Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi
Once again my outgoing calls have been blocked without intimation. My no. is[protected]. I had submitted all my verification documents on Nov 5 2011 at around 12PM in their Chembur Naka gallery. The airtel staff had checked my original documents and verification form personally and said that there will be no problem now.
The mobile services were started after that.
Today is Dec 9 2011, and my outgoing calls were blocked again today without intimation. The reason i got to hear was partial verification. They have again asked me to submit the documents in next 48 hours.
I am fed up of this. When airtel staff has verified my original documents themselves how is my verification status showing partial??
I am not sure how to overcome this repeating problem?????
I have this mobile number since last 10 years...

Can airtel help me come out of this problem? or should i should change the service provider now..

regards
Very unhappy customer of airtel.

I purchased the Turbo 75 plan from Airtel 2 days back. I was aware of the fact that airtel was throttling internet traffic of any kind of P2P services from various websites and forums. And when asked about this from airtel sales executive who came to my home for applying, told the same that this is absurd and not possible.

To my shock I was getting 5kbps of download speeds on my so called 4Mbps plan on using online games, torrents and FTP clients. When lodging a complaint on customer care they simply mentioned that we do not support torrents at all and please check your speed on speedtest.net. So basically they don't support any kind P2P at all and throttle everything that comes under it by almost 99%, as it is in my case.

Airtel should mention up front that we do not support downloading at all. It's not mentioned anywhere in their newspaper adverts, brochures and not even by their sale executives. A complete scam in my opinion and I wonder why would anyone buy broadband from airtel at all after seeing these many complaints everywhere on the internet and here on consumer complaints.

In my opinion DON'T BUY AIRTEL BROADBAND ON ANY CONDITION. And first thing that I wondered was, after spending 1699 for a 4Mbps with a 75GB download cap plan in which I get 5kbps speeds, how am I ever gonna use those 75GB monthly.

I've attached a picture along with it that shows how airtel throttled my speeds just after 30 minutes o[censored]sage on the fresh installation by the engineer. From 450kbps to 5 kbps, great going airtel!

I had applied for new postpaid connection of Airtel after being informed by the plan Rs.250 rental by Airtel executive Mr. Ganesh from Hybrid financial services, Andheri East, Mumbai.
Next day another person collected deposit of Rs. 300 from me and handed over as SIM card. After that there was no response from airtel. When I called back on the no. which was mentioned on payment receipt, i was informed that the plan informed to me was wrong one and the same can not be activated. After that i asked for return of my deposit amount but till date no response has come from airtel. Calling the concerned person is waiting my time and money also.
This is very unethical activity which deserves the serious action.

I want deposit amount of Rs.300 and all charges of the all the calls which I made to the Airtel offices.

Hi Shekar,

As per discussion, Please do not close this complaint as its frequent problem
Also let me know the self care account details so that I can check the usage details

As this is a long pending issue I need the entire higher official to be involved to resolve it

Also per my discussion with one of the exe and email sent out (can be found in mail Trail) check out the billing part as my Ticket is out of SLA

Ajay

Mr. Shekhar/ Saleem,

Are you guys observing my internet speed as discussed over the phone ?

And why the bill has come 590.94 when you are unable to resolve the issue on time ?

My ticket is already crossed SLA.

Dear Sir,

I am working in Dubai and i have been using my mobile[protected] for last few years and have been charging at each interval to keep in active. on 2nd of december i checked my mobiel and it was working and used ezetop to charge my mobile. from 4th till 7 th i used the card extensively upto Rs. 1500/ was charged and used around rs 1000. i also spoke to customer care on 121 and 198 number of times and also they disconnected me calling to the cusotmer care and no one told me about any documents required.

on 7th i had rs. 500 around in the card and around 1100 am, while i was try making call it said that my card is barred for outgoing calls. I called using someone toher line and was informed that i had to submit my doucments and went to Airtel Udupi office to give the doucments. they were not ready to help me anyway and said that i have not used my card for 180 days hence the card has been deactivated. One of the x-staff helped me alittle and manager only listened to me as if nothing had happened and showed his inabliity to do anything as thestaff. i HAD MY passport and all required docments.

In the evening i send my passport copy by email and after 2 hours i recieved a confirmation that my card is active and the card was active. the email said my documents have been recieved and my card has been renewed.....

on 8th morning, the card was not working for both incoming and outgoing calls. I called the cusotmer care from 3 numbers and all teh number were barred to call 198 and 121.

I called [protected] and ohter numbers and spent more than 100 Rs to speak to them. i spoke to Mr. Anil and Mr.Ramesh and they said my card has been recyled becuaes it was not used for 180 days in last.

