Airtel Complaints & Reviews

My 78 year old grandmother has a basic model mobile which doesnt support any facilities like internet.In her mobile amount is deducted for activating facebook.I have already spoke to customercare to stop such subscription messages.Even after that she is receiving such messages.Most of the villagers who use mobile phones, dont know to read messages and they activate services without knowing and loose their money.Mobile companies are earning money by cheating these people.In order to subscribe these value added services, people must be asked to speak to computerised voice or something..they are simply deducting money for pressing some keys without their knowledge.

My name is rajnish and number is [protected] I have a cug connection of airtel. these people always search new ways to bill more. sometimes says the plan has been changed. sometimes other excuses. and I haven't seen the worst customer care ever. they will tell you 10 policy with they bound in not helping u. but they dont have a single policy which can help u.

In the months of July and August 2015, for a total period of 17 days there was no network in my house. Nothing was done to resolve the issue and all my mails to Airtel got a very standard unhelpful response. A few days back outgoing calls were disconnected and no attempt by them to resolve the issue and subsequent amount due.

This time it is literally ridiculous work done by the airtel compalint holders .I didnt get any answer by Airtel employees.3-4 months have been passed and till today i didn't get any response from them.If you don't take cares about your customer then what is the need of showing so much by this making complaint box .This is nothing just panicking the [censored] customer.

Reminder 4 - two months & counting

Dear team,

Yesterday i received the invoice for the last month as per the bill cycle. It is amazing to know that no action has been taken on the disputed amount till date. As it is still reflecting in the invoice along with lpc.

No one from airtel has contacted me till date on email or call despite me writing to you.

Heights of incompetence.

Please resolve asap.

Dear mr. Deepak mehta,

With ref to airtel landline no[protected] in the name of 'jagmandeep singh'.

This is to bring to your notice that rs 1530 / - have been wrongly billed against some premium number service (1752).

Please note, this number is installed at my parents residence (Brigadier sukhwindar singh) in noida and is primarily used only for broadband services. We have had a relationship with airtel for the almost 10 years now, and never in the past such a thing has happened. If you check our history the bill has never crossed rs 1500 per month and all payments are made timely barring a few, in case, we are travelling.

Furthermore, we have done our internal investigation, and concluded that no one i. E., me and / or any member of the family has availed this service. It is extremely shocking that the time stamped mentioned on the bill is the day when no one was available to access the phone lines.

I called 121 in the morning, thinking they will help in taking corrective measures. Unfortunately, they are the most inadequate and unhelpful bunch of customer support executives. I spoke with ms. Geeta who conveniently transferred the call to mr. Pushpendra (So - called escalation manager). Upon explaining him the entire matter, rather than being helpful mr. Pushpendra was rude and extremely non - cooperative. He was more interested in putting his point across rather than listening to me or resolving the matter. I understand, you have outsourced this service to a third party call - center but they need to be at least equipped and should have wherewithal of basic customer service etiquette's, leave alone keeping the airtel brand values or standards. Since, all calls are recorded for training & quality purpose, i suggest you listen into the call and ask your service quality team to do a dipstick. The calls time stamp is 22nd jul 2015, 10:17 (12 mins call) from my registered mobile no.

I'm extremely disappointed and sad after all these years airtel behaves so inappropriately. The point is not that i can't pay this amount but i would pay for services that have been rightly used. At no stage, i will pay against wrong billing. However, i'll pay for the monthly rent and broadband usage charges, which is the remainder amount.

I have taken the liberty to mark the consumer protection court and dot under cc in this mail.

Request you to help resolve the matter.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I had opted for new airtel connection with number portability as I was dis-satisfied with the services from my current network provider So I filled in my details on airtel site, and got someone from airtel call me up with the available plans and offered me one which suited me, I agreed to take that plan up and requested for someone to give me a call for the sim and the formalities. Now the follow up was done, a guy came to...

Since last 4 months, I am facing network problem. Most of the time Airtel network is not available. It is showing "No network". I have filed a complaint for the same. Reference id is 65011993. They have closed this issue without fixing my problem. I am regular post paid user so I want solution for this issue. Please do needful as soon as possible and If you are not able to do that then please don't send airtel bill. My Address is 25/2, Shanti marg, Mandawali, new delhi-110092. Thanks,

Hi, First of all, I would like to express my dissatisfaction towards AIRTEL. I am a new customer for Airtel and I have taken a new prepaid connection last month (Number- [protected]). My internet package was valid till 28th Sept; however, my balance kept on deducting. I recharged my account for Rs 500 today and in just an hour, my balance went to Rs 321. To this, I called the customer care department on 20-Sept-2015 and had a word with Ritika (executive) who was very very rude and without my permission she transferred the call to Sandeep (Senior as per him from Chandigarh office). I explained entire detail to him once again but in vain. He did not understand what I want to explain (though I spoke in Hindi) and I asked him to transfer the call to his manager, He clearly said he cannot transfer the call to manager and gave me this email ID. CONCERN: I did not get any message when my Internet pack was about to expire, I did not even get any message when money kept on deducting. Top of that, a brand like Airtel hiring such useless people who are not even properly trained and they give silly excuses, they are rude. I ANYHOW WANT THIS TO BE SORTED. I HAVE BEEN A CUSTOMER WITH VODAFONE FOR LAST 8 YEARS AND EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THEM. THOUGHT OF GIVING A TRY WITH AIRTEL BUT USELESS. WOULD NOT SUGGEST AIRTEL TO ANYONE. I would also try to highlight this to everyone possible. People should not only be aware about airtel just launching 4G, they should also know how unprofessional and incompetent they are. Top of that, they deduct amount from account with any notification or usage. Regards, Shyama Nair +91-[protected] +91-[protected]

