Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Dear Team, On 12th March 2021, my Airtel number 99xxxxxx96 which i was using since past 18-19 years is been blocked! and when i had visited the Airtel shop, the operator gave me other sim card by telling my sim is blocked; and also he informed me that the sim card will be activated within 3-4 hours. After 4hours when i inserted the sim, it says the services are not been activated in this no!!

then i thought, let me give some time, let me ON the sim on next day morning SUnday 14th March, but still! on 14th March the whole day the sim card wasn't activated.

On 15th March 2021, when i rebooted my mobile, suddenly the network bar showed some network but the calls were not going from the number. So i thought let me dial my Airtel no from other phone number, for my surprise it did rang, but not in my mobile, in someone else's mobile, and someone received the call also!!! this is really not done! i haven't deactivated my number & how my mobile number can be connected to someone??. TO check the same i asked my Hubby to contact my no, when he contacted no one responded but the call was going through!! after some time the person calls me back & for my surprise its my number i see as calling 99xxxxxx96!!! on my mobile display!! but when i asked that person he mentioned that the number he is dialing is his number starting from 87xxxxxx88!!! Now! tell me who is at a fault here??? is it the AIrtel service provider???? Please answer my querry and i want to lodge this complaint. I need my number back !

I purchased fast tag for my vehicle TN74AL9999 through Airtel bank on 22 February but not yet delivered. The status showing shipped .

Whenever I'm on a call. The voice cracks again and again even with full network. This is so frustrating and disappointing. I just want to convert my sim to jio

My name is jitendra singh, airtel payment bank acont number is [protected], and i have return product on amazon and amazon send refund in my airtel bank 4 march 2021, refund of 1499/- and 4497/- issue 4 march and one amount 1499/- is credited my airtel bank but second amount 4497/- in not recive my bank, i call amazon and amazon say we send succesfully two amount 1499/- or 4497/- but if not credited your bank we give refrance number and call your bank and give refrance number your bank bank help for this, but i call bank but bank not help with refrance number, refrance number is[protected] amount 4497/- my airtel bank ac no is [protected], amazon send succesfully but 4497/- amount is not settel in my airtel bank acount number [protected].

So 5 days ago, My sim suddenly stopped and I was unable to make and receive any calls, neither I was able to send any messages or use data.
I spoke to customer care and they asked me to replace my sim card from the airtel store.
I did replace the sim card and waited for a day.
again next day my sim didn't work and customer support told me that they hasn't received the request.
Again I went to Airtel Store which is in Vyapar Kendra Gurgaon and he told me its done else you can go to big airtel store which is in Galleria Market Gurgaon.
I went to Galleria and after discussion, they also told me to replace the sim card from their store.
I again got a sim replacement and waited for the entire day to get it to work but it didn't happen.
on 3rd Day I called customer support and he said document mismatch is the issue and plz get it corrected, I went to the galleria store again and asked them to update it and they said give voter id card this time as last time I gave aadhar for both the centers.
Now they have given me a new sim card again 3rd time, which I thought should work finally.
But alas that also didn't work, I enquired again and all customer support, airtel store was giving me false answers.
Sometimes they say sim masked, sometimes they say sim barred and document mismatched.
No one was cooperating while I was waiting for my sim to get activated.
I raised the issue on Twitter as well and mailed the same to the nodal office and applette of Haryana and delhi.
My sim has an active plan for the next 2 months so there wasn't a chance of deactivation/suspension.
Customer support says they are escalating the issue and I have to wait for a couple of days or so.
I waited and still no update or call from them even on my alternate number.
The store manager and executives were telling me that they don't get this issue and tehy mailed and waiting.
But no one was really trying to fix it.
As the issue passed for another day and still they were not able to provide any help or communication I decided to raise a complaint.
They are charging me for new sim cards again and again and also asking me to visit stores multiple times.
Also, my pack validity is reducing day by day while I am not even able to use it.
That's how they are looting people.

