Hi,

Am Dhanish from chennai, I made a purchase of Airtel Digital HD box as a multi connection add on to customer id [protected] by calling 12148 ( Airtel Direct Sales over Phone ) on August 14th. I Spoke with Indirajit and paid Rs.2120 using credit card via IVR. Reference no of transaction is 20926439. Indirajit promised installation will be done within 48 hours. But still now no action has been taken, did not even got a confirmation message/acknowledgment message for the payment made.

I tried calling lot of times to 12148 and they have been promising installation will be done in next 24 hrs but no response after that. After 3 days of continuous calling, i was informed that i need to reach 12150 to get it installed. I was unable to reach indirajit after the payment.

Then i started calling 12150 for about 20 times till today. I have spoken with executives like neethu,bala etc etc... The worst part is the call got disconnected after problem explanation and callback was promised every time but no call back received.

I am really frustrated with the customer service provided by AIRTEL, its very irritating . I don't know what has to be done next to get the installation done. Anybody please help me out.... My contact no is [protected]

This is regarding the postpaid numbers [protected] using for 3G internet connection.From last 8 days my Internet is not working. When I Dial it shows connection terminated.
From 8 two days I am made several calls to airtel Internet customer care and postpaid customer care but I am not getting any valid response from them. Some times they saying my number falls in east UP and telling me to call another customer care and some times they saying system is not working.

I tried to register my complaint online on airtel web site but it says service is not workking try again latter.Even I mail my complaint on 'Airtel.[protected]@in.airtel.com'; '[protected]@in.airtel.com' but no response.Now I donot know where to put my complaint ?

This is a complaint regarding my broadband service. I'm controlling really hard not to use capital letters and abusive words. I'm this close to breaking my laptop due to the amount of frustration your service has caused me.

I've been an Airtel user for past 5 years and 4mbps user for more than 2 years now. For last few months, an annoying SmartBytes upgrade pop-up has been showing up randomly when I'm browsing.

This hinders when I'm sending an email, making a payment, normal browsing, and even when I'm playing games. It ruins the overall browsing experience.

I pay to use Internet, however, it feels like you don't want me to. Over the past few months, I have been advising close friends to not go with Airtel due to absolutely pathetic customer care. I've contacted all possible mediums, and even consumer court forum. I'm helpless, and looking at the way your company is progressing, I guess arrogance has taken the better of you. I'm lucky that I don't use your mobile services because I've been hearing nothing but complaints in that too. However, my current issue is with your annoying popup.

Are you lacking developers? Don't you have anybody with enough programming skill to remove this popup? Why are you so hell bent on advertising?

I'm afraid that this email won't even reach you. But still, I have to do what I have to do.

I hate Airtel now. I was your unofficial brand ambassador an year back, but now I am doing whatever I can to make sure you don't get broadband subscribers. You are on the top right now, but I curse you that you will fall down so hard that one day, you will realize how much pain and agony you are causing your customers.

- A disappointed customer

This is Sudhir Dhingra. I have been using the internet services of Airtel for the past 3-4 years. Till 6th of july, I was quite satisfied with the services provided but since 6th July (my first complaint registered) I am facing problems.
On 6th July 2012, i had registered complaint with the airtel customer care regarding frequent disconnection of interenet services. i am unable to use my internet services properly because of this problem. in response to my complaint, airtel sent their linemen thrice & once even changed the cable & made necessary adjustments/ corrections but without any satisfying result till date. the linemen & customer care admitted that the problem is at the airtel's part. i have made atleast 10-12 complaints during this period but it seems that this problem is not going to be solved.
so now, i want to discontinue with these internet services, so its requested to kindly disconnect the services & give the final bill. also its requested to consider this problem while finalising my bill as this was also said by the customer care centre people that if i am not getting proper services then i wont have to pay the bill as the problem is on airtel's part (since i havent got the proper services during these period, i wont be paying the bill for the time i havent use the internet services properly).
i am a regular user of these services & require the same in future as well, so you are requested to solve this issue at the earliest.

my last complaint no is 20529274

thanks & regards

I, Mr. Hiralal More, Ph No (LL[protected], a custo,er of your Airtel Broadband Service, wish to file a complaint regarding:
1. Unwanted packages like 'Zapak', 'Games' etc which were activated by the Company without prior consent
2. Billing for the same from February 2012 to June 2012 which amounts upto Rs. 3000/- including service tax.
3. Constant 'Countdown' SMSes regarding activation of the same with no options or guidelines to help deactivate before commencement of the service.
4. No call assistance, no permission to see the concerned authority in person at Pune Main Center, Swargate.

