Airtel Complaints & Reviews

From last 32hrs Airtel Internet is not working on my Sony Xperia Mini pro sk17i phone. Called customer service center for help and providing the solution. But call center representative said he will transfer the call to higher officials and disconnected the call. I tried again calling but after keeping the call on hold for sometime they disconnected the call again. This is very frustrating as we are consumer and we cannot find resolution on urgent basis.

I have been airtel broadband customer since 4.5 years I'm done this has been heights of pathetic customer service. They can't replace a wireless modem which they have been charging me Rs 100/month.

This all started on Dec 08 when I have complained about weak signal strength and Mahalaxmi from Airtel has agreed to replace my existing modem with new one Ref no 25845876. Later they have sent me a basic binatone modem which doesn't have wifi facility and took away my beetel 450BXI wifi modem. When I have asked the same they sent me to various team made wait on phone for long time.

Finally I have cancelled the connection and decided to go with Beam Mr. Mahesh floor mgr from specialized team was informing beam is giving false advtersiments and they dont have secure connections and its not safe to do banking transactions on beam network how pathetic airtel its high time stop blaming other companies improve your service you !!!

I am using airtel sim from 4 years and from last 3 months large amount of balance is being deducted from my airtel prepaid numbers [protected] & [protected]. As per the CC information Easy Search service got activated in those numbers but i haven't got any message regarding the service. Even after requesting CC people to deactivate the service nothing happened. CC agents failed to deactivate the service and 198,121 options are disabled to my numbers. Still the amount is being deducted. Please deactivate the service as soon as possible.....

Hi,

I had requested for PORT OUT from Airtel on 22nd Nov-2012 (Unique Porting Request ID: AZ248138). When I called up Airtel customer care on 05-Dec-2012, they said Airtel had cleared my case from their side.
However, when the PORT-IN service provider (Idea) told me on 09-Dec-2012 that there has been a refusal from Airtel, I rung them up yesterday (10-Dec-2012) and asked them about it. They bluntly said that I have been retained, and that too, with my consultation.
In the call from their c=side, I had explicitly mentioned, that I want to PORT out of Airtel, even if they improve their network.
I have been told to put in a fresh PORT OUT request, which I have done (ID: AZ382489).
Please let us know how to stop this harrasment of customers.

Thanks and regards

Sir,
Till date no resolution or solution has been provided.Since 25 Nov while Mr Harpal Singh ,

Mr Divya Malik, Mr Hari Om and Customer care representative from air-tel are continuously

harassing us by making false assurances and even they do not pick up our calls. They have so

on highly unprofessional attitude which we cannot expect from the highly reputed company

The Air-tel. Is any body listening for our harassment or we are making requests to deaf

company. I would never recommend to any body to buy any air-tel product. People are not

harassed so much even by Government departments.

why is my money deducing from 110rs to 45 rs?
2 days ago I recharged 110 rs in my blackberry mobile and then today i got a message that you have been charged rs 60 for downloading a hello tune but i did not download anything. Please suggest me what to do or please deactivate the unwanted subscriptions from my airtel sim

My mobile no. is [protected]

Dear Sir,

My airtel number is [protected].I am getting only 10KBps speed in Tehsil Bhadra (Pincode 335501).I am using your Airtel 3G connection.Even my friends who are using IDEA,RELIANCE,VODAFONE 2G are getting 20KBps that is i think more than your Airtel 3G speed.I am getting 100 percent signals strength.My issue is under process from last 8 days but till now i m getting the same 10KBps speed.Your company charges 450 rs per month for 2GB internet but provides speed of 10KBps even i can get that speed by paying 48 rs in Tata docomo for 2G internet.
So,Please resolve the issue asap and stop fooling the customers.

Thanking You

I recharged my mobile with98 gprs pack one week ago Rs39 Rate cutter two to three weeek ago and main balance Rs50 Rechage and my balance deducte without any justification and not able to access gprs .despite of having rate cutter activated not able to make any call. when tried calling customer support call was disconnected without telling me the reason

Complaint - Internet Balance auto deducted but the plan has not started till date (now almost 3 weeks)

I have registered a complaint with Airtel customer care service 4 times without any feedback and valid answer to my complaint. The customer care just plays with you and gives you a false Noodle office number which is actually some nonsense regular number like 121. You end up paying money for your own compliant and the complaint does not get sorted as well !!! Pathetic.


First if you go to any customer care center they tell you the issue won't be sorted here. They send you to Vega center. At Vega center they make you go back to customer care center. As if its our fault in the first place ! They have cut almost 100 bucks without recharging the internet and making me pay twice more to get it back (which eventually has not yet been given back nor there has been any heed to it).. Its a torture of a service.

The officer at Vega center promises that the issue will be sorted out in 1-2 days. I dont know which calendar they follow. Pluto or even farther i guess.

I am a Airtel customer for the almost 10 years now and this is how they treat a loyal customer.. I hope my complaint gets sorted before this weekend or else I am registering a formal complaint to a higher authority and YES also changing me service provider.

I have ported my number from Aircel to Airtel around 1.5 months back and after such porting I get my number recharged 2-3 times with airtel topups, GPRS & SMS packs, now my number has been blocked 3rd time and upon inquiry to customer care I was informed that the number has never been ported to Airtel and also the company will never provide any facility on that number. Distributor informed that the no is not appearing in data base of Airtel.

