Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I reequested Airtel people to transfer my prepaid number to postpaid as i use mobile phone a lot and recharging the mobile is a kind of hassels for me as i travel a lot so i decided to transfer the number to postpaid i got a call from them explaining all the plans and all then they sent a represantative to me for collecting the required documents for transfer and promised me it will hardly take 3 to 4 days to transfer i told them my problem as well that i wouldn't be in the city so they suggested me to carry the sim card which they gave me at the time of collecting me documents that it can be activated anytime but there was no change and i asked them quite sometime about my transfer of the services and they went on teeling me that it shouldn't take anything more than 3 to 4 days to transfer as you are an existing customer but nothing happend as disscussed and its now almost 10 days and no action has been taken yet to transfer the number and they are not even bother to contact me to tell that when it will be done and they haven't even provided me any number to contact them to know the status of the transfer.

For the past week since Thursday, 30th of June, My Airtel broadband 2 mbps service has been down. The modem is unstable and i had earlier called airtel customer care to file a complaint. A local technician checked the line and claimed it was fine. The problem persisted and i later contacted the technician who said he had informed the local line man to check my line. Airtel had assured me that my issue would be resolved by 3rd July but it is already the 7th and there is no solution yet given to me. The technician claims he cannot do anything till the line man arrives. Please look into this matter.

Complaint no: 48414456
Local airtel technician: Mr.Loganathan ( cell no. [protected])

Customer name: R.Jayanthi (Sainath Apartments,Natesan Nagar)
Account no: 16322076

This is to inform general public on blatant display of negligence, unprofessional attitude by AIRTEL.

My phone number is [protected] and I had been using this phone number since last 4-5 years (Earlier it was a different account Number:[protected]. I had been paying my bills regularly. When this phone was out of country for 3 months during Jan’2011, I had enquired about the procedure for safe custody of 3 months. He thought of it as a disconnection request. The Customer care junkie (Mohd Asik) was so incompetent that he could not understand simple English also. I then again immediately sent a mail clarifying that it’s not a disconnection request. I then got the reply from same officer (Mohd Asik) that the disconnection request has been cancelled and Asik sent the options for safe custody. See below for details. Still, he went ahead and terminated the connection and i faced lots of issues with that. If you see below, you can clearly understand the mistake of Airtel’s officer.


TO MY SURPRISE, AIRTEL went ahead and put that number in gold premium category seeking additional revenue of 1500 from prospective clients including me. It clearly shows that Airtel indulged in the act of cheating and unfair trade practice. All my appeals to Appellate, Nodal officer went in vain and after that thanks to the intervention of a senior Airtel officer, I got my issue resolved. The connection was restored wef 22nd March.

NOW AGAIN, I am told that this number is barred due to failure of the verification of change of address request. This despite the fact that I NEVER REQUESTED FOR ANY CHANGE OF ADDRESS. I was told by Airtel’s customer care executive that they visited my address on 22nd/23rd/24th April in the afternoon (between 2-4 PM) and were able to talk with security who told them that we are indeed living there for more than 2 years. It was disconnected as they could not meet me, First of all, they came on their own without any notice during day time. Airtel should understand that we are working professionals and our office hours are 8 AM - 8 PM and they will not find us during office hours if you come without any prior notice. I was never notified over e-mail also and it was abritrarily disconnected.

In the meantime, My husband also went out of country in April for few weeks and was shocked to find it disconnected when he returned. When we raised this issue, we again encountered MR. ASIK (remember the junkie earlier), who blatantly told that we have to go for new connection. He had the audacity to tell me that despite the fact that Airtel is still holding my security deposit against that number, so how can they allot the number to somebody else?


I also asked them to provide me the proof that i had requested for address change at any point of time. Also, I asked them to send me the relevant clauses in the agreement, which tells about the disconnection procedure and how they intimated me before disconnection. I didn’t get any notification where as I was getting other emails from Airtel (bills etc). THERE IS NO REPLY TO THAT TILL DATE.


I am sure that they are again doing this for getting some more money out of it. We need to collectively expose them in media so that people are aware of the standard of their customer service.

I AM ALSO GOING TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THEM IN TRAI AS WELL BEFORE GOING TO CONSUMER COURT.


[protected][protected][protected][protected][protected]--------

Hello Mr. Asik/Appellate Officer,

I was shocked to see your response. I would have appreciated if you would have understood the matter. Can you please let me know where is your office where I can come and meet you face to face?

