Dear sir,
Actually i was using some other network provider that is Idea.......but their signal strength was weak....but other people near to our locality were using airtel bcoz there was good signal strenth there....so i switched to airtel network and found good signal strength and quality.....but from three to four months the signal has decreased and sometimes there is no network......there must be something problem with the airtel tower nearby..

Actually my native place is SORNAD, which is located in an area called BANTWAL.(B.C ROAD).
So sir please do something..to gain back the signal strength...bcoz if not including me other 30 to 45 members will changing their network to some other network.......

The worst Telecomunication company for customer satisfaction is None other than AIRTEL. we buy leased line for internet connection in airtel they provide the 6 static ip they are 182.72.227.26 to 30 that is not working in our side we lock complain in airtel for 3 months since they didn't take any action for this.. we ask an engineer to send them on our side & solve that problem they did not response for that finally we get tension & say as i[censored] doing this way we cut the leased line connection, insted of this they say "OK you Cut the connection" This is the way of handling the costomer?
still our problem is not solved. whenever we call they keep hold the call its wasting our time.

BEWARE of this online fraud from Airtel. Let me share my bad experience with you all. My intensions are to educate people and reduce this mal-practice and let people save their hard earned money.

I had an Airtel connection and I opted for 2 more multiroom connection. I came to now that all I need to do is send a sms to 54325 and they will get back to me. This is the start of the scam or fraud. Next I got a call from claiming that they are calling from Airtel customer care and how can they help me. I didnt read the hidden words " how can you we loot you" unfortunately.

Anyways, my bad I opted for online money transfer and I did transferred the money on link that they provided. It looked a genuine airtel weblink for online money transaction.

Next day I got sms that money is trasferred into my acount. But wait a min. how come it took 24 hrs to transfer this money and more improtantly where is my rest of the money??? It was good 980/- short.

Till date I have no idea where is my remaining money and Airtel CC exec are conveniently sayng that somebody stole my money :( What fails me to understand that why did the theif transfered partial money!!!!!!

Airtel customer care number is all useless and waste of our precious time. I am not motivated to write more but my intensions are crystal clear. Educate people and make people aware: DO NOT OPT FOR AIRTEL. This company has lost its shine and there are literal educated theives in this company!!!!! If anyone needs more details feel free to send me email on uttam.[protected]@gmail.com.

Again I am saying..NEVER OPT FOR THIS COMPANY AND STAY AWAY FROM THESE WHITE COLOR THEIVES!!!!!!

BTW there are no signs of installation even though money worth one connection is present in my account. I am now moving to Tata or Dish TV. EVEN Hathway or beam-tele looks heaven today :(

sir, my airtel no is [protected]. I have an nokia 500. i am unable to connect in 3G mode, in 2G mode it connect, but in 3g mode it didi not connect. ihave already complain in airtel customer care but they did not help me. i have also checked other carrier like reliance, bsnl, aircel, all these easily connect in 3G mode , but only airtel 3G did not connect. so, please help me.

DM 016073 is the number from which am getting sms to [protected].. this is my number.. please block this n umber as soon as possible and send me conformation msg or mail to my id....

Bill period 02-Dec-2011 to 01-Jan-2012

Hi,
I am Prashant i have issue with Airtel 98/- 2GB GPRS Billing.

Nov 28 2012 I have changed monthly tariff plan to 599/- from 249/- plan.
Before switching to new plan I was using 98/- 2 GB GPRS plan More than a year.
I clearly told Airtel executive that change only monthly rental plan donot change my 2 gb gprs plan,my monthly usage is more than 1GB and less than 2GB. She agreed to that. i got Bill on December 5 2012 my bill generation date every month 2nd (as it activated on 28 Nov 2012) it was normal bill.

Next bill i received on 5Jan2012 my total bill amount was SHOCKING!!!!!!
Its 9,998.47/- Rs!!!! my GPRS data usage is 1870MB Airetl is billed 9301/- for 870 mb of data usage!!
when i clearly told to executive don't change 2GB pack, When my data usage is more than 1GB, if that was the case i would not have taken this plan at all.
Long back GPRS issue happened i got weaver for that.