I have used the card and i have recharge from ezetop ...

kinldy request you to look into the matter urgently.

you can email me on [protected]@eim.ae or call me on [protected] and after 29th of december on[protected]

Thanking you for your support.

Regards

Ignatius

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is Lakshminarayana reddy B N. i had airtel broadband connection with airtel Account Number: 16179607 & airtel Number: [protected].

My connection is stopped working on september 11th 2011. i have raised the request to solve the issue. but the technical person who came for resolution said it cant be solved as the cables are damaged heavily.Hence i raised the request again in october for disconnection.airtel team took more than a month for disconnection and asking me to pay money for september(11th onwards), october, november months. i am really confused when i am not using the connection how bills are getting generated. These months i have not used the connection and the same informed to the customer care..

Please note my connection is stopped working on 11th september 2011.I have raised request for connection not working with Request number : 3857868.
Connection Cancellation request number raised: 5385124
Request no for bills getting generated again and again for unused connection: 8506042.


Even though i have requested for disconnection they kept billing machine alive so that bill is generated. i called more than 50 times to airtel customer care but they say we follow as system says (bill generating machine) and asking me to pay the bill.

Daily i am getting the calls for paying the bill. is there no way that i can take some action without paying some bribe to officers?

I request our indian government should take some action against such malpractices.


Thanks & regards,
Lakshminarayana reddy

HI Sir,

This regarding recharge RC 37 to avail STD call 30P/Min. I have done a recharge with RC37 but my STD calls did not converted to 30P/Min. I have called Airtel customer care for the same they said to me it's for local not for STD. I told them I can avail the Adv paper that you have mentioned. Instead they are not ready to listen me. They forward to supervise but call is so badly managed I am not able to reach the person. After 2-3 retry they blocks the call. it's pathetic for a customer even if he pays there is no solution for the problem.

Have attached the ad paper for the same.

Why air tel customer care not reachable even a customer is paying for the call.

Dear Sir,
Airtel mobile compney had cut balance from my mobile number [protected] which is approximate 90 INR. i had more call to airtel customer care then airtel give me complaint number CBCC[protected] But present time no response by airtel


Thanks

Hi,

This is regarding my airtel broadband connection issue. I had placed a request for shifting of my broadband connection. The request was placed on 12th of July 2011 for the number[protected]. The connection was shifted on 8th of August to my new address but it is not been active since.I am being billed for both the old and the new number for the past few months for a connection which is not even working.

I want to mention that i have been a customer of airtel for more than 4 years and till this date i have had no issues with the customer service. But now if i am asked an opinion, i would definitely not vouch for the service you guys provide.

Its been exactly 5 months that i have placed a request and not less than 50 times have i contacted customer care or tried to go to the airtel center and tried to resolve the issue, but none of them seem to take any interest. They say there is black out period which has happened with airtel. May i ask how long do you guys have a blackout period and how long it takes to take an issue as serious.

I am tired of calling customer care now and waiting each time just to hear that the issue is being resolved or in an open status and some executive will revert back to me soon. None of them do revert back in reality.
There have been times even when the executive has even hung up on me. I also tried to contact the nodal officer and emailed him about the issues (forwarded below) and i could not see any progress in that as well.

I have reached a situation where in i have to take a decision on this, as this is been bothering me for too long now. It is unbelievable that Airtel doesn't have time to resolve my issue but has time to inform/call for promotional ads. Airtel has about 200 million customers across its operations and i guess i am not one of the valued customers in them.

Please let me know if in case there is any resolution to my problem at all, though i have lost all the patience.
Below are the details of the connection:

Number which was shifted:[protected]
(address: B251- Sobha Hibuscus, Sarjapur Outer Ring Road, Bellandur, Bangalore
Number after shifting:[protected]
(address: G-302, Keerthi Harmony, survey no. 3823283, Raghavendra Nagar, 4th Main road, Kalkeri, Bangalore
Number again shifted to:[protected]current). I am able to receive calls in this number.

In the middle of all this shifting the was a period when the connection was working but just for 2-3 days maximum. (during Oct 15-30)
But it again got disconnected due to billing issues.The last update i had received from airtel is that the number[protected] is disconnected and the numbers[protected] and[protected] are active. Both the numbers are getting billed for. I have registered multiple complaints to the customer care regarding the same.
I have personally gone to indiranagar branch twice in bangalore and tried to resolve the problem. The first time the manager incharge told me it would take 2 days to get this done. Almost after 2 months i went there again ( as i was not in town for some time) and asked for the manager, he refused to come out of his room to meet me.The last persion i was in contact was Jithin who sits out of the same branch.The first time i spoke to him, he assured me that i will get a call in 2 days with the solution and obviously i did not get any response. When i called him again after 2 days asking for a solution, he refused to give me any deadline. I am in no mood to call him again and finding out.

