I have an airtel internet of 15gb. My billing date is on the 5th of every month. But for the past 2 months ie July and August I have been getting messages by the 10th of the month telling me my usage is over. It is highly impossible that I used up 15gb in 5 days. I have never had this problem before. I have met many people who have complained to me about the same problem.The customer care service is very poor. I hope this issue can be sorted out soon.

AIRTEL DIGITAL TV — very bad services

Hi,

I am relocating from Pune to Navi Mumbai (Airoli). I loged a requiest - costomer care to setup my Digital TV setup box 8 days back, But no any response taken yet.

very very bad experience.

- Anand

My customer ID is [protected]) (in the name of the owner of my house). I am seeing a blank black screen on my Airtel Digital TV for last 10 days. Have been complaining regarding the same to Airtel Digital TV consistently, yet no resolution.
The worst part is that after such a pathetic experience, I intend to discontinue the service and move to some other operator. These guys are not willing to give me back the INR 500+ excess deposit (Advance payment) from my account.

Every time I call them, they say our engineer will visit your site in next two hours. Damn the same comment every time.

One I could reach some senior executive and he was all pain balm to me..Yet no resolution.

Airtel Digital: You are a bad bad service. 10 days of blank screen, and yet no resolution.

BTW I have waited like 10 hours (Atleast) on their customer care 'hold'. And have figured out easier ways to reach the customer care.
1. Do not use the tech support IVR, instead if you use a recharge one or add on/movie one, they are prompt to pick up.

Airtel Digitel TV — very very bad service

i buy airtel digitel tv and make payement on 13 august firstky it is not installed at my home after 10 days it is install and then it is not work it show error code 6 if i call customer care they tell me sir wait for 1 hour then 2 hour but not one solve my problem .
airtel digitel tv services are very very bad

Corrected: Date mention for complaint report was 13th May 2012.

hi
i called up the customer care to order a movie at 02:55 am on 05 jul 2012. The agent told me that movie has already been ordered so i will be able to see it in some time. Movie started for few seconds and then stopped. I informed abt the same to the agent aswell but he asked me to wait for some time and then he transferred the call to the supervisor. He informed me that only the next show will get played as i ordered the movie a bit late according to his system at 03:16 am which is wrong because when i asked him the current time at his place he informed me its 03:51 am whereas on all the news channels the time was 03:31 am so they have wrong timings in there system. I asked him to cancel the show and to refund the amount back as i did not have time after that. He did not agree and said he can not cancel it from his side and i will only get the refund if the movie will not get played. right now its 07:12 am but the movie still did not get started and when i asked him to transfer the call to his senior he said there is not one available rite now. Very very poor customer service. I planned to enjoy a movie and ended up with arguementing with a customer care agent for approximately half an hour in the middle of the night. What sholud i do?

Airtel — unnecessarily deducting amount from my mobile

Sir,
I am sorry to inform that within to-day, from the following numbers totoally Rs.35/- withdrawn from mobile No. [protected]. How it was happened? I have not activated any programmes?

[protected]Rs. 20/-
64611005 = Rs.5/-

Stop your deductions. Is there any unexperienced person is working in your concern? Kindly advice them to stop the same and credit the amount immediately. If there is inconvenience I am ready to proceed legally.

pls. Unsubscribe from my mobile.

Dear Sir,
I am holding airtel prepaid card no [protected]. I recharged this number on 01/08/09 for 150Rs & I received 138Rs. But today I have only 2Rs bal all the amount is automatically debited from my account. I called customer care & I found some Healthy tips VAS is activated on my number.I may inform you that I have never opted for such request as I am not aware of such useless packages. Moreover I am using this mobile only for incoming calls and am using it very rarely.The whole day I am receiving unwanted messages/calls from Airtel.
In this connection I talked to Airtel Customer care executives who told me that this amount of Rs.130 will be revert back to my account within 48 hrs of time and I will be informed about it. I am sorry to state that even after elapse of 48 hrs of my complaint neither I received any message nor any amount is credited to my account. I called airtel after the same I was annoyed as I found that I have not called customer care btn. 01/08/09 - 16/08/09 as told by customer care executives.
No good service by airtel, response from airtel executives, not willing to take request.

I therefore request you to kindly get me this refund of Rs.130 immediately and inform me about the action taken. Also please take some necessary actions against airtel.

Thanking you

I am recharging morethan 200 every time for balance, however, whenever I am recharging the amount of rs.100 to 150 getting diducting un-necessarily.

many times I am trying to give complaint but no use... the customer care guys not even responding properly,

AirTel — Unnecessary amount deduction

Dear, Sir.

Greetings of the Day!!

