Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have been applied for port on 24th of this month and i got a call form the retention department of airtel and offered a better plan and promise me that they will activate it in next 72 hours but they did not do it. now when i called their customer call no they said first cancel ur port request and then they will activate it. I followed the instruction given by airtel but i get a message that this is not a prescribed format to cancel the port request. i was surprised as the format was told to me by the airtel. Now the problem is that, they do not activate new plan on my no and i am suffering from loss due higher call charges due to their false promise. Please look into the matter and do something against airtel.

Hi,
I am Jaideep and unfortunately i decided to buy an Airtel postpaid connection for a long term use, from a retailer in sector 56 HUDA market "Jhalak Communications". I changed my job and wanted a permanent number, I took the new kit after submitting all my documents and a security deposit amount of Rs.250. Its been since 15 days that I am looking forward for my connection to get activated, I got tele-verification calls a couple of times and myself tried to contact the retailer for a physical verification, which never happened.
I have been running from pillars to post to get the number ([protected]) activated but of no help, neither the company CS team helps nor the retailer from whom i have bought this connection. i also went to the retailer for a refund of the security amount but he too denied siting various reasons.
This is the state of apathy of so called the leading operator in telecom industry, if someone concerned reading this complaint may contact me on my prepaid number [protected], having given my number i am quite sure that no one will even bother to get it resolved but however one thing is for sure me, my friends and my family will never again think of buying an Airtel connection and all friends who are reading this please beware of AIRTEL, never buy any connection from this arrogant telecom giant.

Hi
I am Ravi and I am an Airtel user and received a call from [protected] on 27 January at around 7:35 PM, I didn't took the call but later on I searched for it on Google and found that this number was spam and can cause sim cloning, I am very much concerned and would urge the concerned authorities to take appropriate actions for such nuisance.

Kindly help me out in this context and do take required action as early as possible.

Best Regards

I have been using the same airtel prepaid sim card for about seven years now, but last 3 months have been disasters for me, in the name of balance thefts, wrong booster offers, once sms booster for 30 days is paid for and activated, gets deactivated in seven days time. customer care cant be reached for some reason. im hating it now.

My Name is P.Elumalai, I am having Airtel prepaid mobile#[protected]. I have activated GPRS long back & the same is not working properly for me.
I tried to reach customer care many times. But, the IVR options are worst & they r not responding to me. My call getting disconnected from customercare before they answering me.
But, my money was deducting frequently , But i am not using the services.
Please take this complaint as priority & respond to me ASAP.

Sorry to report about a disaster in service by Airtel.
We have been using a landline with broadband in Gurgaon since last one year[protected].
When we approached 121 on 22 Jan 2013 for disconnection on 29 Jan 2013, we were told that we will get a call back within 2 hours (Ref No[protected]. No calls so far
When we reported in airtel website, we got acknowledgement LB[protected] dated 22 Jan saying that they will get back within two working days. It is already 5 days & still no reponse.
It is rather unfortunate that such a big player like Airtel cares very little for individual customers.
Overall, it has been a very painful experience for a simple disconnection of service.

Our landline & broadband suddenly out of service since this morning 27 Jan 2013. NO CLUE ON WHAT IS GOING ON. There are no calls, no response & possibly no procedure for disconnection of service. Customers of airtel definitely deserves something better!

Very disappointing and frustrating to interface with Airtel.

Around 2 years ago I purchased my WIFI Modem from AIRTEL, When I had bought the modem the person had told me that the modem was insured till I was a continuing customer with AIRTEL and that any problem pertaining to the modem (REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT) will be handled by AIRTEL.

Now apparently sometime in 2011 the changed their policy that my modem is only insured for 1 years from the date of purchase. Can they just change the policy like that without my approval ?
They are not even ready to provide me with the Policy to go over it. . .

They are offering me a list of centers to get my modem repaired BUT WHY SHOULD I BEAR THE COST ? The changes in Policy cannot be applicable to me, they have to remain as per the time the Modem was bought.

That Policy was the only reason I had bought the modem from AIRTEL else there are a lot of options out there. Now they are not wanting to take any responsibility.

