Respected Sir/Madam,

I am holding a Airtel Mobile No-[protected] from approximately from Last 8
Years due to some financial problems i was unable to pay the bills but it is
not done intentionally hope you understand the situation, But on 11 October
2012 my family members and friends started receiving harassing calls from
[protected] a Airtel Collection team from New Delhi the caller Name- Riya and
Supervisor Mr. Sharma and they said that Mr. Sai Sunder Pandey is 420 and
you are a guarantor for paying the due amount, during calling all these people
they called my wife they abused her and said your husband call to other girls
between 12AM to 4 AM, Now this wrong statement has created a family problem for
me and they have spoiled my image in front of my close ones ,now the situation
is serious that I might take some wrong steps it may be a suicide attempt also
as my marriage is on stake, I hope you can understand my problem because they
are not authorized to use my personal call details.



I request you please take a strict action against the team members of Bharti Airtel

    Hi,

    I am writing this mail to express my frustration towards the bad customer service I have been receiving.
    My account # [protected].
    Whenever I call, my call is transferred to the Technical Team, where I am put on hold for several minutes and at last being disconnected.
    If this is the kind of service you intend to provide...please disconnect the connection with immediate effect and let me know the charges accumulated till date on pro-rata basis.

    I have been unable to connect to the wi-fi connection with one of my laptops. Also when I connect through the lan cable, it gives me download speed of around 1.2 mbps.

    Please fix this immediately or let me know if you can't/don't want to fix the issue.
    I very well see that Airtel is going the way of being a good consumer friendly company to a non-consumer friendly.

    Airtel Postpaid — Worst services in the whole WORLD!

    I strongly agree with above complaints. I am also facing some issues with regard to the bill payment. I paid whole amount which was stated in the bill. But the data entry team wrongly up dated the amount and now i am getting continuous calls and messages from the company. I complained many time to the customer service team but they dont know how to resolve the issue. For the last two months i have been strugling with the Airtel people. I want to know what does the company mean by customer satisfaction. Now i am going to cancell this worst service.

    And i have a request also: Please dont cheat your customers

    i want to go for police cmplaint against them
    Hi,

    A day or 2 before Dec 26, 2007, I called customer service of Airtel for the disconnection of my landline no 42331614. However, in turn they tried to retain me promising a Wi Fi Router on rental basis (Rs. 99 per month) which must have been installed latest by Dec 30, 2007. When the router wasn't installed at my home as per their deadline, I again called their customer service and requested for cancellation. But nothing happened and when today (Jan 02, 2008) I once again called them, they informed me that the connection had already been cancelled on Dec 26, 2007. It means that my rental plan was seized and I have been using the connection since then as per my rental plan. Now they will charge me a hefty amount as per their charges. Please tell me whom to contact in this situation.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Airtel Pune Maharashtra — Monopoly and poor customer care

    Hello Friends
    I am using Airtel number from last 3.5 year which is a post paid number. If someone else is using Airtel they must be aware of week customer care, network problem, down systems, tremendous marketing call s for Credit card, insurance, mutual funds etc. But this time they are doing something different Airtel is changing billing cycle without your permission, Airtel reduced my credit limit from Rs 6, 500 to Rs 1, 500 I have never defaulted my bills as I have auto pay options from my netbanking, they started SMS service with out my permission, stopped GPRS and list goes on. When I am calling customer care every executive is answerless and helpless as well.

    AirTel — worst kind of services

    I'm airtel prepaid mobile user for past 6 months. But in last 6 months 1-2 times they had charged me without informing about it. This happens like that the airtel customer care agent calling me disturbing me first and directly telling me that we are activating caller tune to your mobile, if you like it pls keep continue as it is but if you don't then pls sms us for deactivating the service. He purposely never informed me about charges of Rs.30 that would going deduct from prepaid amount. After one hour of activating I get sms of charges deduction, when tried to contact they could not clarify the complain. Again Airtel's mobile is not good we have to out of my house and stand on road to get range.

    Airtel Postpaid Connection — Being Loyal doesn't pay any good in Telecom

    I have Airtel Postpaid connection from last 4 years, Still I have the same plan which was given to me @ the time getting the connection.They have never revised the call rates even a single time.
    I have contacted for the same with Airtel Customer Care but didnt get any positive response it went on like a loop.Have already told them to disconnect the connection and adjust my security deposit and send across the last bill.The only reason i keeping the number is because i have using it for last 4 years.
    Now waiting for new rule on 31st Dec, which will allow me to change the service provider.

