Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I am using Airtel prepaid connection ([protected]) since last two years.In comparison with the current Friends plan; I had to pay much more for Calls, SMS, GPRS. I raised a request to change my plan into Friends plans internally, which was rejected from Airtel saying theat such conversion facilities were not available.

So I raised a Portability Request to switch to otheer network provider. In response to theat, I received a call from Airtel to offer me a plan withe reduced rates as below.
Call rates: 1 paise per 6 seconds to any mobile.
GPRS: 500MB free per monthe
SMS: 1000 sms free per monthe

I accepted that plan, I was told theat thee renewed plan would be activated withein 3 days.

I waited for more than weeks time, however the plan was not activated. So I called help desk, who raised a ticket CMBNR[protected] and said theat I would receive a confirmation on activation of thee plan on 28the March 2012. However I did not receive any confirmation call or sms.

Later I raised several tickets to know thee status of MNP for my number. I received thee responses from Airtel theat thee MNP facility is not applicable for my number.

I need the offered plan to be activated to my number from Airtel. If Airtel can not provide that plan, I need them to initiate thee MNP request so that I can go for some otheer service provider.

Hi,

I had bought a sony erricson xperia handset in December and asked airtel to enable 149 (2GB) plan on it. After sometime I had noticed that 3G was enable on my device. I had immediately called customer service and asked them to put me back 2GB. But customer care officer said that there is a 3 months free(500MB) 3G offer on my device, so asked me to continue with it. Even after that I had asked her to disable 3G service as I wasn't sure when it would get over. But customer care officer somehow convinced and said that I will be put back on to 2GB, 2G(149 Rs) plan after free plan over.

When I saw my this month mobile bill I was shocked to see that I had got bill of 5300+ Rs and out of which 4840+ Rs for 3G internet usage(450MB), which I had never asked them to enable it.

My earlier usage limit was just 1800 Rs, so ideally I would have got some intimation mail/sms after my usage limit. But now I can see that it has been increased to 6200 Rs without my consent. How can they decide on my limit and increase it without my consent? At the end I am going to pay the bill not airtel executives....

I had called airtel customer care on 7th April 2012 regarding this issue and customer care executive told me that some person from airtel will call me within 11th April 2012, 10 am and talk to me regarding the issue. Nobody had called till 11 o'clock today. So I had called myself to check the status. Customer care executive told me that someone will call me by end of day and discuss about the issue but I got sms saying that my complaint is closed immediately after I had ended call with customer care executive...

When I had again called customer care executive to check same, she had started giving all non-sense reasons and disconnected my call..

My Mobile No : [protected]
Complaint reference no: F[protected], 43005442

I have been using airtel since last 5+ years and I am feeling that these people have badly cheated me and their customer care executives had given wrong information about free offer and plan...

So I kindly request you to help in this regards....

Thanks,
Motilal Jadhav

I have Airtel DTH connection - Customer ID : [protected].
Location : Mumbai, PIN code - 400068.

I had been given offer from Airtel on 27th March somebody Miss.Shweta - [protected] had called up saying that if i will recharge to 2411 Rs/- then 1 year HD subscription will be given with HD set top box free.

On this request Mr. Sunil from Airtel come with old HD set top box of someone else's ID. I refuse to take this old set top box since it was without HDMI cable and remote control but he said they will provide new one after 2 days.

He took away my old SD set top box ( [protected]). Again Miss shweta called up and told not to re-charge the somebody else's old HD set top box which they have provided in replace of my SD box.

Since then no body turned up from AIrtel and the number which Miss shweta provided [protected] is coming switched off.

Mr. Sunil has provided me CPE recovery receipt with stamp of " Sai Enterprises" company and singed it by him and he told me that he is coming from kandivali.

Nobody turned up after that. I waited almost 1 week. After that i have opted 1999/- Rs upgradation offer through credit card via phone IVR system ( ref. no[protected].

After 4 days of this 1999/- payment, new Airtel engg ( [protected]) came with new box packed HD set top box but he refuse to upgrade and refuse to provide me the new HD set top box since my old SD set top box is not available.
I this this is really frustrating for me since at one time Airtel engg. took away my original SD set top box and on othe time new Airtel engg. asking for my old set top box.

I am completely frustrated with this. I have logged complaint many times on this but evry time iam getting false revert by SMS saying your complaint is resolved.

Complaint number 1:17592429
Complaint number 2:17665998
Complaint number 3:17714926

Issue is still not resolved. Kindly help.

On 27th March, I have requested for PORT option. After that, I received a call from Airtel office. They promised me, that they will change my present call rates plan.

On 29th March, I have received a following message from Airtel. """ Your rate plan has been changed. Enjoy special call rates local airtel calls at 10p/min, other local at 30p/min, STD at 50p/min."""

But, the plan has not been changed. After few days, when I contacted them, they said, before 9th April, the plan will be changed.

But, it didn't happen, When i called on 10th April, they asked me 24 hours time. But even now, the plan has not been changed.