One more thing apparently this MODEM (450TC1) has this common defect, as in its quite a normal that the WLAN light stops completely indicating a problem. I mean the repair guy just asked me the model number and asked me if the light was on or off and when I said OFF he said that that it was a common sight.

Hello Prabhu (Airtel team),

The bill amount for the month of Nov 2012 is paid already.
I have registered so many complaints since 23/Nov/2012 for non-working of the connection and no one has turned back to solve the issue. I have also sent many mails and complaints which is of no use.
Even the internet was not working since 23/11/2012, i paid the bill till 5/Dec/2012 which includes no usage of internet for 12 days which Airtel should refund me.
So by 27/11/2012 i have requested to cancel the connection which Airtel has not taken any action.

Also

1. No one came to rectify the issue after my complaint 23/11/2012.
2. I have not got any letter / mail for any reminder like this email earlier. (This is not re-iterated reminder for the payment. This is the first mail i got after i sent several mails of Airtel disconnection.)
3. I would like to face this issue legally with all my mail proof / complaint numbers that has been sent to Airtel customer care since 23/11/2012 and proceed further for compensation if needed.
4. You can always request for the mail proofs / complaint numbers which i have sent to customer care since 23/11/2012.

Thanks,
Sashi N

Dear Sir,

Airtel is deducting money for activation o[censored]nnecessary services without prior notice/sms to the customers. This is a really fraud business and scam doing by airtel. And when we request the money refund customer care people are not responding properly and abruptly ending the phone call sometimes.Please take severe action against this kind of stupid trics played by airtel.

Thank you

I have 3G dongle for airtel (No: [protected] Acct No: [protected]). I
have activated the RS. 450 (2GB) plan and got it changed to Rs. 645
(3GB). My bill for last month was Rs.1579.39. There are several things
that made me mad about your service not even a month into activating
it.

1. My number took ages to get activated when it did suddenly my phone
got changed without notice which delayed activation for 2 more days.

2. The sales man told me that i can change my plan any time in between
the month and when i did change the guy at the counter says i will be
billed on prorate basis which doesnot know how it works( except for
the name of it ) and does know how much of free GB i used.

3. No one ( your call center, at the service counter, sales man) have
any idea regarding how much my bill would be if i use it excess the
offered plan.

4. My number got deactivated and is still the case until now without any notice.

5. Finally i cannt reach you because i dont have a airtel number. ( I
called up atleast 10 times from other network everytime to land in
prepaid service center).

6. I got a call in office time to pay the money in 5 minutes to get my
account acivated. ( A lady told a guy will come and pick up the money
in 5 minutes time, when i told iam in office she replies the same "I
am in office too")

Now can any one take the pain of explaining me the bill or atleast
send the bill to me ( I didnt receive the bill yet). If it is only the
money you care about tell me when i need to pay ( as it is i am struck
with you guys buying the dongle). I think i have until 31st to pay the
bill.

Dont cheat customers explain that you need airtel number to get the
dongle and please explain the terms before the sale.

I never excepted this kind of service from Airtel atleast.

Dear Sir, I have a very big problem with bharti airtel. they are charging unfair amount every time in my bill. Every time they are charging amount by fake methods after that they will feel sorry and will give us discount in bill. I have four airtel postpaid mobile numbers. out of four, two have been ported to other operator. Now problem is that i have a number [protected] is under a cug plan Rs 100 rental. In which they are providing 500 local minutes & 200 Sms. both of the scheme mentioned above are not exceeded than limit. I have rs 98 internet plan and in this plan i have used only 600MB out of 1GB. So according to the plan my bill should be 100+98+service taxes. But they have charged me Rs 902. In actual they charged me Rs 990. Rs 88 is paid advance in last bill. In every bill i have faced these problems & due to this i have ported two of my numbers. I am also planning to port my other two numbers. And also i am planning to fire a case against bharti airtel for doing thses types o[censored]nfai things and also for wasting my time, disturbing me mentally. So i request you to look upon my case & resolve it.

Thanks & Regards,
