Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I have obtained prepaid SIM from airtel hoping to avail 3G services on my black berry 9300 Airtel prepaid - No.[protected]. After having sufficient plan money > Rs.399 – when the process is completed and remittance amount is mentioned, reply SMS says new prepaid customers “we are unable to process you request. If you are a new prepaid customer please try again after 24 hours”. This amounts to say that their existing system is not fully operational or setting is being done now. After having completed process and not getting the services desired for three days – again today I am told to wait up to 48 hours.

I think it is a clear case of systems not functioning whether hardware or software or technical people are unable to handle new accounts. After five hours speaking to several agents and three nodal officers today, I could see ‘3G’ for some time on my Mobile and off and again on; once ‘GPRS’ was also seen. At the time of writing this mail I see on ‘edge’ appearing.

Airtel should not entertain request for 3G services and ask the customer to follow the process of registration, until their systems are in order and if it is going to be 48 hours later, then should ask customers to start the process of registration only after 48hours and just not give excuse as “we are unable to process you request. If you are a new prepaid customer please try again after 24 hours”. I have lost about Rs.100 speaking to Airtel customer care for no avail.

Please inform me whom should I contact in your esteemed Authority for redressal of my grievance.

Respected Sir,

I had already mailed this mail to Airtel at [protected]@in.airtel.com on 01.10.2011 at 10:02 pm and also to the Chairman and and as well as Legal Adviser/TRAI. I also received a acknowledgement message on my Mobile number [protected] through 121 that "Thank you for writing to Airtel. We acknowlege the receipt of you email. We shall revert to you within 24 hours. And after laps of time I am mailing you the same complaint as no communication has been made through Airtel till date.

I am the subscriber of Mobile Service from last 9 years and using 8 mobiles from Airtel only. On 01.10.2011at around 1:15 pm i got a same message by AD-Service on my CUG's mobile numbers which are activated in the Bill Plan RA 13 CUG 25 (North) which is a corporatate connection of Railtel, Ministry of Railways, New Delhi that "Your bill plan will be revised w.e.f. 1-Oct-11. New rates: Monthly Rental Rs. 140, local @30 p. STD @60, National Roaming @ 60 Unlimited GPRS @ Rs 50 @ Zonal CUG free.

As it was a very shocking message that without my request how my plan got changed. As the CUG numbers were activated in COIP "Company Owned by Individual Paid". And at time of activation only my Railway id proof was taken by the airtel representative and my numbers got activated without any written/verbal agreement that in near furture the plan will get changed and as well as no information was also provided that the plan will automatically changed without taking my consent.

As the the Bill Plan RA 13 CUG 25 (North) is the Zero Rental Plan and all of sudden I have to pay Rs. 140/- rental per month on each mobile which finally comes to the monthly expense of Rs. 1120/- is not a small ammount.

It is a clear cut cheating of the company, and such types of frauds can't expected by the reputed Company like Airtel. I want to tell you that Railways is not bearing any expenses on my usages and only I am paying monthly rentals from my pocket for my usages. As it is matter of my own concern I will definately file a suit in Consumer Court for such type of act against the company. And I will not pay rent for my mobile connections as my plan was activated in zero rental and I will also not discontinue my all the mobile services untill any legal decision will come. What ever tie up Airtel had made with Railways or Railways had made with Airtel, I am not aware of that, my connection was activated in Zero Rental let it remain activated in same plan and not in revised one which is of with Monthly Rental of Rs.140/-.

I therefore request you to kindly look into the matter at the earliest. An early action is highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards.

Dear Sir/Madam,

my mobile no is[protected]

Posted Date: 5th Oct 2011

Hello Folks,

Need all of your expertise here...

I have an Airtel Bangalore connection and I normally send several National(STD) messages everyday to my friend staying in Jharkhand who is having a Reliance connection in Bihar/Jharkhand circle. I used to have my Nokia messaging system activated in my Nokia E72 cell phone and my bills used to be a bit high due to the data transfers for emails. So last month I deactivated that service to reduce my bill amount. From then on my national messages to the above mentioned Reliance number stopped getting delivered.
I complained about it to the Customer Service for which they kept telling me that it’s not Airtel’s problem and told me to check with the other Service provider.
A few points to note here:
• My friend is able to Receive and Send both Local and National SMSes from/to all others including Airtel numbers, but unable to receive my messages. I am able to receive SMSes from that Reliance number.
• I am able to Receive and Send both Local and National SMSes from/to all. I even receive National SMSes from the above Reliance number but message sent back to that Reliance number is not received at the other end, even though my cell doesn’t show as undelivered and can find the sent messages in my Sent Items.

