Airtel Complaints & Reviews

i want my prepaid phone number [protected] call history.ang msg incoming details pls send me the call history msg incoming details to my email id [protected]@gmail.com

We have made cash payment of Rs.1824/-(Bill no:1345 and aitrel ID:[protected]) on dated 29th March 2013.The payment was personally collected from us by Aitel staff(Mr.Ajay).But at the time of installation the installation engineer (Mr.Rajat Das) of Aitel DTH told that it cannot be installed due to not reciving signal.So he told us to buy another DTH connection of other company.But when we asked him to return our money immediately he told us to talk to his head (Mr.Saiful Modi, Salt Lake Kolkata) .On conversation with regard to refund of our payment of Rs.1824/- he told that it will be refund after 24hrs or more .Since from many times we are approaching the customer care and calling they are not responding to us.If they dont installed anything then why are they not returing us our payment of Rs.1824/-immediately.Please take a strigent action against the Airtel company and its employees for cheating us and giving fraud and inconvience service.

My airtel 3G datacard number -[protected] ,plan Rs. 675, 3.125 GB was giving very slow speed from past 2 days. after sending mails and calling airtel consumer care number 10 times, they have not solved the problem. today airtel has barred my connection without informing. their customercare is pathetic.Want to know whta is the issue and when my connection will again start

Hi,

I have paid 1440/- for south ultra pack (1 month free) on Saturday morning (30th March 2013).

Ashish assisted and shared one link. On confirmation I paid through credit card.
As per sale person commitment same will be installed before on Sunday 6 P.M but till date no one called back on the status.

I made close to 40 to 50 calls to 12148, 12150 and [protected] ( Ashish, Lakshmi and Mustafa naming few people ) but no one able to provide basic information on my transaction id or customer numbers neither status. How pathetic the service ..

Worse part on customer care is disconnecting the call without answering my query neither they call back nor patient to stay on line to resolve my query . Finally I got some positive response from Rajesh and Ravi where they committed to install on 3rd April 2013. I am hoping at least issue will get resolved by 3rd April.

On making close to 50 calls to get the above said information it’s really pathetic. I request you to provide proper training to customer care people. At least provide the right information in first call. As a customer we are looking for response not resolution immediately.

My booking is : 193988 and mobile [protected]

It’s my personal experience calling 12148 or 12150 is useless.. No idea why they are keeping this as toll free number ..

Request you all to think before you make the payment, i am not very sure on other DTH service but airtel is worse.

Hello,

I have Airtel postpaid mobile connection. I am using Govt of Gujarat, CUG plan, before 5-6 month they changed plan of mine and few others who reside in my group. They suppose to change all people plan who belongs to same group, but they did partiality.

I did too much follow up them But I didn't get any success and I have to follow this step.

Please if feasible provide me justice.

Thanks,
Parixit Patel

recent reply to Airtel customer care id [protected]@airtel.in, issue not resolved in 1 years time. Would like to sales head for Hyderabad to have a look at below chain of mails.

Thank you for your email.
As mentioned earlier, i had given Airtel 24 hours time, you have failed to fix my issue, you no longer need to resolve my issue i will change my SIM in the next 48 hours.

Today i had 10 missed calls on my number from your customer care.i have other important work to do other then receiving your calls. Request you not to flood my mobile number and stop calling my number. Fix the issue if you can, if not leave it.I consider Airtel is incompetant in solving a simple issue over a period of one year.

i am not paid your helping airtel technical team to find the cause of the issue so request you to ask your technical team not to call me, i will change my SIM in the next 48 hours, if you can resolve my issue fix it and call me, not before that.

If you have a solution for me within the next 48 hours, i would consider your card, providedAirtel pays me compensation for the inconvenience caused, loss of mental peace, waste of my time and energy in making calls and receiving calls speaking to your customer care people.If not please do not waste your valuable time in resolving my issue.

Thank you for your efforts.

