Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi,
I had asked Airtel customer care to cancel my broadband line in the month of August as there was some technical issues and I couldn't use the connection that whole month. They said they will cancel it in 2 days but then another person from customer care calls me up and asks me to continue the connection and also said they will wave off that months bill. The caller was so persistent that I finally agreed but asked them to transfer the connection to my new location. The person said he will verify if the connection could be made to the new location but then he called again to inform that it is not feasible. I again asked him to cancel the line and they said they will do it in 2 days. Again another person from customer care calls up and asks me to continue the line for 3 months with the bill waved off. Finally after 3 months I am asked to pay an amount of Rs.3000. Today I got a call saying they are calling from the legal department and I need not pay 3000 but 2000 is enough. They kept on speaking as I said I didn't use the line and finally like a person who bargains in shop they reduced the amount from 2000 to 1500 and then to 1300. The person kept on saying that I will be given a no due certificate and I wont be getting any calls again. Finally I got irritated and said that I might even cancel my mobile number which is also Airtel. The person then replies that they themselves will disconnect my outgoing and incoming if I didn't pay the amount by noon. I said thanks and disconnected the call. Again I get a call from another number saying this is legal department. I replied saying I already got a call and disconnected the call. The person again calls up and starts scolding me saying absurd things. I disconnected the call again and blocked that number for now. These were the two number from which I got the call [protected] and [protected]. I don't know how Airtel people could go so low as to scold customers into paying unused bills. My airtel landline number is[protected] for which I am not able to call customer care and make a complaint since it says incorrect number.

Please Beware of AIRTEL DTH Advertisement which they flash on Airtel SETPOP BOX

I am Airtel DTH user since long. My Customer ID: [protected] I got cheated by the company as they promise to renew the subscription by paying 6 month advance rent and I will get one month free But Once I have paid said amount Company started screaming that I should call there toll free number and inform them before paying Airtel is purely Dubious company run by the real time Jokers.

If any one ask them to give answer on mail they never turn up just vanish.

Instead of standing by there own commitment they know how to fool customer saying it is customer mistake.

Once you pay your money they are list bother about you.

If there is any award to be form " How to cheat individual customer with sweet Tongue" I am 100% confident AIRTEL DTH will the winner.
Because they can only talk sweet over phone and don't bother to give any thing in writing.

Even in my case I have written several mails with mail evidence of the offer given to me but in vain.

I make appeal to people at large BEWARE of False commitment and there Advertisements.

Dear Sir/Madam,

With reference to the above telephone landline we had sent mails to Airtel since 12th July, 2011 for change in plan or if not disconnection of the present conncection. But we did not get any response. We have continously mailed them since
then and also called the customer care office but unfortunately we have not received any response. We had clearly informed Airtel that we are in the process of down sizing and will not require the present service whose charges were
on high side and we had minimum usage.

Infact to save overheads we have shifted from the earlier premises to the below mentioned premise. We had clearly indicated to Airtel that if they will not give us a solution they better stop the service as it would be better for us to continue with other service providers. But till date we have not got any response. Whenever we have been sending mails we are just getting response that someone will contact us and solve the problem.

Even though we have asked them to disconnect the landline they have kept the service working which we feel that Airtel is doing on purpose.

We request if someone could please look into the matter as Airtel is a big company and they will try to force things on us.
If required we will forward you the mails sent. We are now no longer interested in continuing with Airtel and want to solve the matter once and for all but provided somebody contacts us.

Hi
sir/madam

Airtel is such a big telecommuncation brand in india & has a maximum number of subscriber all over india,but thet are not taking an action over the one rupee extra on the charge of coupon.Customer is already paying so much of the tax on the coupon & beside that one rupee extra is being taken from the customer without any reason.This is going on openly in most part of the city --hyderabad.I have informed this many times to the nodal officer but no action is being taken from their side to stop this.please take an action against them

Respected Sir/Madam:

I, Ranjit Chandrasekharan, was using Airtel Broadband Connection (Landline No:[protected] for quite some time now. A few months back, I requested for cancellation and after a lot of effort I got the customer care executive to take down my request and process the cancellation request. Whereupon I cleared all the dues and was awaiting for the executive to come and collect the equipment from home. However, nobody came and I till now haven't got a confirmation letter from Airtel. Instead, I got an sms in my register mobile no: [protected] stating that I need to pay Rs. 178.00 towards bill for last month. I would like to lodge a formal complaint towards lack of confirmation for Airtel regarding my cancellation and I am afraid I will have to suffer the same fate as one of my friends who got a shocking legal notice threat after six or seven months of requesting for cancellation. I don't want to end up in the same pit as him and for the same reason, I would request you to guide me in getting my confirmation.

Thanks,
Ranjit

Respected Sir,

I, Ranjit Chandrasekharan, was using Airtel Broadband connection for a long time. Recently a few months, I send in a request to get it disconnected and it was promptly acknowledged whereupon I paid the outstanding amount too. After a month, I get a message in my mobile no: [protected] stating I have to pay Rs. 178. Till now, I have not got any confirmation regarding cancellation and even after repeated requests for the executive to come and collect the equipment, it has fallen upon deaf ears. I would like to make a formal complaint regarding the same and would like to request Airtel Broadband authorities to do the needful by confirming my cancellation. I have had a friend who had to settle the dues because he made the mistake of not getting the confirmation for his cancellation even though he had requested the cancellation almost five to six months back.

