Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir, Airtel is testing our patience and nobody is calling or solving my problem. Yesterday when I called Bangalore customer care, they were forced to book a complaint no 53526799 and was assured that my data card would be activatedby 6 PM today. But nothing has happened and again when we called the customer care, the concerned Manager says that our address verification had been rejected without giving proper reason. We live in our own flat and the verification agent came to our house on 24/10/2013. He assured that the data card would be activated by 25/10/2013. But nobody in Airtel is serious about acting on our complaint. If the issue is not resolved immediately now, we will be approaching the consumer forum demanding suitable compensation from AIRTEL for their irresponsive condition. Please whoever responsible, ACT at once to avoid further complication.

We are awaiting the activation of the 4G-LTE Dongle not any cell SIM. Again and again you are responding in an improper way and trying to buy time. Please note that if you are not going to activate by tomorrow, we don&apos;t need your service. Please instruct your official outlet, Talk Guru at Malleswaram, Bangalore to take back the Dongle. Please confirm by return mail since matter is urgent. Mr. Sushil Joshi: You also seem to be avoiding the issue instead of resolving it. We really don&apos;t know what comment you posted in Complaint.com site. Either your Appellate or Senior Management of Airtel should intervene and take suitable action at once. Regards, M.

Hi Sir/Madam,

This is not my first compliant about Airtel. I have been using airtel for the past 6 years. I have recently bought 3 post paid Airtel connections([protected], [protected], [protected]) with CUG Rs.149/- monthly plan service. I have been using these new connections for about 1 month. Then last week 22/10/2013 (tuesday) i went to Airtel office at Chrompet branch to submit my bill amount in order to continue the services. After then i got a call from Airtel on saturday and they said that as per your request 3G internet plan is activated in your mobile. I shocked and replied them that i have not requested for 3G, even mobile wont support 3G internet. But they have not accepted my words and they said that you have to contact airtel customer care. then i compliant in Airtel customer care saying that how could you activate 3G internet service without my knowledge. The customer care girl said that we are sorry for that mistake, we will disconnect that 3g service. But i asked them to send me mail as apologize. Because i need to get proof of your mistake otherwise will go to consumer court to complaint about this cheating. I have suffer like this kind of cheating many times and i complaint customer care to stop paid services unless i activate it. But Airtel keep on do this cheatings. Please make necessary step to justify with enough compensation of these cheating done by Airtel.

Thanks,
Mohamed Sheik,

I recharged online of Rs. 57 (30 paise Local and 40 paise for 56 days), but they discontinued this scheme in 28 days. I called customer care many times but they say wait we are connecting your call to our senior executive but after 5-10 minutes call get disconnected. Its really a harassment. Plz do needful. My mobile no. is [protected].

I applied for a post paid number portability from Tata Indicom to Airtel postpaid on[protected] at Airtel Center, Porur, Chennai. Its been 13 days as of today and nothing has happened. I have called the customer care every other day and have gone in person to the Airtel center, Porur. The response from customer care number is contact the center where you applied and the Airtel center gives a constant reply that it will be done in another couple of days. Do Airtel realize that the MNP code expires by tomorrow (30-Oct-13) and I will be left with no other option after that ? This is completely a frustrating experience. I have been using Airtel for my broadband, DTH and even mobile service previously for more than a decade. Now I have to reconsider everything I guess. Can someone in the Airtel help me out by today? Details : Mobile number : [protected] MNP code: TT797511 Alternate mobile number : [protected] -Muthuselvan

Thank you

Contineous warning by AIRTEL DTH Servive Through SMS to my MOBILE for STOPPING OF DTH SERVICE .
I have recharged my Airtel DTH A/C No. [protected] with MEGA PACK 6 MONTH PAID RS./INR 2110/- ON 18/07/2013.Date of EXPIRY OF PLAN IS 17 JANUARY 2014.Kindly help.

