Airtel Complaints & Reviews

My bill amt is 1097. Usually when my net usage crosses the limit, the data gets disconnected automatically.But this month it was not disconnected and it was niether intimated. So I will not pay this amount.I called the customer care but no response.Am very sure I will pay this amount.

Hello, Please let me know what legal action can be taken on Airtel Customer care officer regarding this issue ? Today I called Airtel broadband customer care regarding the issue that my complaint is closed by their end without even resolving it. Then she started giving some excuse that my complaint is closed by their technical team and all, then I said its none of my business who closed my complaint I want my complaint to be opened again. She refused to do so and used a slang word against me and acted like my voice is not coming to her and disconnected the call. So please let me know what legal action can be taken against her for using slang language and Airtel for closing my complaint without even resolving it and without informing me ???

Then how it's possible that they give me such a Bill.. Generally I never use the services other than SMS, calling (only local calls), INTERNET ( what's app(only texts) (I've another simcard which I use generally for big use of Internet... Idea...no... [protected]...), PayTm...(I never think that paytm can bring my bill till 3000 rs.) 9apps ... No too much downloads ) For only for this purpose Airtel has forwarded me the Bill of rs. 3071.79 Even the usages are till same as previous month periods... The same thing was happened for the second Bill of my no. The amount shown to me by UNB was rs. 2700 in the middle of the month period... But gets reduced day by day... And finally I got the bill of rs. 855(250+605) 250/was my activation charge which I was not paid at the time of purchase... I've talked with customer care executive and contacted with appellate (Varun Sainy) through e-mail... But they are not listening me and providing me the same Bill by giving reason that I've used internet and charges are valid... If my uses are same as previous use then how can disserve such a excessive Bill... And I always use the text facility to check my usages... UNB--- to check existing amount Data use.. To check data use Then how can I let it go to cross limits... When I last check my data usage it was 489 mb ... My free data for every month is 500 mb... I have that msg...till date...

I have recently upgraded to the 4G plan and also bought there 4G dongle but i am not getting 4G. i have called there customer service now numerous times and they connecting to a new number which they disconnect by saying that the lines are busy soon after someone speaks. i have today alone called them 13 times. please help in getting justice...

SIR/MAM, In my Airtel postpaid connection ([protected]) I noted that there is an very huge increase in the bill value irrespective of my usage as mostly am confined with my mobile usage. So I started tracking my mobile data usage as most of the billing increase was on that. I even sent them the snapshots but there reply was its all processed automatic so no chance of mistake. So I paid all the bills even without using the services but for the last month when I checked my unbilled amount I noted a strange thing that my unbilled amount first increased and then the next day it got decreased from the previous value . How is it possible, unbilled amount can always increase as we use the service daily or remains stationary when not used. So this is a major defect in their system. Due to thus reason only there was always a major increase in my bill amount for every month. And I even complained about it to the concerned department for every single month. So they did some waver in beginning and told that they will look into the issue. But now when I enquire they just say tat your connection is disconnected and the bill amount is valid. But they never provide any answer about my query and about the snapshots which I have sent them. This is an major forgery against consumers I want this to be answered by them, many times I paid for the services which I haven't used. But this time I want justice. I have been complaining about this from very long you can get the entire complain history from the customer care executive for the number [protected] Please do the needful, attaching the snapshots and I got all the mails and reply's from the concerned department. There is a major flaw in their system with which they are making their customers a fool. Regards Vignesh

I have had a lot of problems with Airtel.. Sometimes it doesn''t work and sometimes the speed is too slow they promise about 2mbps but I get nearly 1.5mbps.. Recently I spoke to them and they were like there might be problem in the modern so they decided to change it and they were supposed to sent their executive and get it replaced but he yet didn''t come..I''m paying for service but I''m not getting it in return.. Landline number:[protected] Reference number: 60071914 I would like you to look into the matter and get it done soon.

