Airtel Complaints & Reviews

kindly note, Due to non-functioning of our digital network a complaint was launched by us and a service engineer named Sheikh (mob no. [protected]) came to our place. He made us buy an entire new dish and LMB and charged Rs.1200/- for the same. The network started working thereafter. However soon the dish was non-functional again and we called him up. He came but said he couldn't track the problem and asked us to make a new complaint. A fresh complaint was made (Ref. no.[protected] . This time a new service engineer named Taufiq (mob no. [protected]) came and claimed that neither the LMB was new nor was there any requirement for the new dish . Also, according to him some screw had been taken away. He charged us with Rs. 150/- as his visit. Presently we have a totally dismantled dish with an old LMB, a complaint for which I launched. Please take a quick and immediate action for the same. Kindly note the following mob nos. you may need to contact us : [protected]/ [protected]/ [protected]

Hi All, I recently purchased the 4G dongle no. [protected]. While showing the demo, their salesperson Amit used the same dongle that I bought. He was getting the speed of 20-22 Mbps and promised me that I will be getting same or atleast 15 Mbps. I showed him websites and forums that Airtel has capping of 10 Mbps but he kept on denying and assuring that if I receive speed less than 15 Mbps, I will be getting full refund of my dongle. I have attached the screenshot taken for speed test on that day on my laptop from his dongle. After activation of my dongle, I found out that speed rarely touches 10.5 Mbps. Whenever I tried calling Amit after, he continuously kept on cutting my calls. I have registered complaint no. 53392521 within an hour after activation of dongle. Customer Service center assured me that my complaint was on high priority and will be resolved by 23rd Oct with an update in 48 hours. On Monday, I again called customer care as I didn’t get update in promised 48 hours. They gave me another number 53418202 and again ensured me that my complaint was on high priority and will be resolved on 23rd Oct. Person named Pramod visited my house on Tuesday(22nd Oct) and concluded that Amit has lied to me and Airtel has capping of 10 Mbps. He said that Airtel will surely do something to help you and update you by tomorrow. I called today on 24th as no update was provided. I found that my complaint was closed as Amit lied this time to Airtel telling that my mobile is not reachable. I had been contacted by Airtel person Pramod, got activation call, call on detail information and even today someone from Airtel called me to check if I bought the dongle. How can these many reach to me? Amit won’t confess his mistakes and is making excuse that my cell is not reachable. I strongly need an action on this complaint. Thanks, Jatin

Dear Sir, Air tel stopped my internet services and claiming wrong generated bill, tried to cheat by not providing appropriate information regarding plans. Complaient Discription: I called to 12118 for 199 (2 GB plan with unlimited data) pack activation on 12 Oct for internet use. But 199 pack not activated by Airtel, on 18th I got a SMS and mail from 121, that you used 800 MB and its near to end of your 01 GB plan(previously activated plan), than again I called to 121 for 199 pack activation and I briefed him issue I had on internet plan last month. He activates 199 pack and tried to brief me on 199 plan, then I said I know the 199 plan because I got all plan detail from 12118 service. My service closed 19th Oct and 22nd Oct, the explanation given to me that your last data plan closed in between month that was a pro-data plan so your used excess data, and they said to pay rs 2900/- resume services, The issue in plan changes not shred with me by airtel representative, on 21st oct during my conversation with a airtel Team leader, he said your service will resume soon, and issue will be handled during bill generation. My internet services closed again, pl see why airtel is behaving like unprofessionally and anti-customer company. thanks vipin [protected]

Airtel customer care sells personal details for money. I already raised a complaint about airtel employees selling personal details to people they know...After that i got a call from airtel delhi a lady spoke to me and told me it cannot be done by airtel employee...I too believed and i never bothered...Again its happening a person who shows my msgs and call history of mine to a 3rd person...That person came and told me that a person who is having my all my message details and call history in his hand...He saw that a person from airetl customer care sent him all details that what time to which no. I got message, what time i replied how many messages i sent, how many message i got from which no, how many hours i spoke to particular no.Etc... Note: already airtel person spoke to me and told that is not possible and they are safeguarding their employees... 1. I spoke to an airtel ex-employee and asked about it he said it can be easily done and they can see all details that what time what message sent, received, called, received call, what no.Etc... 2.He also told me that even they can see and read all messages what and all i received and i sent to whom and what by just raising a mail that the higher heads telling that customer is fighting for message charges etc... 3.He is clear that if you complained they have to find who logged in to get my details but simply airtel is avoiding and protecting their employees... 4.Its conform that airtel customer care sold my details unofficial and the ex-employee told me to get that person and give complaint airtel can find out easily that who logged in to get my details... 5.He also told me to raise complaint to dot... If anybody faced same problem please contact me and join with me lets complaint and save all persons who are all tapped illegally... D.Deshakumar mob no.[protected] mob no. [protected]

Issue1 : 3G services deactivated automatically.

Issue since: Past 2 days.

Issue 2 : Unable to send text messages

Issue since: January 08, 2013.

As per my conversation with Mr. Shaikh Salim Javed on October 22, 2013 I have been informed that I have called up and deactivated my 3G services and my text messaging services are working fine.

I had called in 3 days back to deactivate my BB plan as I had my BB phone for 10 days and the plan didnt need to be renewed. It got successfully deactivated. I received an instant text message for the same. Then after 3 days, suddenly my active 3G service gets deactivated suddenly.
Mr. Shaikh Salim Javed tells me that I had requested it while I called last time, however it was for BB services and the adviser clearly understood what I wanted and did the right thing by deactivating my BB plan accurately. Due to a system error AIRTEL deactivated my 3G and now they are saying it would not be activated.

FYI, my 3G services were my replacement for instant messages through the internet as you were never able to fix my services for an SMS to be sent out which has been active since the start of the year. This year I haven't sent an SMS at all what so ever. Not even one.

I have no option but to leave AIRTEL however to get a PAC i need to send an SMS, and not to surprise you, but my SMS services are not working.

I have had to worst service from AIRTEL till date. I have been a customer for more than 8 years on 2 other connections.

In the past years, I have found services been activated without request, deactivated without request and so on and so forth. This is a loot business being run.

The kind of customer services I have received, I would wish to be a terrorist and blow up every employee working for AIRTEL without even thinking once about their kids and family as whenever I speak to any of them, they just bog you off. Tell you that they cant do anything. Whats happening has happened, and cant change. Cant activate services. Don't have manager generally.
Circle team would call, never called as I have tried to call 10 times for the same issue and then finally given up.

I swear to GOD, I wish every employee who takes salary from AIRTEL would meet with an accident

I am using Airtel Prepaid. To make calls frequently to other airtel mobiles, i put booster or rate cutter plan. It is 97 for 28 days.(previosuly it was 30 days). Now they introduced new cheating plan in this rate cutter, mentioned that we have to call daily first call to some other number min of 2 mins. For that call rate cutter charges will not apply. Normal charges per sec 1.5 p/sec. So, we have to put 97 rate cutter additonaly to make active that stupid rate cutter, we ahve to call 2 mins daily(spend min Rs.2), then what is the use of this stupid plan ?.

Dear Airtel...what are you thinking about the customers.. I submitted the documents to convert my Postpaid connection to prepaid connection regarding to number [protected] in chennai velachery, they gave me a new SIM.After that I got the signal of new SIM after "1 month". The I dialled to 59059 for confirmation around "25 times" but it is not activated yet to now... If you not able to serve to all customers then stop new customers, why are you playing existing customers ??