    Advise to all friend who want to use Airtel Postpaid connection : - Please stick to prepaid Connection as the revision in any call rate you can get the lastest market going rates.
    Dear Reader,

    Firstly i would suggest " Please donot fall in trap of Airtel DTH with the offers given by then to fish customers " They have a totally screwed up system of customer handling.

    Due to change in my living rooms layout i had to relocate the DTH TV Set Top Box. I had request aitrel for the relocation on 10th July 2010, and i was assured that the same shall be done by 12th July 2010 3:00 pm. When no one came to attend the same even at 6 :30 pm then i called up airtel again on 12th July. I was assured that a service engineer would visit my place then very next day i.e. on 12th July 2010 by 12 noon. When no one came to attend the same even at 6 :30 pm then i called up airtel again and spoke to a supervisor whose name, as informed me is Ravi Khendelwal. He assured me that my issue would definitely be resolved by 13th July 2010 by 12 noon. When no one came to attend the same even at 6 :30 pm then i called up airtel again, and the same commitment was given to me. Today on the 20th July 2010 my issue is still un resolved and i have called more than 25 times to Airtel. But sadly ......

    Nothing is done...

    ABSOLUTELY TRUE !!!

    AIRTEL IS MOST FAMOUS FOR CHEATING CUSTOMERS
    I purchased a new airtel dth connection through IVR via Airtel customer Care on 02/11/2010 and my transaction ID is 11609722, at the time of purchase the sales person Mr Sanjay from airtel customer care assure me that connection will be established within 48 hrs but it is surprising that after the time duration has expired I call customer care about 20 times and all are promise to resolve the issue within 48 hrs.After inform to the airtel haryana nodal office on 8th nov they install the dish and set top box but still the connection not activated .I asked to customer care and they inform me that no package has been selected against my customer ID.The other thing is the nodal office advice me contact to the nearest dealer whether I have not purchase from dealer but still I tried severel time to contact the dealers phone (kabir enterprise, mob-[protected]) but he is not ready to recieve the phone.
    this is the history and the conclusion is after purchasing the connection on 2nd nov stil the value for money is NIL.

    sir,
    am an airtel prepaid user.on 9 dec 2010 i reported a problem at the customer care because my balance reduced from rs 11 to zero,while using internet.after that i varified my mobile office balance,and .35 mb was left at that time.this was varified by customer care executive allso and he asked to contact again after 2 or 3 days.after that i contacted customer care and now they are saying that balance reduced because my mobile office balnce was reduced.but it was allready confirmed that .35 mb was left on 9th.
    It's the worst customer service I have ever come across.

    First of all their DTH doesn't work. We have a shared dish and every now and then - we get the video-problem! On calling the customer desk - it takes >20-30mins to register the complaint. The complaint gets marked resolve automatically without any action being initated from Airtel.

    I will NOT SUGGEST ANYONE to go with AIRTEL DTH.
    The airtel customer care seems to be the worst among all other telecommunication service providers in India.I am facing a lot of trouble in just converting a postpaid number to prepaid.They doesn't even bother to provide the necessary information's to their customers,and their relationship centers are places just to collect forms and throws into trash bins without processing it.
    Hi Rakesh this is really interesting! this is the second time with airtel happens so that, you guys come down to resolve my issue after me taking the last step of disconnecting airtel! well, i am now happily using VODAFONE my number is [protected], i bought this just 10 minutes after i cancelled my new airtel connection ([protected])...i bought this connection on 21-june-11 in "airwave communication" in Porur, Chennai. Agent Lakshmi told me that my new connection will be activated by 1900Hrs on the same day and she gave me a number saying that is her number and i can get in touch with her if i need her help with my new connection. @ 1900 hrs i Text her asking her not to forget my activation as it is not activated by that time...infact till the next day (22-june-11) 1400Hrs. There are 3 contacts number of "air wave communication" i could find online and i called all these numbers minimum 30 times and all numbers just kept ringing and none picked up. By this time i was already boiling because i had no phone to use, i could not do my business as i text all my people as this is my new number thinking this will get activated on same day @ 1900 hrs. also to my bankers.

