Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I need details about my outgoing charges in this number ([protected]) and whats the cost of per sms

Yes, this is the main problem..Everybody is subscribed heavily to so and so packages and left with no scope for a change for fear of losing money. Nothing can be sure. Here, most of the people are above the Rs250 / month pack and we are getting the basic channels plus some unwanted channels.
I am subscribed to South economy Sports pack and from today Im getting only ten sports channels & DD sports plus one new sports channel Trace..nothing else in sports. Then in addition to that I dont have any English Movie channels also, but still they are debiting my account with Rs 10.31, thats more than Rs 300 / month. But there is a little hope that i could change the service provider since i pay for only 1 month at a time, whatever be the offer.

Even I have same issue.

I'm also facing the same issue. There was no notification from Airtel on this, no SMS, no calls. I dont understand how they can suddenly change the package that they have taken and without notice. I'm trying to call customer service, but lines are busy. They keep calling you for feedback, and keep sneding messages for various reaons, but it comes to increasing prices or changing packages, no news. Awesome customer service.

I have not subscribe to BOLLYWOOD MMS service of airtel. But airtel give me a message 3:30pm today, that BOLLYWOOD MMS service is active in your mobile at Rs2/day. They gave a number *121*5# to manage this service. But when I dial, it gave a massage, "Press Exit for main Menu". This how airtel fool its subscribers. If they fool 1cr people they an Rs 2cr rupees. Please take necessary action against these people. I think many people are victim of such offers. Why should I give Rs 2/day to these cheaters. Lets give complain in large scale such that they stop doing cheating.

I agree. Just got my Airtel hd+ connection. First of all the installation was not upto my satisfaction.
Then csk. Believe they are the worst. They are just but threads.

I have a Postpaid connection. I have been facing Network trouble since past 2 years. Everytime I make a complain, they FORWARD IT TO THE RELEVANT DEPARTMENT who are supposed to get back to me in 24 - 48 hrs, which NEVR HAPPENS. After 5 days, I find out the complain is resolved... I wonder how does that happen?

Airtel — poor attitude and pathetic services

sir
1. i am an army officer posted in ahmadnagar .i took a mobile postpaid connection no [protected] from airtel on 11 oct and had paid one month rental of it for rs 374.00.
2. i had deposited all the docs to the ahmadnagar office but the service provider has deactivated my services thrice in this one month stating that i had not deposited the same.
3. after enquiring about it at your airtel office ahmadnagar i am told that the docs have been sent and they will be checking the same with their head office .
4. after 15 days i.e today, i am suddenly told that your services are barred as your docs are incomplete. if that was so why my services were continued for one month and bill forwarded to me on my address nothing much then at least some kind of warning and some time could be given to rectify it.
5 i am highly aggrieved by this behaviour and careless attitude towards your customers and will be lodging a complaint abt it in the forum.
6. this is for your information .

Airtel — Pathetic Service Provider In India

Dear All,

I think airtel is the most pathetic network provider in country.
they are in market just to exploit customer. in the era of globalization where customers are treated as GOD and KING, bloody airtel people believe that they themselves are god. i am using blackberry enterprise service paying Rs. 899 as monthly rental for that and calling rental seperate. yesterday i gat a mail from airtel that we can download uncensored big boss videos without mentioning any terms and condition or whether its chargeable or free. i clicked on the link and the next moment i got a message from airtel stating that i have been charged for Rs. 99 as charges of same. i called up the customer care they said they cant help it and i have to pay 99 as rental. i shouted her that i have already taken unlimited downloading plan then why to pay 99 extra, she said since u clicked it u have to pay. its not a matter of 99 rupees but its abouit cheating innocent customers. they are trapping and cheating customers. thats it.

i have activated missed call alert service from them. i have been charged rental of same every month but i never recieve a single message from them. despite the fact that my office colleagues, freinds, family, etc. keeps on complaining that my cell is never reachable.

GUYS THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR THIS IS THAT FROM 1ST DECEMBER WE CAN SWITCH TO OTHER SERVICE PROVIDER AND OUR MOBILE NUMBER WOULD BE SAME.
I AM DESPERATELY WAITING FOR 1ST DEC TO CHANGE THIS PATHETIC SERVICE.
YOU GUYS ALSO CHANGE THE SERVICE.

