Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hello,

I have been an airtel customer for quite a lot of years. But recently i shifted to another service provider.
Soon after submitting the 'porting' request, i got number of calls from airtel customer care, where i was literally interrogated (Seriously grilled with harsh questions and even more harsh tone of voice) by the representatives. After finally telling them all the time they called they ported my number.
But after porting, i found out that none of the airtel mobile numbers are able to call me. I ask my friends and relatives who had airtel mobile number, to give me a call, but it always said that "this number is not valid" (Yeh number vaidh nai hai).
I called up my new service provider to solve this, but they said that this is not in their hands and i need to contact airtel for this.

What i really want is the following :
(1) clear the blockage by airtel. Let all airtel numbers be able to call on my mobile.
(2) an apology in written (Email) by the airtel management for the insult by the representatives.
(3) a compensation for the trouble caused.

Dear sir,

I am very dissatisfied with the airtel service and the whole system where customer care executive tells me that all the charges coming to my account are due to my ignorance... great that airtel is doing this cheap cheating with a banner of open network where every thing is transparent...

I have not received any responses from the so called appellate authority or the the person ranked below yet for a mail sent weeks back and when i enquired about this the customer care executive said that a reply will be sent only if there is a mistake from the part of airtel, again great service...

After i sent mail to these people i tries to receive the call and internet usage details and they again charged money from my account though the cost of the service was not mentioned in the app.

The face book pages will for sure tell us how n number of people are getting affected by this irresponsible people.

I am not sure how to officially lodge a complaint against them so that the customers who feed these type of people are not getting fooled... i have forwarded the mail to ombudsmen to aee if they help

They only respond when they have received the port request and the response is amazingly fast.

Very frustrated from airtel service. never want to recommend airtel dth to any one.

Every once a month our dth shows a signal loss error.
We have to call the helpline number and then airtel's representative comes and rectifies the problem.
Next month same thing is repeated.
This time due to rains, the error came again. After waiting for 2 days, we called the customer care. The representative replied that it would go by itself. We informed that it has already been 2 days, to which he rudely replied that it with go as the rain goes.

Hi,

Account no. [protected] somashekar reddy, prior to january 2016 we have not used the digital services for quite a while. We have received repeated calls from your sales team that there is a promotion/offer going on.. If we recharge with rs1450 its going to be for one year validity (6months + 6months). The person told to call back once we are done with the recharge. My wife did the recharge online and called back the customer service to say she has recharged with the said amount and took the confirmation from your customer service team that the offer is activated and will last for one year validity.

Since 4-5 days when i switch on the tv i could see a message on the screen saying "your account is going to expire soon contact digital tv service". I called the customer service and informed the issue he said he is not the right person and his backend team will get back to me to resolve the issue. After 2 days i have received a call from your backend team and i explained the issue what i really facing with he simply said that it expired because there is no sufficient balance in the account that i know of as this is the issue is related to the offer which was not activated from your side. I really had hard time speaking to your backend team and your supervisor (Irfan) don't have minimum ethics to handle a customer. Not listening to the customer properly and giving out the same information again and again which is not acceptable to any customer no one really appreciate this.

Irfan (Supervisor) told me to write an email as he is not in a position to give answers to what i am asking. He also said that we didn't call the customer service to avail the offer "how can he say that" that's rude way of answering to a customer. When i am promptly saying that i called to inform that i recharged with the said amount which is rs1450 to avail the offer. If that is the case you are misleading the customer with false promises and offers. I have raised an issue from my side its your backend team and supervisor responsibility to resolve the issue and now he let me write this email i am not sure where this is going to. Kindly resolve the issue as soon as possible as i am unable to watch the tv now.

Team airtel,
First and foremost, i am asking my own self whether it is necessary that we should mark our grievances to such a level to get the basic service? the answer is big ‘no’
Mobile phone service providers industry is as competitive as much as any other industry existing in this country barring some area of monopolization. however, we are one such company trying to pursue with the know entity (known devil) rather than eyeing for other service providers. else, if i produce the list, probably, i may find it difficult to entertain the readiness of other service providers.

