Airtel Complaints & Reviews

My Mobile No. is [protected].
I had called customer care 121 from an Airtel Service Center about stopping this Subscription Video Parlour Service, which was activated without my consent at a rate of Rs 5.00 per day (Req. Ref. No. is ROVDE[protected]) on 3rd Sep 2011. She said that the service has been stopped immediately. But today 4th Sep 2011, I again got an SMS saying that "You have been renewned for Subscription Video Parlour Service. You have been charged Rs 5.00".
I would strongly request to stop all these services with immediate effect once and for all and credit-back all the charges to my account.

Sir,

Despite my calling three times @ 121 and 198 of Airtel , Caller ID service has not been activated.Please follow up with the concerned section Airtel for appropriate action.
Thanks,

Dear Nodal Officer

Can you please go through the history of this case and help resolve the problem? I have made regular payments for the actual and legitimate telephony services so far until July 2011 - unfortunately, Airtel has barred the outgoing services forcing me to switch off this number.

I have been makeing regular complaints and escalating to your available contact number/executives on 121 via emails and on phone - all I have got is false promises by your executives in addressing the issue in 2 hrs...1 day, 1 week etc...and that calls will be returned in the next hour or so...but nothing moves. The numerous complaint numbers are present in this mail trail and more can be found in your system's record.

Looks like Airtel is making the most of it's losses by charging customers inflated bills for bogus services and earning a good name by providing pathetic customer services.

Appreciate if you can resolve the issue sooner...it's hanging for more than 4 months now...thankfully to Airtel's pathetic response.

Shall also appreicate if you can provide me the escalation path in Aitel and TRAI to be followed for getting this issue resolved if it is not within your powers.
Cheers!

Hi

1. Very first thing - I have not used this internet service on airtel. It's
the classic case of billing manipulation by airtel.

2. I did not ask you to activate airtel live on my phone and you need to
reverse the charges and confirm.

3. Let me know how can I file a complaint against you for these fraudulent
charges and causing unnecessary stress.

4. I have paid the charges other than the fraudulently levied internet charges
today (Rs 500). And there is no other outstanding amount for the last cycle.

5. I am also appalled at how airtel lies to it's old customers.

I think it's enough of airtel now and time to move on.

Cheers
Gulzar

We take pride in enhancing our customers with our responsive and friendly

customers are delighted by our inimitable approach.

We would like to inform you that we have already investigated your account as
per your concern with the service request number 37444703. As per your service
request number, concerned department has confirmed that the GPRS plan at Rs.
98/- per month is active on your number with 2GB free and thereafter 30 ps per
20 KB.

The amount has been charged as the browsing was done through airtel live
service due to which you are not in receipt of benefits of free usage of 2GB.
In order to avoid balance depletion in future, we request you to save the
Mobile Office settings as default settings and delete the airtel Live settings.

The amount has been charged as per the usage of GPRS through airtel live at 30
ps per 20 KB and hence, the charges are valid.

We request your kind cooperation in this regard.

We thank you for taking out the time to voice your concern. At airtel, we

Hi!

I contacted the Airtel HelpDesk, 121, twice from my mobile today to know the
status and closure of the complaint.

1. First time some Mr. Jatinder Singh(?) came online and when he was not able
to answer and resolve the queries - he said that he is connecting me to his
supervisor. After putting me on hold for more than 1 minute - he came back
saying he could not find his supervisor and that within 2 hours a call back is
scheduled. On asking why and if he could provide me a reference number for
the
discussion - he abruptly disconnected the phone.

2.Second time - Some Parul picked up the phone after apologising for the
earlier incident she shared the status appearing in complaint status that:

i. Airtel executive has called me up on
19th May and explained the answers and now the call is closed. Surprising! I
was in Hong Kong till 20th May - who called me up and explained and closed the
complaint as well?

ii. I asked her for a reference number for
the current and earlier discussion which she did not provide. Then she also
went through the motions like - I am connecting to the supervisor - and after
making me wait on phone for 4 minutes - the call was disconnected from Airtel.

Since you are not able to resolve the complaint - please confirm the name,
email and number of your competent manager to whom this can be escalated for a
resolution

Cheers!
Gulzar Ahmed

When ever they see my number they are not picking my call. Luckily one day by mistake they attended my call and when I asked them to refund my money he refused to do so and cancelled my call.

Here are the details of fraud airtel executive member details,

Airtel has to take severe action on these people. Its word of caution to all the bangalore people to ged rid of Airtel Broadband connection.

Who can help????