I therefore request humbly to please deactivate all of further unwanted or unsubscribed services activated without my consent also requesting waiver of the payment paid (including Service Tax) for the above term in the next billing cycle. Kindly let me know of the remediation at the earliest.
May I request you to keep in mind that any delay or ignorance of the above complaint, accounts for the Company being qualified for a Criminal Consumer Case.
Looking forward to your co-operation.
Thank You.

Dear Sir,
I have Airtel Prepaid mobile connection my Phone No. is [protected]. Last one month onwards I have noticed that Airtel is deducting money apart from call charges, which is not acceptable. I have not activated any value added services. I am very disappointed about their services.
So, please grant my complaint for airtel services & take them affective action on it.

Regards,

Vijay

This complaint is on the Airtel Relationship Centre in Alwarpet, TTK Road. I submitted a request for MNP to move from my existing Reliance GSM prepaid to Airtel prepaid. Per the process, I submitted the required documents at the centre on June 16th and was told that I would get a response/SMS from Airtel in a week. 2 weeks passed by and I did not hear back. My number continued to be with Reliance. I called up Reliance call center and spoke to the customer service reps for more than an hour. They could not diagnose the issue, they insisted the error was on Airtel's side and that they had not received any communication from Airtel. I called up Airtel call center, and again spoke to multiple reps and managers for over an hour. They were helpless since the number was not registered in their network/database. They suggested that the best way was to go back to the Airtel center where I had submitted the forms.

So, I took some time off work and stopped by at the Airtel center. This time, they said that the UPC code had expired and that they had to re-submit the request. I provided them with the updated UPC code and continued to wait for a week as they assured me it would be sorted out. This time, I noted down the phone number of the rep, Diwakar. 10 days passed by and still no response. I was furious. I complained to Airtel_presence on twitter and called their Nodal office number too. The reps seemed to be clueless about the MNP process and were not helpful. I continued to call Diwakar. After 3 calls in a single day, he responded saying that there was some error in processing the request. It could only be resolved if I went down to the Airtel office personally in Egmore. This was outrageous and I reasoned with him that I don't have the luxury of time to do that and requested the phone number of a personnel who can help at the Egmore office. He said that following up on the phone will not work and also went onto suggest that I should take permission out of office for few hours and go over to the Egmore office.

I really wish I had recorded the conversation so that Airtel understands the kind of customer service they provide. This was disrespectful behavior and I was taken aback. Pursuing this issue further would only result in the waste of my energy and time, so I did not. But I wanted to highlight it to other consumers so that you can be more cautious while dealing with them.

On 20 Aug 12 i am having about 57.80 rupees in my account and after one hour when i was calling from my phone balance was less about 1.2 rupees only. When i given a call to Customer care they had told me that net charges is being deducted. Although i was having about 22 MB left in my account net balance valid up to 20 Aug12 and after that at 0915 i recharged my account with 98 net pack on20 Aug 12. Kindly look in to the matter .as unwanted charges are being deducted from prepaid account.

I am an old customer of Airtel delhi gsm mobile services,I am very disappoint about their services.

First thing is that when ever i call customer care, there is no satisfaction response always. in last 2 days, i recharged my account balance
50rs of three times and they are deducting my balance without my permission now i have 6 rs balance, they automatically giving service of some other utility plans without prior notice.

so, i want them to return my account balance as soon as possilble, i just want stop any additional services always.
so, please grant my complaint for airtel gsm sevices & take them affective action on it.

your's faithfully

Hi,

I had a broadband connection with number [protected] in Bangalore. On 31-mar-2012 I called airtel customer care and asked them to disconnect my connection as I am relocating. I paid all the pending bill till then. The customer care person assured me they will disconnect in 7 days time.
After 3-4 days one person from airtel called and started brain-washing me to transfer connection to any my friends or relatives. I told him no one is there, ready to take the connection. He told he will get back in 2 days. He never got back. And my connection ramained active even after 7 days. I had already moved out of that house and I did not know the connection is active.
After more than a month Airtel people called me and told my connection is active and I need to pay bill for all the days for which I have not used their service. They conveniently deleted my request to disconnect and kept the connection active. I complained many times to customer care and they did not bother to correct the bill or disconnect my conection. They kept on torturing me by calling and asking to pay the bill that got accumulated over time. Now they are saying they will initiate legal procedure.

This is sheer fraud from AIRTEL. Don't believe this cheaters. When you ask for a new connection they will come and give connection in 1-2 days. They will somehow put you in highest monthly rental scheme to extract your money to the last penny. When you want to escape from their hold they will start slowing down. They want 7 days to deactivate or disconnect a service. They will pester you will calls to keep ur connection or transfer to someone else. And They will will delete your complaint and say you never raised any complaint. Dont go for this fraud company for your broadband or mobile service,
