Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

My name is Bakul Patel. Airtel allocated my running prepaid mobile number to another person.
my running prepaid mobile number : [protected].
please solve my complain and active my mobile number.

My contact number : [protected]

Mr. Rakesh Ranga,

For your attention please,

Today i have registered a another complaint to the Airtel Customer Care. I called to gulf on 2 jan 2012 and spoke for 3min and 06 sec and for that 60 rupees have been deducted from my account. Al-thought i have added Gulf rate (rs 14) to my mobile number. They have deducted excess amount. Its not fair at all and Its happen for 2 nd time after my same complaint on Dec. 29 2011.

My concern have not been resolved yet.

Kindly refund the excess money deducted from my a/c.

I think Airtel takes special care to try much hard as they can to harass a customer until he Stops using Airtel.


I took a new Airtel 3D datacard Dongle connection on November 25th, It was activated on 27thPlan as told by representative was for Rs.675 i get 3.15 GB free and after usage of 3.15 GB free usage o[censored]pto Rs.2000 bill cap based on 2paise /100 kb


As per Airtel representative, the summary of the plan was that for a price of Rs.675 I get a usage of 13.25 GB for upto 7.1MBps speed
LBut my connection was limited to 20 KBPS after usage of about 9GB. When contacted to customer care, they told a different story about the plan. They said its 9GB max for that plan.

I just let it go and requested for plan change on 27th Dec. [Service Request number 41265103] Plan activated on 30-Dec-2011


New plan suggested by the customer care representative was 1099 plan
1099 plan upto 5GB free + free usage of till Rs.4000 Total 32GB.

LBut after activation I came to know from Airtel mail support that it was wrong plan info. And according to them, below is the correct plan.

Type: Standard Plan
Rental: Rs.1099/- (Prorate)
Free Data: 5 GB
Validity: 30 days
Bill Shield Value: upto 32.67 GB will be charged Rs.4000/-.

But just after 3 days, the 4th day morning my speed was reduced to 20 KBPS. Pathetic. When called to customer care, they said I've exceeded 32Gb in 3 days.

LIt was shocking to me because even the Airtel software on my lap shows usage of 1.83GB only.



Another funny thing is that since I took this connection they have never delivered a single bill to my registered address. When contacted, they said its delivered and someone signed on it. But I didn't get it yet.

And now in the 2nd month of this Airtel postpaid connection, my pending amount is Rs.3500!!!!!

1st month plan: 675 - 3.15Gb free, plus Rs.2000 free.
2nd month plan: 1099 - 5GB free 4000 bill cap.

But the unpaid bill now: Rs. 3500+

LFor the 2nd month i have only used 1.83GB yet in the 4th day of plan activation. But they're accusing me o[censored]sing 32GB and charged me like HELL!!
L

Complaints;

Bill not received
Wrong info about plans by different Airtel representatives
Incorrect usage info. Alleging me o[censored]sing 32Gb in 3 days.
Pending bill of 3500 for 2 months not justified.
Call put on hold for more than 1hr.
No updates on multiple service requests raised since Dec-7th.
Below are the latest service requests raised. old ones I don't have info but none of them have been resolved or contacted me.

from 05-Dec-2011 to 30-Dec-2011 Plan was Rs.675

And from 30-Dec-2011 to Till now 4 days Plan was 1099. For which I have only used 1.93GB

But when I contacted they said that my unpaid bill amount is 3500!!! WTH?? For only 4 Days??? I need an explanation.

Sir / Madam,

I like to bring it to your notice that the bill generated for the period Nov 26th , 2011 - Dec 25,2011 was generated against the plan 4Mbps / 999 . But the speeds I have received are not more than 2.3 Mbps . I was receiving the same speeds in the previous plan before migrating i.e 2 Mbps/ 699.

Also while placing a request for migration I was told by the customer care executive that the plan will be activated from Dec 26th 2011 as the request raised was not 5 days prior to the billing cycle . But to my surprise when I speak to the customer care executive offlate they claim the plan migrated on 27th Nov 2011 which in my case is not true . I have captured the results during the stated period from speedtest.net and I can share it across to the concerned if needed.Also There was no communication from Airtel Team regarding the completion of migration as promised at the time of request. Such actions lead to mistrust on the part of airtel with the customers in this competitive world.