Account no: [protected] Landline no: [protected] I have brought this connection last year, where i had asked for 16 mbps plan. According to the customer support that I talked to, airtel executive came to my house and installed the airtel broadband connection. At that time, I was promised that currently due to either hardware or server issue I can not be given 16 mbps line. I had settled for 8 mbps connection, as the airtel executive ( Mr. parthiban - area Bilekahalli/ JP nagar phase 3) promised me that within 2-3 months I'll get the 16mbps line. Its been more than a year now that i have taken connection still the speed has not been upgraded to 16 mbps and i still have to use 8mbps speed and pay for 16mbps, (I am having 1399 plan which is actually for 16mbps speed but I am getting only 8 mbps speed.) This is unacceptable. Please take the necessary action. My whole apartment is facing the same issue from the airtel side. They are not willing to take any action and its been more than a year now. I request you take strict action against airtel for this rampant extortion of money by claiming false net speeds and makeing false promises Area: Bilekahalli/ jp nagar 3rd phase, bannerghatta road, bangalore, 560076

Dear Sir, I have taken Airtel 4G connection on 29 th August. It was found that there is no 4G coverage in our area. I have lodged a complaint with Airtel. They could not provide 4G with hotspot . Then they tell me to take OD/ ID unit. after which I was getiing network. It took around three weeks but they make me to pay for 4G for that period. Now again since last few days tthere is no internet access and after complaint I have been told that due to system proble it will take 4/5 days to resolve the problem. I have surredered my broad band due to airtel connection and now I am totally cut off from internet. Airtel customer care person is very rude to say 4 days is as per our SLA. Isn't Airtel cheating people by giving challenging adds? My contact number is [protected], Sunil Gaoli Email address: [protected]@gmail.com

Dear Sir I have two Airtel postpaid mobile connections. I waned to cancel one. I was trying to deactivate the connection on line. But there is no easily accessible link for Deactivation. Finally when I want to Airtel shoppee/customer service center I was given an email id and was told to send a mail to this email id retail.[protected]@kaycomm.in I verified this email id also by calling customer service no 121. I have sent mail to this email id on 22nd September 2014. The content of the mail is as follows ''This is to request you to close down and permanently disable my mobile no [protected]. Please note that I will not be paying any bills for this number from this date on wards ' On the same day I paid the entire amount of the bill Rs 3000/0 so that no dues will remain. Despite of that my account is not yet deactivated.

To Airtel Services,

With deep dissatisfaction, I would like to lodge a complaint against the Airtel
Postpaid mobile Services. I own a connection and for checking 3G internet with SMS i.e(DATA USE to 121) its giving same message for last15-17 days that my current data uses is only 95.31 MB is used from 3.87 GB, which i know its wrong because in cell phone its showing more and my connection is my family plan which is having 2 numbers with it so for counting correct use I have to depend on SMS.

Here are my grievances towards the process:

I requested this thing to customer care on 121 on 02 Oct 2015 and a lady answered from Customer care, I asked the current uses she given me same information that its 95.31 MB and when I told her that is not correct and the whole scenario she replied me that is problem coming from last 10-15 days and our back end is working on it, so I asked the lady then why she first told me that uses is 95.31 Mb instead of that she can give me correct information that there is a issue with every person so it will take time, but instead of that she start giving me rebuttals and getting rude and raising her voice and then asked her to launch the complain she taken the request with reference ID: 65325593, F[protected] and she told me that back end team will get back to you in next 24 hours .

Next day i did’t got a call but got a email and SMS that my issue is resolved,
I was shocked that what the hack it is without my confirmation how you can close the complain???
Let me paste the copy of email here :-

Dear Narendra Meena,

Greetings from airtel!

This is in reference to your email enquiring on incorrect data usage on your airtel mobile number 9xxxxx3.

I have verified your account and noted that you are having 3.87GB 3G data free there after speed reduced to 20 Kbps. The same is a unlimited data plan. As I have noted that you have consumed 95.31 in the total benefit of 3962.88 MB.

To track data usage on your airtel mobile, all you need to do is SMS DATA USE to 121. Alternatively, you may dial *121*114#.

Install the latest update of airtel app on your mobile. The latest version of airtel app allows you to check your data usage, set alerts, view unbilled usage and outstanding bill amount.

You can download the myairtel application by any one of the following means:
a. Visit m.airtel.in/myairtel or airtel.in/myairtel
b. Visit google play & search for airtel app & download the app.
c. SMS MYAIRTEL to 54321.

For further queries, please email. I will be delighted to assist you.

