Airtel Complaints & Reviews

My mobile number is [protected]. On 07.09.2014, I had done an on-line 2G data pack recharge for Rs.98/- valid for 20 days. By this, I was supposed to use up 500 MB data. An SMS from AM-NTAROT was received on my mobile subsequently on the same day in confirmation accordingly. However, much to my shock, when I used the internet today (20.09.2014) the charges were deducted from my main account, while my 2G data pack recharge was supposed to be valid till 26.09.2014! And I am yet to use up 300 plus GB out of 500 GB. My calling the Customer Service or contacting the Airtel Gallery in Dombivli was of no help. What else would I call this, if not cheating? Would Airtel give some explanation and make good my loss in this regard?

The data plan has not been activated even after 5 hours of request. Loss of money form Main balance as I had to use the Internet in spite of subscribing to 6 GB 3G data plan and loss of money from repeatedly calling Customer Care. The only answer I got from Customer Care was to wait after putting on hold for long time and transferring calls to multiple support persons. The service quality is substandard.

I bought a 3G Airtel Dongle yesterday in Anantapur, Andhrapradesh, and it spoiled all my vacation mood and plans. I am on vacation in India and I bought an Airtel 3G Dongle for office work as well as to browse internet and plan my vacation. Airtel executives told me that if I buy Airtel 3G Dongle for Rs. 2100 I will get 6GB free data immediately after activation. They also told me that it will be valid for 30 days and will be the best option for my vacation in India. The Dongle got activated this morning and worked for 15 minutes with reasonable speed . After that the speed got reduced to 2 KB/ 3 KB per second, after some time the Dongle stopped to connect to internet. I disconnected the Dongle and reconnected to my laptop multiple times but it never worked. I thought Airtel is a big brand and will resolve my issue as soon as I call the customer care. Surprisingly Google could not find any customer care number for Airtel 3G Dongles. Even Airtel.in website also not displaying any customer care number. Later on someone told me that I can call customer care by using the SIM card available in the Dongle. But even with the SIM card it took me one hour to find the option to speak to the Customer Care executive. When I selected the option I got message that I should recharge my mobile to speak to the customer care. I should have thrown the Dongle in my toilet and flushed it at this point of time. But with little hope and because of critical internet access requirement I recharged my mobile and called the customer care. The customer care executive was in no mood to understand my concerns and simply saying wait for 72 hours to get update on your complaint. I was promised 6GB of free data immediately after activation and now they deactivated 3G and saying to wait for 72 hours. I recommend everyone not to buy Airtel 3G dongles, there is no direct customer care number, even if you call from your Airtel mobile they will force you to listen their ads and will charge you for listening their advertisements. BUT FINALLY THEY WILL NOT RESOLVE YOUR ISSUE. I should have read some Airtel 3G Dongle reviews data card reviews before buying. NEVER BUY AIRTEL 3G Dongles for office or business related purpose. All Airtel executives are big time liars. Once they get the money from the customer their job is done. They are not at all interested to resolve customer issues. NEVER THINK THAT AIRTEL IS A BIG BRAND AND THEY WILL HAVE GOOD CUSTOMER CARE. THEY ARE THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN.

I have applied for a broadband connection 15 days back. Sales agent promised me a connection within 4 working days. After that I am continuously following up with sales agent, but nothing has happened so far. I have paid Rs.1000 at the day of application. Now-a-days the agent is not picking my call. When I am calling airtel customer care number[protected] they are telling that they have not received any application in my application form number. My application number is TNPB227262 dated 04.09.2014. I am attaching the application acknowledge slip along with this. Please look into this matter and solve at the earliest. Sales agent phone number is [protected]. Regards, Anand A

I registered DND service for my Airtel sim but receives messages from ICICI Banks and State bank of India regarding the credit card payment every month I have made complaint to both the company but still receive the same which I have nothing to do with credits cards payment from these banks, also receives call asking for person called S. kapoor, please take this complaint into account as after number of attempt it continues.

airtel at there worst behave and service. Firstly they explain and convince for there postpaid plans. Once you get starting month give less bill than they show there real color with negative billing which is super high amount. Not using net frm week still showing 100 up mb usage. 23 hour talked in one day like 1hr only i slept. Thinking us fool or out of mind. When complained everywhere with same line gone to postpaid to prepaid they stopped both cards. , Rubbish service ever. Biggest lutere for postpaid users. And not allow for portability even. Never ever go for airtel if you get in free even.

airtel is the worst in providing customer service.once the documents is submited they disconects ur incoming and outgoing and ask u to again submit the documents.they want us to leave our jobs and keep travelling to their relationship centre again where there we have to wait in a long que and without any satisfation.airtel shld better closed down the relationship centre if they r not capable of handling it properly.

