Airtel Complaints & Reviews

The Company charges Rs 40/- for Star Cricket as individual channel....
How is it possible...
At time when dth was introduced than it was said per channel it would cost for Rs. 5 per channel..
Is there any provision to control the same..?

Why they are charging such???

activated Rs 5.net pack.....checked the confirmation SMS, checked my balance....and turned on my data services and started browsing
again.....after 5 minutes....
I checked the balance Rs 22 were deducted..
I called customer care....they ignored three calls..
after listening the problem.... later the last one talked to me...and didn't gave the solution..

I talked to Mr umar khan (supervisor)...and after that....Mr Hakeem Abrar(team leader).....

Airtel DTH is trying eat away the money of its customer.

There was no signal error B001 and on contacting the customer care, they did some manipulation. And finally they said they are going to send some engineer to home and asked me to pay 125 Rs.

I am not able to understand if the problem is not mine why should I pay the money.

Also another strange thing is if we dont recharge in time, they block the signal. If we re-charge then, they have some hard reset option for which they charge 30 Rs.

Sir,
I am using the minutes plan of Rs.195 on airtel mobile no.[protected] but i am unable to know the balance of the plan.

With regards

Hi, On December 24, 2012, Airtel digital TV removed HD (High Definition) broadcast of two of the most popular sports channels viz. Star Cricket HD and ESPN HD. I was in particular, an avid viewer of these two channels and I have made significant investment keeping in mind the viewing of these two channels in HD (High Definition), including the purchase of 2 set-top boxes costing in excess of Rs. 6500/- and the purchase of a new full-HD television.

The absence of these two channels in high definition has caused me severe mental stress. On calling customer care department of Airtel Digital TV, their response have been quite nonchalant, thus causing even more agony for me.

I want this inconvenience of mine immediately redressed by Airtel Digital TV by restarting the HD (High Definition) broadcast of the above mentioned two channels and providing me suitable monetary compensation for the extreme mental agony caused.

I gave one old model of mobile to my son. Recently we changed the model to HTC one. Immediately after changing the instrument,the internet got activiated. We presume that it would be @ Rs. 100/- per month.

However in 2 days and 19 hours the bill shoot up to 1500/- and with penelty and taxes they are demaning Rs 1700/- from me.

I have registed complaints to nodal officers and have been told that about six month back one scheme was activated that was free for some time and later on charges are applicable. We have been never explained about the scheme. Simple internet charges at this rate is just not acceptable.

I am a regulsr bill payer and they are behing me for the bills - pending as per them

I am a user of Airtel Mobile data service. initially I was using the package of Rs. 59 for 1024 MB data. The services were blocked on 12 Feb 2013 and I was asked to pay Rs.2443 despite my bill plan.I still paid Rs 4500 towards the bill and after repeated calls at 121, the plan was changed to unlimited plan at Rs. 149 per month. the data service was started only to be barred again after few hours with a SMS asking me to deposit Rs. 7565 towards Internet usage. Repeated contacts at 121, I was told to ignore the message as I had unlimited data usage plan. However, The data connection was again not available for 4 days. It was again told to me that I have already deposited excess amount and the data service would be restored in 4 hours. I was surely restored only to be blocked again after few hours. Repeated calls at 121 were futile as the cust care executive expressed her inability to help.
The data service of this erratic nature and huge billings despite a plan on board definitely amounts to GROSS DEFICIENCY IN SERVICE not taking into consideration the losses due to lack of data connectivity for days together.

i am using airtel sim card for my cell phone

i balance as being dedutced for the services which i not activated and all
custumer care 121 is not answer my call
please help me to refill my balance back through airtel company

Respected Sir,
Yesterday (22nd feb 2013 at around 11:00 pm i did a SMS recharge of Rs 52 from my Airtel Sim. by dialling *555# and selecting the 52 offer. After Confirming, it said that you r request would be processed within an Hour Where as till now ( 23rd Feb 23/02/13 6:35 pm) there has been no sign of the recharge. No doubt, no money from my balance has been cut as yet but i am being charged at rs 1 per msg.. and i am waiting for the SMS pack recharge to be done ! But it is not being processed yet.
Please look into this case immediately. Thank You.