My Airtel Landline no: for the above-mentioned broadband connection is[protected].

Here are my contact details:

Hi All,

I have purchased new Airtel Postpaid connection [protected] on 27th Oct, Till date connection is not activated. Every time when i am making confirmation from shop owner, I am getting the only response that, verification executive will come first then only this number will activate. Till date no one has came.

After 15 days i came to know that my verification is negative, but no one has came to my house for verification. I am confident about that because i am staying with my parents and they never go outside. And this is my owned house. I have submitted electricity bil;l & driving license as my proof.

Please check details of connection mentioned below:

Dear Sir,
Re: Airtel cell phone number:[protected] in the name of Goldina Ghosh.

I took one airtel connection and got the Sim having the number[protected] nearly a month back from your Deoghar (Jasidih) outlet. I submitted all the requisite documents and there was no problem with the service. After 3 weeks Airtel withdrew its service without intimating us anything and the sim blocked without showing any reason.
It becomes very much difficult for me to make communication within the campus (for our research / project work) of this institution- Birla Institute of Technology, Deoghar, Jasidih.
I shall be highly obliged if you kindly see the matter and lift the blockage from the sim so that connection is resumed early.
In this connection I am to tell you the following facts that I have a Calcutta based airtel connection since 2005 – the number is[protected].
As I have to remain at Birla Inst. Of Technology, Deoghar, Jasidih. Jharkhand for the next 2 years for my PhD work and local communication is very much needed for the purpose so I took the local Airtel connection having the number:[protected] to minimize the expense of Roaming on my Calcutta Airtel number[protected]. As I am already your previous customer there should not be any problem of getting my identity.

Permanent Address181 / 33 G.T Road. BIT Campus, Deoghar, Jasidih. Jharkhand

Hope you will realize the matter and help for resumption of service of the number[protected]
At an early date
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully]

Dear Sir/Maa'm,

This is to inform you that the calls were debarred to/from my AIRTEL prepaid no. suddenly without prior intimation. On calling up 121, I found out that they required documents to be submitted for verification. However let me inform you that last year an airtel employee had come to my residence and had collected the photo copies of the documents for verification. So it is a management error on the part of AIRTEL because it seems those documents were either not submitted or were misplaced by them.

Also this happened at a time when I needed my cell the most. I was in the middle of a family crisis, as my dad was admitted to the ICCU. I could not manage to get my documents as I was away from home. So thanks to AIRTEL I was disconnected for 2 whole weeks during this phase.

To top it all, the airtel employee I spoke with to ask if anything could be done to help me through this crisis, he banged the phone down saying "do whatever you want to, we can do nothing to help you."

I am Using AIRTEL for 6 months..I have put booster for SMS and still they charged me..!! I complained regarding this.they said they will Reimburse but they did not do anything. !! other than making my message free..! I did not mind about 30 rupees....!! because of work load

and next I use top up(rate cutter) 10 paise to airtel to airtel and 50 paise to airtel to other services

and they cost me 60 paise instead of 50 paise...they are doing this without any intimation ...to customers as well us to the shops(recharge shops)

I am not fighting for my 10 paise...they are stealing like this to everyone and People for busy to be bothered about this .,,,.

this is total daylight robbery...
Please do something regarding this....
I hope I get some answers soon..!!!

Dear Sir,
As even though all the needed information is submitted to the office. again again they were asking for some other details for the continuation of the number. then of sudden deactivated my mobile sim numbered [protected]
So, Please let my number be activated as soon as possible bcoz i have given this number for my bank transaction and Pancard as wel
Thanking you

Respected sir/ Madam,

Please provide me the call details of the last 3 months and the address of the above given 2 telephone numbers - in case you need any FIR no i have it with me - i have lodged the FIR for the same at Mukundwadi Police Station. Kindly do the needful....

I would like to lodge a complaint against the company Airtel for Harassment and repeated bill generation after being asked to sever the connection ( Land line : [protected] / Broadband) . The Situation as is:

I had asked the airtel customer care people to get my connection shifted to my new address around July 15th. After 2 weeks of not getting any response from them , i called back and was told that the connection cannot be shifted as the new area did not have distribution lines. I asked the customer care representative at that time to please cut the connection and refund the RS 1500/- Deposit taken in the beginning. After that i kept getting calls for bills being pending. I have called the customer care repeatedly and asked them to please cut the connection. Today is the 22nd of november and they still have not done the needful. Instead they are generating bill after bill when their equipment is lying dismantled at my house.

I have contacted and complained the concerned guys infinite times. Each time I get to hear that it will be done today but unfortunately its not done as yet. I do not understand why my connection has not been cut as yet. I am sure that my paltry Rs 1500/- a month cannot be so important that they are trying these tactics. It is not as if they will bankrupt if they cancel my connection

I would really like this to be resolved as quickly as possible. In case this does not work. Please suggest the next of action.

Regards
Ritu Sharma
