Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I had called the customer number [protected] for enquiring about the available data plan and for shifting of my broadband connection. After waiting for about 10 minutes on the line, I was able to get connected to the service person. Then on asking my query and giving my landline number I was asked to wait. I waited for 5 minutes but there was no response. How long is it required to hold the line to get the service. There should be limit of time within which service should be made available. Time and money of the customer cannot be taken for granted.

The worst service, worst signals you people are only concerned abt the new customers and only looking for the revenues ultimately customers are losing our money by getting this dth... I have escalated the issue to nodal for the connection details and the agent details as they haven't cconnected the dth properly.. Well i am not a fool still trust that you people will give the better service... However i want to share this feedback to everyone social media... And my rating for this airtel dth is 0000 the worst

I did a mistake, I choose the wrong no [protected] instead of [protected] and I recharge of 100 from airtel money app.
Actually I download the app first time and I also use it for first time and unfortunately I put the wrong by mistake.

Dear Sir,
Still I have not received any updates from you regarding above subject matter even after more than 20 days after collecting money from me by your authorized agent for new connection, if the new connection has not made immediately or pay back the amount paid by me immediately, why should I not serve an legal notice and complaint against you.

My broadband not working for 10 days and company not fixing the issues instead they are giving false updates.

Calling 121 number and the customer support consistently giving false updates.

I have called more than 10 times to 121 customer care on the same issue and still issue not resolved.

Appreciate your quick response to resolve this issue.

Let me know as a consumer what rights we have to go against artel to proceed legally.

It is been 1 month now that I an been mentally harrassed by continous mails, sms and calls from collection department on the wrong bill.

The Story is as below :-
1) I was a regular customer of Airtel with a Plan of Rs 1200 odd figure.
2) Once i got a good offer from Hathway, I raised a request to Airtel to decontinue by plan and No. also.
3) Post this one senior guy from Airtel called me and suggested to me to not deactivate the no.. By doing so, in case I need any plan in future, i can call and get it asap. For this the charges will be Rs 49 exclusive of taxes. I agreed for this.
4) Then after a few days I took a 2 GB Plan for Rs 450/- odd figure for a Month
5) After a Month, i call Airtel to dicontinue this plan and continue with the previous plan of Rs 49. Now the Problem starts here. Here the executive activated by Rs 1200 odd figure plan.
6) And now I have been asked to pay this amount, which i am not going to pay.
7) Post this i had in numeral call around 50 odd to the customer care, but still the issue is not resolved.
The worst part is that I have to repeat my problem on each and every call to airtel.
Airtel do not have any system of have the history of the call made by the customer
Plus the commitments done on call against a ticket are not noted in their system and then I am told there are no notes.
The Last commitment done was that they will be waiving all the bill and I need to pay Rs 200 and all my association with Airtel will be ended.
So I said I will do it once I see the balance in my account as Rs 200.
This was committed by Mr. Vivek.
Today again I got a SMS with the bill amount of 1200.
Post this I again called and the same old story continued
Now the last commitment is from Miss Arti is to call me on 15th May at 1:00 and close this chapter
This is the worst service I have ever seen.
Need your urgent help on this.
I also have the Ticket Id and also the Airtel recordings can help us
Now I feel, instead of I paying, I should ask airtel for compensating me for the mental harassment call

Sir/Madam,
You have recently introduced 4G networks and thanks a lot for it. But your 3G network works at the speed of 2G, so I wonder at what speed this grand introduction of yours is going to work at. So grand this newly introduced 4G is that it works almost everywhere or that is what the Airtel 4G advertisement potrays. Anywhere huh?
Well your 3G network does not work properly in a corner of a room and accordingly the advertisement is too much. Don't you think? First work on your 3G services, make them better and then proceed to 4G. How does that sound? Of course this little piece of advice is nothing but crap for you. All I'm trying to say is that me, my family and my friends are all tired of your third-class services and this complaint is on behalf of them. Thank you.

Airtel team - while the company boost about its quality and service - the company does not have the courtesy to call back customer upon cancellation request.

for last 3 days all ii am getting on my lcd is nds hybrid loader. New software is being downloaded. Do not switch off your set top box. Downloading software... Stb waits signals. 0% completed
attaching a snap shot for your reference
finally post waiting for 2 day - call airtel services and requested a cancellation - ref 51597272 as on 11 may 2015
yet again 12 may gone by and no call back from airtel to even ask whats the concern or is there something we can rectify
yet again on 3rd day the same error appears.
Finally call customer service again at 8:15 and spoke to guy called raj.
Who gave a very generic response - " sir koi bat nahi 14 may tak apke pass call ajayega - agar apko disconnect kurna ho to kur do "
amazing - i believe the company needs only to review its thoughts about expansion and addition of more to customer base
but also about retaining customer who have been with airtel for good 5 years plus and also think about hiring better executive who can understand the customer and give solutions and assurance instead of giving answers which reflects that with the size of company it hardly makes a difference for exiting customers to them
the answer from raj to be converted into days is 3 days of suffering already gone through till 12 + 2 more days just to wait for callback from retention team means 5 days of total suffering.
I were to ask airtel - even if you fix the concern - would you refund me the 5 days of no services to me while you already have debited by day on day balance - the answer is - hmmmmmmm'

attaching a snap shot at their facebook page but there is no response as of now! i am anyways moving to tata sky. Airtel goodbye and never see you again.

