Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I used to use data packs of airtel. when out of 1gb 100 or 150 mb is left they just finish it up and then they deduct talktime balance 70, 80 or even Rs 100 within seconds. today I was not using data plan on talk time I recharged for Rs 44, I was given 130 mb then in fraction of minutes the whole data finished again. disgusting. shear loot. no one is there to control

Dear sir/madam,
This is with regards to my no.[protected]. I had a outstanding bill of 3500 for jus a month. I started receiving calls frm the recovery dept. No. [protected]. The girl literally threatened me pay up immediately or else we will permanently disconnect ur no. I[censored] c my bills i have been paying approx.1700 every month. I jus paid 1200 now n am suppose to pay 1900 by today only but the girl from tht recovery dept. Is calling at least 100 times in 30min interval on my alternate no. And threatening saying “kardo payment with in 5 min nahi toh ghar par aadmi bhej dengay n hungama hojayega, fir no. Bhi permanatly band kardungi fir leke ghumna apni mummy ka phone” wat sought of recovery is this to a one month old bill and even whn the customer is paying up. This is the dilect:hamare pass aur koi kaam nahi hai kya”. I asked for the supervisor she said waseem khan.. Not available.. Im cacalling from airoli mumbai…to add to the insult the lady called my mother saying aapko sharam nahi aati…i wish i would have jus been thr would have tht ladies case.. Is this the way to talk…

I regret to inform u that i[censored] hire such people then im sorry airtel as a brand is degrading ur standards.. It feels like im living in a gundaraj era and using a local gully network…. Pathetic…..

I would definitely pay it.. N think of porting it…..

Not at all thankful,

Hi,

I am an airtel pre-paid user. Last week i swapped my 3g SIM with a 4g SIM. Since swapping I am not getting any incoming calls nor am I able to make any outgoing calls. I had put my airtel SIM in another 4g compatible handset and the issue was still the same. Whereas when i have inserted a vodafone 4g SIM in my cell it seems to be working perfectly fine. Moreover the airtel customer support is very non-co-operative.

I had swapped my SIM from an Airtel Store in Airoli the sales persons present at out there are not at all customer friendly. It seems its a pain for them to handle Customers.

A simple swap from 3g to 4g has resulted in me wasting my 4 to 5 hours in getting my issue resolved. Still the problem persists.

Airtel's quality of service and network has really degraded over the past years. The most important point being its shown that 4g is available everywhere whereas in a city like Mumbai we face for airtel network connectivity.

Hi,

Its been more than 2 year I have been using airtel service provider in mumbai(Goregaon east) office location is malad west.
Signals r too weak to even talk. I face hell lot of network issues. Most of the time i get number not registered on network or out of service area.

I also switched to vodafone no use. None of the companies r providning good network in Mumbai.

Sir my name is shivam on 18 june 2016 i git a call from airtel company he said you will won 5 lakh rupees and pulsar so please vfill the form fee is 350 rs then he said next day your amount is very big so pay the tax 5200 rs and then he said give me account no then he said next day your account is not complete for this big amount so you will pay n6300 rs then he said me next day aab aapko kush nahi milraha hai or galli di so please do some thing take action for him my contact no [protected]

Intially when i asked for a new airtel connection, i got it after 25 days. each time i call them they are saying its a cable fault issue it will be resolved with in 2 days. but i got t only after 25 days.
late when i shifted to some other area and i asked for shifting of my connection. it's very bad experience for me. same thing repeated for me as they are saying same issue cable fault.
its been almost 15 days since i asked for shifting of connection. its not yet done.

guys please dont go for airtle broadband/mobile connection. go for other networks like ACT or heathway or some other network. compared to airtel they are far better.

I received a message stating "MYPLEX MOBILE TV service has been [protected]@Rs45.0 for 10days. Txn ID S[protected], 23Jun16 11:45. Service will be renewed after validity expiry. To use, Click http://www.myplexnow.com (data charges apply). To deactivate, Call or SMS STOP to 155223.For more services, call 56789 or click http://56789.airtel.in" which was not activated by me. When I contacted Airtel Team they said that this was deliberately activated by me and said that my balance won't be returned. So please help me.

I hv got a duplicate sim and it has been activated but i am unable to send any messages or use any services other than call. Call is also not going on all numbers like my second number is [protected], and i cant call on it. Kindly help. Also i am unable to use *121# or *567#. I am also not getting any messages from company of recharge or anything.

Hello Team,

I am not able to access proper airtel network in location. I already raised one complaint but it was closed without customer confirmation. PR[protected].
If any one person calling me during that time it was out of network, I am really unsatisfied with airtel network, I already port into airtel network but looking bad network.