    HERE COMES THE REAL PROBLEM :
    i went physically to airwave communication in porur, chennai...standing outside i dialed their contact numbers I WITNESSED YOUR PEOPLE SITTING IDLE LOOKING AT SOME CORNER WITHOUT PICKING THE PHONE...i am serious! then i went inside...shouted (as i am supposed to) and asked them for a refund!WELL SHE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE PAPERS OUT AND GAVE ME THE MONEY! they never wanted to apologize for their mistake! well fair enough! VODAFONE was not too far! and my new number just got activated within 4 hours from the time i cancelled my airtel and their outlet is really amazing and they looked like real communication tech's who had real good tech skills.

    i paid airwave INR 2500 to get this fancy??? number with out any bill but in vodafone they charged me only 1000 for a better number and THEY GAVE ME A BILL for every single penny. i am not upset with airtel for this one incident...i have already PORTed out my airtel number - [protected] - due to the same reason...and another incident for a number [protected] for porting it from Vodafone to Airtel(this one i had already mentioned in this site...CAN YOU BELIEVE IT TOOK 7 DAYS OF FIGHTING WITH AIRWAVE PEOPLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE)...all these 3 incidents taught us that AIRTEL has the most worst service in the world.

    CONCLUSION:

    INCLUDING ME 10 AIRTEL NUMBER FROM MY FAMILY ALREADY APPLIED FOR PORTING TO VODAFONE THEY ARE

    THIS IS JUST NOT THE END. I KNOW AIRTEL HAS THE BEST SERVICE IN THIS COUNTRY BUT YOUR CUSTOMER CARE, RELATION CENTERS ARE PUTTING THE BRAND DOWN! by this way i am sure even Sharukh khan will change his brand to some other service provider. please do not call me as i am already with VODAFONE...try to fix things to avoid such incidents in future!

    Thank you for reading!
    Complain Registration No: 38702195
    I moved to Airtel service provider 4-5 days back availing the porting facility since earlier Idea didn't had good coverage in my area. Since that day my outgoing SMS is blocked. I called up Airtel's customer service and was told to verify the servicecenter no etc. and found that everything was ok. Then I tried with some other SIM card from a different service provider and found that I was able to send the SMSes. The other phone using my Airtel's SIM card now was not able to send SMS.
    Again called up customer service and registered complain and I was told that within 24 hrs the issue would be resolved. NOTHING happened. Again I called up the customer service and was again promised that within 24 hrs my issue would be resolved. This time got a call from a reprsentative of Airtel that some executive will meet me in the afternoon to resolve the issue. NO one turned up and on calling the executive I was told that he would meet me in another 20mins. DID NOT COME. Again on calling was told that he would come in another 30mins. The person did not come the whole day.
    I am really disappointed with the Airtel's service and would probably look for some other service provider.
    I, Vishwameet Chawla, being an ardent customer of Airtel, with my mobile,TV, Broadband and land line phone all provided through Airtel, was shocked with the blatantly rude behavior of Airtel's call center executives. Jayant (Rep) and Amit Saini (Floor Supervisor) were contacted today for a problem in my land line phone which existed for the last 15 days. I was conveyed that the splitter is at fault and I need to buy it. Politely, I inquired to Airtel's representative, why do I need to pay for such a petty thing? And more so, is there any leverage of being a preferred customer? To which, I was very rudely told that we can't help it the polices are changed. I further asked how can they as an organization change the policies without taking customer's consent. The shocker continued and Airtel's supervisor after a tiff, said, you can go legal and we (Airtel) will talk to you in legal language, now.

    With all the above in perspective, the questions that I request to be answered are:

    First and foremost, what kind of customer etiquette's are being conveyed to these representatives? I wonder if they are just acting in their own self obsessed individual capacities or are they been conveyed that they are the face of Airtel?
    How can there be a one-sided change to the policies? That too without the customer conveying an active cognizance of the same?
    Why can't Airtel change such a petty thing like a splitter? More so, when the customer has not consented/acknowledged the policy change? I am not sure, if being a preferred customer helps here in any way.

