Airtel Complaints & Reviews

hello sir, my name is kapil and my no. is [protected]. sexual health services has been automatically activated on my phone without my permission. and I talk to customer care but didn't refund. so I request u to please refund my balance. Thank you.

I have easy recharged 2G internet package worth of Rs 199 to get 2gb of data after seeing 121 portal but after recharging I got only 1.25g data. I have contacted Airtel person but he was favour of what recharge done. I need justice now with 2gb Of data. Airtel misguiding it's customers.

Today morning(25.11.2014) when I called regarding excess amount deduction of my call first I was not attended by the customer care member her behaviour was rude when I got irritated with her then I asked for somebody else to help me resolve my problem however she transferred to on another girl Geeta called herself floor supervisor probably she was also least interested as she was going mute sometimes.Both of them claims that they sent update that my sim card validity is over 15 days back which I kept telling I haven't received, then after telling that if they won't help me then I will give their call record to consumer grievance Geeta told she will transfer the call to manager however that never happened and I lost money in talking to the Cs team of airtel also they charge 50p per min.and the call lasted for 16 min.as they were putting me on hold every time atleast 8 min I wasted on holding only.I have their call record as well but there is no option here to attach.

Hi, I am Raghavendranath Garlapati having an airtel sim card with [protected] number. On 22 Oct 2014, I travelled to US for a long term. On 25-OCt 2014, I raised a request to Airtel for closing/cancelling my account. They told me thru mail that it will take 11 days to cancel my account. I thought it would be closed by 5th Nov 2014. Till 5th nov 2014, I havent received any mail from airtel customer care. So I dropped a mail again to Airtel for knowing the status. But to my surprise, they told me that they contacted me and based on my suggestion they cancelled the request. I never told them to cancel the request. Again they started taking fresh cancellation request. Like this it 3-4 times. When ever I tried to know the status. They are taking fresh cancellation request. They are making fun out of me. Looks like my account is still not closed by AIRTEL. I cleared all the bills upto Nov 10 2014 and I clearly told to Airtel customer care that I am not going to pay any amount after that that. Please help me out on how to handle my situation. I am currently at USA.

I got a new 4G connection (WiFi router) this Month-Service Provider was Charan : Contact number ([protected]) . I opted for a 40 GB (Rs 2k) in the application form. When the connection was activated, customer care team activated a 10GB basic plan. From past 1 week, I am trying to change the plan, and now customer care says they don't have a 40 GB plan and suggested me to take a 30 GB plan(Rs 1995). I called Customer care on 22nd Nov, spoke to Madan- they gave me a reference ID :[protected], saying plan would be activated in 48 hours. I called again on 23rd Nov, spoke to Gautum: he gave me a reference [protected] saying it would take another 24 hours. I asked him for a callback to be arranged, he agreed and said to quote the above interaction ID. On 24 Nov, I called again spoke to Sanjay who got Supervisor Chetan, this time he informed me there is no request raised for plan change, and the above references had no notes left by the customer care executive. WOW, EXCELLENT SERVICE... Can SOMEONE really take this up and solve this issue

sir, the speed of internet service that we are getting from your esteemed tele service is a pity.i am writing this grievance from assam`s Bongaigaon town, the town which is divisional HQ of BSNL for 7 Districts and is considered as the centre of business and industries of lower Assam region. Your 2G network even does not hold two or three bars in the network display of the computer or in the mobile. there is no presence of 3G here. it takes about 5 minutes to load one page and an hour to download a 20 or 30 mb file. the network speed has gone bad to worse in the surrounding areas near the town.there are some 2000 prospective Internet customers in this said area alone. To conclude, let the customers feel the friut of telecom liberalisation and revolution by improving Airtel tele service which would definitely unshackle us from the tyrany of archaic BSNL. yours faithfully hemanta talukdar [protected]@gmail.com

+91 [protected]/[protected] I have an Airtel connection for many years now. Am disappointed and disgusted with the approach of your online Tech support esp Mr Krishna who questioned if I understand English!! Had called at 1900 hrs on Monday 24th Nov 2014 hoping for a solution to my problem about wifi constant disconnection and call dropping. To my dismay he was rude on the line and disconnected the line. If you can help do so else I will move higher authorities. Hope for an early response Jyotsna Khanna

