Airtel Complaints & Reviews

We have purchase a Airtel postpaid 3g data card[protected] on the name of Company but the number was missed by the emp so we email to [protected]@in.airtel.com for disconnection on 31st Oct 2012(ref[protected]

we get the reply final bill will be generated on 23.11.12 . and we have paid that amt on 10th Dec to cheque no. 006419 rs. 1068 but they didn't disconnect the number and send us continue bills.

For getting full and final settlement we had a conversation with the executive (Airtel) they tell us to pay final payment Rs.2237 they also send us sms on 5th mar for paying the same amount BUT AFTER PAYMENT THEY RELEASE ANOTHER BILL FOR PAYMENT .

THEY ARE JUST ANNOYING US FOR PAYMENT BY CALLING AGAIN AND AGAIN.

When I again sending them a cancellation request on 4.4.13, they send us reply for paying again Rs.1586.98 (Reference number[protected] and next bill generate on 23.4.13.

AIRTEL IS SUCH A FRAUD THEY PROVIDE U POSTPAID AS IMMEDIATELY AS THEY CAN BUT AFTER IT NO ONE CAN LISTEN YOU. NO ONE GIVE THE PROPER RESPONSE.

THEY JUST CHEAT THE CUSTOMER WE HAVE SUFFER A LOT BECAUSE OF THEM.

PLS DO THE NEEDFULL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

I purchased an airtel digital tv on April 21, 2013 in my name (Vikrant Sharma – [protected], [protected](brother’s number- alternate contact)) for Rs. 2290. My id is [protected].

At the time of purchase, I was promised the following:
1) I will get a 250 cash back in my airtel digital tv account for future recharges.
2) I will get free naaptol and ebay coupons.
It’s already been over 15 days today, still there is no credit made in my account.
I contacted the customer care at [protected] to register a complain for the same on Apr1, 2013. The agent told me that a complain has been registered and the case has been forwarded. It will be resolved soon. But nothing was done till now.
Then, I contacted again yesterday (Apr 9, 2013) at around 12.45pm. I was told that within 1 hour some senior fellow will contact me to resolve the issue. I waited till 2pm, but no call !! I again contacted at 2.15pm and asked why was there no call and why is there no credit has been made. The lady said “Please stay on line, I’ll be back”. SHE NEVER CAME BACK and then after around 8-9 minutes on hold, the call was cut by them !!
Then I again called, again explained the issue to the guy. He said I’ll arrange for a call within 2 hours and then said, “Please be online, I’ll connect you to some senior guy”. I don’t where he connected me, but, actually the phone was disconnected !! And still, those 2 hours are not completed !!

Till now, I neither did got any call from these fellows nor did I get my deserved cash back !!

I guess, they promise anything to make the fool of customers thinking “who will come to fight for a mere 250 !!”.

Hi, i had taken a number [protected] from Airtel past 7 years and suddenly they activated internet to my number without even informing me and claimed a bill amount of 5000+. As i am using dual sim phone and one more number of Idea is having internet i was thinking i was browsing with Idea number as Airtel didnt had internet. But all of a sudden they came back with huge amount of bill which i cant pay. Also no one will be mad to use the internet without rental package, which they are not understanding. And they are threatening that they will take action on me on mails. Request to kindly help on this.

After that i am not paid the bill in this dispute second months is also over and second month's bill is mail me i had check my e-mail there is Rs.3,025 bill is come. i am again shocked.

Hello Airtel

I was using Airtel DTH with Customer ID: [protected] in Hyderabad,
India.Recently i have relocated my home in Hyderabad to some other location
so i need a technician from airtel side to reinstall my DTH .

I am writing this to you because I have contacted customer care for
Re-installation several time infact from last 15 days i am continuously
calling customer care number [protected] but every time i am calling they
are saying they will be sending the technician within 24 hrs but till now i
haven't seen any technician visiting my home.

And when i asked for escalation they are just putting my phone on hold.

This is really unacceptable and i am facing lot of difficulty in getting
such a small thing to be done.

if you can look into this then it would be great.

thanks,

I LIKE TO APPRECIATE AIRTEL DTH FOR A HIGH QUALITY MARKETING STRATEGY ADOPTED FOR ADD ON SERVICES!!! THEY ARE OFFERING (INCLUDING HIDDEN T&C) ATTRACTIVE PACKS FOR FREE OR ON A VERY LOW PRICES BUT AFTER SOME DAYS WHEN IT BECOME CHARGEABLE YOU MAY OPT TO DEACTIVATE THESE CHANNELS BUT FEEL AS DIFFICULT AS CLIMBING OVER EVEREST!!! AS I AM FEELING AFTER ACTIVATING A SPORTS CHANNEL TO WATCH IPL 5 .... STILL COULD NOT DEACTIVATED WHILE I ADDED ANOTHER TO WATCH IPL 6! .... WANNA ELABORATE .... WHENEVER TRIED OVER WEBSITE (MORE THEN 30 INSTANCE IT WAS WITH MESSAGE "DUE TO TECHNICAL REASON YOUR COULD NOT REGISTERED KINDLY TRY AFTER SOME TIME!) (HOW KIND A MAN CAN WHEN HIS POCKET BEING PICKED ???) OR TAB REMAINED INACTIVATED WITH MESSAGE..... CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE OR WITHOUT ANY MESSAGE IT CANT OPEN .... HOW GREAT WAY TO BEFOUL CIVILIANS!!!

