Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir I am subhendra behera. I have applied for number portability of my Idea Mobile number to Airtel in Karnataka State. I applied for portability of my numbers [protected] & [protected] on 17.11.2015. The Customer Care representative colleted the documents and UPC for both my numbers. However, the number is not yet ported out to Airtel Number. In this regard, I submit the following Customer Care Executives who have collected the UPC and enquired about the portability 4 times at different occassions. Today I again received calls for giving a fresh UPC to port out my numbers. Number of customer care executives from Bangalore Airtel Office are given below [protected] [protected] [protected] [protected] [protected] I am not getting any satisfying answer for non portability of my numbers. When I call back these numbers are not responding and in case they respond by chance, the Customer Care Executives are behaving rudely not in a proper manner. I request Airtel Services to kindly return my documents submitted for MNP and photographs and take back their sim cards given to me. I am more worried about the kind of service and safety of my documents. I wanted to come to Airtel network and avail its services, you guys are treating like this. I do not know what kind of treatment the customers must be getting who are opting out of Airtel. Kindly look into the same. Thanks & Regards..

1. I had applied for shifting of my triple play connection around[protected]-4059590) Airtel refused that shifting is not possible because of feasibility issues. 2. I then applied for a new connection with IPTV, which was successfully installed around 28/[protected]-4223935) and I was able to use IPTV till 4/[protected]. 3. Suddenly IPTV stopped working and since then I have been following up at different levels but all in vain including the appellate authority. 4. I was being asked to pay an amount of ₹3500 for new set top box and ₹1000 for installation charges. When I refused and exchanged emails, they agreed for this waiver. 5. Finally on[protected], I received email from appellate that due to feasibility issues they are unable to activate IPTV connection. I know this is all about money and also the monopoly that Airtel has over other service providers for IPTV.

I ported from Idea to Airtel and I got message from 1900 that number will be ported at so and so time and then my Idea sim got de-activated but Airtel did not activate my number. After several complaints, they took 10 days to solve the issue and all this 10 days my number wasn't active due to which I faced huge loss, mental disturbance and affected the reputation for which Airtel people committed me that they will take care of it once the number is activated. Now after 1.5 months, I am trying regularly to get my loss and compensation of Rs.25000/- for which Airtel completely ignored and now they dis-agreed for it saying the connection wasn't activated due to technical error and we apologize for it but cannot do anything. I want this to be taken seriously and get me my loss amount of Rs.25000/- Please help regarding this matter.

Dear Sir Sub: Airtel Broadband Landline Connection - Disconnected I, Venkatesan D M, residing at B-93, Shikar Tower, Near Shyamal Cross, Satellite, Ahmedabad - 380015, Mob: [protected], bring to your kind notice that I applied for Airtel Broandband Landline connection for six months package and made the payment by cash to the sales executive Mr. Ravi Dave on 21/08/2015. I received SMS from Airtel that my account number is [protected] and it will be processed in 3 working days. but because of some technical issues, I received another account number [protected] and it got installed and activated on 02/09/2015. Meanwhile, I recevied a call from Airtel Customer Executive that you will get refund of Rs. 6255/- since the account [protected] could not be activated for some technical reason. i refused the offer and informed that my account [protected] is installed and activated. I also received SMS on 03/09/2015 asking for my bank account details to refund of Rs. 6255. but i did not reply since i got the connection. after two months, i was receiving calls that the amount is not credited to the account [protected] and subsequently my connection got disconnected. When i enquired the sales executive, he informed me that he handed over the payment to his superior Mr. Chintan Purohit and then his superior Mr. Sharoop Dej approved for activating the connection. I did not expect this kind of mismanagement from a reputed firm like Airtel. I have a doubt Whether Airtel will activate the connection before receiving the payment. If the connection is not restored within 7 days of this mail, I have to taken up the issue legally.

Hi, I recently applied for airtel broadband connection through online and after 2 days an airtel person came to my place to pickup the Money, ID. Photo for documentation purposes. The Airtel person didn't even full up the form but he gave me a blank airtel form paper which fortunately had some carbon prints while he took note of me on a white paper. After that he said the connection will be done in 3 to 5 days but its been 17 days and I haven't got the broadband connection. I tried to call him but he did not pick the call for ever. I finally decided to complaint this to airtel suppose but that didn't work as usual like a garbage service. Although I didn't give up and started complaining to AIRTEL NODAL OFFICE, then still its worst service than ever. One of the email from nodal office addressing me in a different name which is not my registered name. This is the Office and the name of a person who took the money and never returned it. Name: Siddharth, Phone:[protected] Now I lost my Rs. 1100/- Money, Documents, Photo. I am too worried about my documents instead the money, because I think they are probably selling my Documents to some other kind of 3rd parties. For Forum Users: I have uploaded the image of the blank forum which I received from the pathetic aritel executive. In fact airtel doesn't have any qualified employees to handle the customers. Please check the documents. For my security purpose I will have to cover my name and number. DON"T EVERY CHOOSE AIRTEL, IT IS A TOTAL FRAUD AND SCAM BROADBAND SERVICE PROVIDER. THERE ARE MISLEADING ADVERTISERS TOO.

