Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I made a complaint to 198 regarding my activation of 51₹ plan for 1 GB night pack via Airtel app.

The problem was that each time I'd try to activate the plan on Airtel app via my main account balance which was already 300+₹, it'd fail doing so.

The ref. # of it was CONRC[protected]

I later called 121 & made the same complaint.

The ref. # is CLTNM[protected]

I got the message saying that the problem is solved but honest, it hasn't been.

Recharge done on 11-may-16 11:15 pm, mrp:rs292.00, pf:254.02, stax:rs36.98, talktime:rs1.00, balance:rs0.30, transid:[protected]

Above msg i have received from airtel, noone can understand what it means.
Actually, i have recharged a pack of 292 rs from mobikwik and got nothing except this message. I talk to customer care of airtel and also complaint to mobikwik also but no solution of it. If airtel has no such pack than how can they deduct the amount and send me silly message like this. I need a solution for this.

Hi,

This is not resolved yet. A technician came to my home, checked the phone and
Later left to check the box from where it is routed. It's been 1.5 hrs since he
Left. No idea, where is he?
I tried calling him, but his phone is not getting through.

This is the 3rd technician who is disappearing after coming to my house. It is
Uch a bad service.
I have decided to send a note to our society management to publish this
Horrible experience in our notice board where at least 100 + connections are
Possible.

Thanks

Notice.

Thanks

I took an airtel connection 2 months back. It was a 10 gb postpaid plan. After 2 weeks of service i consumed 4gb of data. On 29th of april i checked my balance which showed a little more than 5gb of data. I switched off the dongle and slept. Next morning i saw 2 messages in my mobile. 1 which came around 1am saying i have consumed more than 50% of the data and another message around 2am saying i have consumed more than 90% of my data. I checked my balance and found only 600mb of data was left. I called customer care but they said they can't do anything unless the bill is generated which mean i cannot use the dongle any more till the bill is generated. I asked for disconnection and they did that. After the bill was generated i called them and they accepted that that was an error and they cannot do anything as the data cannot be carry forwarded. Also the connection was already disconnected. This is pure cheating. I lost my money as i had to pay for the plan i chose and i did not get the expected value for the money paid. For airtel prepaid, i need to pay rs. 600 to 700 to get that 4gb

Please refer to your customer care message dated 12.05.2016, which i received around 3.00 p. M, in which you have mentioned this month bill due, i have already paid the bill online on 09.05.2016. Why you sent the message if bill already have been paid, neither you sent any payment confirmation message. This type of practice is not tolerable at all. Please overlook the matter and send your reply.

I have requested for airtel broadband for my personal use on[protected] and paid initial payment of rs 1000 as advance to mr guru his mobile number is ([protected]), he said that i will get the connection in two days of time. But to my surprise no one approached to me or i got any call from anyone regarding the connection. Then i decided to call back mr guru who have took the payment from me, he kept on giving me false promises and not taking any initiative steps for me and now he is not picking up my call at all. I am really in mental stress and dont no what exactly should i do. It would be very nice if you guys bring out a good solution for my problem. Please help me out.

I had a 3g data balance of 4.2 gb in my account till 26/05/2016 but, whenever I switch on mobile data it says disconnected. I have this issue from 04/05/2016. When I contacted customer care on 05/05/2016 they said that they will register a complaint and resolve the problem but no use. I called again on 7th and 11th also but no use. I have the messages received from them.

I think they are cheating me. I'm using Vodafone now and it works fine. If airtel can't solve the problem then I have to port to other network.

AIRTEL "SUCKS"

The most popular connection have reached to the jungles but cant provide connection in the city itself. Amazingly High call drops.
However my complaint is about the cheating practices. my porting request has got no response post 45 days however confirmation of reciept of documents i recd prior to expiry of Porting request.
Moreover, i have called number of time to customer care but they didnt revert back and only provide false assurance and reference numbers, i just don't understand what for.