Dear Sir/ma'am

This is to inform you that Airtel has charging false rates for messages which is not even applicable and the worst part is they keep changing the offers every day or every week which is very frustrating. I got a recharge pack of rs 77 which gives free sms facility till 10000 messages and i was informed the same thing via message but the moment i got it recharged i merely got the balance and not the message pack, so went back to the market and got the message pack activated which gives me a facility to message to any number @ rs0.09. Everything was going well then sooner 2 days after recharge, I started being charged @ Re 1.00 for every message.

Sir/ma'am, This has become real frustrating to keep on understanding their offers every now and then as they keep on changing and more so over they do not stick to their offers. I think this is a complete cheating with the customers and an attempt to dominate their position by making the customers feel very disheartening. In fact this is a mental harassment which is inflicted on the customer.

PLEASE HELP.

Dear Sir / Madam,

It has been more than 2 months since i have paid the application fees along with the duly filled application form and supporting documents to the authorized personal of Airtel Broadband Services in Bangalore. After having paid the fees, there has been no response from Airtel. It was promised that the services will be provided within 2 working days but i am yet to hear from them in spite of continuous reminders and requests through their customer care executives.

Secondly, I have also received the bill for one month from Airtel for services they have still not provided to me. And whenever i have tried getting in touch with the person who has taken my application form, he has been non - cooperative and now he is asking me to communicate only through customer care services.

I request you to kindly address this issue and provide me justice.

Respected Sir,

I am a prepaid subscriber of airtel connection bearing No [protected].

I want to get my all incoming and outgoing call details for the period from Jan 2011 to Aug 2011.

My email ID is [protected]@radiffmail.com.

I got a new Airtel DSL installed at my place in Bangalore less than 2 months back. Yesterday (2nd Sept), I turn on my modem and it doesn't connect. I see the router status page which says PPP Down. I call the customer service, they give me a Service Request No.[protected] and say the technician will be at my place by 1:30 PM on 3rd Sept. So far so good.

Now after some time, I notice the router status page now says Invalid Username/Password. I call the customer care again, thinking the router config file might have gone corrupt. Now they tell me that "Airtel is terminating all new connections due to some backend issues. If you want, you can give a request for reactivation". Totally aghast, I give in and make a request for reactivation. The Service Request No. is given[protected] with resolution time as 10th Sept. 11:30 AM (Yes more than a week). So let me get this straight, they have no qualms disconnecting an active connection, without the users consent or informing him, in a blink of an eye. But to reactivate, they take more than a week?

Dejected, I agree, asking the customer care exec. nicely to put it on a priority. In the morning (3rd Sept.), I check the connection again. Still PPP Down or Invalid Username/Password Error. I call the customer care, they say its active now, so I request the username and password. To my dismay, they give me the login details of ANOTHER DSL USER! The user was [protected]_kk (which is not my phone no.)

Yes, you heard it right. I objected, but the exec. says these are my new details. Okay, I try putting these in the router and of course, it doesn't work.

I call the customer care again, this time the exec says, my connection has been "Voluntary Disconnected", meaning I put in a request for termination! A big WTF moment for me!

I ask the exec to pass me on to a supervisor, she puts me on hold and then disconnects (standard tactics I believe).

I call again, this time the person says that the connection is terminated and already they have put a req. for reactivation based on my previous calls (same Service Request No. 3394538). She suggests that the only thing I can do is to wait. My request for a technician to visit my place has also been terminated (oh the irony!), and cannot be issues since the connection is DEAD!

So to recap:

1. Airtel terminates my DSL connection out of their own whim, without informing me.
2. They blame the problem first on hardware, promise to send a technician but then close the service request without informing me.
3. They take the request for reconnection, then say its reactivated, then says its terminated because YOU ASKED FOR IT.
4. Presently, as many times I call the Airtel Customer Care, I get different response, based on my luck and the person on the other side.

So I would request Airtel to get its act together and atleast be consistent with their lies. That, or just reactivate my DSL, pretty please?

On 29 August 2011 I had lodged a complaint against Airtel for debiting my prepaid account No. [protected] with Rs.30 for Airtel Friendz Chat. Yesterday I received a call from Airtel Customer Service mentioning this complaint. I confirmed with them that I did not require this service. I asked them to immediately credit my account with the amount that was deducted, to which the person agreed and said it would be done in half an hour.

From that moment, my phone has become totally inoperational - I am not able to receive nor make calls, I am not able to see the balance in the account, etc. I request that suitable action be taken against Airtel who are harassing customers in any way possible. They are a lot of irresponsible, spiteful and negligent people who have no care for the customer's privileges for which we have paid in advance.

This is the secondime I am being put through such an experience, and I would like a permanent end to be made to this unreasonable torture.

Hoping for an immediate action on your part.

Thank you.