Fictitious International SMS Being charged on my post-paid Airtel Mobile number[protected] from the month of August 2015. From the month of August 2015 cycle, i.e. 26th July 2015 to 25th Aug 2015, I noticed that 4 to 5 International SMS being charged in my post-paid bill. This is again being reflected in the September 2015 cycle and November 2015 billing cycle. Please be informed that (a) the cell number is exclusively used by me and the cell phone is always in my custody (b) I do not have any contact or relative staying abroad. Later on receiving itemised bill, I notice that the number is o[censored]K. The same number is repeated every cycle. This leads me to believe that my cell number is being hacked /purposefully misused by dubious means, and my cell number is used to send International SMS. With number of Terrorist activity growing worldwide, I am afraid that my cell number is being tried, and if corrective measures is not taken, this may lead to some irreparable damages. As a responsible citizen I have informed airtel on 29th August 2015, 29th September 2015 and 28th November 2015. Till date the issue is not resolved. If tomorrow something wrong happens, AIRTEL Kolkata will be sole responsible. Details of the complaint with the respective Airtel personnel’s are appended below. Those details interaction will prove my inosine and entire responsibility will rest on AIRTEL Kolkata. Since no action has been taken by AIRTEL Kolkata, so far to rectify and corrective action taken, other than waiving the charges, I will be compelled to (I) inform the local police officials and if required inform the Central Bureau of Investigation / CID (ii) inform consumer forum (iii) Inform Grievance redressal cell (iv) lodge a complaint with the consumer court. Details of my Airtel Kolkata cell number. Airtel number :[protected] Relationship number: [protected]. Please note the following. ⦁ On 29/08/2015 I called up 121 and contacted Jayasree. She assured me to investigate and resolve the issue. She deducted the amount and further assured me that it will not happen in future. ⦁ On 29/09/2015 I called up 121 and contacted (a) Subham (b) Askin (c) Tamnoy Ghosh. Interaction id : [protected] All of them assured that they are advising back end office and assured that this will not happen in future. However no such charges was levied on my bill in October 2015 cycle. ⦁ On 28/11/2014 I called up 121 and interacted with (a) Shalina Ali (b) Poulami (c) Ajay Kumar Verma. Interaction id: [protected] ⦁ On 29/11/2015 I called up 198 and interacted with (a) Sushant .Interaction id: [protected] and (b) Vijayalaxmi Mishra Interaction id: [protected]. ⦁ 01/12/2015 Alokesh mistri interaction id: [protected] ⦁ 03/12/2015 Alokesh Mistri interaction id: [protected] ⦁ I thank Airtel for waving the charges levied. ⦁ Rs 20/- or Rs 25/- does not make difference to me nor to Airtel. This amount does not make me poor or Airtel rich. ⦁ The answer lies in detecting the problem and rectifying it. ⦁ Please note that I am a very old customer/client of AIRTEL. Where ever I had been for my service or for business I have always preferred Airtel and picked up Airtel number. ⦁ I still have 2 Airtel numbers. One of Faridabad and the number is[protected] and the other is of Bangalore[protected]. Not for a single cycle I have ever faced any problem with Delhi circle or Bangalore. In 2001 I had picked an airtel number[protected] which was with me till 2007 [address of the Delhi number was C/o AstraZeneca C-146 Okhla Industrial area Phase -1]. It is only in the West Bengal circle this problem cropped up and still exists. ⦁ All the executives above had given me assurance that my problem will be resolved but with no visible result. I hope that some one will finally take an Initiative to resolve the issue. Expecting a line of confirmation. Regards Sandweip Banerje

It starts with a phone call to the customer care executive of air-tel around 6 pm on 2.12.2015. I then asked about a exclusive 4g plan for 1gb, excecutive then replied that by recharging 251 i would get 1gb 4g data. after this I have told there is already a plan of 265 where i would get 3g/4g 2gb data. I then said i want only 4g plan. finally he said that i have to recharge 251 for 1gb 4g data. Immediately I have recharged 251 around 8.30 pm but unfortunately I have got 1gb 3g data instead of 4g data. after that i have again called customer care & then my call got transferred to senior executive he didn't give me a satisfactory answer. along with this he assured that i have already got double data. practically I haven't got that. after that conversation many times i called but no response came through. who will take the responsibility of this loss of mine, where i have not get proper 4g data and also get half data compare to conventional plan .
