Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Airtel says that my data usage suddenly increased. I was using around 10 GB per month on my 4G. Sometimes, during last few days of bill cycle, I used to purchase smart bytes (additional data). Last month within the first 9 days of bill cycle (of 30 days), I received message that I consumed 100% of my data. Then I upgraded to 25 GB plan.

New bill cycle started on 17th Feb 2016 and when I checked, airtel says that I consumed 5.9 GB of data in just 6 hours!!

This is equal to my 15 days consumption. This simply cannot happen as I intentionally avoided downloading anything and just used it for normal web services in the new bill cycle period.

Airtel MUST investigate this and rectify the error failing which, I will take legal action.

Air tel signal was very poor at my area, iam very much fed up with this network, i already contacted the customer care but no use.
rectify this problem or else i will stop using airtel and make others to do so... Area Village- Ilampur, P.O. -Paratal, P.S.-Jamalpur, Dist-Burdwan,

I submitted my documents to airtel sales agent Arati +91 [protected] for porting my number [protected] from Bangalore Vodafone to Airtel Mumbai. For the next few days i received all verification updates. On 06/02/2016 I received a call from Arati to check on my availability at my local address for verification. I waited for the verification to happen and everyday was told by her that for some reason the executive could not visit my premises & the verification will happen soon. After few days she started avoiding and disconnecting my calls. So I called up the customercare on 11/02/2016 only to know that my AV has been marked as negative even without doing the verification and I need to visit the airtel store and resubmit all my documents again. On 12/02/2016 I visited the airtel store and after lot of conversation with different people my AV was initiated & I was told someone will visit my premises on 13/02/2016, which did not happen. Somehow after lot of phone calls made to different department my AV was marked positive. I was told that within 48 hours i.e. 15/02/2016 my airtel number will be active. On 17/02/2016 when my number was still active I visited the airtel store again only to know that my UPC is expired and I need to generate a new UPC. I was told that since all other formalities are completed my number will get activated within 24 hours. In the meanwhile I have been receiving calls from airtel saying my number has not be ported because I must not have cleared my pending vodafone bills, my AV status is still negative, I have not submitted my documents; none of which are true. I went to airtel store again today 18/02/2016 to submit my documents. I had to do the documentation again. I have been told that they might require to issue me a new sim again. I might have to go to the store again. I have already visited the store 4 times in last one week. Because of the carelessness and unprofessional service quality of airtel I have bear extra roaming charges towards vodafone. Will airtel pay those charges on my behalf? What about all the harrassments I had to go through because Airtel did not do their job properly?

We live in s block greater kailash part and have been having severe network issues we have complaint to the customer care of the same multiple times and as of now the issue is open.
We are being charged for services that we are not using and paying a complete bill is quiet disappointment its not fair that we are charged for actual services issues which Airtel is also aware of
i have 5 numbvers that are all airtel numbers nd none of them work we have to stand on the road and take calls

I am using an airtel postpaid no since many years. Now I have purchased an another postpaid no and submit my existing bill for the current address along with aadhar card and Driving Licence. After verification, team said that address is negative.
If this is negative then why are you not discontinue my existing no that I am using since many years and paid all my bills on time.

Dear Sir,

This is anuradha singh, who owned the number [protected] from airtel. around a year back i was travelling when my phone discontinued and on enquiry i was known the amount was near about Rs.1900/- and when after a month i came back to mumbai i got a call from airtel for the payment of rs. 4800/- as my bill.

As the hardcopy of the bill never received. secondly on repetitive follow up and communication from Neha from airtel collections, i was known that the extra amount over the 300 rs rentals is towards internet and add on packs and when enquired that how a non operating number can opt for add on packs and operate internet. I was given a choice to settle the amount to Rs. 2500/- which i agreed upon the term that i would required either a mail or confirmation that my remaining amount of Rs. 2300/- is waived and i would not be charged the same in future within a span of 2 days from the receipt of the cheque.

A written communication or oral never received due to which i holded the cheque and the cheque got bounced.

After one month of which i got a call and was informed that the same matter will be soughted within 2 days and from then there are no calls from customer service to solve the issue.

After 2 - 3 months i get a reminder call for payment and upon requesting to solve the issue they consider the matter and request to give a day or two days time to solve the issue.. but all in vain.

ALSO, PLEASE CHECK THE RECORDS THAT HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE CALLED AIRTEL FOR THE PROBLEM SOLVING AND ALSO PLEASE CHECK THAT I HAVE ATTENDED ALL THE CALLS DONE BY AIRTEL COLLECTION DEPARTMENT

And today morning, MR. DEVRAJ JOSHI calls and he says he is a government advocate and threats to put me behind bars or trouble me with routine travelling to delhi and ruining my life.. if the said amount is not paid within half an hour to the airtel.

The phone number of mr. devraj is [protected]. can i request the government and airtel company to solve the issues instead of threating the consumers.

Looking forward for your kind response.

Thanks & Regards,
Anuradha Singh

I have recently observed two balance issues in my account.
1. I recharged my DTH account [protected] on 14th dec 2015 with 510. It showed validity till 13th Feb that time. However later in Feb, it started showing validity till 9th feb. So there was extra loss incurred someday.
2.Also, on 9th Feb My account balance showed Rs. 23. I however made a recharge of Rs. 320(15 cashback), as it showed the last day of validity period. So my total balance would have been Rs. 358 on 9th. But on 14th, my balance is 288, which is Rs. 20 short, as per Rs. 10 deductions/day of my current pack.
I want to know my balance history of the days, so that i can get to know when did all these balance descrepencies occur, and when did others of such type occured...Also, I want a refund of that amount. My contact no. Is [protected].

