Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I am getting average speed of 2-3 kbps here. i am using Samsung GT-S5620 handset. The gprs speed is very poor. I complained 10-12 time to customer care. but these persons are just showing their blank faces and also doing nothing. Is this your services. day by day the speed is decreasing. I don't know what you are planning. But I you are loosing your customers.

Annoying HungamaClub Alerts from Bharti Airtel AD-54321
I get this ANNOYING SMS EVERY WEEK.

"You have been renewed for HungamaClub subscription service from Airtel. You have been charged Rs10. latest games http://gclub.in browsing @30p/20 kb "

I have not requested such type of service from airtel. I checked my balance is deducted Rs 10.

I have an Airtel prepaid connection. I recharged my mobile with Rs 98 internet GPRS plan. But the speed is too slow. I specially purchased a new android phone for keeping mysel[censored]pdated with stock market movements but the gprs is too slow to support any software I install to give me share price quotes. Even google is not opened sometimes to browse anything. To my surprise the GPRS runs much better after 10 PM or so as compared to before that. I tried calling the customer care but they are unable to help. My mobile number is [protected]
Thanks

I have been receiving calls from an unknown caller. His no. is [protected] and mine is [protected].

I was using Airtel telecom no. [protected].
I had activated a STD pack worth rs. 25, in which call charges are 1.2 rs/3 min on 30 Aug.
the pack is valid for 30 days i.e upto 28 sep but they deactivated the same on 24th sep only and when i contacted customer care the executive was not aware of any such package when i told him that i'm using it from last 3 weeks and charged accordingly then he said we will resolve ur issue on 28 sep... the day when the pack expires...rediculous
The same thing repeated earlier also. In the month of May, pack activated on 27.04.2011 and supposed to expire on 26.05.2011 but they deactivated it 19.05.2011 and giving the explaination that u have not any such plan in your plan when i told that i have confirmation message regarding the pack then they said we are looking after it about a month it happened.
i had also visited Airtel relationship centre regarding this but all in vain. they just looted the people.

Sir/Madam...

Airtel service has been so pathetic nowadays..... Till now 3G is not activated for my airtel number([protected]). I have been trying to activate 3G for more than a month, but still unsuccessful I complaint to cc several times. They are telling it will be activated in another 4hrs every time!!! (30 days have gone since i made my first request)) but no use...Now am planning to move to other network if the issue was not solved in another week...

Calls to 198 for me is blocked...

Airtel has installed a Mobile Tower at Raheja Vihar Powai Chandivli Mumbai on the terrace of a building called Golden Rays which poses a great health hazard not only to the occupants of the building but also to those who reside within 300 mts viz Sunset co op hsg society Immediate action should be taken to dismantle the installation which poses a tremendous health hazard and has been installed by the Company which is in gross violation of security normsl and exhibits scant regard by the company towards public health

I have shifted my residence within the same city and raised a request for transfer of service to the new location where it is completely feasible and the neighbour at next door has AirTel connection as well.
Requested Date: 19-AUG-2011
Re-Registered this request: 26-AUG-2011
Status: No update on when the transfer is going to be made.
Today: 25-SEP-2011
Mode of Contact: Email ([protected]@airtel.in)

The customer care is only paid to respond to emails with an automated template that has minimum details to be filled in. No specific questions get answered, even though its asked over and over again. Deadlines put forward by themselves are never adhered to. All the details are attached as a document for reference.

I am not sure how to take this forward and what is their escalation procedures. To add to the woes, BSNL does not provide service in that area as well. So there is no alternate option. Been without a landline for over a month in a new place for no reason.

Pls unsubscribe from gclub.in/ea
I have not subscribed for this website, but deduction is made without my knowledge.
My number is [protected].
I have lot of problem such like this amount deduction.

I had bought an airtel post-paid number somewhere in Dec 2010 or Jan 2011.
As i was not receiving a proper signal in my room or say the network signals
were inconsistent, I had raised a request for the same. My complaint id is
35146334. I was promised that I will be receiving conformation about improving
the signal strength in my area on my other no.
Secondly, I was told that the current bill amount will be debited from my
account as soon the signal is proper and i start using airtel services.

Nothing of this happened, no confirmation from airtel side.

But, today a lady calls up in the morning. Her name is Shweta Patil and she
claims that she sits in Airtel Head Office (as told by her).
Trust me, she was so rude talking and claiming that I have to pay 845 INR
something to Airtel in spite of me telling her that i had raised a request for
network not proper long time back. But, she told me that customer care
knows little. She was even suggesting me that i should do a settlement by
paying 500 INR, else she would be sending some letter. It was the rudest
conversation, i had in 25 years.