Now to my surprise, after last month’s billing cycle was over my messages to that Reliance number have started getting received at the other end.
My Question:
1. Is it possible that Airtel DELIBERATELY stops messages to a particular number (where the frequency of messages is very high) for sometime atleast, so that they can force us to increase the calls to that number thereby increasing their call revenues ???
Reason for my Question:
I really feel this because Airtel’s Customer Service people kept telling me that there were no issues on Airtel’s end and then suddenly National messages started getting delivered to that Reliance number after my billing cycle was over.

Hi,
This is regarding my postpaid mobile connection [protected] provided by airtel. I have been using this number for the past 6 years. Recently I got an update that there is an offer for 3G usage in Airtel which is called 3G Double Dhamaka plan. I was in a normal Rs. 98 GPRS plan where I was getting 2Gb free in a month. I thought of giving a try to the 3G stuff and changed my plan to Rs. 100 for 200MB. The highest speed offerred by Airtel is 21.1 Mbps as advertised by them. I am not asking for that speed any how and just need something near to 5-10% of the top speed. Right now I am getting a speed of around 300 Kbps which is not acceptable at all. I raised a complaint with Airtel customer care and they said I will get a call within 4 hours, I waited till 4 days but still notcall. I called Airtel customer care again and they said they are escalating the issue and not able to give me a reason whether why I didn't get a call or whether why the issue is not resolved.

I just wanted to make awareness to all the Airtel 3G users, you are not getting the speed for which your paying and what they advertise. I will update this in facebook and also please inform this to all your friends who are using 3G. Airtel is cheating all their customers and people are not aware of it at all.

Regards
Riyaz

Dear Sir,

I have been a customer or Airtel Prepaid phone for more than 5 yrs. It feels very miserable when you ask any query to a Airtel customer care representative about any validity recharge issue or any plan that you would like to know. They either don't know anything or they don't want to share anything that is important for us to know.

Recently, the validity of my mobile phone number ([protected]) number got expired. I received no message and when I spoke to a customer representative, I was told to call some other number. Do these people have no idea? Are they kept to trouble us by asking us to call every other number to resolve our issue? I still have my phone off due to this. The other number I tried calling doesn't resolve my problem.

Please look into this.

Thanks,

After that My bill for 8 days was Rs.784/- against which I asked waiver of Rs.500/- (Internet charge) from Airtel which they also agreed & pass on to me.

But in Bill duration 12th Aug to 11 Sept 2011 they are not agrreing any waiver & have stopped my outgoing service for not paying total bill of Rs.3666/- . In between bill period once I hvae done trial & error & just sent sms of AGPRS98 on same 51619 on date 22nd Aug 2011, against which again I received sms with reference ID for AGPRS98 : 34009838.
Now I Airtel is not agreeing on Activation made on 4th Aug 2011 & even after a chain of mails to Airtel I am not getting an appropriate response & struggle to contact Airtel as they have barred my outgoing & also barred my number from Complaint Helpine 121 & 198 from date of bill which is 12 th Aug 2011.

If any clarification required, please call.

Kindly intervein in to the matter and solve my problem.

Hello,

I applied for AIRTEL broadband on June month.(Application no: CH1191797)
An AIRTEL guy gave me a reciept and collected Rs.1299 from me saying that connection would be given in 2 days.

After one or two weeks, no reply from AIRTEL. I contacted and they said that my house is in a non-feasible area.So asked me to cancel the application on JULY month.

I cancelled it on July 1st week. They assured me that I would het my money within 15 days.

It is October and I have not got any good response from them.

So, I started to e-mail about my concern from August month, Whenever I send e-mails, they would reply me with a a fresh ticket number.
The ticket numbers I've got are:

2982820
3495012
3656048
3733330
4689012

They would set a dead-line for each and every ticket number. And if I send an e-mail on the dead-line date about that, they don't reply me.

After 2 days, they will ask me to wait for another 1 week and issue me a new ticket number.

I even tried to call to these numbers [protected] and [protected] about my refund status or about the ticket numbers.

But you know what these people are doing? They will put the line on hold for 10 minutes and I have never got any fruitful reply from them. So I will lose Rs.10 on each call(I've lost more than 70 rupees to get my own money) This made me to stop calling to those numbers.

Please anyone help me to get my money.
Please forward this complaint to anyone in AIRTEL.

Thanks in advance.

To be precise, I am listing my problem in short. I have two complaints.
1. Network coverage issue at my home since last 8 months.
2. I gave up on airtel and applied for MNP, but they rejected it.

I am airtel post paid customer since last 4 years. I did not wanted to shift to any other service provider and hence i waited for 8 months to resolve this network coverage issue(I think is the most genuine reason to apply for MNP). Finally when I applied for MNP, immediatly i started getting calls from them but nothing got resolved. i also wested lots of time talking to customer care and explaining whole strory every time.

After this story I am not interested in being with airtel any more. I am ready to appeal to TRAI and go to consumer court if required.