By Bona fide a mistake recharge was done to mobile number [protected] instead of [protected] by paying a sum of Rs. 1498/- through online dt:[protected].
Immediately at 12:55pm contacted the local airtel office for redressal of my above grievance, but to no avail. Thereafter at 4:10pm sent an email to the airtel seeking remedy. I contacted the person holding mobile number [protected] to whom recharge has been done by me by mistake. But he is not prepared to refund any amount and he is not answering my calls.
In view of the above facts i request that recharge done to mobile number [protected] and services provided to it may be reverted and services for the above said amount may be provided to my number i.e [protected] for which my son has paid the amount of Rs. 1498/- as aforesaid.
I am prepared to pay any fee or charges to the company for reverting and giving the services to my number.
I hope my request would be considered.

Sir/maim
sir ai already employ in airtel when launch 2004 in up east and me allotted a sim in airtel office in Lucknow whose no. [protected] but some time closed and sim any person name use how cam receipt a sim ????

I subscribed for wynk premium subscription for 1 year on 26th feb ... but my account has nt yet been upgraded and even all my downloaded songs got undownloaded without any reason... i have wrote to them alot many times bt they never reply back..[protected] is the no. i subscribed for

I have recharged online ₹49 for my Airtel number [protected] and pay through phonepe on 12 th March 2021 with reference id T2103121757597419474426. Money has been debited from the bank but I haven't recieved any message of recharge. Mobile recharge is not done but how can money be debited??

My Prepaid Airtel Sim is converted into Postpaid without any request from me and moreover the Monthly plan is arbitrarily selected was highest Rs.652 plus taxes of Rs.117/. I use to recharge around 500 for 84 days and paying 769 per month is cruel joke and cheating by the company. No message is received on my prepaid SIM that your number is converted into Postpaid and monthly rent plan is 769 with taxes. I only received the message about monthly bill and I thought that it might be ONLINE SCAM messages, as is happening every other day. When I requested the customer care to change it back to Postpaid, they say you have to approach Airtel Store but they have NO ANSWER "How a Prepaid can be converted into Postpaid without approaching nearest Airtel Store" and that too without any request and intimation from company about change of SIM. Its UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICE by Airtel Company.

Dear sir/madam i am complaining about network connectivity in my area (Mainly for Airtel). It's's about 3-4 months that i have complaining about Slow internet connection. The customer care were foolishing me about that they are working on it. How can a network operator can take time . But they cannot do anything. I request you to please take some useful steps because today everything depends on internet. Due to low interenet my studies are problematic.

Om 12/03/21 from 2.00pm airtel network not working even calls are droping not able do any call or receive any call.

I have been experiencing poor network coverage for the past few weeks, with extremely low bandwidth, much below what should be made available to me based on the internet pack I'm paying for. The above-mentioned issue usually occurs multiple times in a day, with steep drops in internet speeds around 09.30 hours-11.30 hours, and similarly from around 22.00 hours-00.00 hours. I haven't been able to find a proper forum on the Airtel website/app to lodge a complaint, hence why the use of this forum.

My internet is too slow from 10 days and I can't use my network properly and I can't download anything.please solve my internet issue my mobile is 4g but the internet is not coming properly from 10 days..

I had a Airtel broadband with 6 month pre-payment. with payement on APR and OCT.
I made a cancellation request on SEP-2020 and I was told that your line will be cancelled and someone will be contacting you for next step and and prorated amount will be refunded. This is during the covid times and I was not able to make a physical visit to the store.

During Month of OCT/NOV, I get a call from Airtel for a pending amount of 900+. I told that i made a request for cancellation on SEP and I should be getting a refund for my unused service. But they told there is no record of such request and your line is active and i am liable to make an payment. I started getting multiple call in a week for a payment reminder. I told i will make the payment but please cancel the connection so that I am not liable for payment again. All these discussion were in phone, and there is no email proof for the same. I was given assurance that that is the last payment and my connection will be closed.

Again on month of FEB I got a bill of 700+ and reminder to make a payment. This time I wrote a mail (no phonecall) to cancel my account. I got multiple calls from airtel asking me the same question (why i want to cancel, can i move to a new location etc etc) and after 2 weeks of call my connection was disconnected. But still I am getting the phone calls to make the payment and pending amount is increased from 700+ to 1600+.

Airtel take pride with customer support which is great. But I never realized cancellation will be so painful. Airtel app is great and customer can raise all type of service request except for cancellation. Airtel website have lot of help docs but does not have have steps to cancel connection.

I feel there is systematic, conscious and deliberate decision from Airtel to hide and obscure the steps. so the cancellation is painful and difficult for the customer.

Thanking you