I am a 5 years old customer of Airtel prepaid service. On Thursday, 24th October, 2013 I have got a message from airtel that

"As per Govt. directives, we have not received your valid documents for your airtel mobile, please submit your form, photo, ID & address proof within 72 hours at airtel showroom to avoid discontinuation of services."

but my number [protected] is not just deactivated, but it is deleted on Friday, 25th October, 2013 morning. When I visited to outlet on Saturday, 26 October 2013 to submit my documents which was still under 72 hours, I got that my account and details has been already deleted and not any information is available.

So, another SIM card has been provided, and assured me that we have taken the request for recreation of my account and it would work on same day as soon as possible.

Now Its Monday, 28th October 2013 and my number is still not in service. When I have called to customer care they have said that we have no any details and may be you are not using this no. for a long time although my no. is very frequently used before the deactivation.

I am suffering a lot due to this irresponsible service want to claim Bharti Airtel, Chandigarh for these kind of consumer service.


Warm Regards,

DEAR SIR, AS PER ABOVE SUBJECT, OUR MOBILE NO. IS [protected].(POSTPAID CONNECTION).I WAS RECHARGE MADE FOR RS.299 OF INTERNET 2G AND 3G RECHRGE MADE, BUT AIRTEL SYSTEM NOT UPDATE AND BILL GENERATE OF RS1150 AND 900.SO PLEASE WAIVE CHARGES, THANKING YOU HEMANT SURANA [protected]

My nightmare started the day I got an Airtel service for broadband. My no is [protected] a) They are the most expensive amongst competition, but considering I have an association with Airtel since a long time (as I have Airtel no. as well as Airtel DTH), I have had no issues with Airtel service b) While Airtel claims a free modem along with the connection, the modem can only connect 4 devices. Reason: Security (I think Banks / ATMs should shut as Airtel has arrived with the strongest security tool! (pun Intended) Which means previously their systems were easily hackable. Hail Airtel!) c) I frequently started to face problems with erratic login error, inspite of putting right details. I had reset the router multiple times, for it to not show me the error and connect. Till my wifi stopped connecting at all, and I complained yesterday. d) CS from Airtel called and stated he is reseting from his end and I would not face this again e) Well! It happened within 24 hrs again, I have already resetted dozen of times, just to make the damn thing work. f) So called the CS no. as it wasnt working. I did not have my details handy like landline no. so requested the CS guy to pls trace my details, as he already has my mobile no. Strangely the CS from Mobile division managed to give the details, but when he transferred the landline dept. the CS asked the same detail again. He refused to budge till I have my details. I think Airtel has not taught something like 'database search' to their team. When asked to transfer to his senior, he stated no one is available. On asking his details, he stated his name is Subash Chandra. Ofcourse Airtel thinks customer is a fool! I dont think Airtel needs adamant fools in their CS, who are good for nothing! I have no time to entertain any more engineer visits and one more time my screen flashes 'Login Error' I would be filing a complain against Airtel, in Consumer Court for mental harassment, baiting me for a cheap modem and acquiring me as customer. I would also be pretexting my case for giving me hard time to finish my business commitments. Such companies should be taken to task, So I would also be approaching media to cover a story on how such companies should be out of business.

This is my humble request to you that I am a bonafide customer of Bharti Airtel. I regret to inform you that I had been using prepaid Vodafone [protected] for 6 yrs.One day its customer executive came to me and showed me airtel executive 100 - pb(coprative) plan which I liked very much plan feature are given below :-
500 minutes pm any network(free),
500 sms L+N any network (free),
to airtel mobile 10p/min
to other mobile 0.5/min
to landline 1/min due to that I ported my vodafone number to airtel postpaid in February, 2013 till August they provided its services according to plan which had given to me, but all of sudden they have changed my plan without informing me so it is very shocking for me.you are request to solve my problem and resume my previous plan which has been implemented otherwise I am going to disconnect my number as well as other numbers which are using by my family members. I shall be very grateful to you for this act of kindness.
yours faithfully

