Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Sir,
(i) On 6th June 2014, I have made a recharge for Rs. 200/- to my prepaid mobile No. [protected] through airtel mobile recharge. The amount has been debited from my Savings account of canara bank through netbanking, which was opted by me to make the payment. Bank Reference : Cheque No.[protected] Description with date and time : BHARTIAIRTELLIMITEDNEWDELHIIN-06/06/14 17:08:11. The message I received from airtel after the transaction is : Your airtel mobile [protected] online recharge txn ID 918645 pf Rs. 200.0 has been initiated. Please keep the txn id for future reference.
Please take necessary action to credit the amount to my mobile or else kindly refund/credit back to my bank account.

(ii) This has the reference to the call from mobile No. [protected] of airtel.[protected]@in.airtel.com on 21 Nov 2014 and my mail dated 20 Nov 2014, 24 Nov 2014, 25 Nov 2014 and 28 Nov 2014 on the subject. I have sent my bank statement, which clearly shows the amount Rs. 200/- debited from my account with 24 Nov 2014 mail. After so many days with several mails since June 2014 Airtel not resolved the issue. Waiting for a favourable reply from Airtel. I am once again attaching the bank statement for your perusal. Please refer to may earlier mails dated[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected],[pr...⇄ and today's earlier mail.

Hi, I am unable to send SMS from my airtel SIM. I have logged 5 different complaints at [protected] and everytime I get a different complaint number, the call is transferred to a senior executive who tells me that this will be resolved by this date and time and it never happens. It has been 10 days now and the problem was supposed to be resolved by 12 noon today, however, it is still not resolved. I keep my number on international roaming and am very unhappy with the way airtel is treating me. I need an urgent response. Thanks, Harpreet - [protected]

Please note that I was using airtel postpaid no. [protected] for data use and sms. But i was out of station for 4 month and the payment was due. in this period the connection was closed. for some month rental was added and one day i got the call to pay the total amount. i told that when the connection was off take that amount of the usage, why should i give the amount of the closed service. and want to settle the matter. but they do not do and told they will take legal action. I want to settle the matter that time also and now also and want to use the service as it was good but due to non cooperation of the customer service i cannot settle the matter. Please solve the matter and start the service or any better one.

Hi, I recently took a new connection for Landline and Broadband with Airtel. So, here is a catch guys, Airtel guy came and said that along with this connection you will get free 1000 local minutes and so on. So, i took this connection. Now once all the installation is done, Airtel guys now start saying that you will have to arrange for the Landline Instrument from yourself. They will not be providing that with the connection. So, now my question is : 1. You have provided me a landline connection but not an instrument, so how am i supposed to make use of that landline connection which you have charged me for ? 2. All the other telecom companies in this world do provide instruments with the connection, why is Airtel fooling the customers with these hidden conditions.( I say hidden here as nobody will dream that with landline connection is not coming with an instrument) At the time of booking nothing was told to me about the Landline Instrument not being provided with the connection. So, if you have some policy, you should tell that upfront and not hide behind conditions. Seriously expected better from Airtel. Being a long time loyal customer, something better than fooling customers was expected.

My name is Naresh Barkula. My mobile number is [protected]. On 2nd Dec, 2014, I got notified by a message saying that Laila service has been activated and Rs.35 has been deducted. I don't want that service in first place.. This is the second time it happened to me.. I deactivated the service immediately but money is not reimbursed. I am disgusted with airtel service. I want them to reimburse my money and I don't want airtel to deduct any money in the name of "value added services"

I requested for IPTV connection and airtel executive asked me to pay amount in advance i paid amount with check after payment got deducted from my account they told me that it is not possible and after requesting multiple times i got my land line disconnected but no clue of my refund. They are doing froud with innocent customers and no commitment from Bharti Airtel Side.

Hi, I have recently got a postpaid connection (number: [protected]). This number has been activated and I did not receive my sim from the retailer. My number is getting billed without my usage or getting my sim. I have raised a request to cancel the connection and I did not receive any response from the customer care, its already been 1 week I have raised the complaint. I worried if the sim is misused by the retailer as it is an active sim. This is not fair that I am getting bill charge without even getting my sim. Please check this issue as early as possible. Thanks, Raghu Ph: [protected]

Sir, my no. Is [protected] and want to state that 2 days ago i have talked to the airtel costumer care and enquired about the recharge of rs 51 which is the night 3g 1 gb pack from 12 am to 6 am..the costumer care executive also confirmed that this special plan is valid . So i recharged but when i used this service my entire main balance has been deducted . I again called the customer care and he told that no such recharge has been done in my no.I also have my msg as a proof he cut the phone rudely.The very next day i visited the shop where i have recharged . He told that the recharge was successful and he showed me the msg too. Then he called the customer care .The customer care executive told that this special 51 night pack service is now not valid from yesterday.Then the shopkeeper told to return the money if it is not valid because we called the customer care before recharge .