    Considering all this there are a few more generic queries:

    Why shouldn't I discontinue using Airtel Mobile as a retraction? (I know you having a monopolist position in Land line and broadband market in NCR, leaves me with no such option, there)
    Why shouldn't I start bad mouthing Airtel in my virtual and physical space?
    Lastly, why shouldn't I contemplate taking this to a consumer court?

    I will eagerly wait for somebody with greater sense and responsibility to reply at the earliest.
    Mu Aug 12 Airtel bill dated 6th Aug 2012 was of 342 rs for which i made a payment through HDFC bank on 8 Aug 2012 of 340 Rs ( same is reflected in HDFC bank statement ). But when next bill comes this month , it shows that previous bill of 342 rs. was due for payment & they have also charged 100 rs as late payment fee.

    inspite of complaing twice they are not eager to sort out my issuse. they are just ignoring it.


    I want to change the service provider by keeping same mobile no.

    Please help.

    I have started call my friend in South Africa, the first day i called in it charged me rs25.00 per in i felt OK with that as it was an international call than i realized why not take a plan for international calling, so i called the customer service today 11 april 2013 morning and spoke to one of the female agent the first question i asked her that what are the call charges for south Africa she kept me on mute for 4 in and came up with an answer is rs 12.00 per min than i asked her why have been charged rs 25.00 per min, she kept e on hold for another 2 min and then returned saying i am transferring the call (she didn't tell me where and for what )
    than another agent on the line comes he is not aware what discussion i had with the last agent, i ask him the same question he keeps me on mute for 12:00 min and returns back its rs 7.00 per min i ask him a question why have you charged me rs 25.00, he comes up with an answer the rs 7.00 per min is for mobile not for land line so i ask him how much is land line he keeps me on mute for 18:00 in stating that you were correct i would log a complaint and he disconnects the call.
    then i call back again i speak to an agent stating that previous adviser informed me he is going to log a complaint regarding the call charges he comes up with an answer that the last call charges are rs 9.00 I informed him mad i am not talking about that the rs 9.00 is been charged because i was speaking to a previous adviser from last 29 to 40 min, in the whole discussion in-spite of asking what is the query adviser asked me a question what did you said (in a rude way) so i informed hi i told you mad so he told me thank you for the call and disconnected the line
    after that i tried calling the customer care and was not able to speak to an agent as the agent might have blacklisted me.
    its seems Airtel is hiring Kings & Queen and biggest news advisers don't know to speak English and in airtel is the other way round advisers are paid to get service from the customer not to give

          hello sir,
          my name is Adv.namrapali b.gondane.i always faced the problem about the airtel sim card and very important thing is that without my permission your company started the service and my balance automatically deducted from my account .so i am not doing any request to you because this is not my first time to inform to you .this is my 10 th time to inform to you.so again today i was called to your consumer toll free no.but i didnot get any response.so i think that if my problem will not solved by your company then i wiil send the legal notice from court.so i want the reply otherwise i will do.i want reply very fast .ok.

            As a subscriber of 'South Super Value Sports' pack, I was enjoying ESPN, Star Sports & Star Cricket for the last few years. Effective today, Airtel has removed these channels from the pack and replaced them with Trace Sports & Sony Six, which I guess nobody would choose to watch. And, if I have to continue enjoying the original channels, I need to pay more. When I initially went for Airtel Digital, I had compared the packages with those from the competitors and decided on Airtel. Now, I am having to repent whether my choice was wrong. I have been searching consumer forums and my feelings have been echoed by many customers of Airtel. This amounts to plain cheating by Airtel.

                  I am a ported Customer From Aircel. [protected]
                  I have been renewed for fusion longue.The thing is i dint get the activation Message .
                  I called up CC in the evening today and I’m put through to an inexperienced young Man struggling to speak . Fine. Most of Airtel’s CC is of this type anyway. What pissed me off was that even though he had heard about Fusion Lounge, he had NO idea how it was activated, he wouldn’t agree he about that, and rushed me up into deactivating it. Throughout the call the rep blamed ME for the activation and said that it was entirely MY fault. I mean, WTF? Here I was having absolutely no idea what Fusion () Lounge is and he’s telling me I had activated it. After I strongly objected, he told me I must have activated it without my knowledge.
                  Hoping that they would deactivate it.Just now i again called them for the confirmation of the deactivation .
                  I have recieved message that jokes service is activated on my airtel mobile no. [protected].

