Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I raised request for mobile number portability on your website. After that I received a call from your executive asking for the documents and a fee of Rs 250/- for the service and said which would be adjusted in bill with in 3 months and gave me the receipt. It has been more than 15 days that no action has been taken. And when I called your customer care number and asked the reason, he just said there is no request raised for this number and to verify please visit the nearest airtel store. When I visited airtel store: 1. There was no request raised for my number. 2. Rs 250/- was also charged maliciously as there was no need to charge because i was porting from postpaid to postpaid. 3. The plan which was verified by your executive on cal of 399/- had never existed. This was not expected from Airtel. I have to say airtel is moving down on its ethics. Call drops, Airtel Zero which violates net neutrality, and this sort of experiences is certainly taking airtel down. I am forced to moved to Vodafone by such experience. Rahul Dahra +91 [protected]

I had purchased the airtel 4g usb modem in august 2015 and apart from the first month the performance has been very poor. the connection is never stable. sometimes it is too slow for any use at all and at its best speed is never anywhere near the speed that they promised. my phone with a 3g connection operates much faster than this. as of late i have noticed that their home screen itself shows the 2g symbol instead of 4g. After paying 2000 for the dongle n 750 per month post paid for 4 gb data i get absolutely nothing. the phone no of my connection is [protected]. please fix this.

Hi, Phn: [protected] Name: G Bhanu prakash Reddy. On Oct 7th, I had activated 256 3gb 3G data plan straight from *121# menu. I have got a confirmation message for the same. I am attaching the received message screenshot to this mail. The 3gb 3G data is credited to 2G balance . I have called to the customer care on Oct 7th when I found out data is wrongly credited to 2g balance. On this complaint I spent about 60 mins waiting and taking to your executives, which costed me 20 rupees in these 2 days. It was such a mental torture which i have experienced from your executives having no point of contact instead escalating to higher executive. Customer Care executives provided NO help since 2 days. I was tired of waiting on call, putting me on hold to transfer call to their higher executive. I have talked to higher executives for 4 times and no solution is provided. I had asked to register a complaint 2 days back but the complaint was actually registered on Oct 9th. One of your executives, argued with me that i recharged 2g pack and calling customer care for 3g balance. She cross checked with the 121 menu and confirmed that i recharged 3g pack. Such a customer support is what you are providing. Please look into the issue and credit the 3gb data to 3G balance immidiately. Regards, Bhanu

I recharge my account (data and talk time) through net banking and I receive confirmation from Airtel on the same (via message) but recharged currency and data didn't get credited to account. When I checked with Airtel customer care, instead of verifying and resolving the issue they said we are not supposed to use net banking to recharge and they are not responsible for it. According to them, we need to recharge only through the link they keep sending to our inbox alerting/advertising data and talk time plans. This has not been mentioned any where in there website or any where. When I questioned about this, they were rude and said they cant put it on website and next time I should remember not to recharge through net banking. I asked the name of the customer care representative and his manager, the person said he himself a manager. Karthik M. Employee ID 124889, Mysore city. I am not sure whether this is accurate information or not. I recently moved to India from US and service here is terrible. I regret taking Airtel sim card.

Dear officer, I am Ashok Kumar Reddy Kambham, permanent resident of Andhra Pradesh and currently staying in Bangalore. I was using the above mentioned number i.e., [protected] from last 4 years with Airtel service provider. After using first two years as a prepaid customer, I converted it as postpaid connection. While converting the connection, they said that I don't have eligibility to get post paid connection and they asked to produce any of family members documents. So I produced my cousin, Mr. Manoj Kumar Reddy Kambham, who is working from IBM India pvt limited from then to till date. They converted me as a post paid customer. Two years went well. In this year May month I shifted to Bangalore, (Karnataka) from Hyderabad. They sent me a mail in the month of June that my outstanding Airtel bill is Rs. 8990/-, which made me surprise. I had some discussion with few of their employees in this regard, they refused to revise it and they stopped service on this number as well in some days. So I decided to proceed legally. Mean while, "Professional Associates, Hyderabad" (franchise of Airtel) contacted me twice and i replied that i want to proceed legally, but they started calling to my friends and relatives by opening my call log and they spoke to them like I produced fake documents to get connection. So, I called them back and I said to them like I wanna settle my bill if they activate my number. They agreed for Rs.6, 000/- to settle my bill. I asked them to write a mail to me by mentioning the amount and about reconnection in the mail. They did too and on the same day I paid my bill as well. Though, they didn't activated my number and even not responding properly. Officer, please kindly help me in this issue.

This prick came to my place took cash from me and my docs and asked me to watsapp the agreement pics on his cell. I did that too. Since then he stopped answering my phone call since he promised me to get the connection done by next day. I kept calling him like anything but he hardly bothered by answring once or twice and said airtel has server issues so cant process my docs at noida, nxt day i called him again the same story repated and gave number of his senior dont rembr his name ([protected]), , and when i called this guy the other guy manoj was on conference and they tried to fool me again neways another diaster and mental stress for me, now today i was hoping to get this thing sorted but again the same story repeated manoj made this guy named arun ([protected]) again from airtel called me and said that they are not getting any dial tone in their some airtel box at my office building.. I am frustrated / irritated / screwed mentally by airtel and their staff .. I am so stucked where i cannot even order another connection from someone els cuz i rejected them over this airtel and feel embrassed to call them again... This has been a terrible experience with airtel and you guys are flaunting yor 4 g ... First get your staff corrected.

If you are facing tech issue then why would i suffer the pain of extra billl.

My mobile number is [protected] and rs 338 was deducted from main balance as a charge of internet browsing on 5th oct 2015 at 16:15 instead of balance deduction from netpack balance. From that day, customer care always telling the refund of balance within 24 hrs and even within 4 hrs, but all complaints were closed without any resolution. It's like begging your own money from company. Is there any solution or only port out?

This is regarding verification and activation of my mobile number which I have ported from BSNL to Airtel . The SIM has already been ported to Airtel and is having signal but no outgoing and incoming call/message are allowed on the number. I discussed the issue with airtel customer support for which they suggested to 59059 for number verification, I as per their tried the same but in vain. I again contacted airtel customer care with the issue via mail / teletalks for which my alternate airtel contact number details were asked by them which I provided to them with no waste of time. On getting the details they assured me to activate calls on number on or before 06/10/2015 but on promised date they asked for another 2 days. Now the two days has also passed and it is about 3 weeks I am waiting for my number to get activated.this number is of great use to me each of my known is aware of this number and important information used to receive on this number due to which I am facing lot of problems. I am also asking airtel to give me portal code to switch to another subscriber if it is not possible to resolve my issue but still no prolific response received yet. It is therefore kindly requested to intervene in this matter immediately for the resolution of the issue at the earliest.
