Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir, I am doctor from AIIMS, New Delhi. I was an Airtel customer (postpaid-[protected]) for last 3 years.I was staying in 11/158 Malviya Nagar. on march 1st week 2015, we shifted to another house in Malviya Nagar at B137, Malviya Nagar. But in this new house there was almost no network in my airtel connection.For that I complained to the Airtel customer care team over telephone. They have accepted that there is some tower problem.They will repair it within two weeks. But neither corrected nor informed after 1 month when I called, they told we don't know when it will be rectified. So I forced to quit Airtel on 1st week of April 2015.I paid last month bill plus some extra to compensate the ongoing month bill. Now on and off almost after 3 months airtel customer care people are bothering me and my wife to pay some outstanding balance for the month of April. Point is very simple, if somebody is unable to use his phone for more than a month due to network problem and he is changing the network provider, then why should he pay for something which he has not sed at all. So I am not going to pay any thing ...which rather hampered my day to day activity (being a doctor from AIIMS...many patient calls me even if I am at home).

I would like to bring my experience regarding online recharge of my data plan, initiated today 20th Aug 2015. Just a while ago, I was in process of attempting the recharge of my data plan using airtel online website. After completing data entry and various selections in airtel website and internet banking website, an error message got displayed by the payment gateway. Subsequently, I tried to recharge on 3 different occasions using internet banking and once using my debit card. All the 4 attempts displayed the same error highlighting the transaction failure. Surprisingly, my bank account got debited on all the 4 occasions even when the error highlights that the “payment has been declined by the bank”. I am bit surprised as to 1. how the bank account can get debited when the transaction didn’t go through and 2. the credentials of your payment gateway (citruspay) Further it is a bit too harsh for letting the customer wait for 7 days towards refund for a recharge which didn’t take place. I had a similar experience last month during an earlier recharge process. I wanted to bring this to your kind attention for immediate resolution. Suggest that this grievance be handled on a priority basis, now that RBI has approved Bharti Airtel as a payment bank. Regards

I have taken the 4G airtel connection for my office use at home seeing the advertisements in the television. Connection was provided to me immediately however the required speed quoted in my plan is 20 Mbps however the internet connection speed is 2 Mbps. I called Airtel customer care many times however the required resolution is not provided to me in a speedy way. Time and again I reminded them that I am using the connection for official and to be resolved ASAP. They informed that it will take 90 days to resolve the issue. This is effecting my work very badly. The informations which are provided by airtel in television is misleading and services provided by the company is not good. My Job is at risk, as I am not able to access the required web sites and down load and upload the documents in the required time frame. I request you to take appropriate action regarding the company not giving the right information at first place. Kind Regards, Merin [protected]

Hi Airtel Team, I had a data balance of around 750MB for my airtel no [protected] till 19th August. 19th August was the last date of the data pack validity. I tried online recharge for the data pack on 18th August and it failed. Today I tried the recharge ( after validity period) then the recharge was successful. But I did not get the balance 750mb carried forward. I have tried to recharge before due date and it failed. So I request Airtel to please carry forward the data of around 750MB (which is huge) .

I would like to inform you that I had recharged my mobile no-[protected] with Rs.153/-as a data pack with 500 MB valid for 21 days on 15/08/2015, but an additional 500 MB will be added later and also the validity will extend from 21 days to 28 days.But on 18/08/2015, I found that my main balance has gone down to Rs 4/- from 180/-.I called up the customer care executive but unfortunately I have not received any positive reply from their end. My question here arises that I have not received another 500MB.How is it possible to believe that I have used 1 GB with in two and a half working days. So my earnest request is to please provide my extra 500MB or my initial main A/C balance, from your end. Hoping for a positive response . Regards, Payal Sanyal(Naskar)

Today i activated a SMS plane from na Airtel main balence, they charged money for plan but sms cost still deducing from main balence so again i purchased and same thing happened again, please fix this asap and return back money to my main balance acc. My Airtel phone no is [protected]

This is an ongoing issue with my Airtel prepaid mobile. I have been an Airtel customer for the last 7 years. The only reason I believed the company is because of the their service. since last three years, I am in Kolkata and Kharagpur which falls under west bengal and kolkata Mobile Circle, I have been literally harassed by the company. I have been using Airtel's 3G data service which has gone pathetically worst and more importantly, Airtel now doesnt even bother to log a complain and put any effort to resolve the issue. I thought of doing mobile number porting however it is so easy in india to literally loot the customer and not accountable for the fault by the such organizations. This is my last effort which probably might ring some bell to their ears. After this, before I leave Airtel, I will certainly take this issue to the court.

Airtel Digital TV subscriber number: [protected] As per Airtel Digital TV web site http://www.airtel.in/hdchannels/, Hollywood HD package contains 5 channels including Star Movies Select HD channel, which is disconnected from my service from 17th August. When I complained to customer service, I am asked to pay an additional Rs.51 every month whereas I have already subscribed to Hollywood HD that includes Star Movies Select HD channel. Please enable the channel immediately without additional charges as I am subscribed to Hollywood HD package already.