Sir,
airtel prepaid service is illegally deducing my balance every week for last 4 weeks for sms service(Rs 11 every week).though i did not send even a single sms in last 4 weeks. i called customer care a lot of time,they says no value added service active in my mobile number. inspite of that they are deducing my balance every week. now, when i call for customer care executives,they are disconnecting my call. i lodged two complaints in comsumercomplaints.in in last 2weeks. customer care executive assured me it would not happen anain.but this is happening again.they sent me sms today saying sms service will be auto renewed in next 1 day with charges Rs 11. they even refunded my lost money for which i lodged complaints last week.

I had activated 23 rs data pack by request customer care. Service activated at the same time and I was able to use this service. But after 5 days It's automatically activated service without any prior information. I have talk to customer care for the regarding problem. But she didn't give me any solution that refund money and deactivated internet service. When I requested to talk to senior concern person then she hold my call for undefined time. I wait for more than 20 minutes but didn't talk to any person. Again I try to communicate customer care but I am not able connect my call.
Please give me the solution that how to resolve my problem.

I have been using airtel 3G dongle with 6GB plan since November. Through the airtel desktop app I used to check the daily usage.
Ever since I increased the plan to 8 GB which I did in feb or so, I am unable to get daily usage details. The request can be seen in outbox(apparently outbox is the sent items here), but I never get response.

I have been dealing with their customer care/technical support for the last two months no avail.
For the last month, though I have not used much(was on vacation for a week), for the last 4-5 days I got only 80 Kbps speed, because their records show I have exhausted my 8 GB limit.


Problems:

1) I get sub standard speed for no fault of mine. Despite several requests they are not providing a solution to let customer know the usage.

2) in fact they provide useless solution to drive traffic to their site by asking me to upgrade their app. This would have probably cost my 200-300 MB of my data. But end result same. I am not receiving the Response when I send the request through app.

3) because of their insensitive, sub standard service when my kid was unwell I was unable to work from home and have to take a couple of days off. ( or pay them RS. 300 for 100 MB which I could have g obbled in 2 hours)

4) even cheap android phones show the usage on a everyday basis. Why can't airtel app show the usage details on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Just that they want to cheat people by not letting them know about their usage.

I want the rental waived for last 2 months and until I have this resolved.
If they can't resolve it any soon, I want them to call everyday and tell me the usage.

Dear Sir,

Hi,

Please help me getting Airtel Mobile connection surrender. I went to Airtel 100 ft CMH Road, Indiranagar Bangalore showroom on 30th Mar 2013 to surrender the connection [protected]. There I was waiting more than 2 hours in queue then they said to clear the outstanding amount and call 121 ad they will take further steps towards disconnection. I tried calling more than 3 times that day from Bangalore. After that I went on tour to Delhi and must have called 10 times but everytime the executive arrange a call after 4 hours which never happened.

Please help I raised two tickets as well and requested for a call back if required. I'm not using the connection but the monthly bill is increasing day by day. I'm struggling to get this connection closed.

Dear Sir/Madam

In november 2012 I had applied for the airtel 3G datacard service (Internet Dongle ) .I subscribed for a package which would charge me Rs750 for 3GB and after 3GB 80 kpbs absolutely free.This ensured me my bill would not exceed rs 750.However when i received the call for verification they informed me a pack for 5GB at Rs750 is activated and after 5GB 3p per KB.So i went back to the airtel gallery asking them how did this happen .The person who had done my formalities for connection told me , its a mistake and they havent activated that package.They convinced me it will be sorted and sent a request for change of package .But next month i got to know still the pack hasnt been changed .Hence again I went to airtel gallery .He sent another request and told me not to bother it will get changed the next month ..However March 10 2013 my data services were suspended as my bill amounted to 2347 .For the next two weeks I was running to and from airtel gallery making calls sending emails.The airtel gallery officials were very rude to me ,being a lady they kept me waiting and throwing attitude and finally washed their hands saying theres nothing they can do to directly mail airtel. In my mail pleading for some kind of help as it is not my fault the wrong package has been activated . I was told an amount of 750 has been waivered and posted and another 400 will be waivered in month of april .However I recieved an sms again reminding me to pay my bill ,the waiver did not reflect hence i informed them .They confirmed the waiver will reflect in the bill .I got a call from airtel saying an outstanding amount of 1500 is pending to pay it off asap.Since I couldnt remain without an internet connection anymore I paid an amount of Rs1000 and my internet was restored . However yesterday ie. 6/4/2013 I was informed an outstanding amount of 2800 is pending and my internet is suspended once again .They claim there is no mistake in the bill .On the otherhand I have recieved paper bill of 3800.I am trapped in the game of airtel. Sick of calling their customer cares who keep diverting you to other numbers or keeping you on hold .Please help me
