Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Airtel — Denying receipt of payment

I have made payments for the mobile no. [protected] on 19th and 21st July for Rs. 900 each; the 2nd payment was made when Airtel informed me that they had not received my 1st cheque. My bank statement clearly shows that BOTH the cheques have been cleared. However, Airtel insist that no cheque payment has been received by them. I even emailed my bank statement to 121 and to this I get a reply that the document sent is not "authentic". I am shocked by this and I want to claim damages from Airtel for mental harassment. The Customer care person says that "how do we know whom my bank made a payment to?" Now, is there any other AIRTEL in India???

I was in Italy and on international roaming; I was sent a several SMSes asking to clear pending payments.
Then I am sent another SMS on 28th July that if I do not make a payment of Rs. 38, 000/- my roaming would be disconnected. I want to ask Airtel, how am I supposed to pay this amount when I am traveling (that too on a train). I made a call to the Customer care and they were in no mood to help. Fortunately, I was to return to India the next day so I did suffer.

MY LANDLINE WAS INSTALLED ON 30th june 2011 and disconnected on 6th July suo moto and airtel is not responding to any of my complain , complain number given and no action taken since last july 2011.
Airtel has been billing for the services shamelessly and its seems airtel has started extortion business services connecting and then not serving and not attending to any complain. I have escalated to nodal officer who seems to be joker and write adsurd mail without understanding the issue .

My landline number is [protected]
All promised which the centre make is false and they do not have any clue about the same

AirTel — Airtel is a Cheater

I have a corporated connection of Airtel that I took around 6-7 years back. I pay for the bill from my bank account. Whenever I call Airtel to resolve my small issues like billing problem or subscription of GPRS, they tell me to request through coporate connection co-ordinator of the company in which I work. When I request the company co-ordinator, he never pays heeds to my request. If I request to discontinue my connection, even then they tell me to send request through company co-ordinator.

Two times they told me that they will call me back through their supervisor, but they did not.

Airtel is continuously cheating me by over charging me on bill. They don't discontinue my connection. Airtel is a big cheater.

I VE NT FOUND ANY RESOLUTIONS YET ...PLZ CONTACT ME @ [protected]

Hello,

My name is Muhammad Zubair and my Airtel mobile no. is [protected]. I recently visited the Airtel Showroom in Marathalli Bangalore to get a Micro SIM card for my new smartphone. After assurance from the showroom guy that the sim will be activated in few hours, it has still not been activated after four days. I tried calling the customer care, but their service and knowledge of issues is minimal. I live far away from the Airtel showroom and it is difficult for me to visit them again and again. I do not know how to proceed from here.

Bharti Airtel — outgoing calls barred

Dear Sir/Madam,

I had taken Airtel Corporate connection a month back and receieved my 1st bill for usage between 4th Jan- 4th Feb, 09, last date for payment being 22nd Feb.

However, i exceeded my credit limit (Rs 1500) and aitel barred my outgoing calls. At that time, my phone was on roaming (its a Bangalore connection) and I made a bill payment (in excess of my actual bill amount) at Raipur Airtel office.I was told that my phone lines will be activated within 24 hours of the bill payment.

The bill payment date was 11th Feb. Till date my lines have not been activated. I have gone to Airtel office thrice and spoken to Airtel Customer care half a dozen times. Each time they assure me that the lines would be activated but they dont do it, blaming it either on the server or on the Raipur airtel office or something else. Moreover, there is no co-ordinated communication between customer care (telephone guys) and airtel office people. I was asked to furnish details of my bank statement as a proof that I have paid (despite the fact that I have showed them a receipt of my payment) but the airtel office people refused to accept it since they had not asked for it.

I am absolutely frustrated with the inefficiency and insensitivity of Airtel authorities. Kindly help! I need my phone lines re-activated ASAP!

Airtel — Outgoing services barred without any warning

Airtel today really pissed me off... I've been their customer for mobile phones for 7+ years, have paid them lakhs of rupees as monthly bills and they've now turned into an arrogant with all the money that I've paid them.

Today they sent me a SMS stating the following:

"We have not received your Airtel Postpaid documents required as per Govt. directives, hence the services of your Airtel mobile have been discontinued. To fix up an appointment for the collection of the documents, kindly call us at [protected] between 9 AM to 6 PM"

I tried making an outside call instantly, and I could not because they had deactivated my phone already.
No communication was sent beforehand stating that they needed any documents from me --- neither through SMS, email or a mail. They choose to call you for frivolous services as and when they want, but they could not also give me a call regarding this. They chose to suddenly disconnect the connection without any warning. Now Customer Care wants me to go to a Airtel Outlet, collect a form, fill it, attach some documents with photographs etc. and after that they'll restore my connection within 24 hours!

So as far as I see, I could have been abroad on International roaming, and they could have had me stranded on some foreign land like this! A phone is an essential service. Can Airtel do this? What if they lose the documents that I give them again? They would disconnect my phone again, and this could go on for ever!

Is there any way I could seek some justice? This is awful behaviour from Airtel's side. I tried to reason with Customer Care. I asked them to reactivate the connection and give me 1-2 days to submit the forms, but they won't listen of it. They've held me hostage... and I'd really like to get back at them.

I CAN'T MAKE OUTGOING CALL FROM [protected] ON 25/06/2009.