I raised a complaint in the same forum a few days ago stating --
I received a message from 121 stating-Recharge before expiry to get your unsed 3G Data carry forwarded .I did the same but the data has not be carry forwarded .Moreover on repetitive calls to the customer care, there is rude and unethical response from the support people .They are not ready to listen just monotonously mutter their crammed lines for all issues and talk in a harsh tone

To this i received a reply from your side to mail the number and details .I have already mailed my airtel no and contact number to airtel.[protected]@airtel.com .No resolution has been done from your side .Please contact me soon regarding this issue .

Sir on 02/12/2015, 03/12/2015, 07/12/2015, 15/12/2015, 25/12/2015, 02/01/2016, & 19/01/2016. i had requested my airtel no. [protected].(pre-paid) DETAIL CALL DATA for SIX months. through MY emai. to (1)[protected]@in.airtel (2) nodal officer (3) and appellate authority. respectively. Till to day i did not get my airte no [protected] detail call data . ON 13/01/2016. I had migrated from prepaid to postpaid.

I am requesting you sir kindly arrange to issue me my airtel no [protected].(prepaid) DETAIL CALL DATA.. for ONE YEAR / SIX MONTHS. ( UP TO 05 /10/2015).

Dear All,
I have lost my airtel simcard [protected] which is under the name Somashekar. Please block my simcard as soon as possible.

My broadband connection is installed on 29.01.2016 but as service provider "AADHYANT COMMUNICATION BHOPAL PROMISS that the wireless phone instrument installed with in 3-4 days later but till today my complaint is not resolve. Please resolve early.

I've been using airtel since 2004 and the days were good back then with good signal and service from them... And now they started marketing 4g where we cant even get a proper 4 bar signal. Customer care personnel says that its their only duty to forward a complaint and what happens next is non of their concern (doesn't want to reveal the name) i here such complains in our daily conversations both from my professional friends and personal friends.. I know why you are soo confident about not bothering to customer problems because you have corporate client contracts.. Guess what i have a personal and office number of airtel and for both the signal sucks... Please solve this issue before "trai" takes these complains seriously. Regards, phani, [protected] (call me if you want more)

I had bought 10 days back a 4G SIM from your Agents: Raghu Enterprises, MBT Road, Bangarupalyam, Dist. Chittor, Andhra Pradesh. MOBILE; [protected] prop. Mr.Reghu. by paying Rs.150/- and your agent assured full talk value of Rs.150/- which has not yet been activated so far drspite my repeated visits to your agents office. Today when I contacted him he says the person who sold the SIM to me is a fraudster and the actual value for the said SIM is only Rs.60/- whereas my application and the documents submitted by me is with the agent and he is not ready to take responsibility for the wrong and cheating done by his appointed representative.
Under the circumsysnces, I would request you to take strong action against this agent and BLACKLIST him for the fraud he is committrd with the customers with the connivance of his representatives without further loss of time, as otherwise I will be forced to file a criminal suit against you, your agent and his representative under section 420. I must get the extra money charged from me immediately within 48hours and the SIM must be activated at the earliest. I think your company is not a part of this fraud. If so, act immediately to maintain your reputation. If no immediate action, matter will be given to media and docisl media at yout risk & responsibility which pl note.

While porting to Airtel they charged rs.300 as deposit & said that money would settle in bill But when my bill came that amount is not reflecting & even they are not able to reply properly where is that amount . My airtel no is [protected]

Hi,
Even after making payments against mobile no.[protected] on due dates, Airtel didn't posted payments properly and harassing for payment even after providing payment transaction ids wide transaction ID no: 712487 dated 09.12.2015 and 387244 dated 04.02.2016. Now line got disconnected without intimation and I suffered service interruption. Expecting compensation of Rs.10Crores for harassment which has done by Airtel for which I already paid the payments on time as referred above and demanding Airtel to give two 4G life time free connections as part of compensation for their harassment.

I Have surrendered AIRTEL 4g Connection on 26th Dec, 2015.After 24 days airtel got back to me to submit documents for refund, which was forwarded to them 3 times. Airtel did commit that my refund will happen on 6th fEB, and the date revised was 12th feb and again it was further revised to 15th feb, 2016.Till date airtel has not refunded back my Rs.3900, even after submitting all documents.The customer care just notifies that i will get reply in 72 hours, however its been near to 55 days but airtel does not seem to refund my money. Airtel is not giving me the details about the money, even after 35 emails exchange.
They are simply duping customers, which is highly unacceptable.
Below is the case reference number[protected]

I submitted new connection request to airtel 2 weeks back. I got a call last Wednesday (Feb 10)and was told that there is port availability in my area and I can be given new connection. Next day one guy came to get all document and 1000rs payment. I was not given any application number and receipt for the payment I gave. It's been a week and I'm in dark with no status of what's happening. I was told I will get the connection in 48 hours. Nothing happened.

When I called customer support, they are asking for application number or receipt number which was not.provided to me.

I am so disappointed with airtel working with new customer's.

Finally I found the lady who called me from airtel office and senot someone to collect the documents. When I called her few timea did not give me proper response, finally she stopped answering my call. She is jot.even ready to listen to me. She said she is working from Santhome airtel head office chennai, her phone number is [protected]

Now, no one know that I gave a request to airtel for new connection and I have no proof that I paid 1000rs to airtel.

Someone please help me. I need the Internet connection ASAP.
