Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I recharged my airtel prepaid phone ([protected]) online on 01/02/2014 on airtel's online recharge site (www.airtel.in). I did a full talktime recharge of Rs. 300/- and made the payment with my Visa ICICI debitcard. But once I made the payment, THE RECHARGE WASN'T DONE ON MY PHONE NO as well as THE TRANSACTION WAS MADE FROM MY ACCOUNT. Transaction ID given was[protected]. No action taken till now. Kindly look into the matter. Pratyay Masanta

Customer id- [protected], Balkampet, Near B.K Guda Park, Srinivasa Nilayam pin -500038, Hyderabad, Andhrapradesh. For Security aid purpose i have given [protected] number while taking airtel DTH connection.As your service messages are continuous disturbing .So i want to register with my own number i.e., with [protected]

I converted my number [protected] into postpaid. According to Myplan services provided by Airtel I chose to activate 999 plan on my number but they actually activated 299 plan. Notwithstanding the grievance, I thought of converting back to prepaid but the customer care replied that I cannot do it before 90 days from activation.In view of this I wish to bring to notice the perfidy of the agent who offered me the postpaid plan: When asked about converting back to prepaid if I don't like the present plan, he replied that I can convert back to prepaid at any time which made my consideration to take up postapid but now they say that it is not the case. In view of this I feel that Airtel can take any arbitrary decision to charge me more when the billing is entirely in their discretion and later convince me on their charging pattern, policies etc which reflects the companies exploitation of the trust of customers and their ignorance.

This is completely irritating. Even after furnishing all the required documents to the company, my number has not been converted from prepaid to postpaid. I've been getting calls from the customer care just to confirm whether my number has been activated or not. I don't understand how the system works in Airtel such that the calling team can't check the status of any number whether it is active or not. On a daily basis, I'm getting these calls which is making it even worse instead of funding a solution to the problem Really dissatisfied with the way my query has been dealt with.

Hi
My mobile no is [protected]. I have recharged my phone online with 198 rupees for 30 days validity, but company gives me only 28 days validity. When i asked to customer care service than they told that company has reduced all tariff validity to 28 days. I have recharged online . In official website of airtel they shows the full 30 days validity for the same scheme but company didn't provide me the full validity. I have already registered a complaint to your company .

Hi,
I am using Airtel mobile since many years, my number is [protected], I am not able to talk with the customer care executive, I have tried 121, 198, [protected] [protected], I am not able to get the option to select to talk to our executive, I know from my friends that sometimes Airtel does this purposefully, they are misusing the facility of blocking irritating customer to block genuine customers also, where can we approach to lodge our complaints?? How can i complaint about this to TRAI?? This is not the first time for me. Previously also after posting on Internet I got my problem solved. Expecting a solution for this,

Hi,

Please find the complaint numbers 54899180 and 54873893. I have mailed lots to [protected]@in.airtel.com and called 121 and 198 more than 10 times already. No one is attending to these. I want my money back to my account. Call me @[protected]

This is regarding false committment by Airtel Staff & poor Customer service Delivery agsinst new Airtel BB connection.
I had applied for a new BB Connection.On 27/01/2014, an executive name Mr.Abhinav Kalsiya from Airtel visited my place, gave me full details about the plans & products.On 28/01/2014, I called him at his Mob.No. [protected], handed over all the formalities along with the SD of Rs.250/- for the same.I was given a Rcpt.no. 2723, dted-28/01/2014.I was informed that the technical team shall be coming on 30/01/2014 for cable set up & installation.
I called Mr.Abhinav Kalsiya on 30/01/2014, at noon hours, I was told that he shall be updating me about the visit within an hour.When no revert from his end, I called him again, I was told that the installation shall be done the next day, afternoon, as the technical team are busy in some other cable malfunctioning issues.
On 31/01/2014, I called him, he did not responded to my calls.Finally I called at the LL no.mentioned at his Visiting Card.Was mentioned, Anshika Communication & the LL No.[protected].A kind lady responded & bluntly told me that my connection cannot be processed as there is no connectivity & neither the technical team will accord for the same.Surprisingly, this is not correct.As two of my neighbours are having Airtel BB & it was by their word of mouth that I came to know about the satisfactory result of the connectivity.One of them share a common boundary with us.The other residing opposite.
When I shared these details to the CC lady, I was told to enquire to these people about the weak service quality, as she is sure that the quality may not be at all satisfactory.
I am surprised about the quality of work force, Airtel has employed.One who took away all the details & cash, but not responding after then, the other one who is giving such negative feedback about their product, even when the customer is sharing valuable feedback.
Eventually my father called Mr.Abhinav Kalsiya from his no.& the same feedback was shared to us.
If there isnt any connectivity, how my neihgbours are experiencing satisfacory results.And if it is so, why Mr.Abhinav did not shared this before login.Now it is told to me that I may be refunded back my cash thru chq.
This seems unjust & unfair, as I was given false information.Sales team are bothered about their numbers, as it was month closing.Once the login is thru, let the customer keep on raising his voice & suffer.This needs to be addressed immediately.
I want an appropriate resolution to be provided to me within 48 hrs, else I do not mind putting extra effort & few more bucks to approach the consumer forum & proceed legally, as well.
This is an absurd, negligient & indisciplined act of the employess of Airtel.
Need an immediate action & resolution for the same.