Please Clarify the query on the bill generated. Thanks in Anticipation.

Dear Sir this is my second complain in the consumer complaint as for past 1month I'm facing this problem of call drop. My service provider Airtel is unable to provide any solace to the above problem as I've also written several mails to them.
This is becoming an nightmare for me as I'm entering 2012 without any solution to my problem.
It seems as if they are not bothered to look into the matter as it is out of their hands.
I request u to take up the matter on the highest level of Air tel.

Regards,
Suhail Khan

I went to New Delhi on 23/11/2011 and I was there till 10/11/2011. When i recharged for talktime on 28/11/2011 but Airtel put that (Rs.102) money in the phone's GPRS account although my phone settings are not set for that & I've never used GPRS from my phone. When I came back to Bhopal Airtel still went on deducting roaming charges on outgoing calls and continues to do the same till date. I'm sick & tired of their services but still if Airtel receives this complaint then please correct it as soon as possible. My ph. no. is [protected]

Hi
I am having an Airtel DTH.Lat tuseday 22 nd I called up the customer care complaining that my set top box is not working .I am getting an error code of "SM2".The customer care people reset the settop box from their end but it didn't work.They tried 3 times but failed.So I was told that an engineer is going to visit my house and set the alignment of antena for DTH and the issue will be addressed within 5 days.

I have never seen such a sloppy work before.Airtel Customer care people speak pathetic english.Half of their sentences made no sence.Till Saturday nobody called up.Then an engineer called up and asked my area pin code.He was arguing that the area pin code is wrong, though i told him several time that in my driving license whatever pin code is there updated to my latest address, i have given the same.

Again I called up his office and they gave me another number which is not working.Since then I called up the customer care 10 times, they are unable to resolve the issue.They again assingned it to some other engineer.The story was same.

It was so pathetic I was going round and round the customercare, engineer and again customer care.

Still the issue is not resolved.I will recommend people not to take Airtel DTH .
Today Saturday was the rosolution date for the issue till 3:30 pm , but Airtel people was least bothered to solve it.They had grown up a "don'tcare " attitude towards their customer.

One more thing worth noting that the customer care people dont log a complain in their system ,just to avoid and confuse the customer as well that no one can track the same complaint.

Hope Airtel People fix the issue soon after seeing the complaint.

I have been using Airtel prepaid mobile service for the past 2 months.
I have top'd-up several times with the provider, only to find that the offer is a total scam and rip-off.
I get a text message saying I would get full talk time and the base plan would not change.
I have a Rate-cutter to keep the costs down where the Texts are free and the calls are supposed to be charged less.
I do not seem to get any of the mentioned service. Lately I've been getting charged for the Texts at 1 rupee each.
I'm getting all the more frustrated with the service provider as I don't EVER seem to get connected to the customer services.
For the record I have literally lost Hours trying to speak with a Customer services personal.
service, Rip-off, Total scam and very very substandard service provider.
With this rate I shall be changing Providers or take up a new Connection.
I blame myself for choosing them at the first place.
Good luck to the ones who are stuck with this Crappy Mobile service provider.

My subscriber id is [protected].I recharged my Airtel Digital TV accout with icici netbanking option on 31st Dec 2011.The amount was 550.On completion of transaction I was redirected to an error page where it showed that transaction unsuccessful due to technical reason.Then I made one more transaction of 550 with my SBI netbanking option.I got the same error messege again.Then after few minutes I opened my account and both the transaction amount is reflecting there where as during transaction it showed that transaction is unsuccessful.

Now I want to cancel the second transaction and get the money back in my account as I did this just because of the error message.With the same request I called customer care and they are not ready to cancel the secod transaction and give money back!!

This is because of their technical issue I tried recharging second time where as my requirement was only one time transaction.Please look into the issue so that I get money back for second transaction.