18.08.2015 sir I have a connection of digital tv vide customer ID No. [protected] installed at my premises. My registered Mobile No. is [protected]. I am drawing your attention regarding a complaint made by me for dropping signals 10 to 15 days ago. Your engineer visited my premises and told us that LMV is not working properly and he rectified the problem. Within few days namely after 2-3 days the same problem occurred again (namely no signal). I have complained about this and the engineer who visited my premises told me that your STB is not working properly and it needs to be replaced, and I had replaced the STB by paying another 200 to him. Now the same problem occurred and once again I had complained about this vide complaint No. 46183366. An engineer came again and asked us that the Dish should be relocated and I have to pay 400 for relocation of DISH. He had told me that 250 is relocation charges, 100 for joint connector (while I have enquired with your customer care the joint connector cost is 25). Now my grievance is, why I should pay again and again for the same fault i.e. no signal. Is not the duty of the engineer to check properly everything relating the same issue namely no signal. Why I should force to pay almost 1000/- (350+200+400). Should it not be the responsibility of service provider to provide break free signals with all its equipments (DISH+LMV+STB etc) to my TV. Kindly do the needful in this regard and if it is not possible, kindly arrange to take back your STB immediately. I have an offer from DISH TV service provider, I am ready to pay them. They are providing lifetime warrantee on STB. Secondly, your engineer have no courtesy to listen my grievance patiently. They always is in a hurry. I am talking to him and he is asking “tell me YES OR NO” whether I am ready to pay 400 for relocation or not? Hope anyone will understand my problem and take immediate steps. Thirdly I have received a message from your side that the problem has been resolved though it was not.

Hi Team, I bought new Airtel 4g sim [protected] at Airtel showroom Ascendas tech park csir road Tharamani chennai on 10 August 2015 paying rs 350 for 1 gb data and 150 rs talk time. The executive over there told me that the sim ll be activated by next day eve. But it got activated by 13th August to get activated. Later after activation I inserted the SIM card in my Apple iPad. The Internet was not connecting in that error saying "Data is not subscribed Internet couldn't connect" when I was at particular area near Pazhavanthangal railway station. After that I took the iPad to Nanganallur/ ascendas tech park, Internet is connecting fine. I raised a complaint on 14th August 15 regarding the connectivity of Internet of the above issue with reference number Rprov[protected] also the executive told me that the issue ll be cleared by 72 hours (I.e by Sunday 16th August). I called again help line on Sunday he told the issue ll be cleared by Tuesday eve 18th August 15. Also he didn't give a reference number for the same. Again by Tuesday eve at 9.30 pm I called helpline regarding the above issue, mr Gowtham executive told me that the issue raised by me on Friday got closed, the frustrated part is they have closed the issue due I didn't pick the call on [protected] number which I m using in iPad which couldn't receive calls also even after informing them to call my alternate number that is [protected]. Also for this talk he told me he ll be connecting my call to senior officials and after a min he told that senior officials are busy attending other calls so they ll be giving a call back by 1 hour atleast by 11pm max. Also he gave me a new reference number[protected]. He assured me that I ll get a call back by 11pm regarding the same issue. But it's been Wednesday 19th August 2015 morning but still issue remains the same. The core purpose of buying a new SIM card of Airtel services is not satisfied. Again I called the helpline by 2 Pm on 19th August 2015, Executive over there told me that the issue has been closed which was raised on friday, I was so frustrated after hearing this so i asked to transfer the call to higher official. Then Higher Official Selva Rani Picked up the call and told me that Issue is open still and was not closed which was raised on friday. These Airtel ppl are always giving false status to everyone and she assured that i ll get a call by eve 7 Pm max on 19th august. So I am waiting for it. But I have no belief that they ll call me back and resolve my issue. I am so frustrated by this Airtel SIM services, worst customer service I ever saw, creating new reference number on every call made to helpline and no updates given on previous reference ids. No follow-ups done on issues created. The core purpose of buying airtel services is not done. So please help me in refund of the 350 rs which I have paid at time of buying this SIM card.

Hi there, I applied for new broadband connection in Chennai on Aug 11, 2015, after making sure that their port is available in my area, Thirugnanasambandhar Street, Ramnagar, Madipakkam then the other day I have submitted the documents and Rs.1000 for the connection then I got the TNPC number is TNPC 281970. Since it was urgent for me, I insisted for a connection at the earliest and the person in-charge promised that I would get a connection in 3 days max. After 3 days there was no communication from the Airtel executive and the his number is [protected]. I was waited till Aug 17, 2015 for the connection but I didn't get it any updates from him and moreover he is not responding for my calls. I've made a call to[protected] then they I've taken the complaint and they told me that I'll get a call from Airtel within 24 hours but I didn't get any call from them this is so ridiculous. 1) It is very irresponsible on their part not to take an initiative and call me and say that there is a problem and the connection may be delayed. Had I not visited their center, they would have never called me to update the status. 3) When a customer comes in asking for a service, they should maintain a service request. In this issue, i have been called him for more than forty times and they not at all responding to me. From their view, I am just customer. For me, the internet connection was most important to save my job.