                    Hi,

                    Past few weeks we have a serious issue in the network connectivity from Airtel.
                    Problems faced in the past week:-

                    • Calls are not getting connected,
                    • Many people are not able to call our numbers,
                    • During a call many a times it gets muted and we can't hear anything
                    • Calls getting disconnected in between.
                    • Battery draining to less than 40-50% without any outgoing/incoming calls.

                    The above problems are reported by many people and not just few.
                    Hope this would be fixed in a few days or else we may need to think of switching to other networks

                    Airtel — Very bad network connectivity

                    I have been complaining Airtel that there is poor network connectivity. They have not taken any significant action.
                    I have booked multiple complaints over the past 2 years and above no significant improvements.
                    Tried speaking to the regional head office as well no body is bothered about the same. I even asked them to ask their manager to call me back it has been ages no call has been done from their end

                    Airtel — Poor quality of network

                    The quality of the signal is poor causing breaks in communication leading to loss of business activities. This is happening since more than a month. The service is very poor at Jhinkpani dist west singhbhum. Peope are unable to communicate personal and business related messages. Quality of the voice signal is very poor and frequent interuptions are there. There is no attempt from Airtel to solve or rectify their system.

                              Dear Sir,

                              I have closed the connection with respect to Airtel Digital TV consumer id [protected] on 20.11.2012 against the reference no. 26153828.

                              CPE recovery reference no.26174392 is created on 21.11.2012.

                              The Set Top Box (STB) and Antenna are not collected till today (29.11.2012) from my place.

                              Again I received another CPE recovery reference no.26284442 created on 26.11.2012.

                              Before closing the CPE recovery reference 26174392 created on 21.11.2012, why another CPE reference no.26284442 created on 26.11.2012. Please explain.

                              I want the devices should be taken at the earliest from my place.

                              Also the amount I paid should be refunded properly on time.

                              Unnecessarily this process is getting delayed towards the motive of grabbing the amount I paid initially.

                              If this practice continues, it will lead to a legal action against Airtel Digital TV.

                              I will consider this email as a proof of submission in case of legal movement against Airtel Digital TV.

                              I am expecting a proper response for this mail.

                              Regards,
                              Rajesh Lingadurai
                              Complaint marked as Resolved 
                              This complaint is closed after a hectic follow up. However I am totally disappointed with the service from Airtel Digital TV. Since most of the customers not approaching consumer court, these companies are taking advantages over Consumers. Government has given all local Cable TV to big bosses of India, they are exploting the consumers.
                              Dear Mr. Deepak Mohod

                              I am not expecting your apologizes. I came to know to from your customer service that, if a CPE recovery reference number is created, your device should be taken from my place within 48 hours.

                              But my connection is closed on 20.11.2012.

                              Till date I have 4 unclosed CPE reference numbers with me.

                              Could you please explain what is the need for creating multiple CPE reference numbers when the first one is still open without any action.

                              Keeping your device in my home is really trouble for me. Why should I keep your device at my cost.

                              Please consider this post as a legal notice.

                              Let us meet in consumer court.

                              Regards,
                              Rajesh Lingadurai

                                I AND MY HUSBAND MOHD. YASIN HAVE 3 AIRTEL LAND LINE NUMBERS[protected],[protected],[protected]. FOR THE LAST ONE WE HAVE REQUESTING AIRTEL TO DEACTIVATE "HUNTING FACILITY" ON THESE 3 NUMBERS. AND THIS FACILITY WAS PROVIDED BY AIRTEL ON THEIR OWN AND WE DID NOT WANT IT. WE HAD MADE INNUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BUT TO NO AVAIL. DAY BEFORE AGAIN WE MADE A COMPLAINT NO.: 25268602. THIS WAS CHANGED TO 25327034 YESTERDAY AND AGAIN CHANGED TO 25344406 TODAY MORNING.

                                THESE NUMBERS ARE BEING USED IN OUR BUSINESS PREMISES.

                                NOW AIRTEL HAS GONE AND DEACTIVATED NO.:[protected] COMPLETELY AND ARE SAYING THAT IT WILL TAKE THEM 7 DAYS TO RESTORE/ACTIVATE THE PHONE BACK, AS THE SAME HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED AT THEIR BACKEND OFFICE.