24/11/2014 Referring to the 22nd complaint for Mobile Number [protected] ( Please refer complaint of 22nd from Bisanjit). On 23 rd we received a call from the number [protected] subsequently it was connected to Neptune Enterprises Kalyan branch, spoke to the representative via conference call. Yesterday when the call was received was busy in a family function, hence words was not grasped but the bottom line was that by Monday 24th the clerical problem of log in would be completed and the service would be restored. Today was trying the sourced number even sent sms but of no vail. We were assured of a call today. Again in a state of question mark on whether our services can e restored today. Do respond at the earliest. Biswajit Gupta [protected]

Hi All I just wanted to share my horrible experience with Airtel during Mobile Number portability Few months ago, I received phone calls from some executive, claiming themselves as Airtel asking me to switch to Airtel as they offer attractive benefits..After few conversations, somehow I did not feel so good and decided not to proceed inspite of receving multiple calls from that number. After that, last month, I decided to switch to Airtel and called up the customer care to know the details..Logged a ticket through their website as well..they said an executive would respond and so they did.. Almost the next day, the airtel executive came home, filled forms and took back supporting documents FORGETTING THE SIM CARD..On repeated calls, he handed over a day or two later.. THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS WERE NOT SUBMITTED ON TIME BY THE EXECUTIVE DELAYING THE PROCESS..My existing operator disconnected my service and the Airtel simcard did not work as well..The huge number of AIRTEL customer care calls made by me were either not responded or the customer care abruptly cut the call or they had no idea what I am talking about..they all made the same answer of restarting my phone and wait for 4 hours which by that time had already done a zillion times..atlast after 4 days one executive found the issue with the sim number.He mentioned that the SIM NUMBER RESGITERED ON THEIR SYSTEM IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I HAVE..Spoke with the executive(who handed over the sim card), who initially picked the call, promising to reach on the same day and give the card..(NO APPOLOGIES EVEN THROUGH I FACED PROBLEMS FOR 4 DAYS BECAUSE OF HIM)... But NEITHER DID HE COME NOR DID HE PICK THE CALL AFTER THAT..I was FORCED TO VISTI AIRTEL GALLERY... The response that people gave me..my god!!!...one fellow says that I SHOULDNT HAVE TAKEN THE SIMCARD FROM THE EXECUTIVE RATHER I SHUOLD HAVE VISITED THE GALLERY..AS SUCH EXECUTIVES COULD TAKE AWAY MY SIMCARD USING MY NAME..Inspite of telling him that i spoke with the airtel customer care and they said some executive will respond for the documents... if your people(AIRTEL) send me a wrong person, how am i to be blamed?!!..Infact I had done this MNP earlier as well in Bangalore and an executive came and picked the documents and it was a hassle free transaction"..., he kept iterating the point "MADAM THIS IS MUMBAI, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN?"...What the hell was this customer care response!!!..And now they refused to hand over any new sim card mentioning that there was no prob with sim card, its just that i did not get the right one..they asked me to wait for another 48 hours(which would make it 7 days without any connectivity)...oh God!!!..and ofcourse to please me, they sent out a mail to their customer care mentioning the name of person who brought all the troubles.. One thing to be mentioned, is the worst customercare, showing faces as if they are doing me free service and the response, scaring people more mentioning that guy who gave me the sim card could be wrong!!!.. I made online complaints as well..And the next day night, I SPOKE WITH CUSTOMER CAR WHO RESPONED SAYING THEY HAD NOT CHECKED THE REPLY FOR MY MAIL (THEY SENT THE PREVIOUS DAY) AND SAID ITS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY...sooppeerb!!!...Later in the evening, the same person came and handed over the sim card and he had activated all by himself(What the hell!!!) and NO APPOLOGIES.I had called the same fellow 3-4 days back, he had promised that he would provide the correct sim and has turned up only after so many complaints..This was the end of 6 days without any mobile network.. Few things I observed in these 6 days (1)Pathetic Customer care service (2)Each gallery considers themselves as seperate companies and not as part of Airtel..they dont want to take blame of another airtel gallery.. (3)The guy doesnt even check the Sim card number and hands over whatever he feels like (4)Till we switch to another connection, all is well..you get showered with nice talks and promises.Once we move to their network, they dont even respond (5)I seriously dont know whether the person changed the sim card intentionally...I somehow felt if i wouldnt have taken any quick actions, I might have handed over the sim card taken in my name to some other person...which could seriously invite trouble for me Name of Person who took my documents and gave a wrong simcard :: Yogendra Name of Airtel gallery visited by me :: chakkala(opposite to Apple heritage) So people take enough precautions

