Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Respected Panelist,

Well its been more than 3years i am registered with DND service by Airtel. On daily basis i receive Promotional calls and Messages and i am fed of it. I have complained to Airtel and everytime they assure me that it will be stopped. But they are incapable to do so. I am really fed up and it has affected my health too.

I have decided to move court and file a defamation case against them and it has really disturbed me and it has affected me in my work too.

I have all the details of the messages and calls i receive from the agencies. I am tired of complaining again and again. They really dont understand the consumers problem.

Please guide me what best i can do to resolve this issue, awaiting your valuable feedback.

Thanking You,

Yours Sincerely

I have been charged Rs.5 from my Airtel prepaid account (number: [protected]) for downloading Fashion show on[protected]:22 hrs when I have not downloaded any such thing. When I contacted the customer care on 121 and told the executive that I didn't download it, he insisted that I downloaded it at that time from a website, which I couldn't make out from what he was telling. I told him repeatedly that I didn't download it, but he wasn't willing to accept and thanked and disconnected the call.

Searching the Internet, I found that few others were having the same issue as me. Can you please stop these types of charges from getting deducted from account when no such Value Added Services (VAS) were downloaded? Please also refund my prepaid account with Rs.5.

the companys unending fraudulent activities shall never end. Here it comes with a new scheme, if at all ur a airtel customer or ur trying to be one, do know abt this? Never use the internet (or so called subscribed packet data) when u have large amount of balance. I[censored]r using the so called data pack, ur entire balance will be taken away before the data is over. If that is not enough further, the care personnel will prove u wrong for complaining by saying they have no track of such debits.

Dear consumer help india,


Myself vinu nair from delhi.i was a costomer of airtel broadband

connection on dec 2012month.On 25dec my airtel broadband connection started.

i took a plan of 9gb per month.but after just a week i noticed there was

some problems with my data usage, in a week my 9gb was consumed according to

airtel services even without using that 9gb.According to me i only consumed

approx 1 gb in that week. but after a week i got a mail that i consumed all

my data (9gb).. so i m gonna get the speed of 256kbs for the rest of 23 days

of that month.



So on 23 january morning i called 121 and requested to airtel to disconnect

my broadband cnnection as soon as possible as i dont want to continue this

connection to next month(february).and that was my final decision. so they

told me sir please keep this refernce no[protected]. this is the refernce no

of your broadband cancellation req.and they told me that ur connection will

b disconnctd in 3-4 days.. so paid my bill of januray online.And between

that 3-4 days i got atleast 50 calls from airtel to request me to continue

my connection. but i always refused to continue as i was frustated with

thier services.then after a week they called on feb first week that my

connection has been disccncted and i will recieve a confirmation call from

airtel soon. but i havent got any call regarding that.

And now a few days i got a msg from airtel that i have to pay the bill of

february month ie 1055rs.
I just want to know why the hell they havnt cannclled my connection when i

requested on jan month. And on 19 march 2013when i again called on 121 and

ask why they didnt canceld my connection on january . then they said- sir we

havent recieved any cancellation request from ur side till this date.adding

on this they aslo said sir u called on 23 januay2013 to continue ur

connection not to cancel ur connection.


Dear sir/mam.. i request u to please take a hard step against this issue..

why i will pay the bill of february month if i already cancelled iton

january..and everyDAY i m getting a call to pay my bill oF feb month.
i heard a lot about CONSUMERcomplaints.in. i hope u will response me.

Dear Airtel,

The above ref of the mail written to me, i would like to bring to your notice that the no bill which is been generated i had given this no to convert to prepaid at thane gallery 3 months back when i purchased new data card of 3 G services. I requested gallery to deactivate my connection when resumed new services but they convinced me to convert it to prepaid i cleared all the dues outstanding and the papers xerox required to convert to prepaid and new connection my new connection started and i was in assumption that the following no is been prepaid. I had never received any correspondence towards insufficient papers as mentioned by the gallery later when i received the bill after a month. I had a question to them why the papers were insufficient converting to prepaid while on the same set my new connection started. They told me that they put a request on the issue and i will get a call. I have not used single data while in operation pls chk.

I need a proper person to revert me on issue you can chk I have multiple nos Mob no [protected], Land Line 41235814 and even a 3 G Data card.

Don't go with Airtel direct sales, buy Airtel services Online to get offers. Either Direct Sales Person don't know the information correctly or untruth. Direct sales comes to door step with pamphlet. I said him that I will get offer rs.500 or free wifi modem offer, if i book online through website. He said He will provide the same, just pay a month advance rental(Rs.1000). So I gave a month rental with application form & documents.

