Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir, On 9/03/2014 I called AIRTEL customer care executive to enquire about Dynamic IP Internet Broad band connection plan and tarrif as I am an existing customer. As I cannot jump directly to DYnamic IP broad band so thought to enquire few things. The PLAN and TARRIF. The Customer care by name Mumtaz spoke and made me to wait by saying the system is slow. And later asked for my account no. as i did not kept i told to give me 2 minutes time and gave. Initially she told me that 16mbs speed is there then i asked for 4 mbs and its rate and later asked for 2 mbs and its rate. As a customer i would like to go for lowest rates as my income depends on internet. Although she gave me full reqired information, as I was about to dsiconnect she was commenting to her collegues saying "ABBA KYA DIMAK KHAYA RE...". She could have commented after disconnecting the call. As i over heard the comment it deeply hurt me a lot. If the customer care does not have patients to answer then what is use. It is absolute hurting the customers mind next time we have to think 100 times to call a customer care service for any querry. Balaji [protected]

Respected Sir,
I hv been getting calls by some people posing as lawyers from the number and they say they are from Airtel.
I have settled the bill amount but they still keep calling me asking for payment of the bills originated after I disconnected the number.
Request you to pls bring this to their attention.
The number i hv been receiving calls from is [protected].

I have Airtel numbers [protected] and [protected]. I opted for activating a service pack of rs75 to make incoming call free in dec 2013. Then on 10th feb 2014 I requested to stop it. I got confirmation on same day that service has been stopped. But airtel is still charging Rs 75 in both my bills fraudulently. I tried to put complaints on their site bit it is not accepting any complaints. Please help me. Should I go to consumer court for this fraud?

Today (On 8th March 2014), I recharged my Airtel Prepaid Mobile number [protected], for an amount of Rs. 1000 /- . According to their website (https://pay.airtel.com/online-payments/prepaidResponse.do), this topup should have recharged my mobile with a Full Talktime of Rs. 1000 /-. However, only an amount of Rs. 887 /- was credited to the above-mentioned number. This clearly violates the Talktime Topup information that is being displayed on the website.


Request the Airtel Prepaid Customer Care team to get back to me on this and help me get back Rs. 113 /- credited to my mobile balance ASAP, without further delay, so as to not constrain me to escalate the matter to higher authorities.

Respected Sir/Ma'am I am Airtel Postpaid customer since last 1 & half year As per my tariff plan rental 249 per month i have free local 1000 min, 200 local & national sms & 200 MB Internet but since last 2 month ago company reduce my benefits without any intimation after i call to customer service executive said company send you confirmation sms but i had not received yet any sms from Airtel .

Hi TeamI have Airtel Digital TV Connection from last 3 years with ID [protected]. I am based out of Karnal, Haryana I have been facing constant problems every month on this and constant in touch with Airtel Customer Support executive Mr. Deepak (+91-[protected]). We have got so many things done including Dish direction/place change, tightening, cable/connectors issue, Set top box change etc. etc and still my connection is down from almost a weeks time. Customer support executive make false promises to come everyday but never shows up. I have lost so much money and time in customer care follow ups and calling them. I don't expect this kind of 3rd class from a reputed business house like Bharti Airtel, now i damn regret my decision to busy Airtel DTH everyday, i can say local DTH service provider in Karnal (Haryana) is much better in service and support then Airtel DTH.I have given all hopes on Airtel DTH and their bad (or i should say worst) service. I have already started talking to other DTH service provider and i should get this done may be within a week's time. But after all i am not going to leave this bad experience let go like this, i need answers from Airtel DTH customer service guys (if you have started hearing and caring for your customers). I am going to file a consumer court complaint if i didn't hear any reply in another 2 weeks time for sure.Warm Regards:Ajay Partap+91-[protected]/+91-[protected]

Dear Sir I also got the call from the same number ie[protected]. I have seen other compliants also from the same number but there has nothing been done from your side to resolve this. the earlier complaint was registered on january 24th and today is 8th march. A company like airtel has not been able to do anything about this number. I have changed my service from airtel to vodafone but i believe that airtel still own this number. Sumant Dubey

Inspite of me writing to Airtel again and again about the failed recharge I havent received any refund in my account. It has been a month.