I am trying to contact Airtel customer care number from my mobile number but some how I am not able to talk to any of the representative. I have a query, my airtel balance was 114 rs. till 29th Feb 2010 night when I slept. When I woke up in the morning I see there is only 14 rs. left in my account. Now I want to know where you have deducted my amount. for what you have charged me 100 rs. s such I do not have any services on on my number. I want the clarification fro the same.

The same problem I faced few days back when I was using itnernet on my phone, though I had GPRS active on my number and it said that news aplication is free for airtel live users, I had been charged some what around 50 Rs. and after that only I recharged with 200 Rs. and I had balance of some 179 Rs.which i was using till now. Suddenly today morning 100 Rs. have been deducted from my balance why? and for what? Last call I made which was Gujarat number and it charged me some what around 0.80 and before that I dialed some Punjab Jalandhar number which charged me some what around 8 Rs. at the max. after that I have only received the calls. I am not on roaming also that I get charged for my incoming calls. So for what the HECK you people have charged me?

I have a prepaid connection of Airtel i.e. [protected]. Since 25th April 2012,nearly 70-100 rupees have been deducted from my mobile number without any service recommended by me. I am trying to contact customer care at 121, while been unable to talk with customer care executives. Today on 10.5.2012, Rs. 35 has been deducted for MHealth and Rs. 15 for Hello tune, again Rs. 15 for Chit Chat services; while i have not made any request.
Please lodge the complaint against the company and take necessary action.

Airtel Postpaid Connection — discontinued service due to company negligence

I have a post paid mobile connection from airtel [protected], I had asked for a change in address as i had shifted house. No one from airtel came to confirm the address to the Amritsar cantt where I stay and now they have disconnected my service when i am out of Amritsar and am facing extreme haressment.

AirTel — Postpaid Mobile Connection disconnected

I’d lost my handset having SIM of ph. No. [protected] on 29-Mar-09 and thus requested to block the lost SIM to Customer Care

Then I left India for around 3 months and returned on 25-Jun-09.

Now I needed a duplicate SIM of the [protected]. So I called Customer Care on 27-Jun-09 for the same. They told me that they have permanently disconnected the no. as it was not used for more than past 3 months (Though the period is less than 3 months). Anyways I asked for duplicate SIM, the executive told me to go to any Airtel outlet and give an application and I’ll be given the SIM which will get activated within 4 hrs. CC Executive – Pankaj | Call no –[protected] &[protected]

So on the same day 27-Jun-09, I went to Airtel outlet in Sector-18, Noida which from first instance was quite an un-human place where no ACs were working, Drinking water served was too hot to drink and overall the behavior of the executives over there was quite pathetic. Anyways when I asked them to provide me the duplicate SIM they asked for some documents which seemed irrelevant to me and wasn’t possible for me to provide at that time. As per them the info given to me by Pankaj was wrong. So I called another time the Customer Care (CC Executive – Preeti | Call no –[protected] and lodged complaint about the airtel outlet and also the wrong information given by Pankaj and the phone disconnected in the midway.

Getting negative response from the Airtel outlet, I once again called Customer Care (CC Executive – Monica | Call no –[protected] and had to explain everything once again and she was helpless due to your policies. And asked me to mail to [protected]@airtelindia.com.

Now, I’ve few questions for which I need answers:

> Why my ph number was disconnected before 3 months? In between a bill has been paid for it.

> If disconnected then why not proper intimation or confirmation was given to me either by phone or email?

> When asked for reactivation, why not proper information for required document was passed to me?

> Why not the Airtel outlet is made a human place to visit?

> Why not the executives over there and at phone are given proper training to how to behave with the Customer and pass correct information?

> Where is my mistake for which I’ve to manage my work without phone? And spend so much of time in calling and writing mails.

> Why do I need to resubmit documents which I’d already submitted?

> Seeing all the problems with Airtel service above, why should not I close my account with Airtel and get my Advance Rental back?

Neither there Nodal Office nor Appelate has any satisfactory solutions to the problem.