My cust. id is [protected] and registered mob. no. is [protected].You can contact me on [protected] if any query. I dont want the flash messages that are displayed on tv about recharge,low balance.While watching the tv the messges are interrupting to watch tv programmes. I called the customer care person but they refused to note it.
The low balance related messages i received on my mob. is quite enough for me.please remove the tv flash messages.
THANKYOU.

1. I took a postpaid airtel sim and didn't use it mostly . after 1 week i checked unbilled amount and it was 646 i was shocked and thought to wait untill i get the bill and next day i got message that my mobile was having roaming services enabled which is actually enabled for all services so that if we get out of maharashtra roaming must be on. but here i never went out of pune but they charged me 646 for roaming services.

2. in same days 1 person came to my house and verified my address and even i recieved message that my address verification is done. but they cancelled outgoing services in my mobile for 10 days , even now my outgoing service is not enabled . I dont know what this guys are making mess with.

Airtel mobile service provider has issued my mobile number [protected] to some other customer named ASHOK residing in Narnaul (Haryana). As I am customer of this number since 15 years. The incoming of this is in my mobile,so the persons of Ashok call me. They all complaint me of ill treatment by Ashok. Please direct this company to disconnect the number issued to duplicate customer Ashok.
Thanks

I am one of the airtel consumers for the past seven years. I bought one airtel prepaid tamilnadu simcard, no. [protected] on 01.12.12. But whenever i contact this number, a recorded voice says, the simcard is "temporarily out of service" . I do not know the reason for the same, as there was no problem in respect of address proof, id proof etc. or the minimum balance in the account. Request for activation of the simcard, referred above, at the earliest.

thanks and regards

online reachaerge in 09/04/2012 Rs.10 but recherge is not done my order no.34979557 pls refund my amount

I got a call from Airtel saying that we are providing you a new offer and it will be activated in 48 hours.

I got this call on friday. Still no action has been taken.

Also they told me that they will credit my account to Rs.60.00 as the service which they are providing has daily rental of Re.1.
But for the first month, it is free and for the next 2 months they told to give me Rs.60 so that I can not go for Mobile number portability (MNP).

I was waiting for their response. But did not get it.

please let me know ASAP.

My mobile number is : [protected]

Dear Sir/Madam,

As per the mail I received for Airtel, have replied. Please I need to know if there are any forum which will listen to consumer grievances. The way Email is sent, is nothing but "Goondaism", rollcall for money, etc. Though I had clearly stated to disconnect the connection at the very moment my internet tariff plan was changed without my knowledge. The same was not carried-out & now the concerned persons have started blackmailing me. After me telling to disconnect the connection, still the bill for usage kept on coming. I really don't understand when I have not used the internet how come I am charged for the same. Please I need some stringent action to be taken against these peoples. Otherwise they will never stop exploiting consumers.

To whom it may concern
All these days were U people sleeping. How many days have passed me telling to disconnect the connection & collect your belongings? Do people ever know what kind of harassment I got from your people? Now U come with a threatening mail saying "will force us to initiate further course of action to recover the said dues." The same communication I will forward to the customer grievance cell (Complaint cell/court) & let me see what action the respected persons will take. I will definitely want u people to come to the court & face the proceedings. Please consider the above said words seriously as I mean it. Will sue you people for what all the problem I had met.

1.) Without my consent changing plan at your will for 799 @ 512 kpbs unlimited to 999 (approx) @ 512 kpbs with a cap of 10 GB & after that 256 Kpbs for the rest of month.
2.) After requesting for technical related problems none of your person came to my rescue.
3.) Twice or thrice I have to hear mouthful of words from your call centre persons.
4.) After confirming to disconnect the connection in the month of JAN or FEB 2012, still today none of them came & took the instruments provided for internet connection. Will charge U people for the safe keeping of your belongings.

From what do you people think that by threatening customers by your words & sending recovery agent people will get angry. With the mail copy U people have sent I will register an complaint in the police station & the necessary forum. Without fail I will sue U people for the harassment meted towards me by persons employed by Airtel.

I have purchased the airtel 3G data card and using it. After moving to my new resident located in Keelkatalai, Chennai, there was no proper internet speed even though it is 3G. When I contact airtel technical team, they have told there is no any tower for 3G in my locality and my data card will work on 2G connection. But I am paying for 3G plan. I contacted airtel bill payment team to have have my plan revised from 3G to 2G. They have forwarded the call to their supervisor but no one has attended the call. This happend twice and when I call AIRTEL COMPLAINT NUMBER 198 it is not directing to any executive to respond. What is the purpose of having complaint no 198? Either I don't need this connection any more or my plan must be changed to 2G so that I don't want to pay for 3G.

It has been more than 5 repetitive attempts to port out from airtel but got cancelled every time even confirmation from nodal desk. I am very disappointed with the network as well as the service. Every time the porting out request gets rejected with the reason being CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION. When spoken to customer care & nodal desk executive, I was informed that the numbers have been released but cannot show the same with any other network and are not letting us port . Please confirm the release of following numbers by email & let us know when can we put the port out request which does'nt get rejected. we have cleared all our dues & stopped all on going value added services.
