Airtel Complaints & Reviews

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 ??

You guys at Airtel have to improve your services that you offer on your website, or else you will lose customers in droves... The competition is getting stiffer by the day. What provokes me to write this is that I visited your website to check my last five transactions five minutes ago. The entries I found there are two days old! Be smart and pull up the people who manage your site.

HI, I did a recharge of 449rs for my Airtel prepaid datacard on September 21st 2013. I didn't get the recharge. The amount is not yet refunded to my account. There is no problem from bank side. Please check the details and revert me back. Mail Id: priyadarsini.[protected]@gmail.com

I am having hard time in getting my 4G connection activated. I bought data card on 13th Oct, 2013 and verification was done on 17th Oct, 2013. But still when I call customer care, I am told verification details are not yet updated. And told to talk to the vendor/agent who has provided the dongle (in my case, its Goodwill Networks). Agent told me that there is some issue which they are trying to sort out and already have written to the channel manager. I am not sure what the issue is and why is it taking so much time to sort this out. I have already spent lot of time calling either the customer care or agent, but to no avail. 4G SIM no: [protected] Agent/Vendor: Goodwill Networks (Mob- [protected],[protected]/149) Regards, Jusvinder Singh

I am highly disappointed with the kind of Broadband service I have been getting for past 3 months. I have logged several complaints in Airtel call center for user id [protected]_dsl.

Earlier the problem use to get corrected in 4-5 days whereas the SLA is for 72 hrs I guess. This time Airtel service team has taken more than 25 days and still the problem is not rectified. Every day I get a call from one of your executive asking for "whether the service has been restored or not". This really frustrating when executive doesn't even know if anything has been done to rectify the problem still they call up the customer to check whether the service is restored or not. Today received a mail to pay my monthly bill, the executive was asking to pay the monthly rental bill for the services which were not provided by airtel. As per my understanding I should only pay for the services and not for just keeping connection in my house. Also I have been doing a continous follow up with Airtel to get services rectified. Can you people help me in getting this issue setteled.

I have an airtel broadband of 8gb limit/month. every month it happens my data usuage suddenly increased and i dont even used it. my billing cycle starts from 17th of every month. Its like 3-4 days today and wen i got an email saying u hv reached 80% o[censored]r limit, i was like wth i didnt used it that much. i only downloaded an update of ard 215mb. i didnt even watched videos on youtube. i only surfed websites. and it says i used more than 7 gb . thats like airtel is stealing .people used to say airtel is a thief and now i know exactly why they said like that. its bad and pathetic service. such low limit and that too exhausts without using it. it always happens but i didnt noticed, but this time i was careful and still it happened, please i[censored] are thinking of getting an airtel aroadband service dont get it, its pathetic. i am thinking of getting it disconnected tomorrow morning. i have had enough of this nonsense.

I have applied for a broadband connection by on-line paying 49 rupees (don know for what) on Oct 5 and there was a free WiFi router for on-line purchases. Airtel promised for 48 hours SLA but there were no calls from their end. After few complaints I got a call on Oct 16, executive said I have to pay 1400 Rs for wifi router. When I called the customer care, they are also saying I have to pay 1400 Rs. Very bad service from Airtel. I am not going to receive that 49 Rs back. Beware of Airtel.

Dear Sir/Madam. My Airtel 3 G Internet Data Card Number : [protected] Airtel Replation Shipnumber : [protected] For Month of Sep- 13, Bill Amount: 2250/- indicated against ceiling Rs.750/- AIRTEL needs to correct this. Checked with customer care for so many times, but no response yielded. My Contact Number: [protected] Request revise the bill amoutn as per plan and not charge any late payment charges as delayed due to their reasons.

I have an Airtel Fixed Line connection ([protected]_dsl) on which I was experiencing few technical problems since last few days.

In attempt to resolve the issue I had called AirTel on Monday, 14th Oct, 2013 at around 11:30 pm. The call was attended by Syad khaizar Alam.

At the inception of the call the agent was extremely rude and unprofessional. He was not ready to listen to the problem and kept interrupting while I was speaking. Further, while I requested for some one else to take the call I was kept on a long hold stating there is no floor supervisor available. Please confirm the genuinity of this statement.

After addressing the problem and seeking an expedited solution the agent reverted that it is not possible and the engineer will report as per complaints lodged. Post the call I did not receive any service message. Following this I called AirTel customer service next day morning to learn that no complaint was registered. If no complaint was registered why was I committed that engineer will visit for issue resolution? And why was the complaint NOT REGISTERED?

I want to register a complaint against the mentioned customer service agent on account of
1. Unprofessional and rude behaviour,
2.Failure to register a fault service request and
3.Giving false commitment.

I would like to take strong exception to the way Airtel India treats its mobile subscribers who visit its website for different services. To begin with, the site takes a long, long time to open. And once it opens, for each service there is another long wait. Sometimes, the pages don't open at all, wasting our valuable time. For instance, if one visits the 'My Airtel' page and click on any of the services under 'Manage Services', you virtually go mad. Nine out of ten times, you get ridiculous responses such as: 'The page is unavailable', 'service exception...' or some other nonsense in red letters. And when you finally get through to some service such as 'Last 5 transactions', what you get is two or three-day old entries. I wonder what their so-called Customer Care Department does the whole day. What Airtel must understand is there are dozens of other operators in the country and their subscribers can easily choose any one of them.

hi,


I have ordered for a dongle in airtel site on 8/10/13. Next day I got call from providers telling they are from airtel and lady named "Shilpa" with no. [protected] told they will deliver dongle on Thursday before 7. I have waited and around 7 i called back she asked for applogys and told I will get on Friday before 1. Somehow I got it on around 2.30. I got dongle and as per my plan 3g postpaid rep. gave sim. Shilpa called again and told Saturday I will get verification and get activated in evening. Saturday one guy came to home around noon and did verification. After that I am calling shilpa for the 10 digit no she is not picking call. next three days her phone was off. On Tuesday i called her not picking. Entire day I called her and some how she picked call and told will give 10 digit no. but no luck. No more response. Wednesday I called her again not picked. But after a long she messaged with 10 digit no([protected]). I called airtel custm care for activating. They told details not yet submitted. I called back she never picks. I called touch Point service no [protected] and one lady Radha was told she is from admin section . She will get back. She told that sim was blocked and she made request to head and 100% it will get activated before 8clock. Is it good to provide a customer with blocked sim and not supporting or even answering the call. No luck that day also not activated. Today I called her she is telling within 3clock it will get activated. But no luck. Airtel customer care telling same reason to submit data and get back with touch point services.

I am asking to get refund. Radha is telling she dont know the reason why it is like this.If other sim if provided all verification process has to be done again. Why to get into trouble with them again. so told to refund. Radha told she will send people to tomorrow



Touch point customer support service is too bad and horrible. They are very apt to get money and after that no support. I have wasted my 4 days wasting calling them, Please take necessary action so that no body should not get in to this trouble further. I am not sure they will refund me back. It is so horrible to waste time like this. They should have at-least respond back with updates no??