A month gone, first bill reached me without any discount. I started complaint through Customer Care, they gave reference number 28022914. But, without any information they closed the ticket.

Again I compliant, they gave another reference number 28762156. A person called another day and said that it is activation fees. If I did not pay any advance rental, Airtel will add activation fees in first month bill(Hidden Charges?!). They said another person will get in touch with me.

Today I called CC and enquired about the ticket. They said it is closed. Stating that "Wrong Commitments" from sales person.

Again new reference number assigned 30432538.

I am not sure, we will get offers if we booked new services through CC.

Lesson learned: Don't buy any Airtel services directly, go with online to get maximum offers.

Sir,
I got activated 150 package for 500mb 3g and 500 mb 2g data. Nobody told for pro-data usage and no information about exceeding the limit. Due to that my bill is 3500 around. i got confirmation from customer care side, recharge with 500 rupee and after that we will settle and your outgoing will be activated. something i have completed and problem is still hare.
My point is that please take 150 rupee for data usage and if exceeding more than 500mb 3g and 500 mb 2g then charge as per your scheme. i have complained so many time since last 25 days and no body have given proper feed back and out going call still barred.
i want to be dis-connected from Airtel and please close my no [protected].

I had Airtel Dish TV connection which I used for years. Becuase of several complaints and service not being good, I decided to disconnect from Airtel Dish TV services and subscribed another vendor for DTH services. When I disconnected from services I had Rs.350/ balance in my account.

After a year or so, I got a call from Airtel DISH TV that you are not using DTH services and they can not be renewed (perfect becuase I already had decided to not to use) so we need your Setup Top Box and Remote and your account will be settled and cheque will be sent at your residence address within one month. Same day a Airtel person came and collected the "Set top box" and "Remote" This all happened on 23-Jan-2013.

Now, in the month of March (around mid) I called up Airtel DISHTV helpdesk and to my surprise they completely deny that they have taken their set top box and Remote .. though I have a receipt of the same.

Very strange and cheating business Airtel DISH TV is doing...

BEWARE OF SUBSCRIBING AIRTEL DISH TV CONNECTION . THINK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO GO WITH AIRTEL.

I have attached the recepit from Airtel Dish TV.

My name is Gagan chandna.

my Airtel customer care service has been blocked. i am unable to call 121.since last 3 days I was calling to know about the status of my previous request. Every time I got a message that your request has been resolved but still it has not been resolved. No one in airtel customer service has given a satisfactory feedback and now they have blocked my 121 care also.

I m a new user of airtel and few days back i recharged rs 200 and yesterday i made a own recharge for interneet and sms pack and then after 50 to 55 rs extra deducted in my recharge and i called lots of time 198,121,[protected] but no response and no intimation msg for extra deducted kindly sort out the matter as soon as possible.

Thankx

CUSTOMER ID:[protected]
Glad to see your reply. Thank you for the information provided.


I have two issues,

1.want to change the registered mobile number

2.activate the online account.

In my registered mobile we have an issue that I couldn't send any sms from that number we are working with BSNL to resolve this issue.


Therefore I would like to do all my communication online. But when I register as new user I got a message saying that I will get a mail with the password on the provided mail id , but till today I didn't get any mail .(I tried many time to register as a new user)


Regarding this also I have contacted Airtel technical support they told we will call you back with in one hour , but no luck.

Kindly do the needful to resolve this issues.

Sir/Madam

I am Deepak Bansal user of Airtel prepaid connection.

Actually previously my mobile number is with Vodafone since 2005 but due to Network issue I had ported my number to Airtel in September 2012.
But now I do not like airtel due to same bad network issue & negligent customer care service. so I submitted request for MNP in 16-Jan-2013 with Vodafone but Airtel rejected my request. I again submitted request for same on[protected] but again airtel restricted my number for MNP.

Neither their call customer care nor their store give reasons for rejection. I now seriously hate Airtel & want to port my number to Vodafone.

Please do the needful.

Thanks

Dear Sir,
recently air tel deducting amount from main balance showing fraud downloads ,after complaining to customer care several times they returned the same but again and again they are doing the same,how many time i have to face this problem? before if Internet pack validity ended Internet couldn't be done without recharging Internet pack but now without giving recharge alert they deduct whole main balance amount immediately.
why should not be a provision to protect main balance or a provision not to deduct main balance without permission of customers,i can,t believe such a reputed company like air tel can do this type of chief fraudulent means.
