Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Last day i brought a paper recharge coupon for my airtel number [protected] and accidentally wiped out some numbers on it while scratching to reveal the pin.I was trying to get my pin correct and then airtel barred me from recharging .Whenever i try to recharge,it tells me that i have been barred from the service.Fix this problem as soon as possible so that i can continue using my airtel sim.I am greatly dissatisfied on the quality of recharge coupons provided by airtel.

I was facing some problems with the set top box of the AIRTEL DISH TV on the nights of 15th may,2013. I had contacted the local head office([protected] and [protected]) of the airtel in guwahati on 16th May,2013 and gave a complain about the same. A serviceman([protected]) came to my house, checked everything and finally told me that the set top box is defected and he will be replacing the set top box by day after tomorrow. As there was no contact from their side on 18th May ,2013 So I had called back them and they told me that they had not received any complain.So i gave a complain again on 18th May. Again there was no response from them after 24 hours. This time I had given another complain in the customer care service ([protected]). The customer care executive told me that I will get my new set top box on 20th May,2013 at 4 o'clock.But after waiting for 26 hours, as there was no response , I have called again and the representative told me that it will be replaced by today evening at 7 o'clock and gave me the local representative's phone number.But when i called back to that number the representative picked up the phone and told me that he'll call me back. After some time he called and told me that he will replace it by tomorrow and reacted very badly.

Hi,

I had applied for a new Airtel DTH connection on 13th May 2013 with booking id: 211927. But the installation has n't happened till yet(by 21th May 2013).

As per first communication the installation was supposed to be done within 72 hours.
I have been following up for this everyday 2-3 times but each time i am getting false promise from the Airtel customer care to do that in next 2-3 hours.

I feel i am cheated and these guys in Airtel customer care are so irresponsible.

Please help me.

Thank you so much in advance.

Now the data card is disabled and daily getting call from Airtel Customer care people , Collection Dept for the payment.

This morning I received a series of messages from Airtel saying "Thank You for choosing HELLO TUNES SUBSCRIPTION on your airtel mobile. You have been charged RS. 60 for 90 days and your account balance post charging is xxx at 10:51" and "Thank You for choosing HELLO TUNES SONG on your airtel mobile. You have been charged RS. 15 for 90 days and your account balance post charging is xxx at 10:51." Moreover, this is not the first time that such a ridiculous thing has happened to me. Thus I expect a refund of Rs 75 at the earliest, an apology and a guarantee that this will not place again.

I am back after 16 months now with the same issue. This time again my IPTV connection has stopped working and now I realize that Airtel still stands at the same place where they were about 2 years back. Nothing has changed here.

First ticket was raised on 11th May[protected] and as i expected with my previous experience's with Airtel, ticket was closed without any notification (very frustrating).

Anyhow,...

I am using airtel prepaid connection in kolkata.I requested for porting out of airtel.I received a call from an executive asking me the reason for the port out.I told him reason is tariff.He then told me he is temporarily giving me a tariff of 40 paise local call per minute.I told him i need second pulse tariff not minute plus.He promised me airtel will call me and offer a good second pulse tariff within a few days. he then cancelled my porting id and requested me to stay with airtel.But till date i haven't received any call.I am highly disappointed with airtel and will opt for porting out.

Dear Sir,

I Anupam Anurag Kerketta had taken a Airtel Datacard (mobile number [protected] bearing a/c [protected]) in the month of July 2012. The data card was used by me for a period of 15 days. I retained the datacard for any emergency, therefore even though it was unused, the bills for the same was paid be me on time every month till October. The company did not send me a bill for the month of November, hence the bill could not be paid. In the month of December I received the bill with a penalty for not paying the previous months bill on time.

On contacting the customer care of Airtel, the executive failed to acknowledge the faulty of Airtel, he asked me to pay the amount and asked to call back to get the penalty amount reversed. I asked him for a written communication for this, but he refused to send me an email or a sms for the same. To cross check the process, I called the customer care center again, the remedy told me to was different from what was told to me earlier. This happened a couple more time when i called to follow up on the procedure.

In the mean while i started getting calls from Airtel for the payment of the bills, some calls were even threatening in nature. After having received these calls i decided to not pay the outstanding bill of the datacard till the company gave me the process to be followed in writing. This has been communicated to over 20 customer care executives who have called me and for that matter even their managers. The datacard is in suspended status since December 2012 with two months bills not paid for.

A week back i received an email from Airtel stating that the outstanding bill was 2191.26 and if the same was not paid they will initiate a case in the Lok Adalat. Replying to the email sent by Airtel I wrote Back the following:

1) It is totally unacceptable to penalize the customer for the fault/errors of the personnel in Airtel.
2) It is totally unacceptable for a customer care executive to be rude and unapologetic for their tone of voice on a call when talking to a customer who has been penalized for errors committed by the company.
3) I got different communication from different customer care executives when I followed up for a remedy process, clearly shows that there are no set process to fix issues caused by mistakes committed by Airtel personnel.
4) As of December 2012, the account has been suspended and no bill has been sent for the same. Can you please tell me how does the bill value increase for suspended connections.
5) I had a similar problem with Airtel when I was in Delhi, I was asked to pay when no bill was generated. The connection was terminated and was not restored till l emailed Mr. Sunil Bharthi Mittal expressing my disappointment regarding the service that his company has been providing. The bill value generated was less than 50% of what I was asked to pay during the middle of the billing period.

If you are going to be sending me a letter from Lok Adalat, please go ahead. I will also initiate similar legal proceedings from my end to ensure that my interest as a customer who has been penalized by errors committed by personnel in Airtel are protected. Since Airtel representative have already made threatening calls which have been recorded on my device, it should not be a problem to show case the unprofessional service that has been provided by the company.

Airtel has now sent me an email stating that a Lok Adalat case has been registered for the amicable settlement of the case. On calling Ms. Preetha, the contact mentioned in the email, the response was as always rude.

I would like your assistance in taking this case legally to ensure that the rights of the consumers are protected when the company providing its services commits errors and penalizes the customer for the same.

Regards,
Anupam
