Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I had a Mobile Phone connection from the Airtel and the same was bearing No. [protected] and the same was closed / disconnected about 2 to 3 months back and after that i had paid two bills and again they have sent a bill for November 2014 during which period the phone was disconnected and the same was not operating. This is just nothing but harassing the citizens, i hereby request the Airtel to look in to my complaint, other wise i may have to file appropriate criminal and civil cases in the court of law. A.M.

Sir, Last month I have taken up a new Airtel postpaid connection for data card on monthly 650 plan of 5GB 3 G usage and unlimited 2G usage. The executive told me that on 3G connection my data speed will be 3.1 mbps and in 2G my data speed will be 130 kbps, i access my 3G data in the mentioned speed but the 2G spped is very slow and its below 10kbps. I have choosen this plan only for the 130 kbps unlimited plan and why should I have to pay Rs.650 + tax of 12.5% for this 5GB ... So i would like to file a complaint about the fake information provided by the executive ... Thank you, G.GOKUL

Dear Airtel, I am writing this mail with a sense of deep remorse and pain. I am a loyal customer of airtel and have been using airtel services over last 10 years and am sure I am amongst few of those who opted for airtel services when airtel was about to establish itself. My name is Dr Subodh lall and this discomfort is regarding my airtel connection [protected]. I have been getting inflated bills over the last several months but like a very loyal customer of the company I did not feel like investigating the matter and kept on paying the bills till date when I realised that I was actually paying for DSL as well. On inquiring further I got to know that someone has erroneously activated DSL services on this connection without my consent. For your knowledge I have a separate airtel connection for dsl. The connection is in my son's name sudel lall ([protected]). I spoke to several of airtel representatives including Mr vivek Kumar, Mr gaurav tiwari, Mr piyush, etc however no one paid heed to it. The only thing they kept on saying was they can't do much on this and they would need additional time. Since Mr gaurav already told me that they have found out that someone from the sales team has activated it by mistake I döñt see any point waiting to get any sort of resolution on this. I plan to discontinue this connection as well as all airtel services as I have lost faith in the brand. Now, when I call Airtel call center and when I brief around the issue to the executives they keep me on long holds nad than disconnect the call. From one of my favourite brands in a week's time you have become a company that SUCKS. Thanks for building this perception in me and treating me so nicely. I will also take this matter with consumer court and plan to highlight this on social media. Hope to receive a response from your side. Regards, An aggrieved customer Dr Subodh lall

There was a call we are from AIRTEL and your a lucky customer selected for this offer and your name will given out as HELLO TUNES for THREE MONTHS FREE OF COST.

I have recently ported from Loop to Airtel. My number is [protected] retained under MNP system. Before porting I was promised to receive 6 packs on my postpaid connection under myPlan 199 but after activation of the connection I have received only 4 packs. I had ported to Airtel only because of this offer. Airtel has cheated me and offered less than promised. Now, when I try to communicate with Airtel executive my queries are not been entertained. I have no option now but to move this to consumer forum as Airtel has tricked us onto getting Airtel connection.

Dear Sir, I am using Airtel SIM [protected]. (1) I bought Airtel 3GB unlimited internet data plan for Rs. 249.00, on 2G speed and after consuming 3GB data it provides 40kbps speed for 28 day from activation the plan. I activated this plan on 02/11/2014 and I consumed 3GB data on 16/11/2014. But today after consumimng 3GB data, I am receiving 0 to 0.5kbps data only instead of 40kbps. That is realy useless speed. (2) I tried 3 to 4 times to bay a Airtel unlimited internet night plan for Rs. 08.00, valide from night 00:00am to 06:00am on 2G speed. But my connection was broken by Airtel's Hidden Policy every time afer 30 to 40 second. I am 100% sure that there is the big Hidden Policy of Airtel to make money by cheating crores consumers per day. On 16/11/2014 at 11:20am I talk to Airtel Costomer Care Executive(Mrs. Poonam) but she did not respond properly. My Study, Office and Shop work is stopped due to insufficient and fraud internet plan services. I having lose for Rs. about 1000 to 12000 per day. The matter is very serious, will be discover and teken to court. I hope the best help from you. Thanking you. Best wishes. your faithfully. Rusit Chauhan Jain Tirth Nakoda, Balotra Distt.