Name: Vikas sangani (Pune)
My number is [protected].
Account number[protected]
Outstanding amount was negative when my request rejected. Still it is negative.
Airtel post paid within Maharashtra and Goa circle.
I applied for IDEA post paid through MNP.
Unique Porting ID is AZ271819
Expiry date is 30/09/2011
Airtel replied to IDEA saying they have contractual obligations.
I wanted to know what are the contracts I made with them and solve those so I talked to airtel customer care and they said we dont know. they literally wested my time keeping me on hold for long time and then terminated the call.

Here is the list of complaints.
39664401 Churn 20/09/2011 Closed
39664400 Churn 20/09/2011 Closed
39594517 Churn 15/09/2011 Closed
38944484 Churn 10/08/2011 Closed
38974960
39601064
They just close request without being solved.
Here are some of the reference numbers for talking to airtel customer care.
F[protected]/09/2011
F[protected]/09/2011
F[protected]/09/2011

I am hopeful to get it solved.

Hi ,
My Customer ID is [protected]

This is regarding the service I am getting by booking Airtel Digital TV Online to bring to the notice of higher officials.

I booked the connection Online on 19th-SEP-2011 , I opted for South value sports and the person from Vriti Interactive said the actual price is Rs 2190/- but we have a 100 discount so pay Rs 2090/- Person who contacted me (manish.[protected]@vriti-interactive.com).

After calling customer care several times the connection was installed in my premises on 30th-SEP-2011.
After Installation:
Label number:[protected]
card id : 85403566

Now on 3rd-OCT-2011 , I am not able to view anything in my TV.I have been calling customer care many times and they have been asking for 5hrs time for the past 3 days for activating my account. I am getting a ERROR CODE 6 or sometimes ERROR CODE - B001.

Please do the needful or suggest on the next steps to be taken.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi
My mobile number is[protected] and has been blocked by Airtel (Prepaid) for outgoing calls today (oct 4th 2011) without any prior information. The reason for blocking is the documents i submitted are not in line with what Govt of india wants.

I am using this mobile since last 9-10 years and stay at the same address. I made so many calls to customer care service most of the times the calls get disconnected while waiting for a customer care executive. However after trying for almost about 30 minutes i got thru and they said that i had a verification bar. The representative even asked me to verify my address and the address i gave on the phone exactly matched with what Airtel has in their computer system.

I checked with them why my number was having a verification bar, they mentioned that i did not answer the questions correctly when they called me for verification.
I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY CALL FOR VERIFYING MY DETAILS in last 2-3 months. Please give me the details of when i received that call, who called me, date and time etc... otherwise don't provide this reason to block my outgoing calls.

Also, I would like to know what is the Governemnt Norm (document) that mentions the customer to submit verfication documents every now and then, and what has been the changes in norm NOW that requires us to submit the documents again ? What is the frequency of submitting documents again as per this norm?

I hope my problem is resolved immediately., The REP told me that they can only activate my mobile outgoing calls after i submit the documents, however there are other operators like Tata etc. they activate the customers immediately and give them a week;s time to submit the documents. Then why AIRTEL does not have this? All service providers should treat their customers equally when the REASON is the same for blocking outgoing calls..

regards
A very unsatisfied customer of Airtel

I had an IPTV connection in gurgaon, recently I shifted to Indirapuram Ghaziabad. For that I had to transfer my IPTV connection from gurgaon to Ghaziabad. I called airtel customer care on 20th september that I want to shift it from gurgaon to ghaziabad as I am moving there on 1st october. He said leave you phone number with us, person from airtel will call on 1st oct and get the details and documents to shift the connection. It will take 5-7 days. I was relieved and shifted to indirapuram on 1st october.

I did not receive any call and again chased them on 3rd oct. They dont have any helpline number updated on their website under 'IPTV' section. But ultimately I was able to get one number, I called them and they gave me the number of Nitin Krishnan of ghaziabad region and asked me to call there. I could not connect to his number as it was always busy. Then after more struggle I got another number of gurgaon to call upon 4444198, executive said I should lodge a complaint and make the pending payment. I immediately made the pending payment and she gave me the request number which is 5082944. She said I will get a call with in 24-48 hours and will be done in 5-7 days. She got the new address from me.

Today I again called and gave the request number, but cust care exec told me that I will have to wait for 1 month to get it done!!!!!! I then called another person and asked him to give me a new connection, he said I will again have to pay 1750 rs(setup box, wifi) to get a new connection. When I asked the logic behind this as I already have setup box and Wifi with me, he said there is no logic, I will have to pay this in order to get a new connection else I should wait for 1 month. This is pathetic, company like airtel is looting people of their hard earned money and are monopolizing the market.

I request you to please look in to the matter and help me getting it done asap. Thanks!