Airtel — Outgoing services barred, already made the payment

I have already made the payment of Rs. 3122.05 using my ABN AMRO Debit card on 23/06/09. But then also Airtel has barred my services. For the reference I am attaching print screen of the payment history. Please look in to the matter and do the justice as this is action is against my consumer rights.

AirTel — Out-going calls are barred

I have already submit my address proof two times, however my air-tel number [protected] still not activated. But incoming calls are received, but out going call not worked. If dialled immediately show "call ended" instead of several times complaint in customer care no response for the past six months. Please activate the above number otherwise please inform the position.

I subbmitted my documents on thrusday and the service centre guys ensured me that my out going would start in 48 hrs. after the time period of 48 hrs they again msged me to subbmit my documents. after contacting the airtel office again they said that they couldnot help as they had not recieved the documents. I would like you to take necessary action against them as they have been very irresponsible in handling compalints and very careless with their service.

AirTel — Calls Barred

I have migrated from Vodafone to Airtel recently. My Mobile Number:[protected]Chennai Circle)

As per the process, I have visited Anna Nagar Airtel Showroom and submitted the
required documents for MNP. After 20+ days the number got ported to Airtel.
Though initially I had few problems with Airtel Customer Care, later I got settled with
BlackBerry Services activated.

After a week from the time of activation, My Outgoing was barred saying that I
need to submit the Proofs. However I have never received any kind of SMS/call
regarding the same, I was also not informed when I called Airtel Customer Care
a day before. Later I called the Customer Care and spoke to Laxminathan and got
my number released after promising him that I would submit the proofs the same
day which I DID by taking half a day leave to my work. Ref # 7719041


Again today, the same problem occurred. Evidently both my I/C and O/G is barred
for the same reason of not submitting the docs with no SMS/Call intimation. I called up (@
5:30 AM) the customer care and again got Laxminathan on call and requested him
to release my I/C at least so that I can live until I visit the showroom which
opens at 10/11 AM. This time Laxminathan couldn't help me in releasing my
Number despite me confirming that I have submitted the docs earlier with Ref #
7719041

I was told I have to wait till the showroom opens and get it clarified from
them, since Customer Care does not have a system in place to verify the status
of the Ref # given at the Store. No other option was available and I had to wait till 9:40 AM and spoke to Nodal Officers : Vijay & Sheela and Appellate Officer: Subramanium, I reported the issue to them. I was told they would call me and update by EOB and I am still waiting for my connection to be released with 28+ hrs of disconnection till now.

Things i dont understand :

1. This was an MNP connection and the new sim will be given only after providing the docs at the showroom. I wonder how Airtel cannot realize this ?
2. How come Airtel can disconnect my connection without any SMS/Call intimation ?
3. Despite of involving Nodal & Appellate Officers, I still dint get any resolution ?
4. The proofs were submitted twice already and its 28+ hrs now, Airtel is still searching/validating my docs, the system is very poor
5. They dont seem to understand the Inconvenience that i am facing now, instead Nodal Officer:Sheela gets frustrated on me, weird.

My only request is to unlock my Number ASAP if you happen to read this anytime now. Thanks in advance..!

Regards,
Kalyan Kumar

AirTel — outgoing calls are barred

Out going calls are barred from 7th December, 2011 even after submitting the required documents twice at Manipal outlet. In initial two days it was active, but then stopped with out any reason. I was following it up almost every day with Manipal out let, but of no use. My husband called customer care to find out the reason, but the guy who attended the call at 7.56 pm on Dec 30,2011, disconnected the call abruptly.

Interestignly the Airtel web site is down to accept any customer complaints.

I did not expect such kind of service from airtel
Please do me the need ful ASAP.

I would like to qualify that this is the most irresponsible organization that i have ever come across in my entire life. I have an Airtel connection in Gurgaon. I was asked to make a payment of 4000 rupees, and I made the payment on 20th november 2012. My outgoing calls for some reason still got barred on the 20th.

On calling customer service, they mentioned to me that outgoing facility will be restored in 4 hours. However, nothing happened. So i called again. This way i made more than 15 calls on the 20th. Finally, the floor supervisor assured me that there was a serious technical problem, and my issue will be resolved by 12 PM on the 21st. I waited, but nothing happened. I called again, and a different representative mentioned again that my issue will be resolved in 4 hours.

I have no clue what to do here. This is the worst service possible that i have seen by any mobile service provider in the world. Its a matter of shame and disgust that companies such as Airtel are functioning in India. Can anyone help me on this ?

I have recently recharged my prepaid phone number [protected] but outgoing calls have been barred (local and international). I am using a Samsung Galaxy mini (S5570).

Whenever I try to call Airtel customer care, they say they will transfer me to the manager and the line gets cut. Each time!! I have tried calling customer care 5 times with the same result. Please resolve this issue as soon as possible!

My airtel outgoing call barred [protected] plz get me password

My credit limit on 399 postpaid service is 3000. There was no service on my phone for 2 days, when I called up airtel executive member they kept on transferring my calls. Some times the number provided wa snot correct.
Finally I came to know that Airtel service provider have barred my network services without any warning. As a matter of general rule and prudence a proper notification must be provided before such actions. Barring a service is a clear indication by airtel to attempt Service discontinuation.
I make all my payments online, they bar my service and expect me to make payments. How do I receive OTP when my service is barred. I have been a sincere customer and this is how airtel treats its customer.
I have faced huge problems due to barred service without notice. I hope my complaint would not only be resolved but an apology be also made.