I have been using Airtel's 2G service for some time now. For the last 10 days, the network connectivity has been extremely poor. I live on an institutional campus and a quick check with the student community showed that I wasn't the only one, most 2G users with Airtel were facing the same issue. I lodged a complaint with the Airtel consumer help (Complaint no. 369217) Sunday (16/11/14) evening. Note that the executive insisted I check my network settings, and only after I insisted that there were connectivity issues in my region did he agree to look into the problem. However, nothing changed. I tried calling Consumer Help again on Tuesday (18/11/14), as the connection had totally stopped by then, but was unable to connect to an executive. Thereafter, I filed an online complaint on Airtel's website (Receipt no. PR[protected], and the confirmation mail assured response within two hours. However, nothing improved and nobody contacted me from Airtel. Eventually, I posted a complaint on Airtel's facebook handle, which was immediately responded to, asking me to inbox my phone number. As a follow up, an executive from Airtel did contact me in the morning on the 19th, however, he again asked me to reset my network settings. I told him that the settings were fine, that I had reset them, but the executive insisted that I do it once again. I agreed to do so, on his assurance that if resetting did not solve the problem, he would forward the complaint to the networks team. He offered to call me back in some time, to verify if the problem had been resolved. As expected, resetting did not solve my problem and the executive failed to contact me thereafter. I was again left in a lurch. By night, I decided to put up the status again on my post on their facebook page, as that was the only place they seemed to reply. After explaining my situation, the answer I received was far from satisfactory, stating "Hi Kriti, this is with reference to our discussion, we have taken your address as an input for future planning and we will keep you updated towards the same. Regards' Dhrub". Further comments that I made were completely ignored by the admins. Incidentally, I know at least 10 more people who use Airtel's 2G network, live in the same hostel and have been facing the same problem for 10 days now. And there are ore users as well. Some of them have lodged complaints themselves, and have been dealt with similarly (askied t change network settings). One person in fact was promised that an engineer would be sent to the campus to get the network checked, but no one contacted him again and no engineer was sent. Fellow users who also wrote their complaints as a follow up of my complaint on the facebook page, were ignored and the Airtel admins handling the page deleted their complaints. This is totally unacceptable behaviour on the part of Airtel. We are facing issues because of lack of internet connectivity, the data packs that we have purchased from Airtel are going in vain, and Airtel refuses to acknowledge our situation, only ask us to repeatedly change our network settings. Help would be really appreciated!

My Airtel mobile number is [protected]. On 19/11/2014 at 7:13 PM, i received a message that i am charged INR 3 for some services. The next minute i received another message that INR 50 is being deducted for a game named 'Assassin's Creed'. Only then i knew that there is a game with this name in my mobile. I quickly called 'Airtel Customer Support' through 121 and spoke with a lady (Forgot her name). She said that i had played that game and that was the reason i was deducted INR 53 from my account. I denied that i never play games in my mobile and the mobile was idle with me and there are no children to play with mobile phones at my home. The lady had a lot of attitude that she kept cutting me off and never listened to what i spoke. Then i requested to speak to a supervisor. The call was transferred to another gentleman named Vignesh. I again explained Vignesh that i have not played the game and i want my money back. He stood firm and said we cannot return the money since i have played the game. I know this could go in circles. Hence i told him that i will complain to TRAI and Consumer Grievances Court and will also refer to this call which will be saved in the database. He was very reluctant and not customer-centric and lethargically said to complain wherever i want to. I am very worried since this is not the first time that Airtel is doing this sort of job to their loyal customers. I stayed with Airtel even through they raised all the service charges due to the INR 650 Crore penalty they paid to DoT. I need a response in 7 working days from Airtel through this forum, else, i will launch a formal complaint for Unfair trade practice and Deficient customer service through the Consumers Court. I will post this complaint through all the social networking forums and will tear the mask of Airtel, who proclaim they are the best Telephone and Internet Service Providers in India. Kingston

Hello Sir, I'm using airtel prepaid sim and the network is VERY VERY poor inside the house. I live in Nizampet village (Bandari layout). Can you please fix it. I have complained many times to customer care and no action was taken. If this is not getting fixed probably i will be moving to another network. I guess many customers would have already complained about this connectivity issue. Pls fix it.

I had made a payment of 1630 on 18/11/14. On 19/11/14 again the same amount was debited from my credit card through auto-debit service. I called to customer care and asked to initiate the refund but I was told that it will take 45days for refund. It's very embarrassing to say that your service is disgusting. I am very unsatisfied with your service. Why I need to suffer without my fault?? The next month I am going to use all the available credit limit I.E. Above 5000INR and I am not going to pay and don't give a damn whatsoever. To prevent me to do this I demand you to refund my amount back. On the whole I am telling you AIRTEL SERVICE SUCKS.