THEN Mr. SUNIL MITTAL WILL COME TO KNOW THAT CUSTOMERS WHERE USING AIRTEL NOT BECAUSE OF SHAHRUKH KHAN OR SAIF ALI KHAN BUR BECAUSE THEY DONT WANTED TO CHANGE THERE NUMBER.

GOD BLESS TO SUNIL MITTAL AND THE SO CALLED BHARTI GROUP...

AirTel — Worst service provider

I had lodged a compliant to the airtel digital TV customer care 7 days back.Everyday I am calling them atleast 3 times a day asking to resolve the issue.We are unable to view any channels and hence we requested the customer care to ask the engineer visit our residence to lookninto the issue.Everytime we are geeting a false commitment that the engineer would be contacting you, or reaching the residence in next 1 hour, however nobody turms up.Everytime they raise a service desk ticket and without resolving the issue they send an sms to our mobile confirming that the issue has been resolved and the ticket is closed.We lodged a compliant for the same however no action was taken.Till today nobody has turned up or called us for resolution of the issue.This is the worst service provider we have ever come across.We strongly recommed no customer should use such service provider if they dont value the customer.

India top and most pathetic and worst telecom srvice provider is AIRTEL it is in all aspects they cover everything in being bad the most pathetic customer serivce and worst attitude of the customer service personnel, the network is bad always and everywhere, calls keep droping. No connections. the system on its own shows our device as shut down. THere is no voice clarity. apart from these technica
l issues they have billing issues too they show some thing else when we sign up for the plan but the truth is they change as they wish, the call rates are totally different from what we are shown and what we get in our bills, they are really bad guys who dupe people. No one should be encouraged to use airtel, I will honestly cherish the moment this company drowns. I will never wish this company anything good. Their customer service people have actually harrased me badly. Since we dont have easy access to any lawyer they think they can do anything they want. How do we free of cost put a legal case against such stupid and worst companies. The biggest case was even when i had cancelled my number 6 months ago by even talking to their call centre people and writing official emails they kept generating bills with rental plans of Rs 599 per month and for 6 months they dragged this issue and never actaully cancelled the number and finally when i did not pay the rental amount they sent a legal notice, what the [censored] i have cancelled this number but still they generated the bills and dragged the issue for 6 months and then made me pay by sending legal notcies such is the bad practice of airtel. also behold this plan of Rs 599 monthly rental also was not choosen by me but these people automatically updated this plan on my number even without telling me such worst attitude of these companies. For the money they have looted from me they will suffer badly and trust me such type of attitude will bring this company down very soon

Same with me...I am in call from morning with AIRTEL guys but no use... I have specifically taken the package for the 3 channels and now they removed the channels... when i ask them to atleast cancel the package, they say they cant do it also...

Is there anyway we can put a case in consumer court on this??

Aravind

Hi,

Same with me, I called airtel digital customer care ref#[protected], they have remove the 3 channels without any notification to customer..
Airtel is forcing there customer to buy the 3 channel package.They are openly cheating /burgle the customers

Guys, also register your complaint on [protected]@in.airtel.com


Thanks,

Package: South economy sports

Few months back airtel removed AXN, UTV World movies and all english news channels from my package (except NDTV). The price was also increase from Rs. 232 to Rs 250 pm.

Now they have sent a message that star sports, espn and star cricket will also be removed.

How can they keep removing channels and increase the price without customer's approvla?
They might have added some Zee channels which I never watch!!!

Why should I pay for a package which has no channels that I need.

I want english news channels and Sports channels. Thats why I took south econoomy sports.

Please provide a resolution. Contact me on my email

The same problem with airtel for me also.
They are saying the package as South economy sports and removing the sports channel's.

They have removed espn, star sports, star cricket and that too without intimation.
When i called customer service they said from 1st dec we have removed these 3 channels from all pacakges and have to pay extra 50 rupees pm for these channels.

They have added two other channels which I never watch.

why should I pay extra for the channels which I don't watch.

Hi,

I am a Airtel Digital TV customer, i have complaint regarding their plan change activities

Pack : Economy Sports Pack

From today Airtel DTH people have removed ESPN, STAR SPORTS and STAR CRICKET from Economy Sports Pack. But how can they change the already decided plan, i am paying Rs. 275 for watching all these channels in a single pack. I have already done an advance payment of 1 year for this plan only. Now Customer care is asking me to either change the plan to MEGA or else subscribe for ESPN sports pack worth Rs. 50 p.m. Isn't this is a clean cheating with us? I would also like to question Airtel as they seem present here you people are celebrating from last few days cause you have been ranked a No. 1 trusted brand in this country by one survey and don't you think so trust has been broken here. I am Airtel customer from past 6 years, and i really don't want to switch to some other product.

customer id : [protected]

The same mentioned problem for me.

