Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi ,
This is to bring to your notice on my Complaint on AIRTEL - 3G DATA CARD.

I bought 3G Data Card from AIRTEL in MAY 2012, and used it for 2 months.
For the month of JUNE/JULY - 2012, I got the billed amount of Rs 5000 + , which i didn't use much of it.
Sent many reminder mails to the Airtel Customer care, but there was least response to my queries.
Thought this way might work and people who are using 3G Data Card from Airtel will get to know.

Note : AIRTEL, One of the Top BEST mobile service provider proved that it is the WORST too in providing the inappropriate BIll Amount.

Thanks & Regards,
Raj

I have recharged my airtel number [protected] with Rs 199, Rs 149 one after another from airtel.in and each of them failed but the money was deducted from my bank account. So I had to call customer care. Since my SIM card is from Tamilnadu and I'm in Bangalore, I had to call from an alternate number.

First when I called, they assured me that the money will be transferred back to my account. They also asked me to recharge again. So I tried to recharge again using airtel.in. But I got the same result. So I called customer care from my docomo number, and when I opted to talk to customer care executive, an automated kept on saying "please dial *121# to manage your airtel service" but wont connect my call.

So I tried from my vodafone sim and I successfully connected my call. But the worst part is my vodafone number is also blocked like my docomo. Then tried with my friends number too. All of them are blocked now. I can assure you that I didn't use any unprofessional words.

What is this policy of treating a customer? First the recharge system is not working but money is been deducted and then when customer wants help, it is not being provided. There is no free customer support for roaming numbers and when we spend money and try talking to customer care our number is being blocked!

Horrible customer care support.

I registered for porting out my number from Airtel, and it has to be done within 7 days .
Today this is 9th day and they are not giving me any details, also they are ready to close my number but they automatically assumed that i want to remain with airtel. When i called them they asked me to go to their store , when i went there they were not even rerady to listen to me.
From past 2 days, I had called their customer care around 10 times , many times they disconneted my call without giving any resolution.

No body from them is ready to accept my Port request, saying that it is not in there hands.
They told me that i will be getting back call within 2 hours , but no call i had got .
Every day they register new complaints and give me 24 hours of time but everytime the same story there is.

Please help me as it is very urgent for me to Port my number as this network is of no use for me because there is no network available at my place.

I had a Land line. My acct no is 16629709.My Phone number was 40656246. I had surrendered the line vide letter dated 7/10/2011. My last payment was o 05.09 2011. Vide receipt no 243381.Rs 410. No letter of closure of line was given to me. I was told it will be emailed. On 21st February 2013 I received an SMS that I owe a sum of Rs 80 and odd. When visited their park street I was told that it is Rs.180. I promptly cleared. Instead of issuing me a computer generated receipt I was given a kachcha receipt No 4850664 where only acct no is written and no rubber stamp or any thing was given. When questioned about the authenticity I was asked to go to court. My question is where is the guarantee that after five years another notice will not be served since they re not closing my account.

I am using Airtel DTH/Digital TV from last November 2012, Without my notice or request they changed my monthly pack from south supe rvalue to south economy sports. When I called to them they are saying that you have messaged for changing the pack on[protected]. But I did not messaged to them for changing the pack. They are cheating the customers by saying false statements. I asked them to change the pack but they need at least one month for changing the pack. It is not my mistake then how can I pay for the monthly pack which I do not need.

We purchased Airtel Dth on 29 jan 2013, service for recharge w.e.f 28 feb 2013 is very poor in respect of online recharge. For the last 3 days complaints are being lodged but no satisfactory reply in spite of talking to executives/senior executives for more then 23 minutes at a time are so.

I took a Broadband service from airtel on the plan , Pay for five months and get a wifi free on a Broadband plan, when i got the connection the connection guy said the wifi wont be available as a firmware was not ready for my BEETEL 450TC2 WIFI Modem. I asked him then please change the modem which has no problems. after frequent calls its almost a month now no way near I can connect only one laptop remaining i need to perform a manual LAN cable connection.Even people come to make it fix on the end of the day they say sir Sorry the firmware is yet to release ....:(

Dear Sir,

I refer to the above matter and to the telephone conversation of your customer service earlier this week and yesterday.

1. I would like to seek a clear explanation or a clarification why am I billed twice separately for the same service in 2 different packages or plan or services rendered by you with no knowledge of mine.

2. When my bill plan itself includes my 3G services+1000free sms+certain minutes of free calls etc...then why am I being billed for an extra 50rs for sms and an extra 1000rs for internet.

3. There was no clear answer given by the customerservice when I called in late december to check on the excess bill amount. They replied saying that I have requested for an additional internet service which is being activated from 23 November.....My question to them was when did I request for such additional service and without my knowledge and without any request placed by me how cum they have activated any service on my number.....and if so when did I request for...what's the date and time of request and what's the mode of request..i.e, is it via a telephone request through customerservice or via a mail or via face to face at the Airtel office.There was no answer from the customerservice desk and he said the system shows no record of request made by me but only shows the activation date as 23 november and he has transferred my call mentioning some department and the person whom I laised with or spoke to was Mr.Ali.

I have also asked him that in case if a new package or plan or a service with better and more privileges is being activated, doesn't that mean that the earlier service or plan or package. With the same features has to be deactivated automatically. And incase if I have requested for a new plan or package or service of extra internet then why is my earlier plan still being continued. And why am still being billed for an extra 50rs every month despite of my free 1000sms in my 950rs plan itself.

My total usage of my internet itself is hardly 1-2GB every month....despite still I would be having more un-used GB being wasted by me everymonth....I understand that it would be mere stupidity and foolishness of wasting un-used GB at one end and requesting for an extra plan or service of internet on the other hand. Which itself clearly shows that my record o[censored]sage of internet doesn't require any additional internet plans or services....and I dint request for any additional plans or services.

I am much satisfied with the current bill plan of 950rs every month...And I have also requested Mr Ali that I would not be interested in any termination or dissruption of services due to my delay in my bill payment and until such time that I am clarified with my genuine queries.He was unable to answer when my request was made and he too re-confirmed that the're are no records showing that a request has been made from my end and he said airtel would waive the extra bill upon clarifying at their end and took a telephonic complaint of 72hrs notice and mentioned that he would revert back with details asap and within 72hrs. But no one turnedup.

The issue was dragged till February and there were calls from customerservice for my bill payment. Of 5000+ and I re-questioned them the same thing and explained them the scenario...he then suggested me to mail my query inorder for them to look into the matter.

I also would like to refer the telephone conversation with Mr Mahindra at 11:30am yesterday and also the call with Ms Radha this morning at 10:30am. In order to solve the matter amicably with non disruption of any airtel services I have also made an interim payment of 3000/- yesterday.

While my conversation with Ms Radha , I have requested her to first deactivate that so called extra plan , to whi h she replied saying the service has been deactivated on february 19th itself. I dont understand why the service was activated and deactivated witbout any info to me or request of mine or knowledge of mine. She mentioned that she would revert back regarding that unnecessary Excess bill.

Kindly revert back ASAP.
