Hi,
I moved to Pune from Delhi and opted for AirTel 4g wireless internet connection on[protected]. I work on freelance basis I have to attend lot of meetings with Clients in US over Skype. The guy who gave me sim said it will be activated by evening around 8:0 P.M. Same day evening I received message that due to some problem with document my connection was rejected. So next day I submitted another documents and this time they said the documents are okay but there is some issue with their server and my documents couldn't be processed. When I called customer care [protected], the customer care representative said my details are not sent by the retailer to them and they cannot do any thing. I have been calling the guy who gave me the connection (Anil-[protected]) 10-11 times a day and every time he gives lame excuses that server is down, will be done by afternoon, evening, in five minutes, some time doesn't pick up the phone. But the fact of the matter is even after 4 days of purchasing the devices I'm yet to use it. I have traveled to different friends house to do my work.
This leaves me to two options
1. Either terminate the connection immediately
2.wait till evening for activation failing which we will be forced to terminate the connection and loose all faith in Airtel customer care.

As I cannot work without the internet. I want Airtel to take prompt action and solve the issue.

Hi, This complaint is regarding my old no. i.e. [protected]. So the story is, I was using this no. since November and was paying all the bills on time, not even a single time delay. I had to go on roaming in month of March. Since I was using Airtel's My Plan, I asked the customer care executive to change my packs to roaming packs and he confirmed also. After a month I got a bill of 4K which after enquiry I got to know that it was due to Roaming Charges and my plan was not changed to roaming plan. It was no where my fault and then also I asked to settle the bill at 50% payment but refused by your customer care executive. SO, AFTER THAT I HAVE CLOSED THAT NUMBER. Now my father and friends are being contacted by some lady of your office and she is literally harassing them. She is abusing my father and asking them to tell me to clear my bills. She is calling my friends and shouting on them. They are getting the calls from various no, majorly [protected], [protected]. IS THIS THE ETHICAL WAY TO DEAL WITH YOUR CUSTOMER ?? HOW YOU GUYS DARE TO ABUSE MY PARENTS AND FRIENDS ? IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH ME, JUST FILE A CASE AGAINST ME AND MEET ME IN COURT. IF YOU WANT TO TALK, CALL ME ON [protected]. BUT STOP HARASSING MY PARENTS AND FRIENDS. OTHERWISE I WILL HAVE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTIONS AGAINST YOU PEOPLE.

Airtel Presence, I had made a complaint to Airtel 121 on Sunday, 19th July, 15’ at 3:36 PM, regarding frequent call drops at my residence. I am facing this issue since past 2 months past on 3G network itself. Earlier this issue was not present. My concern is the frequent call drops during my office telecons/meetings, gives a very bad impression. I asked for a solution on this but I got a below update. Update from Airtel on Monday 20th July, 15’ at 9:56AM "Update: Reference no. 63342741 regarding 3G Coverage: There is no site currently planned for the mentioned area. We have noted your feedback and shall update you on development in the near future. If you are not satisfied with the resolution, contact Appellate. For details, visit Contact Us page at www.airtel.in." Is that Airtel’s professionalism is so quick to close a complaint made on Sunday, 19 without a resolution within a day without surveying the area? No attempts have been made by Airtel to survey the area for signal strength, no call from the technical department. Is that the Airtel have settled down with a huge customer base that they ignore the customers complaints in such unprofessional way?

My connection of number [protected] is lost since 17/07/2015 and complained to their customer care number of times.Everytime they are telling the issue will get resolved after few hours but there is no answer.Even I mailed them to their mail id [protected]@in.airtel.com but there is no response frm them. Please look over the problem Thanks

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
