Airtel Complaints & Reviews

About 3 months back in july 2011,i bought AIRTEL'S YOUTH PACK SIM according to which i can make airtel to airtel local cals at 1p/3 sec & at night at 1p/6 sec. this plan was valid for 1 year i.e. till july2012 but all of a sudden, the company is now charging me 1.2p/sec to local airtel network.

i lodge my complaint in their customer care also but the customer care executive (MAHESH) told me that company has changed the tariff plan & refused to switch me to my original tariff plan.
i asked him how can the company change my tariff pan which was valid for an year that too without even informing me but he had no answer.

i request you to look into this matter within a day or i will lodge a complaint in the consumer court as soon as possible. i have done this before also with some other site and won the case so i request you that you should not take this complaint lightly.

Dear Sir/ Madam

This is with regards to the complaint below regarding the faulty wifi modem which the airtel refuses to replace even when its with the gurantee period of 1 year. Having complained several times to the airtel customer care and also complaining to the consumer forums, it surprises me that how lighting the owners of the complaint on behalf of airtel takes these issues. Airtel is a renouned company with a certain image in consumers mind, it amazes me how that image is getting washed off due to some unprofessional employees of airtel. Complete refusal to address the complaint, acknowledge the facts and make corrective actions.
My wifi modem has not been working for more than 10 days now and no one seems to be addressing the issue. If this is the service level that airtel has to offer its customers than i am sorry the company doesnt deserve to be there. Its a service based industry and i have been a loyal airtel customer since its inception, i am sorry to say recent events pushes me to move on.

i have the reciept and the relevant documents which proves that i am being cheated by airtel in refusal to provide the services promised and i shall definately raise it with the higher consumer forums.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am extremely saddened to write this mail and bring to your notice that Airtel's service has fallen far short of my expectations.

I had purchased a Beetel Wifi 450 TC 1 brand new modem on 25th December 2010 and the product turned out to be faulty. I had faced a similar problem earlier and an airtel executive had replaced the modem. However, this modem has also ended up giving me the same trouble.As a result, I requested the your airtel customer executives to rectify the modem or replce it. However, I was shocked when I found out that without brining it to my knowledge they had closed the complaint without resolving it.
Ever since, I have been trying to place requests at both AIRTEL and BEETEL customer service centers but my complaints have fallen on deaf ears.I had also raised a complaint to HI TECH COMMUNICATIONS from where Airtel had purchased and installed the modem and gave me the bill for the same. I was clearly told that the product is under guarantee for 1 year but the service center executive bluntly refuse to acknowledge this.

I was once again taken aback by the misbehavior of your Team Leader North Zone,Mr. Kuldeep whom I explained the whole issue but got no resolution and in turn was asked to go to any high authorities if I may feel so! Being an airtel customer , I feel betrayed and hurt by your misbehaviour and unprofessionalism. Even when my product is in warranty why am I being refused service? This is absolutely uncalled for.

It is extremely unfortunate that a company like Airtel which was once known for its service excellence is now harassing its customers. I am appalled at the misbehavior from airtel executives who have now resorted to misbehaviour with their customers.

I hope that I will not be forced to report this incident to the state and federal consumer forums, as well as popular consumer advocacy blogs.
Please find below the complaint no. dated 5th October, 2011:

Hello Sir,

For the past 1 month my broadband is not working, but they have sent me bill.Broadband router is not working, it has problem. From airtel they have informed that it is not possible since warrenty is expired for betel router and it has to be taken to service center. I called the betel services center. They said that it will take 1 month to service the router,since i don't required that as i have tata photon usb broadband which i got from office.
So i have raised a ticket for my cancellation 4612486. Customer care had informed that they will give me call. But i am calling customer care every 2
days but no response.

Monday 10/10/2011 i called airtel customer care they said that on 11th they will disconnect the connection. And from Cancellation department they said that,it has been cancelled. Today 12/10/2011 i made a call to airtel customer care and they said again that the line is showing connected.

Please help me in taking action for cancelling my connection.

Request No : 4612486

Thanks,

I requested to change my connection to new place. Last one month they are not changing even they are not informing whether they can change or not.
In bangalore hsr layout, agara one local private company is giving internet service. Local airtel engineers and those local internet service provider having tie-up. If we give any request for new connection they will tell some reason to we don't get connection. After that the local internet service provider will call us for internet. Now its happening for me. I am shifted to new place that is near to local internet service provider area. So the local engineers not responding.

