Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi All, I got my number ported to Airtel Karnataka on 26th of July. Ever since then my mobile internet is not working . I tried reaching out for help from the service provider, on 121, Airtel store and every possible point of contacts. However from anywhere and everywhere what I ever got was wastage of time, unreasonable turnaround time, fake reasons almost everything but the solution. And lastly when I approached the Airtel store in order to get a NOC so that I may get this number ported to some other service provider within 6 month of portability they even declined the same. So please let me know that what options am I left with as a consumer, # As per TRAI guidelines I can’t change my service provider in within 6 months of 1st portability # Airtel has not given me a solution in 8 day time frame.(And not even willing to give as per there “Tech. Service Executive”) # As per there misleading “Tech. Service Executive” am using the second SIM for the same number.(Had to buy new SIM ) # Also I am supposed to pay for the services which I have never used, just because is so called “Airtel’s My Plan”. Just let me know that if Airtel has got license as an telecom operator or license to harass and rob customers. AIRTEL GOES VERY WELL WITH “ANY PROBLEM, NO SOLUTION” !!A sad Consumer!! Aditya Kumar

I was using reliance postpaid services and i decided to port to airtel because there were network issues in my office when i was using reliance . It took 9 days for the porting to be done, post which my number got activated last Wednesday, but i was unable to receive calls and to send or receive messages . I am an executive level employee of an online agency and i have missed many important calls because of this . I tried enough to get my work done, but the people at airtel would only keep asking for an extra 24 hours every time i called them up . It has been 5 days and i've missed a lot of important calls . Now, along with my services resuming ASAP, i am looking for compensation and an apology mail from airtel post which i will close this case . I am reasdy to appear in court and my company legal department head will lead the case . Expecting a response ASAP.

A service box has been fixed by Airtel on main road in front of B3A/78-A, Janakpuri. New Delhi, which could be a cause of serious accident one day. Staff serving the area has repeatedly been advised to remove that, but to no avail. One day it might be hit by a vehicle. Please shift this immediately. S.K.

My airtel mobile no. [protected]
It was showing in my airtel app under 3g data best offer plan
Rs. 296=2gb + unlimited 2g data for 28 days best offer
But it is providing 2g data plan instead of 3g plan and customer care is not ready to listening the problem
Kindly do the needful & take necessary action against the provider.

Hi, I made this complaint about my Airtel Tv not giving sound 2 weeks ago. This is my mother's Airtel DTH connection. Its located in Margaon, Goa. Airtel TV .acct.no [protected] Registered email. [protected]@yahoo.co.in When I registered the Complaint, I received the following msg but there was nothing that was done. Your request has been acknowledged. Your reference no. is DT[protected]. We will get back to you in 2 hrs.Please provide this reference No. for any future correspondence related to this enquiry. This was almost 10 days ago. We still have no clue what is happening and we recharged the connection again today. When we go to the Airtel office, we are asked to call the call center. When we call the center, they give us only recharge options. I think we will approach the consumer forum to conclude the matter. Regards Amitabh Dasgupta On behalf of Mrs Toodie Caeiro (Aged 69yrs)

Hi, I've raised a service request with Airtel on May 19th to disconnect my broadband and outgoing landline connection and retain my Intercom facility with Rs.100 per month rental plan to contact other flats using Intercom in my apartment complex. From my existing Rs.1399 plan, they changed to Rs.549 plan without disconnecting my broadband. I've contacted them from that time till 2-3 days back at least 25-30 times and everytime I hear an apology from them and saying it will be done in 24 hours time. Recently, one of the member from retention dept said, send a mail to [protected]@in.airtel.com which even I've done. That lady called Hema called me back and said, it's been received by that team and they confirmed to her that my plan will be replaced with Rs.100 per month for Intercom facility. It's been at least 2 weeks, I called and asked her team members to ask her to contact me, no use. From May 19th, I'm following up with different departments in Airtel and only esupport team is having access to enable this particular plan from backend. I'm totally lost faith in Airtel even after I am a customer for long years without any problems till recently. Hope, they will look into this issue and close it fast.