After reading this email i was thinking that service specialist its a robot or a person??? Then i called customer care 121 again on 03rd Oct 15, a man taken the call and said me that we have to close the request in 24 hours so the team has closed the request and they called you on your number and alternate number but they were Off, i told them that it’s a complain and without the confirmation of customer how you can close it with this type of reason then he said he is taking the complain again for this and back end team will check it and call me in next 2 working days (complain id:[protected], i was not satisfied with this so i went to Airtel store which is at Mangalam fun square, durga nursary road Udaipur, there i explained all this thing to the CRO and told him to make a preferred complain for this and also take action against the person who wasted my time on 121, also asked him to make change to my plan to 999 from 799 and also to reset the Data pack and free minutes pack with changing the secondary number to yearly (199 or 200) but instead of helping me out they given a very good reason that there Ultra net is not working and they can’t help and they told me to go to another Airtel Express store which is at sector 6 main road udaipur and there was a lady who was very rude and unkind without listing my proper issue asked me to go and get a photo copy for identity card, i asked her is that Airtel store people can’t give a photocopy service to customer ??? she rudely reply No go and get the photocopy by your self, and when i came back instead of listing me she asked me to write the phone number and all problem on that photo copy (to make change to my plan to 999 from 799 and also to reset the Data pack and free minutes pack with changing the secondary number to yearly (199 or 200) and then there team will process it in next 4 hours. I asked her that they can do it now, but she refused to do it. And now on 04rth Oct after getting all frustration still no action was taken for my request,

This is weird and I want to settle this as soon as possible. I am highly dissatisfied with Airtel

Please look into the matter

Landline no - [protected] Complaint no[protected] Problem - broad band connection not working since 26th september 2015. Complaint registered on 29th september 2015. Each time the helpline is called automatic voice says problem will be resolved by 30th september. this message is heard today also -3rd october 2015. Who is answerable to this inefficency, callousness and inconvenience to us? The ridiculousness of their reply cannot be matched. It is disgusting the way customers are cheated.

Dear Sir, I have been cheated to the core by Airtel who has taken me for a ride. Even after escalating to Nodal Officer and Appellate authority there is not action. This is absolutely tyranny on their part. The details of my complaint are in the body of my email attached below this cover letter. I urge my fellow consumers not to port to airtel as they take customers for a ride and have no humane consideration whatsoever for the consumer. Request you to please help resolve and take action Warm Regards Vipin Menon [protected] Subject: Re: Regarding cheating and breach of trust by Airtel and Airtel DSA for mobile no.

[protected] Hi Team Airtel, This is to bring to your attention that I just ported my number : [protected] from Idea to Airtel. At the beginning of my portability, I was approached by an Airtel DSA (Touch point Tele Services Pvt Ltd Banglore) through a mobile number [protected] and email id postpaid.[protected]@gmail.com. I was first provided myplan options which I said I am not at all interested. Then the lady executive of the DSA told me that in Rs 599 plan I would be getting 1640 minutes of local + std (1440 would be the free base minutes + 200 complimentary minutes as a part of MNP offer) and 500 minutes of 4g data and 300 local + national sms free to which I agreed to port to Airtel. Today when I finally got to ported to Airtel, to my utmost horror, I found out that I was ported to a 599 myplan family pack and not the original plan which was promised to me. Even if I optimally tailor and combine the packs, I would not get the total number of minutes + data+ sms promised to me hence this is not at all agreeable to me. I even contacted your customer care instantly and spoke to an executive Sunil but I have not at all been offered any favourable resolution on this and hence I am left with not other option but to address this email. This is a huge cheating by Airtel to bring customers to their network. I feel extremely betrayed and harassed by Airtel. You can access the CDR of the entire conversation through my past operator IDEA to assess the authenticity of my claim. I want this situation to be resolved at all costs and the promised plan made available to me as I have trusted Airtel and ported to your network. This is highly unprofessional and unbecoming of a reputed brand like you. I would also want you to take strict action against the said DSA for cheating and betraying by adhering to unprofessional tactics. I would like to caution Airtel that in the unfortunate case of this not being resolved favourably by you I would have to resort to legal remedies as this clearly tantamount to cheating, harassment and breach of trust. Thanking you in anticipation of a positive resolution of my grievance. Warm Regards Vipin Menon Bangalore [protected]