I, Richa Anand booked the new Airtel Wi-Fi connection with a/c no. [protected], and Customer Enrollment Form - 454520 on 16th Feb, 2013 and checked with the sales person Anil with phone ([protected]), responsible for Miyapur Area, Hyderabad about 10 times that if I can use Wi-Fi system in multiple systems. (laptops and mobiles)

I told that earlier there was an obligation o[censored]sing 4 systems in Airtel Wi-Fi and if that is the case, I do not want your connection. The sales person(Anil) took money from me and convinced that I can use it in multiple systems after writing an application that I am taking the ownership of any misuse.

I agreed to it and gave Rs. 1000 to Anil for “8Mbps [protected]@999”plan and he gave me the receipt Customer Enrollment Form – 454520. After a week, today, 23rd Feb, 2013, when the technician came to install the connection, he told me that I can use only 4 systems at a time with Airtel. I called up Anil (the salesperson) and he said that he is helpless and can’t help. Just two days before the policy changed – which was completely a lie. Further, he said that you only have 2 systems so why are you looking for multiple systems – as if it’s his business as how much laptops I have!

In addition, he said that I can get the connection installed and he will give me a Wi-Fi (router) WITHOUT LETTING THE TECHNICIAN KNOW so that I can use multiple systems – which is gain as per Airtel is not possible and such offers do not even exist!
He also said that in case he will not give a Wi-Fi router, I can use the connection for one month and then disconnect that. He was doing a fraud just to complete his sales target which was ridiculous.

I have cancelled the connection and expecting the money to get back in 21 days. However, according to the sales person (Anil), I will get in 4 days – God knows HOW???? So many wrong information!

I have already lodge a complaint with Airtel customer service (Complaint number –[protected] and sent the email to [protected]@in.airtel.com and nodal.[protected]@in.airtel.com and expecting the concerned authority to take the action.

Sales people are doing fraud with the customers and giving them wrong information just to take money. There sould be some action to be taken against AIRTEL to stop this fraud.

Richa

Hi, i recharged my airtel prepaid with 3g plan of Rs152 in which i should get 500MB 3G and 500 MB 2G on 8th feb 2013. I received 500 MB of 3G balance but didnot received 500MB of 2G balance. I registered a complain with customer care of airtel on 16 feb after i got a message that your complain has been resolved but i didnot received any balance. again i called customer care of airtel but they replied me that your complain has been resolved and we cannot do anything.
If it is like that i have to opt for MNP .airtel has to refund my 2G balance of 500 MB.
Please resolve my issue as soon as possible.
Thanks

Hi, I have activated DND on my phone but airtel still sends the message and started deducting amount from account without my notice. When i called the call center the representative was rude and harsh and rudely said that she will credit the account. When i asked for the supervisor, she said the supervisors are busy and will call me back me back in 2 hours but none called me back. I again called them after 2 days, the representative said someone from the technical department will call me back but none called me back. Its been more than a week i am trying to fix this issue but airtel is least bothered to resolve my issue. This is never the service i expected from airtel. My number is[protected].I sincerly will not recommend any of them to airtel because they just debit the money from the customer's account without even informing to the customers.

I am a subscriber of Airtel Broadband services since 2004. Till about 2 years ago, their service against my complaints were satisfactory. However, for the past 2 years their service has been inefficient and unsatisfactory. The latest complaint from me was that the Broadband speed is varying resulting in loosing the website all of a sudden. One of the technical person visited my house, after lot of persuasion. After checking the system and connections, he told me that the Modem has to be replaced at my cost. All these years, whenever the Modem went out of order, their technicians visiting were replacing free of charge because the Modem belonged to them. But this time, the person insisted that I have to pay because the Company has changed its policy for the last 2 years. I informed him and another person who called me this morning that it is their duty to replace their own Modem and that I will not pay for it. I also told them that I have not been informed about their change in the policy which they are obliged to inform their Customers. Now I am at a dead-end. Inspite of having a Broadband connection and paying for it, I am not able to make use of the service. Is it the way of leaving their valuable customers of more than 8 years standing in lurch?