My Number is [protected] from Airtel Maharashtra and Goa. I made a recharge of 3G on 14th September 2015. My 3G Service is not activated since I ported my number to Airtel. I have called customer care 30 to 40 times. They have no answer. My complaints got closed automatically without any solution. I have called to Nodal Officer. They are unable to respond properly. I have called Appellate Authority. They are not having control on their technical team.Always they demand one week time and so on.Still I am unable to use 3G service. I request all of you if you are reading this message be aware of these problems.

I had a number [protected] and it is disabled now with an excess amount of 195 rs. For the refund, I have visited airtel gallery and they told me that they would do NEFT as my address is changed now. So I submitted cancelled cheque 2 times to airtel gallery. first at Naupada gallery and second at Powai gallery. And it was raised in the month of may. details for my SR: 1. SR number:63092464 2. ARC name and address. Airtel gallery shop no 54, 55 galleria, hiranandani gardens, powai Mumbai 4000076 3. Executive name and number. Soyal and +[protected] From that time, it's around 5 month, and airtel couldn't process my request . for this I have visited airtel gallery 4 times which itself gave me a mental pain plus wastage of around 400 rs. Now my request went for an escalation to airtel gallery powai manager(I dont know his name). He is not at all educated as he doesn't know how to behave with customer. He called me with these statement. 1.why are you creating so much noise for just 195 rs. 2.If you really want these money back, then I'll give this from my pocket. His number is: [protected] he was saying that he is the manager of Airtel gallery shop no 54, 55 galleria, hiranandani gardens, powai I'm mentally harassed by his words, is he rich enough to pay me?????? Is AIRTEL rich enough to pay for all the harassment and stress???

National Portability i.e MNP given and taken back after number working properly for 45 days. Changed SIM thrice and still not activated. It has been more than 10 days. The case is of Airtel Kolkata. Nodal Office team does not reply. Store Manager of Airtel Walk-in store Gariahat Mr. Abhishek Singh does not reply to mails. Went to store several times and they say they are helpless as Network Engineer is not responding. What is this? Does it take so much time to activate an already existing number.

I am the airtel customer since 14 years. i have been using this network as postpaid since 2012 and facing problem with excess billing. most of the time i switch off mobile data and use my office as well residence wifi. but still i cant understand i will get message saying that u have reached maximum limit of 3g (1gb), which is ridiculous. my plan is 399/- where as i got bill last month i.e august 2015 is rs 1625/- please solve my problem

Hi,
I'm want to tell you that Airtel customer service representative have cheated me and they are not solving my problem. First they gave me wrong information regarding recharge of Rs 297 and then after that day they are giving false promises that they have never completed.
I have two airtel number on my name first one is [protected] and second one is [protected]; my second number is in roaming.
I contacted their customer service representative from my mobile number [protected] on 4th of Sept at 5 :10 am regarding recharge of Rs 297. I had query that whether this recharge of 297 works in roaming or not at that time I have told that Its works but first I have to recharge my number with Rs 11 most importantly customer service representative confirmed it thrice . As customer service representative has told me I did recharge of Rs 297 on same day but when I tried to recharge with Rs 11, I was not able to do that and my transaction was getting failed again and again when I called customer service representative in the afternoon at that time they told me that no it do not work in roaming. When I said but one of customer service representative told me in the morning that it works with recharge of Rs 11 so I got reply that they will call me after 4 hour because first they want to listen that conversation I said okay no problem you can. And after that afternoon every day I'm calling them but every time I'm getting same response sorry sir sorry for inconvenience and I'll call you after few hours but no body ever called me back. One of customer service representative gave me mobile number of area manager (Prema Pai ) I tried contacting him/her but could not reached.
Since I had received wrong information from customer service representative and It was not my fault so I had demand that either make that plan work in roaming for this month or return my money to my bank by canceling my transaction or transfer that benefits to my first number which is in Mumbai or Return that 297 in to my main balance but in my first number which is [protected].
I just had asked them and it was my demand because they had made mistake and it was my right to ask whatever convenience was for me but they could have called me back and could have given their own suggestion but no body ever called me back always I had to call them and explain everyday that this happen with me because your customer service representative gave me wrong information and same story will continue every day that is sorry sir sorry for inconvenience and I'll call you after 4 or 6 or 8 or 24 hour.
Now I'm deeply hurt and feels tortured.
First they made mistake instead of correcting that mistake they are giving false promises that never gonna work.
Even I went to airtel gallery but they also refuse to listen to me by saying that this problem will be handle by customer service representative only because they only have audio tape or recording of that conversation.

Thanking You