I called up customer care and mailed to [protected]@airtel.in [protected]@airtel.in and nodal officer.
stating that they have checked and established that the charges levied against GPRS usage are correct and valid..
if that was the case why i didn't get any intimation message when i reached 70% of my data usage (One of the Airtel executive told me that we will get intimation message) i spoke with Airtel supervisor he said that kind of Intimation system is not available with us!!

on 20 Jan 2012 my number [protected] (I was using this number more than 4 and half years) was deleted from the database, now it is no more exists!!my due date is on 21 Jan 2012 that to without intimating me where still billing issue is pending!!! My number is connected to so many services how come they delete my number from the database without my knowledge,they could do it after resolving my billing issue, isn't it?
Kindly help me
My new contact number is[protected]

Respected Sir,

My wife GUNJAN PARMAR was using Airtel postpaid connection [protected] from more then 4 years when she was in pune.In October 2011 she left pune for marriage. Her credit limit for this airtel postpaid connection was Rs 1700, after leaving pune she requested Airtel to disconnect her connection. But Airtel didn’t disconnected her connection, instead they increased her credit limit without her consent and provided us a bill with charges for which she have not used the connection. Airtel has handed us the bill of more than Rs 8000. Since last 1 month Airtel customer care is calling us, our family , relatives and our friends from their data base and mentally harassing them, and abusing them.When i ask why they have increased the credit limit without consent, and we are ready to pay our credit limit then they abuse us n our family and threaten us for legal action.We r getting threatening calls from these following numbers [protected], [protected], [protected], [protected]. few days back Airtel recovery agent called my Father and start abusing him. He got shocked with their abusive language , he is a patient of hypertension, and he fell ill on that day. Our family is in state of depression due to these harassment.This type of harassment is totally against law.

I am requesting you to take appropriate action against Airtel for mental torture given to our family n relatives and false bill produced by them. This is my only grievance and I don’t have any issues in paying the credit limit bill used by us.

Thanking You

Hi Sir,

Using the airtel website, I have given my details for the new digital HD connection and I got a call from Laxmi from sales team from this number [protected] and she gave all the required details to me and when I enquired about the internal/concealed wired installation and she confirmed that internal wiring will be done and she said it part of installation. Based on this confirmation I have booked the connection on 11th Feb. 2012 and made payment thru IVRS system using credit card. And she said installation will be done in 24 to 48 hours.

Yesterday 16th Feb. 2012, I got a call from service engineer for the installation and he visited my place and refused to do the internal wiring and he said he will make a hole to window or wall using a drill machine.

What I feel is that the sales teams are cheaters and bluffers, to increase the sales or to reach their targets; they are making fools to customers by making false commitment. Even I told to laxmi there is a RS. 250/- cash back offer on the airtel website and she insisted that the website is not updated and offer is no longer valid and said even if I go for an online booking there is no guarantee about the number of days for the installation. I was forced to make the payment for RS 2690.00/-. (Loss of Rs. 50 compared to online booking).

It’s been almost 6 days gone, but no response from your team regarding the same.

Hence I request you to look into this and try to solve this ASAP.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Pavan C.

My no is [protected]. AIRTEL has unnecessarily activated a service (55155) for sending LOVE TIPS which i never asked for and whenever i sent msg to stop the service, i get msg that it has been already activated on your number. its even more frustrating to contact their customer executive, they will route you through hundred service options but will never connect to any executive and in the end charge you for this stupid call you made to stop the service. I really wonder why they resort into this cheap tactics to earn money, they are such a big name should maintain its dignity.
kindly look into the matter, save me from this horror!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I am being harassed by Airtel customer care in Bangalore.

complaint numbers:
F[protected]; 42121898; F[protected]; F[protected]; 42023111 F[protected]

I recently got a new airtel mobile corporate connection (number[protected]. The SIM card was given to me in my office premises. The phone started working in a couple of days too. After a few days a person from airtel came to my office to verify the address. I met him, signed the document he asked me to sign and my office address was verified there.
After a little while another person calls me to verify my residence address. Though I guide him to the right address he has probably gone to a wrong address / or may be he has not gone to any address at all. But he has falsely updated his company that I dont live in that address. Following this the company has barred my out going calls.

when i called up customer care they and explained myself they released my calls and said they will send more people to re-verify both my addresses. No body ever came to either of my addresses. I dint even receive any call from them. And my outgoing calls were barred again.

When I called them up again They said I need to visit their customer care center. Even they dint help me out. I again called up the customer care online they said they will send another person to verify the office address once more. That person was supposed to come on 15th feb at 6PM. No body ever came or called. When I call up 198 again they say they will send one person to my home address too. But no one comes there. I have been trying to follow up. Every time I call up these customer care executives, they all give me different excuses. They say that as per TRAI regulations we need to verify both addresses. And that I need to be available at the address myself. Even when I am there available myself they never show up.