Now i suppose you would have understood my problem. I am still expecting you guys might revert back with a real solution this time.
I hope not to get disappointed again.

Thanking you.

Srinidhi Rajagopalan

Dear Sirs,

I have suddenly received the following unsolicited message on my mobile

"Thank you for using DUK. You will be charged Rs. 1 everyday. To stop service dial *789*407# - From 50000 message centre[protected]"

This is ridiculous and unacceptable as I have not activated such a service. I do not even know who is DUK. I am sure there must be millions of other innocent users like me being charged for this nonsense. I have not been able to unsubscribe this service.
I would appreciate if Airtel or the regulatory authorities look into this and assist me in unsubscribing this service today. Thanks

I am a regular customer of yours from past 6-7 years. On around 27th of nov. i received a promotional call on my no. that if i convert it into airtel money i will get the discount @5% on bill amount & if i booked movie tickets i will get @50% cash back.

As it is a attracting scheme i went to your airtel outlet on 30th of nov. around 7 pm but they said due to server down they are not able to issue me a new sim & told me to come tommorrow.
Again on 1st of dec. i went there & gave rs.75 as sim conversion charges.They didnt issued me any cash receipt of rs.75.
Next morning i.e. On 2nd of dec when i called customer care they said the scheme was closed on 1st of dec & as i would not be able to get any discount. Again i went to the airtel outlet on 2nd of dec & they said they didnt have any update regarding the closure of the scheme.
And when i asked them before the issuance of the sim that would i get this discount under the scheme??
they simply said "ufcose sir".

As i only want my money back of rs75 or else d proper scheme of airtel money as i m not responsible for any updation of information to airtel outlet.
I have also tried to contact your consumer greviance officer MR. MANISH BHARGAVA on [protected] but as i expected he didnt picked up the call.

Now tell me what would i do to get my money back.
Hoping for a positive action

Sir,
I Amarjeet Singh R/O # 718 ,sec.80,mohali visited your airtel relationship office at phase 3B2 mohali (SAS nagar) at about 6:50 pm on 7.12.2011 for paying my airtel bill of mobile no. [protected], after paying the bill i contacted the staff for information about airtel HD digital TV for new connection. I am also a previous customer of airtel digital tv with customer ID [protected]. But I am very sorry to say that staff sitting in the airtel relationship centre gave me no information about HD DTH TV and said that they did'nt had any information about it and asked me to contact 12150.
when I contacted the desk incharge Mr. Gurpreet Singh for the information, he also refused to say anything about it. when i asked "You have installed a dummy dish of airtel digital TV in airtel relationship centre and below its written (yahaan uplabadh hai)" means available here, then he loudly and aggressively spoke to me in public and said "Yeh to thekon par bhi likha hai , kya aapko wahaan par Digital TV ka connection milega " (this is also written on wine shops would you get it from there). When i asked him to give me complaint book he straightaway refused to give me the same.

I am 8-9 years old customer of airtel with mobile nos. [protected] , [protected] , [protected], [protected] and a airtel Digital TV connection with ID [protected]. (presently all working )

I request you to kindly take a strict action.


Thanking you

In feb’11, i paid Rs.150/- with request of ESPN top up for which 99.99 was deducted.
My balance at this point should be Rs. 50/- as above (150 - 99.99) as confirmed by the statement available at Airtel site.
But in May/June’11 onward a negative balance msg started flashing at my TV screen, I enquired about that they said it may be because of airtel is deducting on daily basis for ESPN top-up.
Since, ESPN chennal was not available on my TV, why should I be charged for the same without any prior notice to me and further I requested airtel to immediately stop ESPN top-up in July'11 further.
In July’11 I have paid Rs.150/- with request of PARAS top up for which Rs. 5.60 was deducted.
After some time the negative balance MSG again started flashing, I again call Airtel customer care, they said your case is genuine, we will definitely re-solve the issue within 48 hours after that there will be no negative balance msg but matter was again unresolved.
Today, when my services suspended, I talk to your customer care @[protected], first call was cut by your executive without any reason. In second call my call was transferred to any senior executive, who said that your ESPN top up is still on and airtel is still deducting charges for this top-up on daily basis.

My pain is as follows:
1. Why Airtel is charging me for ESPN top up, when the same is not available on my TV
2. Worst thing is "when in june/july'11 I expressly requested to stop ESPN services, why these top-up is still on in your records only."
3. When you are charging for something from my account, why you are not showing these monthly deductions in my online account with airtel. How one would come to know that airtel is deducting some charges from his account.
4. give me the full statement showing complete deductions from my account.