When i contacted customer care, they told that plan is changed by their own. and they replaced with Sony six and some xyz junk channel. and made Discovery chanel tamil free. Did we ask these things ??

my name is Ravikumar i am also facing the same problem, they have removed star sports package without any intimation. how could they do that without any intimation . I have been using this from past 2.5 yrs. So soon i am going to change connection.for people who want to go for new connection dont choose AIRTEl its worst and price also very high. go for videocon or tata sky

customer id:[protected], my name is Gurdeep Singh, Iam facing a very same problem, they removed star sports, espn, n most important channel star cricket, without any information which is very bad, iam using this connection from last three years.now iam not happy from my connection n iam going to change my connection, plz start espn, star cricket, star sports again, otherwise i will change my connection.

I have just now spoke with the customer care executive and then escalated the same issue to the manager. The manager could only say that they their budget was not fitting and it is the decision of the company.
I asked them why the customers view/opinion was not taken before they took this action. why should we compromise at this extent.
My request to all other customers/viewers like me---- Please raise your voice. Don't keep mum. We unitedly can fight against such an injustice.

Thanks
S Bhattacharjee

I too have the same kind of problem. I am also told these sports channel will be removed from 15-Jan-2013 because its a HD connection and free for only 3 months.
I never told all these when i opted for the package.
I also opted for an add on connection with south economy sport package but am not geting Start cricket espn etc...
If i would have known before i wouldnt have gone for Airtel DTH add on connection.
No communication happening in front of removing channels from what they promise.
When I spoke to the customer care they keep on saying airtel has decided nothing they can do on these things.
Completely dissatisfied with Airtel DTH

My airtel customer ID is [protected] & emailid is [protected]@gmail.Com

AirTel — Inconvenience in services

I have complaint many times but there is no one to listen to me about the network problem that is going on I amsuffering from this problem since one and the half year. Whenever I call them they just say that there is temprary problem going on and soon they could resolve it. But till 24/06/08 they have done nothing. Nearby to my home there is MDS Universty and they are not taking it seriously. What should be done? Whom should I complain.

Thankyou

We have registered with Airtel for a new Broad Bans & Land connection by payibg Rs. 500/- on 14 July 2011 vide CEF No.2803672. During the booking it was informed that the connection will be commissioned within 2/3 days.

Since 18.07.2011 I have been trying with all resources to get the connection or getting the connection resolved. At different time a different stories are being told. I have been asked to contact one Mr. Sarkar of Airtel-Tecjnical incharge(Mob:[protected]. Though I had been in touch with him he will give ftresh assurance. Subsequently he has not been receiving the Phone or is Metro or sick and would call me. He has neverresponded of his own.

I was also informed to contact one Mr Amit Rajput, marketing incharge of the area(Mob:[protected]. He either does not receives the phone or replies that he will return the call. At times he tells that if the connection has not been made through, to send him the SMS.

I am of the opinion that Airtel is not only Technically incompetent, they are administratively inacapable in resolving to the issues faced by the customers. I have logged down all details of all contacts/efforts to approach Airtel officials so that the real problem is surfaced. I have also forwarded my complains to the Nodal officer & Appelate officer(Del). Even these offcials atre also sleeping. I have now surrundered and thought of not wasting my energy and time in pursuing further. Surprisingly, no response are there from Airtel to know what happened to the booking.

Is it this way of earning revenue by taking Rs.500/- and harass customer. I know, I will not get any response from now also, but surrundering is what I am not in a position to accept. I will see the end of it even it requires to approach your CEO, Mr. Mittal

where ever you go the problem will come with u. not an issue. As per pt.5 d lady honestly disconnected 'you' but did she pay back your advance. And 2 my experience Airtel are NOTORIOUS people NOTED for swindling money. mail them. get reply. take copies o[censored]r mail and their reply and file cheating case in police.

All the required documents and photos have been submitted and verification also completed but they are not activating the service

dear mr. dont wait fr toms all life take to action. send mails receive reply and file case in consumercourt nw imd. cheap and best.