I called the call center for free incoming on timing. A lady suggested me to do a EC recharge for RS.31. I recharged for Rs.31online. But the plan was not related to roaming. I called back the call center later the same day requesting for a recharge of Rs.31. But the lady who answered the call said that they do not provide wrong information by which she indirectly meant that I was lying. She said that she can't refunded the amount and that nothing can be done about it. Worst support from Airtel. They have incompetent and arrogant support staff.
I regret porting my number from Vodafone to Airtel.

Thank You,

Hi there,

I have applied for new broadband connection at A-338, Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan on 5th may 2016. One airtel executive came to receive the document and money. after 2 days I got my account number and fixed line number. But no one came to install the broadband. I am trying to reach out that executive but he is also making story that someone will come for sure. Already 9 days gone.

Sub line of email communication going with appellate.[protected]@in.airtel.com is "REFUND AMOUNT-FIXED LINE A/C NO:[protected]"

Telephonic call received with offer of Telephone and Braod band plan on 8-Apr-16. Since 6 month earlier my request was rejected due to non availability of port for phone in area of residence, i confirmed to verify before processing same, based on assurance given by telecaller i processed for application formalities with Deposit amount Rs 1000/- with application (8-Apr-16, Application CEF No[protected].)

Later i called at [protected] (Airtel) by person on 12-Apr-16 "having an issue will be sort out soon in next 2-3 days and connection will be delivered or we will process for refund".

Date" 23-April-16 requested for refund through NEFT (all necessary documents were scanned and email to the above email id.

on 26-Apr-16 communicated "we have initiated your refund on 25/4/16 and you will get the same with 4-5 working days on your respective bank account. "

on 29-Apr-16 recd call informing "cheque will be processed by next week"
same day i informed to above email id.
Reply recd on 30-Apr-16
refund through NEFT with the reference number 66994148 has been rejected stating that refund through cheque is in under process. Hence, you will receive the refund through a cheque within 4 to 5 working days.

Via email, they have verified and confirm that your refund of Rs. 1000/- has already been processed as a cheque bearing the number "699060" dated on 26-04-16 which is in transit for delivery within 10 to 12 working days.

While follow up /communicating after 12 working day regarding non delivery of cheque, updated that above cheque is dispatched on dispatched on[protected] and the same will be delivered within 20 working days.

Today am reaching to you as not finding where i am standing as a customer.

Resp. S/m,
I recharge my mobile for data with rs.1.00 on 08 may 2016 as per advertised 1gb data but data balance not credit than after i call to customer care no.121 on 11 may 2016 at about 10 pm for data balance update. At customer care call receiving person insure to me for already credited data balance but not show in your mobile because our system upgrading and you can use data balance, than after i open net and use some data, after some time mobile snow my main balance and deducted about more than rs.200, i shocked. I continue user airtel data scheme about more than 5 years.
Please refund my main balance due to wrongly deducted in above mobile number.
"thanks with regards"

I asked them if this type of fraud you people will play with customers then please request my no for mnp. And they answered that sir ofcourse its your choice you can go for it and disconnected my call.

Hello airtlel

I am using my number [protected] for past 10 years... All my official and business contacts have this number only inorder to contact me
I left to us last month... I was not able to receive incoming... Since i did not activate isd calls...
When i returned back to india my number has been blocked...
I was made to walk piller to post unnecessarily... I also raised so many mails regarding the same... Still am unansered... When i approached airtel store... They gave a very irresponsible answer without any respect to the longstand customer and they replied that i have to wait for 2 month or more to get back the number...

I am a postpaid customer and i have to change my airtel postpaid to prepaid. I have used this airtel postpaid more 3 months. I call to customer care for change airtel prepaid and the customer care says "ok you have to change your postpaid to prepaid". Then, i requested to the airtel showroom at 2-may-2016 in moolakadi, madhavaram high road (Near bsnl office), chennai-600039. Still not yet changed to prepaid.

Details:
Name: lakshmanan,
My postpaid number: [protected]
Prepaid sim number:[protected]u

I have recharged my airtel prepaid number twice with rs.1000 and rs.500. The amount has been debited from my bank account and i received message from the bank. But recharge has not been done and the money didn't get added up in the wallet too. Tried contacting airtel customer care number but no use. Really shocked to see so many complaints regarding this. Airtel need to take immediate action regarding this.