We may have by now made 100 plus complaints at all level regarding pathetic network issue. we are so surprised to see that not even a single person from your back up ever visited as of now since last 6 months. it appears to be a case of you are over board and can’t handle the existing customers or you wish to scale down your activity.
Even port request placed is not making any impact to your working style indicates that you have a incapacitated set of team working behind which requires immediate redressal. we lost substantial share of business and probably may to continue to lose some till we find the alternate service providers.
It is a disgusting experience dealing with you in an era of dime a dozen service providers!!

Broadband service not installed, even after the installation fee payment was made 15 days back. i have applied for the airtel broadband connection and i received the airtel phone number[protected] and the a/c no-[protected]. i have registered several complaints but to no avail. i chose airtel for its service, and this has been a shocker. i expected better from airtel.

Land line phone not working from last 2 months, and sending bills .i did complaints around 4 times, but no one responding, kindly please do the needful.

This is the 2nd time, Airtel promised me availability of Broadband connection feasibility, collected all the documents + 1000 Rs and denied me the connection after continuous followup.
Reason, not feasible.
My connection allocated :[protected]
I feel this is a gang operations to collect money from customer, use it for circulation and refund after one month.
This should be treated as a crime, rather than default in feasibility.
Airtel should be sued for such ill legal operations.

Pl. support me on the forum to raise such complaint.

Hi,

Applied for two connections: 20th june 2016
(one new postpaid and one prepaid to postpaid.)
Submitted documents: 21st june 2016
New connection activated yet, prepaid to postpaid still pending.

I have applied for changing my sim from prepaid to postpaid. but my connection has not yet activated. ([protected]).
Nobody is contacting for solving the problem. when contacting on 121 and 198 they are telling me your address is not validated. but i have received no call from any executive of airtel stating that he is coming for same.

Also, now they are saying that you won't get benefit of 499 but you can get rs375 plan, which has 1gb 3g and no unlimited 2g, like that of 499.

When i expalined the matter to the people who called me, they said they will call me and give me solution in 24hrs, but there has been no call for heloing me solve.

I feel really bad that i am stuck with airtel and airtel is treating a 3yr old customer so badly.

My number is flooded with cb messages all the days. I am feeling sick of it and want to stop all this nonsense. Sender nos. Are; 55315 at 10.22 am and 578784 at 10.21 am on 12.07.2016. Other nos. Are 56789 and 55000 etc. From whom i am receiving cb messages regularly all the days. Kindly arrange to sop coming of these messages otherwise i have no other option but to close this number. Is there anybody who can help me out of this problem.
I also lodged a complaint with customer care service. Their executive replied that they have their limitations and can not stop of coming such messages completely.

I have raised a request online for a new broadband and fixed line connection. One of the executive called and sent his executive (Name: chethan and his number is [protected]) to collect the documents. He said that the service charge is rs. 1000 and i need to pay him. Asked him about the receipt and he said that it will reflect in the coming month bill and took the money.
I had to wait for a week and then tried calling, he didn't respond and complained the airtel office. They are such irresponsible people who doesn't care for their customers who requested and to service them. Such a stupid customer service i have ever seen.
So after all this drama about me calling the customer care and complaining them, the airtel customer care came up with a beautiful story stating there's a cable fault in my area and they can't provide it.
So i asked for the refund and they requested me to go online for requesting and the ticket number is aor8a163e.
The account details they said to me is:
Account no. [protected] & telephone no. [protected]

As the balance has come to very minimum since yesterday i am trying to recharge through netbanking as i always do but repeatedly the error message 'sorry your request could not be processed pl. try again' comes i am unable to use my cell now. i tried lodge complaint through airtel site it is too complex and it ask to reenter the code it reglects but even as i enter it correctly it repeatedly says it is wrong... i am at wits end wondering what to do

Dear sir, for my above numbers not yet connected till today, I am doing various type of rectifications done, But not rectified. (with help of your show room i changed my sim also for 2 times) So, Kindly help me, to rectify it. i am not at all enjoying the phones in my hand

Hello, i own airtel postpaid number [protected]. My incoming calls got blocked on may 27th of no reason and without any prior intimation.
I created a support ticket # [protected] same day, followed up with them several times, but no help. Few days later, they gave me another request number 69549848. I have reached them via mobile helpline, facebook, twitter and email but nothing has changed. Taking a new step of shamelessness, they are calling me on my alternate number asking to pay the bill for the services that i was unable to use.
I was unable to book an important ticket because i didn't get any sms for otp confirmation via online banking. Haven't heard anything sensible from them for last 48 days.