Dear Sir, I had a prepaid account with airtel. & i want to block my number my nuber is [protected]. because i had lost my cell phone. So kindly request you to block my number i.e [protected] Thanking you, | Best Regard, p.k.de deputy general manager/bokaro steel plant bokaro steel city jharkhand. [protected]. |

Purchase new airtel connection with my plan on airtel website. and paid the activation fee online but after that no response from airtel side. What kind of services airtel have? i am posting on your twitter page on daily basis but airtel people didn't bother to call me. If its not possible to provide me new connection. Refund my amount.

Hi, I have three number's ([protected], [protected], [protected]) with airtel, which were activated on 8th August, 2014. I had requested a Rs. 299 plan on all three numbers, however the plan requested was activated on only one number ([protected]). Due to this miss from airtel's end i had to go through inconvenience. However, i took this miss lightly and reported this to airtel, as soon as i got first bill. The consultant from airtel promised me this has been taken care off, however to confirm the change i called airtel again within a week, the lady from airtel informed it wasn't processed by the previous consultant and she is processing it now. However, i get my second bill and again i have the same issue. When i reported it today again to airtel a consultant name Bhagyalaxmi informs me that i need to call the number for her manager or her manager will get in touch with me today or tommorow. I just want to ask one question to you people, who am I an airtel customer or a begger who is asking something extra from you'll. What am I demanding??? This is getting too dirty now and this is the reason i discontinued using airtel 5 years back and switched to loop formly known as bpl. In my 5 yr tenure with loop i called them only twice, but here it started with airtel again. Guys stop spending millions on advertising and spend a bit on customer service, because we as customer's are not fools. We know the law well. I hope u understand were I am coming from. Hope to see issue taken care off in 24hrs at max. Regards, Daniel.

I am kalyan Singh from Bhopal, I am using broadband connected to WiFi modem. And from last one month my net is not working because of link dropage, and when I call customer care they different reasons everytime. I dont wanna use Airtel anymore, I am fed up of calling customer care and asking them for issue. You just send urban man to disconnect the connection.

Am Saravana from Titupur DT, Tamil Nadu. Am using airtel for more than 5 yrs. Since got job in Private bank i planned to switch over to POSTPAID plan so i requested for the same in their website. This is my plan id MYOP[protected]. Next mrng i received call from them stating they will arrange a representative to collect proofs and to process my plan but i din recevied any cal from representative. SO AFTR 2 days again i registered in their website and things happened lik before and no further calls. THen also i made 3rd request in their website and the same story. Its really very stupid and iritating..

I am really angry with Airtel service. I made a 3G data recharge of 1 GB (500 3g+500 2g) on Wednesday on 11/9/14 at 6.25 pm. Next day on Thursday when phone was in standby I received a message at 6.48 pm that my whole datapack has been and now my main balance would be deducted. I saw this message 2 minutes later and when I put off my 3G I noticed my complete main balance was deducted that was Rs. 200. I was shocked and it was unbelievable. I have not used enough data I know for sure after the recharge, but even if I believe that you people charge Rs. 200 for 3G access in 2 minutes that too in stand by mode.. Come on.. Stop cheating people like this.. This is fraud!!! Complete Fraud!!! I called the customer care and talked to senior customer care executive Mr. Vijay Kumar after that but he did not believe me and told me that I have used the data and he cant make a refund... What sort of service is this.. Cheating your customers and behaving rudely after that.. I am going to port my no. very soon.. And I wont ever use any of the Airtel services.. They are cheaters!!!

MAKING A COMPLAINT This is to inform you that I am a honourable customer of Airtel since last so many years but from past so many months its being terrific to use Airtel services Kindly note that until 28 or 29 August I had utilized my 1 GB which is allowed as per the package and after which i didn¿t utilised the internet facility for few days & further I did call airtel executive on 1st or 2nd Sept to confirm whether I can get the option to use 1 GB in 200 or 250 charge for which the answer received was ¿ Yes¿ & the amount will be charged in my bill amount And from 5th Sept(My bill start date) again my new bill plan will be activated for which I confirmed. Now again while calling to the executive after n no times today after checking my bill amount they said my request for activating internet plan on 2nd or 3rd hasn¿t been activated so per MB charges applies which is a big BLUNDER done by your agent. I spoke to Preeti Singh, Akshay & Anand but they disconnected my call in between as they were not having any answer & was not able to entertain or respond to my query. Now, kindly check & resolve this at the earliest or else I will be filling the complaint against Airtel in consumer court as I have really got tired in resolving such issues. Need an response immediately Best Regards Nancy Girish Sawhney [protected]