I am using airtel no. since 3yrs haven't cross checked any bill but lastly when i checked out my last 3-4 bills there were amount mistake and extra charges implied. customer care transferred my call to the senior for concern department but he also couldn't satisfied my query and later on they asked me to wait for the call from their account department.

I have been using airtel IPTV for last 11 years and till now no one has notified about IPTV shut in Delhi. I just read here about this abrupt closing of operations. Being a consumer, i want compensation from airtel as i do not want to switch to dth but continue with IPTV only. I use IPTV +broadband +fixedline on a single bill and I'm not sure how Airtel will fool us. How will they divide the charges if they close down one of them. Why should I continue with Airtel when i can get broadband and fixed line from better providers.
Closing on services with 1 month notice is not justified as I need a better window to search for options.
I demand compensation from airtel instead of switching platform or else I have enough proof to go to consumer forum as airtel is planning to cheat consumers.

Airtel - you cannot close down services without notifying consumer and giving them enough time to look for options and offer switch to your platform only which is a clear cut case for forgery and trying to fool customers to create monopoly.
If you offer services but cannot sustain them, better quit this telecom domain.

Highly disappointed with airtel.

I pay Airtel broadband for 16 MBPS of bandwidth. For the last 20 days I have been receiving between 1 and 10 MBPS. I have lodged two complaints with Airtel. I have escalated to the Nodal officer, and the Appellate officer also. Airtel has not resolved the low bandwidth issue, even though I am paying for 16 MBPS. Customer care just marks the status of the complaints resolved when the problem still persists.

Complaint on June 3: 68552538
Complaint on June-12: 68894388
Email to nodal officer on: June-13

My broadband user id: [protected]_ap
Relationship number is [protected]

Airtel needs to do two things:
1. Fix the problem immediately.
2. Refund payment of one month.

Recently i have lost my android phone and so when i approached AIRTEL outlet at ghatkopar west near R city mall, they asked me for my id alongwith Rs 25 and have given a new sim and when i activated that it number changed from [protected] to [protected]. this is height o[censored]nprofessional and callous attitude.

Moreover when i contacted Airtel customer care it took me 20 minutes to explain him my problem and was given idiotic reply to port my number and nothing can be done, go and meet once again to the outlet of airtel store..


Kindly sort out the issue at earliest..

Today i am having bad experience with Customer Relationship Center Nariana Vihar New Delhi.
There was no one available for any assistance, i waited there for almost 15-20 minutes and no one bother to assist me.I went over there to upgrade my 3G Service to 4G but getting pathetic service at the center.

I was standing in front of the service desk to ask my query and the person just walks aways without any excuse, its a simple curtsy you should ask a person with a simple words like please have a seat i will assists you.
I felt so disparage and approces to the next desk and the guy was busy on the phone hence i waited over there till he fineshed her talk.After conversation on phone i ask the guy name Shiv can you please help me and the guy didnt bother to answer anything continuosly ignoring me, i still waited for next 5 mins hope to get the answer of my query and again ask the same question and again not received any positive response from the relationship guy.

I am stunned that at the relationship center these type of employes are working who manners of the customer handelling and such a unethical behavior towards the customer make me feel so trivialize.

This was the second time i visited that center and again such a awful experience makes me feel not to use any futher service and new service of Airtel.

Thanks for such a disreputable relationship center at my location.

Hi team,

Airtel has come up with a new scam called the open network. Which basically means how many towers airtel has in your locality and it's network strength. They claim to be the first brand to do this but vodafone is already doing it. They are misguiding their customers by calming themselves to be the first open network. Irrespective of anything their network is extremely poor across india.

They are giving 3g services in the name of 4g and 2g in the name of 3g. They are manipulating their customers by doing such promotions and not focusing on their network. Poor network coverage, bad data connection, call drops and wrong promotion strategy are the main reason why i'm filing this complaint.

They are taking their customers for granted and not evening paying attention to their expectations and complaints.

It's my humble request for you to look into this matter seriously. I have certain proofs regarding the same. Please keep me informed. Thank you.

Regards,
Vikas

This is shameful that being a telecom industry which is pure service industry customers is suffering alot. While promoting in the world for best service providers.
I had changed my sim twice as per instrusction 10 months back, i had changed my mobile too/ setting & everything which i can do as a user. Or as
Advised by u people to off/on phone, to remove & insert sim/to clear sim/to replace sim/to replace phone. Bla bla bla... But still no 3g network available
In allahabad uttar pradesh location as per my billing address.
Also, in most of the areas airtel do not have 3g networks, even the locations & towers which are reflected in your site does not have 3g connectivity networks. I have cross checked with airtel operators & engineers too.
Also one of your executive advise me to swich the airtel if i m not satified.. Is this the solution for users...??
I just simply wants the 3g network which is not working, either stop the 3g services in allahabad location as stop making fool.