                                MY QUESTION IS WHO WILL PAY FOR THE BUSINESS LOSS WE WILL BE SUFFERING WITHOUT PHONE FOR A WEEK? WHOSE FAULT IS IT - AIRTEL. WHEN WE HAVE ONLY ASKED THE HUNTING FACILITY TO BE DEACTIVATED.

                                  For past one week, my phone has been deducting my balance without me actually making a single call. Earlier they were cutting 10 paisa... now its moved to Rs. 2. 40 paise. The message keeps coming in with the amount it is deducting and my current balance.. The call duration is always shown zero. I have tried calling their customer care but none of their executives are busy. I had recharged my phone with 100 Rs and now i have .21 paise left in my account and at least half the amount has been self deducted (WITHOUT ME MAKING A SINGLE CALL)
                                  Kindly look into my matter, its high time Airtel stop telling public how its the no. 1 telecommunication company and advertising it continuously.

                                    This is in regard to the unnecessary deduction of value regularly from my mobile connection for last 2-3 weeks . I am Sumantra Sarathi Das and my pre paid mobile no is [protected].
                                    I am in utter surprise that from last 2-3 weeks again there is constantly value deduction from my number .it is very surprising that there is no customer service person to respond to my call. How can Airtel activate any scheme in my number without asking me.
                                    This same incident happened many times in my mobile number previosly.Later when approached consumer forum, airtel reembursed my money..
                                    Plz look into the issue .

                                    Thankyou

                                      I have switched to from TATA DOCOMO network to AIRTEL network a month ago
                                      (due to very low network coverage of docomo in my office) by
                                      submission of proof in AnnaNagar Airtel showroom, I used it for the first two
                                      weeks without any inconvenience, but on 16.11.2012 Friday morning my outgoing
                                      calls were blocked. Then I went to AnnaNagar Airtel showroom on that day
                                      evening itself and submitted my proofs again, they said it will be activated
                                      with in three working days. But it was not activated.

                                      Then I went to AnnaNagar Airtel showroom again on 21.11.2012 they said that the
                                      form was submitted from our end dated 20.11.2012 with LCS No.28. They asked me
                                      to call from the landline(prepaid) in showroom. One of the customer care
                                      employee picked up and said it will be activated in an hour but it was not
                                      activated(note: when i enquired customer care executive said that my outgoing
                                      calls were blocked due to loss of mobile on 21.11.2012).

                                      Again i went to AnnaNagar Airtel showroom on 23.11.2012, one of the employee
                                      asked me to call from the landline available, when i called one picked up the
                                      call and said it was released and you will be able to make outgoing calls.

                                      But today morning(27.11.2012) my incoming calls were also blocked. When i
                                      called to customer care from another number they said my number was deactivated
                                      for not submitting the proof.

                                      I was using this number for the past five years. I have given this number for
                                      all sort of official and banking purpose.

                                      Note: When ever i call to customer care employees are giving fake information.

                                      Kindly let me know whats happening on your side and I want my number back again
                                      in active condition as soon as possible.

                                      Hi,
                                      I am Ashok. I have been using Airtel service for past 3 and half years and my mobile number is [protected]. Around 8 months back I have taken two more Airtel numbers [protected] and [protected] with the same address proof on same day. But currently [protected] mobile number is terminated and I am not able to use the [protected] number anymore. But [protected] is working fine, which has been taken with the same address proof.

                                      I spoke to AIrtel customer care executives on November 4,2009 around 10.40 AM IST. They are helpless. THEY DISCONNECTED MY CALL BEFORE EVEN I COMPLETE MY CONVERSATION.So this made me to feel bad about Airtel service and I have deactivated my Hello tune service for [protected].
                                      Before 3 or 4 months ( approximately ) the outgoing call facility for [protected] was deactivated and when I contacted to Airtel customer care they asked my address. I gave my address details and then the outgoing call facility was activated for [protected].

                                      But finally now Customer care executives are saying that my Address details are not given for [protected]. I have used same address proof details for all my three numbers listed below.
                                      1. [protected]
                                      2. [protected]
                                      3. [protected]

                                      Kindly let me know the reason why Airtel people are asking address details for [protected] alone and why not for other two numbers([protected], [protected]).

                                      Kindly do the needful ASAP.