Hi, we in my family using more than 5 airtel postpaid connections and 3 prepaid. Paid all the bills in time. I've some dispute with my post paid # [protected] so I've asked customer care to deactivate the services. Some Mr. Ravindra called me from the number +91 [protected] from airtel DSA for last bill payment. We come on common point to pay Rs. 1500 and he promise to send me the No dues letter. I paid the amount by cheque # 175838 (HDFC). more than 2 months passed but I did not received the no dues letter on my mail given to him. Now again I continuous receiving the calls from airtel DSA to pay Rs. 1200 again with the No. [protected] and the guy said he will disturbing me and my relatives until I pay the rest amount. I've lots of mental harassment's because of this and could not concentrate on my office works. The last option I have to contact consumer forum on the same. Please look into the matter and resolve the issue. Thanks & Regards Priyesh Mishra Mo. [protected] E mail : priyesh.[protected]@gmail.com

I was using Airtel Broad band Airtel Acccount Number 14867864 back in 2010 to 2012 which i disconnected and all final bills were settled. Airtel however claims that the bills were generated even after disconnection and i am supposed to pay. They have also shared my contact detail with third party recovery agents who pose as lawyers and keep calling. As such airtel service is pathetic and to add to that now they have stooped down to such levels of hiring goondas on behalf of them. Extremely unprofessional approach.

Hi, Our Airtel broadband & land-line isn't working since Oct-11th.We register multiple complains with airtel authority but its of no use.Some time we are getting call from airtel office they are fixing the issue in 24 hours.Till now we are waiting when the 24 hours will be over.After 14 days till now neither landline nor the broadband is working. This is really disgusting, this kind of service can be expected from BSNL not from Airtel. This is our landline no[protected] complain nos are->[protected]th oct),[protected]th oct),[protected]th),[protected]th oct). We dont have clue when we will get back the service. Partha

I have read several complaints about Airtel's non-responsive, uttely non-user-friendly website. I too experienced it today. I visited 'My Airtel' for my last five transactions. Here is what the page read: Server Error Access Manager WebSEAL could not complete your request due to an unexpected error. Diagnostic Information Method: POST URL: /prepaidaccount/PSC_Web/RechargeL5DViewAction.action Error Code: 0x38cf04d3 Error Text: DPWWA1235E Could not read the response status line sent by a third-party server. Possible causes: non-spec HTTP headers, connection timeout, no data returned. This is not a problem with the WebSEAL server. Solution Provide your System Administrator with the above information to assist in troubleshooting the problem. [BACK BUTT I tried several times with the same result. Airtel should either get out of the Internet system or do something drastic to improve their website.

I am Tarun Reddy from Andhra Pradesh. My Mobile no is [protected], which I am using from past four years.I have recently applied for postpaid connection on 3rd Oct, 2013 which had to be ported from idea prepaid to airtel postpaid.Even after 4 weeks of time my number is not ported or converted to postpaid.I have reported the problem to the agent who came of service for connection registration, he says the number is ported and then converted to postpaid and everything is fine, but New SIM card when inserted shows "limited service" message.I tried contacting him again and he is not responding now.This shows the height of negligence the agents show towards their customers and all they need is their commission.I spoke with other two executives and they didn't give any response as if it is not their duty.I managed to get the numbers of local area senior executive and a team leader with whom I spoke of the same problem.They said that they fixed the problem and there would be no issues after 24 hours.And even after 5 days of time the number is not ported and I'm still using the same old IDEA SIM. Now these people are also not answering the calls.I say these people very irresponsible, incapable and unfit for their positons.Airtel heads and officials should take absolute care in recruiting their agents and executives which otherwise will definitely effect the company's reputation in a very bad way.Thank you.

I’ve 2 Airtel numbers: [protected], [protected]. I had applied for these 2 numbers to be in the same CUG group at Infosys Mysore campus but when I received the bill, I see that all the calls between these 2 numbers are charged. I went to Airtel outlet in Infosys Mysore campus and registered a complaint but your representative calls me up and tells me that Parent ID is not updated and I’ve to send another request with ID proof to add these 2 numbers to CUG group. I do not understand how is it a customer’s mistake that Parent ID is not updated. Clearly one of your staff member has done the mistake so it’s your responsibility to fix it ASAP and revise bills for both the numbers. All the ID proofs have already been submitted at Infosys Mysore campus Airtel outlet. So please get all the required docs from your people and fix the problem. Also, send the revised bills. Thanks & regards, Vishal.