I don't know. what airtel management is doing. Check your list of connections in HSR Layout, agara. Who are dominating and check with your local engineers.

DEAR SIR/MAM,
WRITING IN HINDI LANGUAGE.
Hume airtel use karte hue kai saal ho gaye per kabhi koi pareshani nahi hui perantu jab se AIRTEL DTH seva ka connection liya hai jara si bhi koi Pareshani/Dikkat aati hai tau complain karne per 1 happy code diya jata hai aur hamare parivaar ko UNHAPPY kar diya jata hai.......EESA KYON ..?
HUMNE DATE 6/10/2011 KO 1 COMPLAIN KI JISKA CODE MERE PASS MOBILE MAI HAI AUR USKA COMPLAINED NO[protected] HAI, KAI BAAR BAAT KARNE PER KOI DEKHNE BHI NAHI AAYA AANE K PEHLE, AANE KA CONVANCE(PAYMENT) MANGA JATA HAI,JABKI MERA PURA 1 SAAL KA PAYMENT PEHLE SE JAMA HAI .COMPLAINED KARNE K 2 nd YA 3 rd DIN mobile per msg. aata hai "VIDEO PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED"
tau hume ab kya karna chaiye ?
Hamesha ruppes dekar apni samasya solve karvana chaiye ?
ya sabse aachha ki airtel se mukti lelena chaiye ?
KRIPYA KAR airtel DTH tv ko jaldi sudharvane ka kasht karen aur HUMEN jo pareshani hui hai UUSKA HARJANA DILAYA JAYE

hi,

I am currently residing at venkatapura, koramangala 1st block.I had applied for airtel broadband connection of the 2nd of august.The airtel agent guy Raj came running and asked us to deposit 1 month of advance payment(Rs.999) so as to get the conection without any installation charges.After that, uncountable number of phone calls have been made and emails have been sent, but all went in vain. These airtel people are simply cheaters.they seem to earn money through the process of cheating numerous people. I have tried to get the connection cancelled.The customer care assured me that they have put my complaint on urgent addressal mode,but never was it taken care of.They didnt even bother to call back to let us know the actual problem.I even mailed the nonal officer at nodal.[protected]@airtel.in.
but still they didnt bother to take care of the complaint.instead i got some stupid caf number TBLR265798.
Last week I called the customer care for the last time.they said that the money will be returned through courier at my address latest by 17th sept.11.30 a.m and then on 29th sept.but the money never came.I got call twice from the backend team saying that the cheque has been sent.but alas.Yesterday another guy from the backend team,named vishnu called up and repeated the same words,assuring me that the cheque has been sent.I am fed up. This is the heights of harassment. My app no is 265798.

I have already contact Airtel customer care have taken the extention of paying the bill by 1st of next month.

My complaint ID is: 40027221

Hi my name is raghav and i wanted you let u know i am really fedup. My 10gb internet pack does nott seem to be working. On this no i was using the 4gb plan and it was working fine. The data got used up so i went ahead And activated the 10gb pack. It was working fine until i retarted the phone. It only connected once. it seems like the phone is sending out requests to connect and not getting anything back.

Why im so frustrated is that this is the second time this has happend to me. I added the 10gb pack on anther no. It seemes to work fine at first but when i turned the phone off tuned it back on it stopped working. I spent hours on the phone and emailing u guys but i got no response back after u said u were gonna work on...

One thing have a noticed is that thw connection only works once every 24 hrs. I would deffenatly like this problem to be solved. Please push this forward to your it guys. I was thinking of getting 10 postpaid plans for my buisness with u guys and now i might have to reconsider if this problem continues. Please give me a call on this number [protected] or my other phone [protected]. I feel like its a system problem and not my phone or settings or my location because it seem to be working fine on the 4gb plan for 750.

I live in delhi ncr area.. Narina vihar.(this problem is still there no matter where i am even in a difrent state. )i have a galaxy s2.

Hi,
Airtel charged me RS 50 for ordering TETRIS Refresh game through prepaid mobile.
I called MBIZ Support team to know the unlocking code but they asked me to provide a transaction date. So Today I called Airtel customer care (Megha) to know transaction date but they are not providing me these details. They are charging me RS 50 to provide me this information. I am not happy with their services.

Thanks,
Anand
