Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Airtel activated this nonsense service called "follow celebrities" on my phone for Rs 90 / month on my phone number from nowhere. When i called the customer care, they told me i had clicked on an advertisement during browsing the internet and it got activated, to which i replied i never did that, then customer care was very happy speaking about how i must have mistakenly clicked on such advertisement which people generally do during browsing.
they say, no refund provided.
This happened on 20th july 2015

Got prepaid recharge of AIRTEL amounting Rs.200 on 8th July. Today we found that there is no balance. I checked the usages and found that I used approx. 36 minutes and right now on 19th it showing nil balance. How they deducted it not understandable . This is the easiest way to create wealth these service provider.

From last 3 to 4 days, i have been experiencing the worst service. I was not able to hear others properly and had to be silent for every 20secs. I was irritated. This is not the issue with my phone or my SIM cause, I have another mobile with another airtel SIM, and the same kind of experience with it even. Situation remains same whether I am in home or in office, so can't blame place even. So called Airtel Customer Care service, and a female executive attended the call.. to be frank, I never expected such kind of response from any executive. She was literally Yelling. Is this the way you treat your customers? She asked to change my network settings to Automatic mode, in which my mobile is already. Not even a useful thing... Surprisingly, she is asking me "is this the same condition of your colony airtel customers? " - What kind of question it is.. do I need to take survey on behalf you? Have some communication classes to your team before dealing with customers, else you will be at the edge of losing your customers. I'm in Gachibowli, Hyderbad - I would like to know what is the issue for this kind of bad experiences i.e., not able to hear/convey the messages through airtel SIM. I was using my friends phone, if this still persists I need to change the network for both of my SIMs

Dear sir, On 19/07/15 my internet mb 600 deducted.your customer care people is not behavior, i[censored] would not resume my mb, I will go in consumer court as well as civil court for misbihave. Niraj Kumar

Airtel Service provider has no option/Facility to block the internet packages/games etc .Even if you use internet in cyber cafe they charge maximum Rs 15 /per hour in the above one hour you can down load /play internet game they don't charge extra amount beyond Rs 15/per hour but to get commission from the javagames Airtel charging Rs 49.00 to Rs 50.00 per even 1 second. Which indicating Airtel blackmailing to its existing customer. Even if we requested to the costumer care officer to block the value added services like games/internet/download etc, They told me that, they don't have such facility in the software they use. After then I request Costumer care Executive to allow only incoming and out going call & SMS Facility to my SIM only . He said they don't have such provision. Why Airtel costumer should automatic take all facility available by the service provider. Hence Service provider is here by Requested to Revert/Deduct my Bill amount 283.00 which you charged to me. As the above Value Added services provided by Airtel was worthless for me. Please check the attachment file (from time 9.32 am to 10.23 am on 05-july 2015 -which for you charge -Rs. 283.00) And here after don't allow me to access internet, games, down loads. I will use my Airtel mobile for incoming, out going Call & SMS no extra service I required from you.

I had applied for a new broadband connection, and paid Rs.1000 online on 28th June 2015. Airtel representative called me and said there is no feasibility in your area and the amount will be refunded, however the amount has still not been refunded. On 12th July Airtel representative called me again and requested for my bank account details so that amount will be refunded, so I sent the same. But later I received a mail to provide a copy of cancelled cheque from your representative. Please note I did not provide any cheque, I paid the amount through online transaction so how can you expect me to provide a cheque. I have paid the amount through online, do you understand [ONLINE]. I HAVE NOT PROVIDED ANY CHEQUE. So please don't ask my for cancelled cheque. AND PLEASE HOW MANY MORE DAYS FOR THE REFUND? If i don't get my refund in another 2 days I am going to your Head Office in Bangalore and raise an official complaint against you. Its been almost a month, you are so happy to take the money from us and you take it so quickly and why can't you repay it as quickly as you took it! This is what AIRTEL company ethics are, so cheap and pathetic. DON'T EVER GO WITH AIRTEL BROADBAND GUYS, Go for BSNL, they are the most reliable network, for me lesson learnt well.

Hi BAL Team, My mobile number ([protected] - Karnataka Circle) is getting frequent call drops with the maximum call period not clocking beyond 90 mins, however, my amount is being deducted. I faced a horrible situation where I called my DTH service provider 10 times and had to repeat my problem to different DTH service representative and was unable to lodge my complaint finally. I think BSNL's service is better comparatively in terms of call drops. Further, following the unique initiative of BAL's CEO, I would also provide the location of frequent call drops. Also, I sincerely believe that the GoI and Telecom Dept should unveil consumer specific telecom reforms, where the subscriber would be compensated with a free call for every call drop. Such proposal was also discussed during DoT's meeting in Jun '15 and such initiative was put forward by a top 3 telecom service provider in India. Location:- Bengaluru, Karnataka Circle Near Kundalahalli Gate and BEML Layout. Regards

Dear sir, I am gold customer of airtel my 500 mb 3G data deducted in morning in this circle 20 days ago 3G is not doing well I show in morning my data is 1300mb but after 1hour this data is shown 800mb So please reambers my data as soon as possible

HI Concern, This is to inform you that my Number [protected], ported out from Vodafone 4 yrs back, Now a Days Getting regular call from Vodafone to back Port In back to them. I am also a DND Customer for a Long Time. Please do the needful to block such Calls

I have ported my airtel post paid mobile ( [protected]) from Maharashtra circle to Mumbai circle.. its successfully ported but while doing the tele verification, its could not be verified due to Vasai Road Airtel gallery mistake as they has punched my office address in system, however i have gave the document for my home only. Now Airtel 59059 department has deactivated my sim card thus sim is not taking the network. When i have contact to Vasai Road Airtel gallery, they are not responding properly and not telling the exact time when i will got the new sim or no number will activated. i am facing this problem from last 7 days. My alternate contact No is - [protected]

Airtel post paid plan 499 which has promised to deliver 3G internet, but the internet speed is more like 1 G and this very page took 8 houra to open and normal google page takes 15 mins to open. When i called customer care the executive was not qualified enough to explain the problem and instead she said go ahead and file a complaint. She didn't bother to answer my question but was putting everything on me, the service has been bery slow and it falls under the definition of harrasment, also the plan promises better network and provides nothing meaning the plans are deceptive and hence an offences under indian penal code. how can airtel bill my account when i dont use net because of bad service. I dont understand how i consume data. Airtel please try and understand your customer

From last 3 months I am using Airtel moble and internet data card. But I am facing lot of network problem during net surfing and during mobile talking also. I don't know what is the problem. Please visit to my area. My Address : Laxmi Venkateshwara Nilaya, #69, 4th floor, 9th main, 11th cross, ITI Layout, Mangammanpalya Bommanhalli, Bangalorem - 560068