I have requested my broadband shifting to my new home on Nov 3rd. Airtel processed my request for 18 days just to say "We cant shift". I have been calling them daily and they promised me that airtel connection is available in that area and they will give connection 100%. But now, they are telling me it is not possible. If that is easy the case, they should have informed me earlier itself, so that I might have arranged some other service provider. Me being a freelancer have lost my clients due to absence of internet and this has affected my earnings for this month.

I was a loop customer and my mobile no was [protected]. I stay in Thakur Village Kandivali so went to Thakur Village airtel gallery for porting.Over there they charged me 100/- INR without any receipt and its been a week but no network.Beside Vodafone charging no any porting charges for loop customers.I want my money back and cancel the portability of my number. I have already applied the porting to vodafone with no charges.

Hi, I have bought Moto G (2nd gen) on 18th october with an offer for 1GB 3G data for 2 months. I have activated this offer by visiting airtel offer page in my mobile. I have used the service for one month(20th october to 19th nov). But they started charging before it exceeded the limit. I was not aware of this. As soon as i found that, i called up the customer care to lodge a complaint. Then raised a complaint and they said that we will activate the HBO(handset bunbled offer) by 12 pm. But it was not done so. they closed the request. Again in the evening i called up to ask for the reason. some floor manager spoke to me to check in *121*11#. I believe he is not wise enough to understand my problem. checked the code but nothing was there. Again i called to raise a complaint, they said we will activeate it by 24th. but on 20th itself got a message saying all the due recharge benifits are credited to your account. they did not do as usual. I have all the necessary details with me. Complaints no CBNRD[protected] and CWRCH[protected]. I dont know why they have to provide offer and trying to cheat customers. I dont want someone else to get caught in this. regards, Srini

Hi, I am writing this mail to express my deepest disappointment with the Airtel Customer Care services. Earlier this month, I had spoken to a customer care representative to close an additional Airtel number that I possess [protected], Relationship no. [protected]. The customer care executive cancelled my number with immediate effect (at least, he told me he did) and the Interaction Id regarding cancellation of number is: [protected]. Even after this discussion I am getting a bill this month a monthly charge of 108 INR. Please note that my bill was all paid and in negative figures when I cancelled the bill. The customer care representative told me I had nothing to pay. Unfortunately, this is what I was dreading and has happened. There are many cases all over the internet of Airtel not cancelling numbers and sending bills to customers to earn revenue. Please note that, I will not pay any additional money to Airtel for this number since I have done my part and close the number. If you guys can't fulfill your tasks and resort to malpractices for earning more revenue I know where to complain. Consider this a humble request again to close the account or correct your systems.

Being a customer of Airtel if i have any problem then i will 1st contant ur customer service only, but looking at ur operators response i m fully dis-satisfied with ur Customer care service. I have mged for the activation of 2days 2G service from my mobile no- [protected] on 24/11/14 and then waited for almost 30mins for the activation mge, but since no mge was delivered i tried once again but after 1hr saw Rs.20 was deducted from my acc balance. I tried to took help from ur customer service, but ur customer repressentative named rashmi was't able to provide any soln and transferd the call to some guy( head representative) who just cutted the phone betwn our conversation without proper soln. I am fully disapointed with such aproach o[censored]r customer service bcoze later also after calling 2-3 times no soln was provided. Please provide my Rs.10 back bcoze just 2days 2g net has been activated for which i have being charged Rs.20, whrere acc to rule just Rs.10 should have being deducted.