After this, I call airtel customer care, the customer care official told me that
my bill is 184 INR. Also, he told me that the complaint number i had got last
time does not exist. He gave me a new id. 39776139, for the same.

This is the case with so many customers.
I am also one of thier victim.
Automatically some value added service like hello tunes or LKD starts and on contacting airtel people tell that you have sent the message for activation.

On arguing sometimes they refund your amount and in some cases they do not.

My present case is that they activated my LKD service automaticaly few days back. I sent the message for unsubscribing after lot of argument. LKD service got deactivated at 10:49 AM on 25/09/2011 again I received a message at 13:23 on the same day that they have renewed my LKD service for Rs. 10/-.

Now can anybody suggest what to do with this case?

Dear Sir,

This is continuation of my earlier complain on 11th sep 2011, where i have written about activation of CRI service by Airtel. After my complain they stop the service but they activated again on 24th sept 2011 and reduced Rs 5/ from my account. Please do the needfull and help me in finding permanent solution.

With regards

Dear Sir

Its for the kind notice once again, that I am still receiving sms from 56363
regarding Model Video Club on regular basis. Today I received it at 3:06 pm.
Daily I receive one sms from 56363, since 5/9/2011, the matter of which is:
1.) To get todays Model Video Club content click here(charges 10p/10kb)
http://bit.ly/AlModelVid
and
2.) Dear User, your Video club service will be renewed in 2 days and you will be
charged 30Rs for 7 days.

Kindly notice my complaint and help me in this as it has created a lot of
trouble since last month. I have complained Airtel about this and they are unable to sort it out. They have posted a waiver in my last bill but I am harrased mentally about receiving such sms again and again every day. No doubt they will post a waiver but till then I have to keep on writing them again and again. Its really harrasing. My airtel number is [protected]. Kindly help as soon as possible.

Regards

To whomsoever it may concern,

I had ported my reliance number to Airtel 6-7 months back and i have been using the airtel services on that sim since the last 6-7 months.

My sim card was rejected a month earlier from today, when i was asked to submit the appropriate documents and my number got activated within 4 hours.

Now, it has been rejected again even after submitting the appropriate documents.

Customer care representatives told me various different things like :-
1. I have to submit documents again
2. The number has not been ported
3. No records exist in our system for your number
4. Airtel server is down.

The nodal office representative who called me after i wrote a mail to them, told me that they have contacted the airtel gallery at goregaon-w and airtel gallery representatives told the nodal officer representative that no documents have been submitted by me, ever.

After the teleconversation i had with the representative from the nodal office at mumbai on saturday, i was told that my number would get re-activated within 4 hours after submitting the documents at the airtel gallery on saturday (24/09/2011).

When i visited the Airtel Relationship Centre at goregaon-won saturday, i was told the following things by the arrogant and unfriendly lady manager there:

1. My number has been deleted from the back-end system and that i will have to pay INR 25 to get a new sim and it will take 4 days for the sim to get activated.
I hope, you realize that i am a working professional and i have given my number to a lot of important people and if people are not able to reach me for 4 days, it will cause a lot of disruption, disturbance and loss to me and my profession in addition to the mental trauma it is causing.

2. The documents have been rejected just because the signature across the photograph extended till the face in the photograph and because the signature on one of the documents was a little light in intensity of the ink of the pen.

What i am curious to know is that :-
1. Is it a way to charge extra money and earn revenues by giving a new sim card to customers after some error occurs from your side?

2. How can the number be deleted from the back-end system, in case there is some issue with the documents of the customer. Shouldn't the customer be informed about the issue rather than deleting the number from the back-end, when the airtel gallery representatives have all the details o[censored]s in their system.?

3. How can the documents be rejected just because the signature across the photograph extended till the face in the photograph and because the signature on one of the documents was a little light in intensity of the ink of the pen?

4. Don't you feel it is important to inform the customer about the issue rather than just deleting the number from the back-end?

I thought that my issue would get resolve after i got a call from nodal officer representative, but the trauma has increased even further after my visit to the airtel gallery.

I need this problem to be resolved as soon as possible unless you want me to take a strong action.

I will simply say Airtel DTH service is the worst in terms of cussomer complaints.

It's been more than 4 months now I am asking them to deactivate my mobile no. which was registered with them.Still they have not done that.

Even the worst thing is that Customer Support team is so bogus that they give wrong complaint no. to customer sothat he/she could not track it.

Every day they keep sending irritating sms like watch this movie,activate this channel.

I will simply suggest if anyone is going for DTH go for Tata Sky , at least they do not send such irritating sms.