Iam an user of airtel 4g dongle. Since I've had few queries regarding the connection and usage I've been trying to connect with the airtel customer care service. I've tried all the possible customer care numbers and haven't got any kind of response for the 4g connection. I've been trying this for a month and still not able to connect. At the time ofoconnection airtel hashas promised me to provide with 2services and have failed.

My AirTel 4g wifi router connection is out of internet for 4 days now. I registered complaint on 31st July 15 and they said to solve it only by 4th Aug 2015. Now considering already am out of internet for 4 days and further 2 more days until you solve it (hopefully). This means totally I would be out of internet @ home for 6 days. I had enabled smart bytes of 10 GB and paid 1000 INR more for that. I am left with few GBs which I cannot use because the internet is down. You will not pay back or credit the unused quota as well. I called up customer care twice and they said not to call me back until its resolved and we shall call back (the same day I called 1st and 2nd Aug 15) and not one called back at all. What kind of customer service is that to look a critical issue at your leisure.

On 28.07.2015, we made request to change Billing Plan to One family Plan of Airtel for mob nos., [protected], [protected], [protected] and [protected] at their Vikas Puri Office in New Delhi. It has not happened till date. The first telephone got changed to pre paid and later to post paid. However, on follow up we were informed that other phones could not be processed first due to end of the financial mid-year on 31.07.2015. On 1.08.2015, we were promised that it will happen within the day. However, our three phones with different members are out of service till date. We are totally appalled by this tardy service of Airtel to make a change in the much advertised One family Plan. Needless to add here that physical verification of our documents at our residence has been done on 29.07.2015. We hope some one from Airtel will take note of the situation and do the needful without further delay.

MY Airtel DTV ID.[protected]; RECHARGED WITH Rs.2145/- ON 29/7/2015 FOR 12 MONTHS. I unfortunately opted for AIRTEL Service for DTV on 3rd March 2015. Thereafter recharged for three months SOUTH VALUE SPORTS PACK in April first week 2015. Again I tried to get recharge on line. AIRTEL provided Cust Care number for 101 services and so each hapless consumer has to waste a lot of time for getting ultimately nothing out of the call. So after wasting more than half a day, I chose to get recharge through PAYTM.COM. So, paid 2145/- for SOUTH SUPER MAX TELUGU. Exactly 24 hours after recharge, Airtel send SMS stating that "Request for activating airtel digital TV long duration pack could not be processed as existing pack is different from the pack recharge done. Please call[protected] /[protected]" This is the kind of service Airtel offers. Instead of solving, suggesting steps, making customer hang on to AIRTEL UNENDING REDRESSAL SYSTEM for days and weeks without resolve. I advise people to choose the operator carefully and request you to arrange to take back their equipment and return money. Karunakumar K

On http://airtellive.com/129store/ there is a 3g recharge pack for Rs 149, which states 500MB for 28 days. On paying for the pack, my number was recharged for 450MB for 14 days. Please correct the recharge pack done on my number. Number: [protected] TXN id: 678929 Date: 2nd August, 2015 Also Please correct the site with correct information.

I am a Airtel custome for a long time now . But they always cheats customers and makes money. they even started 4G network but they aren't even capable of providing decent 2G service. highest speed 10-12 KBPS ... that would have been ok if it was constant speed.. but most of the time it's 4-5 KBPS with full tower connectivity .. I am from Tripura and Airtel service here sucks when it comes to internet connectivity

My number is [protected]. I had recharged on 1st aug for 198 from myairtel app on which it was clearly mentioned I will get 600MB for 28 days. I got confirmation sms for the same when I recharged. But the validity which I got is of 20 days only. So please kindly look into the matter & do the needful.
