Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Took a new connection from Airtel store in Galleria market, Gurgaon. Submitted all documents but the connection did not get activated even in 10 days, even after numerous calls to the store (and every time they guaranteed would resolve it in 2 hours). I even went to deposit the same documents once again and a new SIM card was given, but even that did not work. Frustrated, I decided to surrender the SIM and take my money back. Unfortunately, the store people were more than happy to do so! What a shame, especially when its by such an old telecom player in India. Customer service at its lowest!!!

Since, 9th of January 2015 my mobile no.[protected] was not getting any signal. Whenever, i try to contact this number from my alternative no.[protected] and others, it used to connect some other person of Hyderbad. Subsequently it is learnt that my SIM was exchanged without my consent. On making repeated/several complaints to the customer care of Airtel, finally said that it was done by MISTAKE at some of the Airtel store. Instead rectifying the same immediately, now the staff of Airtel is insisting me to go to the nearest store and submit some documents for further activation. It is not understood why should a customer be penalised for their internal mistake?

I am a journalist by profession and already an airtel consumer. My existing number is [protected].. However due to my professional reason i wanted to opt for another parallel number. I had approached customer care and subsequently an agent named javed approached me on 6.01.2015 and on the same day a sim card was deliered at my residence in Delhi. And i paid the salesman an amount of 350/- .The number i was alloted was [protected]. however even after almost 10 days, connection has not been restored. Neither customer care not the dealer is responding. i want my money back as i want to opt for a new connection. i feel very dissapointed with the behavior that Airtel has shown. i would like to mention the numberof the dealer as well, He is Javed [protected]. kindly help me to find a solution. regards, Tapas Kumar Sengupta [protected]

I am using Airtel prepaid number. Since last 3 days, I am unable to make an outgoing call, instead I get a voice message "There is a temporary suspension on the outgoing calls facility of this number. Please call customer care for more details". I hold enough balance. I raised a complaint regarding this before 3 days and the issue is still open. I speak to customer care 3 to 4 times a days, still none of the highly educated executives in the customer care is able to give a proper response. I checked this sim card with other handsets as well. It doesn;t work; any other sim cards in my handset, it works. There is no damage to the sim card as well. The complaint reference number is : COGCL[protected]. I am really fed up with Airtel service and the way they handle complaints.

I recharged for rs155 2G internet pack on 31st December 2014. This pack is for 1GB and is valid for 30days. This is the recharge I get done every month. On 9th January (within a week) I was unable to make calls or use the internet. It was when I checked my balance I realised that the internet pack was over and subsequently my entire balance of around rs200 was deducted. That very day I called the customer care for an explanation as it is impossible for a 1GB 2G data to get over in a week with the kind of apps that I have been using (mostly whatsapp and facebook. You can forget to download video or even photo with that kind of speed. So basically just messages). I was told I will get a call back within 24hours. As I did not get any call back I had to call them again after which I was given the same response and was told your complaint is open and you will "surely" get a call back after 24hours. Again the same scene and I had to follow up with them again. This time I requested to speak with a supervisor who was of no better help than "We cannot do anything. You should have complained as your balance was deducted. Your data usage is over." Firstly I had complained as soon as I realised my data usage and balance was over. Secondly I had to follow up with them thrice with the long call hold despite them promising a call back . Thirdly it is impossible for 1gb data to get used in a week when all these months I have used the same internet pack and the same apps. Fourthly I just wanted a valid reason and explanation as to why the data usage was exceeded and like other services they should send a reminder of the % internet data usage exceeded prior.

To whomsoever this may concern, This is to inform you about an ongoing issue with my mother's airtel number (will disclose number if a representative asks). The issue is as follows - Every month an anonymous balance deduction happens all of a sudden without our notice. Initially 69 rupees was deducted in the month of October 2014. The following two months, i.e. November and December 2014, 139 rupess was deducted in each month. In all three occasions I had lodged a complaint with the Airtel customer care about this issue and each time I was guaranteed it wouldn't repeat. The reason for balance deduction on all three occasions was internet usage. And every time the call was escalated to a senior executive who would only give empty promises that the problem would not reoccur. Nevertheless, the amounts were refunded to the number. For the kind information of whoever is reading this, my mother uses Nokia's 100 handset, and all people have the general knowledge that these kinds of handsets have nothing to do with internet. It is not possible to note unknown balance deductions unless one is keeping a keen check on the balance amount after each call. It has gone to an extent that my mother, who is quite aged, has to personally write down balance deductions after each call or SMS to keep a check on anonymous balance deductions. And when such a thing happens she needs to depend on me to make the complaint with the ever-esteemed and so responsible Airtel Customer Care, who give empty promises of the problem to never reoccur. All in vain, as expected, in January 2015 too the same thing has happened. My mother noticed a sudden decrease in her balance. I called the 121 customer care and as usual inquired about balance deductions for the past 2 days, and the executive told me strictly that there were only deductions for calls. Even after I repeatedly asked the executive whether there were any internet usage deductions, she sternly replied negatively and didn't even disclose the last 2 days balance deductions properly, and ended the call. As I wasn't satisfied with this customer 'care' service, I made a call again to 121 to inquire about the same thing. This time another executive answers and gives details of balance deductions including a 69 rupees for internet usage. As I was not surprised, I simply asked her to connect to a senior executive. I repeated the whole story of how this issue has been happening for the past three months, and again I was given the assurance that this would not happen again, which I know are just empty words, with a refund to the number as usual. Now I have come to a conclusion that Airtel is just not trustworthy. And so I have decided to change my mother's service provider from Airtel to any other service in case this happens again, which I am 100% sure will happen. Not only will I change hers but also mine and other relatives' numbers too. As I see no other means to put my problem across I am posting this as a complaint here, of course I know it will not be resolved. Why and how this kind of a lapse can happen from the service of Airtel, is something beyond my comprehension and I simply just don't care. One thing I would like to ask is why people claim to be 'service' providers when their so-called service can't even correct a silly error. From, A super irritated helpless Airtel Customer.

My airtel connectivity was very poor and signals are very weak in the night. I asked service provider to check it because we are paying for all channel and utilising a few. During the day time engineer was visited and found the all channel are working. But he start doing something with set top box and cables. Finally set top box stopped working and he said pl pay Rs 500/- and get new one. I said you have damaged so why I should pay. In this regards 2-3 times customer care people called and enforced me to pay Rs 500/- for new set top box. I said I do not going to pay a single Rs. Because this problem is arose by your engineer. Request you to kindly replace my set top box immediately. Because dailly fees are debiting from my pre-paid account. Thanks Samresh Customer ID : [protected]
