Airtel Complaints & Reviews

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.

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.

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

I am an Airtel Landline customer for past seven years having Airtel No.[protected] in my Business firm called Indus pharma, 50/A, South car street, Nagercoil, Kanyakumari District, Tamilnadu, 629001.The above said phone number connection is inactive for last two days and our repeated calls and complaints to the local service people have no effect or even no response at all.we have called the following numbers[protected] and [protected] for more than ten times from yesterday itself and nobody turn up.It may be the wiring line fault or instrument fault.But the Airtel landline local service people who attending the phone simply saying unwanted reasons and delaying the action. Also we want to bring your attention that the phone instrument lost the display one year back and that too intimated to the local Airtel office at Chettikulam, Nagercoil and till date no response or reply. I am a pharmaceutical Distributor and I hope you may understand the difficulty of the inactive of a regular use phone connection in a business firm.I hope I will get an immediate remedy . Thanking you. P.Jayakumar