This is highly ridiculous i had make this complaint almost a year back and it
is still not fixed.

i had raised a complaint with airtel almost a year back on 15th April 2012 ,
saying i cannot make calls to any STD BSNL landline numbers.I got a from airtel
customer care saying it is resolved.



As on date 1st April 2013 i still cannot make STD calls, this is the limit.I
have been a loyal customer of airtel in the past 10 years inspite of changing
numbers and cities but this response it truly disappointing.

I expected much better service from a reputed telecom provider airtel. I think
its time i should switch to one of your competitors.

Airtel you are now forcing me to

Dear Sir,

1month before I purchased a 3G Airtel Dongle/data card. It was not activated for 4 weeks. After I put a complaint in this forum. The person who sold it to me came to my home and gave new sim card stating that old sim card has an error. Then new sim card was activated within 1day but internet speed is 0kbps. The moment I connect, speed goes to 120kbps and immendiately after 1min speed goes to 0kbps and stays in 0kbps though the signal strength is 97%.

refer snap shot of my problem

please resolve my problem.

I bought an airtel DTH connection online from your site online
I did it on[protected] but till now I did not get any kind of conformation either through mail or phone but the amount 2000/ is deducted from my account
my name is gautham brahma ponnaganti and the transaction id from bank to bharathi airtel cellular payments is MSBH[protected]IGH2921859

my contact no with which I registered is [protected]

when I contact the numbers given no one lifts and all of them just cut my call straight away
really frustrated by the kind of service being provided

I owned an Airtel data card ([protected]) for quite some time and applied for its disconnection as i applied for Airtel Landline Broadband connection.

Please find attached the confirmation mail from Airtel about the cancellation of the number. (Cancellation Mail.pdf) dated 12th Jan 13.
Any one with a minimum level o[censored]nderstanding will presume that his account is closed after this confirmation.

Please find final payment on 25th Jan 13 for this account (Final Settlement.pdf) attached after i got the final bill for this number.

Later on 26th jan 13, i received mail from Airtel stating that as i was a long time customer with Airtel, hence inspite of going for closing this number, convert it to a prepaid account without any conversion charges (see Prepaid Conversion mail.pdf attached). I found the option good and hence i submitted the required docs for prepaid conversion.

After that i never heard anything for a month or so. Then i contact airtel and they informed me that i need to submit those docs hard copy to Airtel store. I did the same and again waited for a long time but never heard anything from airtel about the conversion.

On 24th feb 13, i recieved a bill of Rs. 906 for this number. I was shocked to see this. I called customer care on 5th Mar 13 and they raised a complaint request (Request ID - [protected]) and assured me that someone will call me in next 24 hours for the resolution. More than 10 days passed, no one called me.
Again i called customer care on 14th Mar 13, explained everything to them, then they said that "By mistake, while converting your account from postpaid to prepaid, we reactivated your postpaid number and forgot to deactivate it again and hence you got this bill of Rs.906." He raised another complaint request (request ID[protected] Person who raised this was Chandana ). He said that right away after this call, i will revert this amount back and close your account. I was relieved as i was assured that this issue is finally resolved.

To my shock, on 24th Mar 13, i got another bill for this number with Rs, 906 as previous balance and Rs. 1404 as this month balance and the total bill due for this account as Rs. 2310.

Now please tell me what a consumer is supposed to do and why should he pay a price and time for your software flaws wherein Customer care is not aligned with Billing department and consumer keeps on getting bills even after when customer care confirms the closure of the account.

I talked to customer care multiple times, repeating the same history all the time. They agree to their mistake, confirm me that the amount will be reverted back, but again, next month i get the added bill.

Please help me to get this issue resolve.