Airtel Mobile — Disconnection of Postpaid Service

I procured an Airtel Postpaid Connection from Chakala ARC on 04-Jul-2009. The service was activated on the same day.
The details of the connection are -
Owner - Nikhil Shrirang Limaye
Mobile number - [protected]
Relationship number[protected]
Deposit amount paid - 500
Bill Cycle date - 21-Jul-2009
First Bill received on 28-Jul-2009
Bill Payment Due date 08-Aug-2009
Bill amount - 117.06
Bill Paid online (http://airtel.co.in) on 22-Jul-2009
On 28-Jul-2009 the service was disconnected. I attempted contacting Airtel call center 5 times over 121 using my other Airtel postpaid numbers. Everytime I reported that I have a problem, the problem was heard and before any resolution can be obtained the call was disconnected.
I called up Airtel call center using my MTNL landline over [protected]. The call went through. I reported my problem and it was mentioned to me that the service was disconnected as the service was not used. In order to get this service activated I need to visit ARC.
How is it justified for disconnecting the service even though bill is paid well before due date?
How is it justified for disconnecting the service when it is not used?
Neither I nor any of my family member had instructed Airtel for disconnecting the service. Airtel did this disconnection on it's own without any intimation to me. Even while paying bill online there was no error or warning message mentioning that service was not used and will be disconnected. If that would have been the case I would not have even paid the bill.
Airtel is just out to make money and harass the customer without any reason. While accepting bill amount well in advance they have no hinderance. But, in order to activate the service they would not do it online or through call center. For that Airtel forces the customer to waste time and energy to travel to a ARC, wait in the QUEUE and then like an obligation will activate the service.
I am going to waste my time today (29-Jul-2009) evening visiting Chakala ARC (ARC from where I purchased this connection) to get this connection activated. Let me hope for the best.

Airtel Post Paid — Service Disconnected

Hello,

I converted my prepaid Airtel number[protected] from prepaid to postpaid on January 29 by going to the Mahadevapura Airtel Relationship Center in Bangalore.

At that time I paid a deposit for 300 Rs and was told address verification would be done in the next 24 hrs. I chose the Turbo 299 plan and completed all the forms as well as provid identity and address proof along with two photos.

My connection got converted to the new SIM on Jan 30. The Address verification took place on February 1. Same day I got call from customer service welcoming me to Airtel and also icreasing my credit limit to Rs 2000/. I also received a paper letter confirming my plan as well as address from Airtel. I also signed up online to manage my account.

Yesterday while I am in Hyderabad, I receive an SMS saying Airtel has not received my documentation and my outgoing will be barred in 48 hrs. Because of all the activities mentioned above had happened I assumed it would be a mistake. Today within 24 hours my phone does not have any service( Outgoing ang incoming). I am in Hyderabad and in no position to visit an ARC in Bangalore till Friday.

I call up the Karnataka customer support and they tell me that I have not submitted my Subscriber Enrollment form. Can you please tell me if I have not done it

1) How did you enroll me in my Turbo 299 plan?
2) How did you send a welcome letter?
3) How did you call and increase my credit limit?
4) How could I sign up online?
5) How did your personnel complete address verification?

Even though I asked all these questions to the agent he was pretty rude and said that he cannot do anything as it is the document department who barred my number.

The whole thing does not make any sense to me and looks like the whole support infrastructure is poorly run and mismanaged. The only explanation I have is the document department or whatever has lost documents and is penalizing me for their mistake.

I request you to atleast activate my number till this Friday( Feb 12 2010) so tha tI have phone connection while in Hyderabad. I will visit the ARC and do the needful when I am back in Bangalore on Friday.

Thanks,
Sujith

Airtel mobile connection — Disconnection of services

I requested airtel customer service located at shopprix mall, shop no. 225A and 225 B, sector 51,Noida to change the services of my mobile No. [protected] from postpaid to prepaid basis on 10 03.2010. I deposited all documents and got connectivity on 11.03.2010. All of sudden , phone was disconnected on 18.03.2010 through a message with the advice to contact the mobile shop.
Without the connection, my all activities were shattered. My family could not contact me in the morning from Australia as they call daily at 5.45 a.m. They were all under tension as I live here alone.
I am a senior citizen. I am not interested in any sort of compensation but service providers may please be asked to be helpful to the customers.
Thanks and Regards.

Airtel — Complaint against disconnection of postpaid mobile connection

Hi,

I wanted to bring to your notice a point of view of a utterly dissatisfied, disgruntled customer of yours who used to be a loyal customer for the past 10 years. I have been a loyal customer of Airtel for the past 10 years. You can check my credit history during the tenure and not a single bill has been defaulted. In fact, I have been paying my bills before the due dates. I have been loyal to Airtel which can gauged by the fact that all my family has a mobile connection from Airtel, I have a landline connection, broadband connection & DTH services from Airtel.

Problem story: I got a new mobile number from Airtel ([protected]) in the month of May 2011 under a corporate plan for HCL. I had planned to give this connection to my dad as he required it. The number had not been used due to some reasons. Today morning I called up customer care, since when I called the above mentioned number it was being mentioned as number does not exist. The response that I got was that the number has been disconnected since the month of July which came a big shock for me.

When I asked that why was I not informed about the disconnection beforehand, the response was really funny and ridiculous: “Sir, we informed you by SMS on the same number ([protected]) 3 days beforehand”. Now can someone put some commonsense in these guys to tell them that if a number is not being used for a certain time, then why are you sending notifications on the same number. Why do you guys take an alternative number and an email id along with the billing address? I was asked to visit an Airtel showroom to get the issue addressed. I asked for address near sector-18 Noida. I was given the address as “G-26 Savitri Market, sec-18 Noida”. When I reached the address, I was shocked to know that the airtel showroom has been shut down since the past 3 months. I was appalled that the customer care executives did not even care of the whole situation a customer of theirs is.