Hi, As the subject of this complaint suggests I am a victim of Airtel's unfair data usage calculation and excessive charging for the 3G data usage and through this forum I would like to throw light on how the telecom major uses petty and cheap tricks to drain the last penny out of its subscriber's pockets. So what Airtel does is that it charges you for using 3G from your account balance even if you have 3G balance left in your data pack. And the worst part is that it is not a one time deduction this has been going on for a very long time now and they have been fooling their subscribers for quite some time. These deductions have happened with me on a regular basis and after getting totally frustrated by this I have decided to write this complaint as complaining to them on their stupid IVR is of no use as they keep your call on a perpetual hold. I have been an Airtel subscriber for ages now but I think the buck stops here. I don't think I need to stress on the importance of keeping the subscriber happy, as it is we are paying a bomb for the outdated 3G data packs when everyone else has moved on to better and faster technologies of data transmission and after all that to get cheated is the last thing a consumer wants. What I want from Airtel is to look into this matter and resolve it as soon as possible as these practices are hurting their credibility. I got robbed of 56 rupees due to their unfair policies in the last such instance, I know it's not a big amount but it is about ethics in the end. As a proof I have attached the snapshot of the last instance when my balance was deducted. Shourya Harwani [protected]

I am an existing Airtel subscriber on my cell phone. I wanted an Airtel 3G data plan for my iPad. I went to Moti Nagar, New Delhi Airtel office to get 3G connection. The person with a turban (Raman) gave a duplicate nano SIM for my cell number and said that this will make my iPad connection work. But what he did was create 2 SIMs with the same number. So when iPad SIM was activated my phone stopped working. I was charged Rs 25 for this duplicate SIM and on top of that Rs 99 for 300MB data plan. Customer care told us that 2 SIMs cant work on same number so we need to get a different number for iPad. Today we went back to the airtel office and asked to correct this. In order to re-activate our phone (solution was to give us a new phone SIM) we were charged Rs 25 again and now the Rs 99 plan is useless on this number because I already had data plan on my phone SIM. All it does is add the 300MB data on my phone connection (which I didnt want). Also, they say that Airtel doesnt have nano SIM for a new prepaid connection, so I ended up not having a data plan for my iPad. Now we have spent Rs 149 to get nothing. This is the Airtel representative fault for misguiding us and today because it was a different representative sitting they didnt refund us anything.

I performed an Online Recharge from my SBI bank account through paytm site, but by mistake I did a recharge on a wrong number. Instead of doing a recharge on [protected], I did a recharge for number [protected]. The details are as follows... Paytm order no:[protected] Date of recharge : 4 Mar'14 10:48 pm Recharge of Airtel Mobile [protected] Amount paid: ₹ 197 Success SBI Bank Transaction Id: [protected] I made a call to the Airtel customer care on the same day but they said they cannot do anything about the problem and that the money cannot be refunded to the account. I hope this problem will be looked into and dealt with quickly. Thanks & Regards, Deepak

Me recently ported to Airtel with company CUG plan. I just called customer care on date 2nd March at 3 AM and verified mine address proof they said it gets activated within 15mins but still not able to call or receive any call till now. I repeatedly called customer care and their default response is wait for 4hours but later its still not done from their side. Finally i got frustrated and spoked with floor specific manager and he said that it will be done within 4hours on 4th march at 12 PM and he said he gonna raise a ticket and send to some technical department but still its not done.
I hope airtel is not such eco-friendly with customers they just skipping by giving some random answers.

Hi, I have booked my airtel broadband connection online and paid security deposit Rs.500. Please find the attached acknowledgment for your reference, but when I call the call center of Aritel they says they do not have any information about my booking. It's very non sense how can they say when I have an acknowledgment and it's not reflecting in airtel systems. I need the connection immediately. Regards, Lokesh G +91-[protected]