Hi Its Ashutosh, new victim of Airtel and its fraud customer services. Its my 6th experience with Airtel customer care team. And this time it is for Airtel 4G connection. I am having Airtel 4G device since last few months. Connection was running fine and smooth for some time and one day Internet connection stopped working. I called customer care on 25th Jan 2014 and asked for resolution. After 7th attempt of resetting my device. Finally they said we will escalate issue to high level. After two days they said, its device problem and person will contact you for the same. It’s been 10 days since then and nobody ever contacted me regarding this. They closed my support request 3 times saying, "they tried calling me. I could not pick up. So closing ticket." I have called them 37 different times but still no result. This is company being run by goons and liars, who have absolute no command over their services. Before that I has problem with installing my digital TV, for which they took more than 2 months to install connection. Ashutosh Airtel 4G Number: [protected]

I called him hundred of times but he is not picking my phone as well.I complaint to the customer care as well(Complain[protected] but still no action has been taken from Airtel.

Hi, Since last 3 years I'm using Airtel with proper service, but I don't think the same service is providing now. I requested to shift my connection on 28th Jan 2014, from Velachery, Chennai to Pallikaranai, Chennai. When I contact customer care they said he having problem with the piller and its going to be fixed within 3days but its not fixed, for such kind of issue we already informed to them 1month before for the feasibility check, after their confirmation we shifted our office to the new location, even they placed a connection box in our apartment after our permission, but finally he saying we don't have a feasibility to provide the new connection. What is the solution for this?.

Dear Sir, Earlier I used to get payment receipt from you through e-mail but the same is not getting since few months, for which I am troubling a lot to get reimbursement against submission of your receipt. Kindly arrange to forward recent payment of 30.01.14 and in future also kindly ensure to send on regular basis. Thanks & Regards G.M. Venu Gopal [protected]@hpcl.co.in

I was an Airtel customer for about 7 years for a number [protected]. I ported out this number on 16 Dec and paid bills upto 10 Dec. Subsequently I got bill with Zero amount for the period 11 Dec to 16 Dec. However, Airtel lateron started demanding Rs.622 as ontime charge for the period 20 Dec to 19 Jan when I was not using their service. Mails sent to them are unanswered.

Sir, I received a call on 02/02/14 at 10:49 AM from an Airtel number. It was a telemarketing call. The caller asked me about my Debit Card company, when I asked him about the reason, he just abused me and hung up. Since then, i am trying that number, but the calls on it have been diverted. I am not able to connect. It was an airtel mob no - [protected]. I request you to call the concerned party on which this number is registered and tell them about the incident. I am really embarrassed with this shameful and cowardly act of that caller. I want to notify his manager about it. Please do the needful, I will be heartly thankful to you. Charanjeet Singh Chahal.

This is with ref. to Account Number:[protected] I know this is probably the fifth time I am writing to you. However, this time it is a serious case and it has cost me my prestige and image. I would like to let you know that I am a 15 year old airtel customer. Ever since I was old enough to have a mobile phone, I had an Airtel Number. I have worked with IBM and Ericsson who are partners to Airtel. I had heard a lot about Airtel ad that it cared for its customers. To my surprise, this is not the case. I have recently moved from New Delhi to Hyderabad. I had placed a request for cancellation of my Delhi as I moved to Hyderabad on Nov 18. On Nov 19, I took a new number that very same day To my surprise, my Delhi number never got disconnected. And whats more surprising is that I didnt even get a SR number. My bill kept rolling and rolling and rolling. Yesterday, the worst thing happened. Airtel set over some of its so called agents, who I think were more of THUGS (from the way they spoke) over to my family back in Delhi. Whats more horrifying is that those men did not have the courtesy to ring the bell and walk up to the door. Those men were screaming from the road saying that "your daughter has not paid the bill" My mother called me up and she was almost in tears due to the embarrassment. I then spoke to the men and took their names. One Dinesh Kumar from Rohini (his mobile no. [protected]) and his friend Amit had come to my house. It was horrible the way he spoke. Its as if some thugs were sent home. I called up the airtel customer care and spoke to them and they demanded that I pay a sum of INR 5000 rupees. And I did. Today I made a payment for 2 months out of which 1 month I have not used my number. Plus there is an outstanding amount of INR 1383 which I WILL not pay under any circumstance. I and my family had to face this embarrassment because of Airtel. I am appalled at the behaviour of Airtel. I am seriously thinking of shifting to Vodafone, as they will not harass their customers. Ever since I have come to Hyderabad, I have been harassed to the maximum. If you are what you claim to be, I am sure you will take this seriously and you will make the the effort to do something to compensate for this embarrassment that you have caused to me and my family I am truly hurt and upset at the way Airtel has treated me yet again. If this is how you treat your old people, how do you treat your new customers.