I am S.Pugazhenthi. I'm living in Chennai. I planned to buy a new whirlpool refrigerator and whirlpool washing machine in Vivek's Home appliances in Annanagar East, before 2011 Diwali. Vivek's salesperson told me that Vivek along with Airtel Money SIM had launched a new 10% cash back offer. Because of this offer only I bought the refrigerator and washing machine in there. I bought two airtel money SIMs ([protected], [protected]) from Mr.K.Sirajul Malik (Contact No:[protected]) in Vivek's Showroom. I submitted all the required documents to him. I made the payment through airtel money SIM for that appliances. Needless to tell the refrigerator was delivered in worst condition, replaced twice that also not satisfactory. They told me the moneyback offer money will be credited within 10 days. After 10 days the money was not credited. Since I had a plan of buy another appliance with that offer, I called Vivek's person and inquired about the money not credited problem. They informed me that it is not their problem and I have to contact Mr.Sirajul Malik or some other airtel person. When I contacted Mr.Sirajul Malik he told me that the documents I submitted were not clear. So I submitted the documents once again. Within 3 days my Airtel money account was credited to Rs.2000 and Rs.1890 in two SIMs. After a week I went for the purchase to Vivek's showroom. During payment Airtel money could not be used as it gave me error messages only. When I contacted Mr. Sirajul Malik again he said he will correct the problem within 2 days. Bythen the SIMs was deactivated. After 2 days when I contacted, he once again asked for documents submission. So I again submitted the document and waited for the airtel money. Nearly after one month he told me everything was clear, but I have to submit the documents again to a nearby Airtel office. When I went to submit the document the person in Airtel office told me that our SIM has been deactivated and sent to recycle for non-submission of documents. There is no way of recurring the credit in Airtel Money SIM. The deactivation and recyclying has been done within 2 months of purchase of the SIM. If not for the cashback offer of Vivek's I would have bought it some other shop with 5% less price that Vivek's price. I'm now experiencing lot of stress by the combined cheating of Vivek's showroom and Airtel Money SIM card.

Sir,

Myself Avishek Bhattacharyya,an Airtel pre-paid user([protected]) had recharged my account with Rs.47 for activating the free sms pack for 30 days.However,although I received a message that the easy recharge had been successful,the sms scheme was not activated.Morover,my account was not credited with any balance.This is highly disappointing as it has forced me to have a rethink about continuing on your network.I hope you look into the matter as soon as possible as am extremely upset with the monetary loss caused by the latest fiasco.

Yours sincerely,
Avishek Bhattacharyya

As You Buy Talk-time, Beware!

On Dec 4, I was recharging my prepaid account –as usual -- to build up talk time [vide Transaction ID[protected]]. And as usual, the screen flashed, ‘Recharge Successful.’ So I went my way.

But it has proved to be a case of ‘operation successful, patient dies,’ as I’ve since learned. That was when I found a day later that the recharge had made hardly any difference to bolster the health of my talk-time balance. The balance showed no change whatsoever even after the recharge.

To my shock, I now gather that the amount has been credited not to the usual talk time balance – but elsewhere. According to Airtel’s Customer Care, they have credited the cash into a new ‘Dedicated Account 11.’

Whatever that be, I have no idea. When have they opened that ‘Dedicated Account’ for me? And why, all of a sudden? As a consumer, I have little knowledge about these things. I have not sought such a facility. Nor have I asked for any 3G data – supposedly against that ‘Dedicated Account.’

Should the customer be taken for a ride?

A company may be eager to sell a product in the market. Welcome. But the customer, too, has a choice to buy whatever he or she wants. And just nobody – not even the country’s leading mobile service provider -- can dump a product on an unwilling consumer, if the person chooses not to consume it. Surely, there could be no question of the consumer paying for a service he or she hasn’t asked to buy.

Let me repeat I have not asked Airtel to open the so-called Dedicated Account.They have done so without my consent in the first place and then hijacked the regular recharge amount into that new account, again without my consent.

In the event, the least I expect of them is to undo the Dedicated Account and credit the amount in favour of talk-time, as intended.

Whenever you call to customer care 121 and select any option that goes to their "talk to our Customer Care representative", then suddenly call gets disconnected.
Airtel is earning money as the 121 is chargable and they automatically disconnect the call when you select the option to talk to the customer care representative.

This is the worst IVR system I have ever seen.

I have registered my complaint with airtel for my office landline number from past 2 days but no one from Airtel is bothered to help us. Every time they ask us to write mail to different e-mail ids but they do nothing in that response. We have done everything we were asked to do but our problem is still same and our complaint is going unheard. Our office landline is dead from 2 days, we tried to contact airtel by every means but it going in vain.....

So we request you to please do the needful in the matter and help us to get out of this problem soon.

Our office Address is A-56, IKF House, Sector-16, Noida and our office landline number is[protected].

Thanks & Regards
