Airtel Complaints & Reviews

This is with reference to CAF NO HY[protected] NO AND ACCOUNT NO.[protected] FOR DEACTIVATION AND REFUND. I have applied for a new connection in the name of Kailash Agawaral and paid 6500/- cash to airtel customer executive for new connection. As the connection was delayed we have requested to cancel and refund the money. The airtel executive said the refund will be processed within 15 days and to wait. I was wondered how they will return my money when executive has not taken any bank information for return request neither he has filled any form. After waiting for 15 days i have called customer care and they said to mail to appellate.[protected]@in.airtel.com which is south India grievance department. Unbelievable response from them stating refund has already initiated to some account and we are closing the case. I have check with all my banks and there is no refund at all. And the bank details they shared also does not belong to me. I immediately replied to them and they request to share my bank details after 2 months of following the issue. After 2 month they replied that shared cancellation cheque has no name printed they want bank statement. I immediately submitted to them. After no response for 15 days i again mailed them and got the same reply that refund already done in some other account and they cannot help. I request consumer team to help me. Its already being 4 months and the same story continue. Airtel has cheated me by transfering money in there personal account .. Not expected such things from airtel like company Please request ti help us in this case

Hi Myself jithin dev.I took an airtel postpaid connection on aug 2015 and on that entire month i got service only for 4 days .Reason they told is background verification got failed.But the address i shared was correct and it was fault from there side. But i got a bill at the month end asking to pay entire month rent.i would have pay entire rent if got the service correctly.my airtel no is [protected]

I called Airtel twice, because of the network issues that i was facing with Airtel. the first time i called them, they arranged a call back for me. I never got any call back from them. I called them again and asked to speak to someone in the cancellations department because i was not happy with the services as they did not keep the promise that made of calling me back. Someone again arranged a call back and said this time within 4 hours you will receive a call back from someone . Its been more than 3 days now, no call back received. Not happy, would not call them now. will rather write about them on Facebook and Twitter.

I have taken the above connection at salem on 18/09/2015 . Only the wifi was activated as the landline instrument was not brought by the executive gowtham at around 7.30pm. When asked he replied that the sales executive rajsekar will bring and deliver the next day. I tried calling rajsekar mobile no: [protected] for more than 10 times on 19/09/15, but he did not answer my calls nor the instrument delivered.

Again today 21/09/15 morning i started calling sales man rajsekar, he answered my 3rd call and informed that he is on his way to my place at around12.00pm . Finally in the evening at around 6.00pm another sales executive delivered the instrument.

After installing the landline instrument, the other sales executive left but within a few minutes there is no network connection and the landline also dead.

I called the sales executive rajsekar and informed him about the problem, rajsekar airtel company sales executive spoke very rudely with me, when i told that i am going to complaint against him, i was shocked to hear him telling to go ahead and complaint wherever you want i am least bothered as the company airtel don t respond to any complaints nor take any action.

So this is the way airtel appoint their executives and train them to talk rudely, to be irresponsible and dont give after sales service to the customers.

Very good airtel keep up the spirit of such rude executives.

First thing in the morning i am going to your sales office in salem and surrendering the above non working connection.

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