My Airtel postpaid 3G card no is [protected]. On 5/6/2012 we purchased 3G USB modem of airtel with postpaid plan of 500 rs/month with 2GB free as advised by Airtel executive. Since we are not staying in India and we come here only once in six months , they made us some promises that they will send us the bill on mail and after two months our plan will change to minimum i.e.100 rs/month. Till date I never get any bill on my mail.In July end my father made the Payment for month of July. After which plan should have been changed to 100 rs/month but it didn't. Every month they kept on sending 500 rs bill to my home address. On october 17th my friend went to Airtel office to change the plan and clear the outstanding which was 1100 rs (two months rental and 100 rs for late payment) against 0 Usage of three months.My friend paid 1500 rs including 400 rs advance payment for next four months with change of plan. They happily took advance payment and after five minutes only, they said that this no is disconnected on 4th October because of 0 Usage. In December when I came to India I was in urgent need of Internet. So I went to Airtel office (Ashram road branch) where they promised me that they will solve the problem but it will take time and they sold me one more prepaid card for internet (no is [protected]) which is very slow and it takes almost an hour to download my mails. I went there for three days and everytime I waited there in line for almost 2 hours and result is none of the staff in that office was able to give me the satisfactory answer. They (including manager Ms Meenakshi Soni) don't know that how they have taken advance payment against the disconnected no. Two days back theey told me as per rule any no. will be automatically disconnected after 45 days i[censored]sage is 0. Why they disconnected my no. after 90 days of 0 usage. They have taken more than 3000 rs for only one month (and less than 1 GB) usage of my post paid card. Today when I requested them to restart the same no. with change of plan to minimum they clearly told me that it is not possible and they were not sure if they will refund the advance payment or not!!! For me it is not the question of 3000 rs but they harassed me so much because of this connection.Airtel staff is totally uneducated and not at all customer friendly. In past three days visit I saw hundreds o[censored]nsatisfactory Airtel customer. Their service and staff is worst....

I am from Bangalore. I called the Airtel customer care, after juggling painstaking IVR options. I had issues with call charges in my plan. I was told by the customer service executive (spoke in Kannada) , bluntly that my plan has expired. I need to look for a cheaper plan and gave me a toll free number to dial. He did not explain the plans. I did as he told, but the options did not give me a plan for my number. I called the customer service again, went through the same useless red tape. This time there was an even arrogant. He was very impatient, and spoke in a rude manner. When I asked him whether this was how the Airtel executives dealt with the customers, he abused me. I retorted back and then he disconnected the call.

My question is, whether Airtel does not care about the customers? They pay these goons posing as customer care executives to abuse customers? I repent having ported to Airtel. First of all, there is no direct number to speak to customer care, and then even if it is connected to the customer care (or Customer don't care would be more appropriate) the arrogant executives audaciously abuse the customers.

If you do not take action on erring executives, then shame on you Airtel. You are not the only service provider; there is a lot of competition. People would move away from your service.

I am a prepaid customer of the AirTel from last 7 years and my cell number is [protected]. I am writing this complaint behalf of the 3 recharges for which I never received benefits.

I have recharged my account with Rs 151 + Rs 151 on 1/12/2012 Saturday and Rs 45 on 2/12/2012. In return I was suppose to get 500MB 3G data + 500MB 2G Data (For one 151 recharge) and 500MB 3G data + 500MB 2G Data (For 2nd 151 recharge). Leave 45 recharge for the time now.

But I didn't got any data credited to my account. Later I came to know that AirTel recharges have been changed as per TRAI policies or something which we don't know as I followed information which is placed at official Airtel website recharge page. It's still there and says that we will get 500Mb 3G+2G data, screenshot attached. When I called to customer care guys, they said that 151Rs recharge was never there(God bless them).

Now I know that 151Rs recharge has been changed to Rs 152 and I am following the same. But what about my money which I spent on above 3 recharges?

I have registered the complaint for the same on 3/12/2012 and Jayshree said that I will get call from them on 4th Dec but I never got any call. Here is the Complaint number : CONRC[protected]

All I want is that refund for my money for following 3 recharges :

1. Rs 151
2. Rs 151
3. Rs 45

Please refund my money or give me the benefit for above 3 recharges.

I am deeply frustrated and hope that someone can help me get the best o[censored]nfair trade by Airtel.

I had called M/s.Skylink Communications for a 3G data connection on 21st November 2012. They inturn had informed that their representative would meet me in person on 22nd November 2012 at 7.00 pm.

But when I had called the representative Mr.Ashraf several times he had expressed his inability to meet me on 22.11.2012 and in turn said that he would meet me on 23.11.2012.

He had met me on 23.11.2012 and handed over the dongle after I had made the requisite payment and in turn had collected my Photo, Pan Card Copy and DL copy for due verification.

I had waited for a week for the data connection and called M/s.Skylink in this regard several number of times, but in vain, there was not a single response from their side.

In turn, I had made calls to Airtel office and they had informed me that my data was not logged in.

When I had recontacted M/s.Skylink they informed my that they had re-logined my data only on 04.12.2012. I was also given an assurance that I would be get a verification call and also the connection would be immediately.

But till this time , I have not received any calls.

The response from M/s.Skylink is atrocious. If I do not get a reply within a day for my mail and if my connection is not provided. I will be forced to take this issue to Consumer Forum.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

K Mohan

Dear Sir,
I have been doing recharge of INR 295 towards my airtel mobile [protected] for more than 5 yrs for Full TT. Last time when i did the same recharge, It got credited towards some special pack (giving 10 p/min to local airtel for 2 months). I tried calling Customer care a lot on 121 but either call is not connected or it gets disconnected in between. Sir, It is utter disappointing to change the plan suddenly (especially, if its running for so long) without intimation.
I request you to please revert the recharge and give me Full TT for 295.

Thanks for your co-operation,