Important points from a dissatisfied customer:

1. The Airtel customer care has gone from being the best to bad to the worst now. Every time a customer calls for the same issue, he/she would get different responses. No one and I mean no one including the floor supervisors know how to talk in either Hindi/English. They keep the customer on dead air for endless times.
2. Airtel has stopped keeping its promises, I was told that I would be getting a call back from the backend team (I thought Airtel was one team) within maximum 2 hours, but I did not get it.
3. Airtel needs to re-check its SLA’s: How can you say that if a customer defaults the bill for a single day, we will charge extra amount and at the same time you take 72 hours to re-activate a connection which should not take more than 24 hours.
4. Airtel needs to make sure the processes laid down are followed to avoid customer dissatisfaction: Is there a process of getting in touch of the customer on an alternative contact number (which is taken while submitting the documents)? If yes, then it is currently not being followed.
5. Airtel needs to make sure its records (if not for the customer records, at least Airtel’s own records) should be updated. Airtel customer care does not itself know that their showroom has been shut down for the past 3-4 months.

Expectations: I have a very simple expectation from Airtel. Please let me know what do I need to do now regarding the mobile number ([protected])? If I do not get it re-activated, is there any expectation that Airtel has from me with regards to bill submissions,etc

Conclusion: At the end of all this conversations, where I spent almost half of my day fighting and debating with Airtel customer care trying to explain them that it is a mistake from their side and not mine (which their floor supervisors (Vijay Singh & Arun Kumar) agreed to), I had thought of putting a complaint against Airtel on the consumer forums court (which I eventually will). Also, in due course of time with the help of mobile number portability I would change my number from Airtel to any other Telecom company. I would also change my broad band connection and remove Airtel DTH services in due course of time.

In short, Airtel is going to loose a loyal customer very shortly.

No remorse has been shown by Airtel on losing a loyal customer. All i need is the Account number for the mobile number ([protected]) so that i can make a full and final payment and settle the dues

Hi,

It has been almost 40 days since my Airtel Digital TV Set-top box started mal-functioning. I must have made at least 15 complaints to the customer care but they gave aonly assurance and never bothered to get my problem rectified. Each time I called them, they used to give me one fresh date and when I told them that I have received the same assurance earlier, they would tell me that this time it will bes olved but till today they have not even bothered to contact me.

It is really shocking how shameless a company can be in this age of competition.
They will send you hundreds of SMS regarding the expiry of your account but will never bother to solve your problem.

I hope their nodal officers (rather sarkari babus) are seeing this complaint and take some action on this.

I also hope their CEO Mr Ajai Puri is also taking note of it and see how their sub-ordinates are running the company.

Hello

I have made my postpaid bill payment of Rs.620/- on 23.12.08 at NDR Lobby by cash. They gave me a voucher ( not receipt) with seal as an acknowledgment. But I found that my payment is not updated and I have even got a call from Airtel - Chennai to make my payment immdly. I have logged the complaint with Airtel ( ref.[protected] and told them to findout from NDR lobby why my payment not updated, but they inturn telling me go personally to NDR lobby to find out the problem.

AirTel — Bill not updated

Dear Sir,

My number was [protected] which was ported to BSNL 2 months back, but before portability I went to the franchise of airtel to settle my due and they requested me to deposit Rs.180/- and so i did on 1th may,2011 and got my No Due Certificate.

On 6th june,2011 i was again asked to deposit Rs.205/-.. I clarified that the amount has been paid and the receipt is with me. After that a number of calls were received from your customer care, delhi again asking for the payment, despite i have made it already and told them..
And i also contacted the franchie to inform you regarding the payment.

The franchie gave me the TX ID number[protected].
Again on 16th june,2011 call from Delhi by number[protected] came and they gave me fax number[protected] to fax the receipt and i faxed it.

They also wanted that i should speak to Mr. Amit (i don't knw him) and they also gave me one site- [protected]@in.aegisglobal.in.. I tried but this site in not available..

A person called from Delhi to hold my line to talk to Mr.Amit and after that he said he'll call after an hour. Next day again same happend..

Then I again contacted to franchise. he gave me the receipt number- [protected], dated 22nd june,2011..
But on 30th june in evening, despite knowing that on saturday And sunday offices are closed, they disconnected my number without informing.

I again contacted franchise and lodged complain with number- 267389..

So it is requested to kindly look into the matter and get my number activated as soon as possible.. If any action is not taken by coming monday, then i shall be moving to consumer court lodging complaint against you people..

Thanking You,