I have applied broadband connection on 7.4.16 chennai.i checked with airtel before applying connection.They said connection feasible but speed max will be 2mbps only.he said plan 2mbps 75 gb 1095 plan.i checked with airtel 2 to 3 times before applying because i have applied airtel on december 2015 but connection cant given due to no feasibilty.I got amount back after 1 month that time.l.I applied for the connection second time now april 2016.I paid 1000 rupees for this connection after 2 days i got call from airtel technical tean from my area.he said connection is not possible in my area and cant give connection in future too.he scolded airtel sales person for doing like this.he said airtel sales team doing like this to finish target.he asked me to get the amount back from airtel and never apply for connection in my area.i called to sales person and airtel team who collected my application but no response from them.please credit my amount back if connection not feasible.

Dear sir,
V opted for a new WiFi plan with unlimited calling, but as soon as it is started our sintex facility has been stopped.. many a times I made a complain of the same, but no resolution has been received yet. Around 15 days have passed, no response to the complain received yet.
I thereby request u to activate it as soon as possible.
The 2 frequently used sintex numbers are 445, 5152.
Thank you

Hi,

I just want to port my number from tata docomo to Airtel, one of your agent Rajendra Mb.no.[protected], collected required documents from me and also provided me a sim, even verification also completed from airtel now it is almost 20 days but still i did not get any feedback from his side even when i tried to contact him many times.but refused to receive my phone calls.
once or twice he communicated with me and i told him to return my documents if you are not able to provide me postpaid connection, but unfortunately he disconnected the phone call, In future if i any misuse of my documents, i'll claim to airtel in this.

Sir, plz activate my closed airtel sim no. [protected] .. Since i was in delhi for my studies, so i cant used my sim .. So it is deactivated... I contacted to airtel head office.. They said they have forwarded the mail to the co. Nd they will give my feedback in 48 hrs.. But no calls from your company i got... Kindly see my request and solve the problem..

I am not happy with the service airtel provides, I have been giving complaints about how one of there executive (Shivaji) took my documents (Xerox / Color) for my second connection and stopped receiving me call and his DSA manager named Jayesh started cutting my calls I have informed at the airtel store, Collection team when I started getting calls, even sent an email to airtel but no help was given .. Now I am getting legal calls, ... I found the executive who was avoiding coming in front of me, and made him speak with the company lawyer but still was approached with a rude response. now I will take each and every legal action possible as I have saved all the call recordings and emails from airtel.. even they need to know the power of the common man!

Hi,

I have ported my mobile number to airtel recently. I was using the connection from May 3rd onwards and suddenly from may 6th onwards the connection was barred. When I contacted the customer care center they were telling that my address verification was unsuccessful whereas I have submitted all the required documents and an airtel representative came to my address for verification. I have been running behind these customer care executives for past one week and they are not at all assisting. I have given this number as contact for all my official purposes, so I can't leave the number as it is. So I humbly request to address my issue as early as possible.

Thanks & Regards,
Aswathi Menon

Not receiving signals of number of channels on airtel dth tv since last 12 days. Dd news - channel no. 290, 686 etc.

Thus airtel is not providing us free to air channels as well.

On complaint no.51545804 lodged with the airtel. Persons came on bike no. Gj06hm9222 could not resolve the issue.

Since not receiving all channels since last 12 days, i should be credited burning charge for those 12 days since burning charge is levied on daily basis irrespective o[censored]sage.

Despite of the fact that weather is all clear in vadodara since last 12 days as well there is no obstacle in front of disk the airtel flash incorrect massage error b0001.In fact all is clear but to avoid companies liability they harasses customer.

Consumer should be paid hefty compensation for not been able to see channels they paid for in advance. Again burning charge is levied on daily basis irrespective o[censored]se of tv.

Trai must take stringent action against such defaulting service provider and ensure we get compensation so that such cheating may be avoided and good customer services may be enforced.

Suggestion:
With dth consumer should be able to change service provider just by change of insensible card to set top box without change of whole installation. It should be made as easy as portability in mobile connection.