My Mobile No is [protected].
As soon as I inserted my sim card into a multimedia mobile, Rs. 2 is being deducted at every day on account of email. I registered complain on 31Mar2013

I have been a regular Airtel customer since 6 years now and using Airtel post paid connection (Acc No.[protected]. I had opted for one time advance rental bill plan (Rs. 699). Every time I call customer care, they confirm that my bill plan of advance rental is active. However, Airtel has been deducting Rs. 300 every month as monthly rental. I have been calling to the customer care umpteen times and have conveyed my concerns (some of the many instances has been mentioned for your reference - 29 Jan 2013 -Faisal - complaint reference 76152809, 30 Jan Karan - Ref: [protected], Nodal Officer Saurita Bannerjee, request lodged at website - No. 48974853, 30 Jan - Sangeeta, Another girl today on 2nd April 2013). Even after my several complaints nothing has been done to resolve my complaint. I have requested Airtel every time to adjust the inflated bill amount with my call usage. Instead, they have now disconnected my number. I have spoken to so many representatives at Airtel but seems the brand is interested only in harassing its customers and do not pay attention to their complaints. I had this impression that Airtel is a good brand and their service is the best. But the response of their customer service has been so disgusting that I now plan to port my number to other operator and sue Airtel for the harassment and financial loss incurred to me.

I, Supanun S., mobile no. [protected] have activated the weekly internet bundle for blackberry of rs.100 last night around 7.30pm. My balance has been deducted and I have received a message saying that my request had been sent and that the service will be available within 4 hours. Till now 9.30 am. of the next day the service is not yet available on my blackberry. I called up the customer care twice and was told to call in a toll free number 7070 of which I was told again that this service is not available in my number. This is not the first time this problem is happening.
My last request is that most of the customer care assistants do not communicate in English which makes it really difficult for some o[censored]s to interact. Not only me, but many of the customers are hoping that you would make proper changes on this matter.
Kindly look into the matter immediately.
Thanking you in advance.

I applied for a broadband connection on 28th March, 2013. On 29th March, 2013 I got a message that the request is in process and that airtel will revert to me within 48 hours. It has been more than 72 hours now since I have got any communication from airtel regarding the broadband request. Today when I called at "[protected]" for knowing the status of my request,I was asked to hold;I did so for more than 8 minutes without a word from the other end.
I hope higher authorities take adequate action.

I am using an Airtel prepaid number from July 2008. Recently when i downloaded a app on my smartphone it showed the number registered in the name of Chandan. Although i got it registered in the name of my father Mr. Rajesh Kumar Saxena. Now when i contacted their office, I got the answer that there is no solution to this Problem and the name cannot be changed. It would be a big problem for me in case the sim is lost or is damaged. So kindly help me in getting the number in my name or the original name i.e. my father's. Its the only contact number in all my Contacts and i cannot afford to lose it. I am ready to provide all my original documents again and all the details about this number in last 4.5 yrs.

Airtel executive committed to provide special postpaid plan post MNP request. Activated a different plan and cheated me. Totally shocked by this behaviour of MNC like Airtel.

i am krishnamoorthi . i purchased one Airtel data Card from airtel show room address ( No 170, Nsr Road, Saibaba Colony, Coimbatore - 641011) on 21st march 2013. tey told the scheme they provide as data card and scheme worth 1500+30 rupees for 10GB plan and it is post paid plan (Data Card number which i bought is - [protected] ). they told me that first one month u have free usage of 10GB after that u want to pay the bill amount of 1500 from 2nd month end. but they get 1530 rupees from me and they activated me 950 rupees plan and there is no free usage . i have contacted that rep Vivek and his office manager many times. but they told told we wont do any thing and we wont refund the balance amount also. then i called that rep vivek and ask about my problem to solve but he scold me in very bad and worst words. i am going to put a case on him . please dont buy any product from airtel. its a fraud company. that airtel office number - [protected], manager number - [protected], Rep Vivek number - ([protected],[protected],[protected]). airtel is no giving respect to their customers and they using bad words. avoid airtel. if any one using airtel hereafter then u also will get scold by that airtel people one day sure. airtel is not fit for this job.