There is not one person with enough authority who I can talk to. The address verification team is not reachable. No one in the airtel centers and the customer care have the address verification team's phone number. As though they are a very secretive team.
The executives who talk to me don't even have a solution to my problem. Some of them say that my number will be permanently disconnected and i'll have to get a new number.
This is not an ethical way of working.

Earlier I was using another airtel number for 7 and a half years (+[protected]. And then went out of the country for almost a year so I put this number into safe custody. When I returned the number had been permanently disconnected. And the airtel people asked me to pay Rs. 7500/- to reactivate this number giving me a reason that its a vanity number. I dint not agree to pay this amount and they never gave me this number and they made me run around for this too.

Regards,
Ram.

Hi,

I was using a no [protected] due to some financial reason I couldnt make the payment and one more thing my credit limit was rs. 3000/- but they shows the outstanding payment of Rs.4215/-, I dont know why it happened. I was in touch with one of airtel collection guy and I promise him to make the payment just give me some time as some bad financial reasons. But the make some threatening calls to my relatives, frd and neighbours search from my bill and harassed them. Asking them if I am doing some wrong business or present my wrong images and abusing me. My relatives are bothered and harassed from this. They are making about 5-6 calls daily to these no's. And when I make the compaint against that they using ton like teri ma ko phone karu tere baap ko call karu, tu kya karega n all and started using filthy words. It unembarrassed me. I was simply asking for sometime only. The contact no which they are calling is- [protected] & [protected] one of them name is shekhar and karan mathur. I think that is also fake names. I call to customer care but they are fell to provide me details as this dept also belongs to them only.
I urge you to pls stop these non-sense, I am about to make payment but pls take the nessary action against this gays. It shows bad images of such corp. like airtel a brand.

Lalit

Airtel Digital TV Recharge fraud.

My mother recharged Digital TV-[protected] with Rs 1050 in Dec, 2011. The account has not been credited till date ( feb 16). It is a Connection in Meerut and Airtel Main office in Sadar Sabji mandi has been extremely non cooperative and rude .It has been visited thrice in past 3 months and every time they lie about the rectification. Each month we are getting an extra recharge facing the same problem. Airtel is a reliable brand but its customer service is below satisfactory. When we contacted the shop from where we purchased the connection, instead of helping out owner said " Cut the connection if its giving so much trouble". We lodged a complaint on customer care but all in vain.

Dear Sir/ madam,

This is to bring to your notice that my wife is frequently getting calls (mainly in night time) from unknown no. The person calls up and uses foul language.

Recently he is calling from the number - [protected].

Request your early action on this.

Thank You,

Dear Sir,
i am Amol Raut. Customer of Airtel. my number is [protected]. since few months i am getting many problems with airtel. the network is poor in our area. GPRS & internet speed is very slow and call rates are not affordable for me.
thats why i applied for Portability request from Airtel on 27 January 2012. after that i got my unique porting ID that is (AZ287845). then i decided to select Vodafone on 2 February 2012. my request was accepted by Vodafone as i got confirmation sms from them on .
But after then Airtel customer care call me and ask that why i am leaving Airtel. i told them the problems & about call rates. they offer me an scheme if i not leave airtel. they said that i will get 10 paise per minute call carge on airtel to airtel. and 30 paise per minute to other network. this scheme will have to activate within 72 working hours. So that i cancelled the request of porting. but within a given time the scheme is not activated. i wait 2-3 days more but there is no change in my tarrife plan. so i called customer care. they take my complaint many times, but it never solved. after some days customer care persons not getting my complaint seriously. they disconnect my call many times without listening my problem. then i got the airtel nodel officer customer care number [protected]. i call on this number for the conversation on this call i have charged about 27 Rs. they also take my complaint (complaint no.406852) again. the person assured me that my problem will solved within 24 hours. but after then there is no reply from airtel. again i call 198 number and told the problem. but they said that this type of scheme can not be activated on my number. the customer care person rudely said that if i wish to leave airtel then i can send port out request again.
This shows how they treat their customers and how they can cheat them easily. So, today (15 February 2012) i again send request to port out from Airtel. The New Unique Porting ID is AZ384689. Once again the "Cheater" Customer Care call me and offer me the same scheme they refuse to activate many times. Sir i want to take disciplinary action against the company for cheating, furstating and wasting my Time and Money. I kindely request you to please look seriously into this issue and take proper action.
Thanking You.

Amol Dnyaneshwer Raut