I am told that this number was barred due to failure of the verification of change of address request. I would like to let you know/bring your attention to the following points:

- I NEVER REQUESTED FOR ANY CHANGE OF ADDRESS
- I was told by your customer care executive that they visited my address on 22nd/24th April and were able to talk with security who told
them that we are indeed living there for more than 2 years. It was disconnected as they could not meet me, First of all, they came on their
own without any notice during day time. You may understand that we are working professionals and our office hours are 8 AM - 8 PM and you will not find us if you come without any prior notice. I was never notified over e-mail also and it as abritrarily disconnected.

I would like to request you to please arrange for an address verification on 11th July, anytime between 8 AM - 5 PM in which they can come and visit us anytime. I have a small baby less than 3 months old so it would be hard for me to personally go over to Airtel Relationship center.

Regards,

Shishir

Hello Mr. Karthik (Appellate Officer)


I am writing this email to you to bring your attention to blatant display of negligence, unprofessional attiitude by YOU in resolving this issue. I have been sending emails, my husband has been calling for atleast half hour daily but we are nowhere close to resolution.


As very clear from the email chain below and as admitted by you, you have wrongly disconnected by phone without any such request from my side (You even sent an email to me that you have cancelled the temporary suspension request also). Your customer care executive was so incompetent that he could not understand simple english also. No notice was given to me and it was a unilateral action.


Not only that, you went ahead and put that number in gold premium category seeking an additional revenue of 1500 from prospective clients. It clearly shows that Airtel indulged in the act of cheating and unfair trade practice and you are liable to face legal action if prompt corrective action is not taken from your side IMMEDIATELY.

WE NEVER EXPECTED THIS TYPE OF TREATMENT AFTER 4 YEARS OF FAITHFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH AIRTEL. YOU MADE AN ERROR AND NOW YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS MY GENUINE REQUIREMENTS AS WELL, IS THIS THE LEVEL OF AIRTEL CUSTOMER CARE? THIS WAS HIGHLY UNEXPECTED FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION.


I REQUEST YOU TO PLEASE REPLY WITH YOUR ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS POINTWISE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ALSO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR OPERATION"S HEAD PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL ID. I WANT TO DISCUSS THIS WITH HIM/HER.


ALSO PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR OFFICE ADDRESS.

Hello Mr. Sharad,

I am sending this mail to you as my last effort. I would like to draw your attention to the blantant display of negligence. I had been a loyal customer of airtel since 4 years. As i was going out of country, I asked for temporary suspension of my number [protected]. Your CC officer Mr.Mohammad Asik understood it wrongly.I then again immediately sent a mail clarifying that its not a disconnection request. I then got the reply from same officer that the disconnection request has been canceled and Asik sent the options for safe custody. See below for details. Still, the connection was terminated and i am facing lots of issues with that. If you see below, you can clearly understand the mistake of your officer.


I tried to reach CC numerous times and every time i am hearing a new story, new Action items for me - Ranging from depositing 1500, submit fresh application, somebody says that its now a gold premium number so i need to deposit 2000/-. Pls have a look at this.
I am really pissed off now and am planning to send a legal notice tommorow afternoon. Before taking that route, I thought of seeking your help.

I need this connection by EOD today failing which i will initiate further actions on this regard. Request your quick response for this as soon as possible. I have never defaulted in any of my payments and I was surprised to see this kind of treatment from your side.

Regards,

Nehanisha Pandey

Hi Airtel CC,

On 29.01.2011 I requested aritel customer care to 'Temporary suspend' two of my corporate mobile connections. Reference number for the same is[protected]/[protected]. Please see below the mail conversation.

I got reply on the same day for the same to pay my due bills for one of the connection. At the same time both the connections were permanently disconnected assuming it was 'cancellation' request. I clearly mentioned 'Temporary suspension'.

Then I replied back to confirm what I have meant and what airtel customer care have understood(I asked for temporary suspension and Airtel understood as permanent cancellation) for which I received reply on same day that you have 'cancelled' the 'cancellation' request. If this is the case then why both the connections are disconnected permanently?

Now today, when I enquired again that I want to re-use one of my corporate mobile connection [protected] customer care executive told me that number has been permanently disconnected and 300/- security deposit has been credited back to me. This number is available as of now although.
Also he informed me that I have to go for fresh connection and deposit 500/- as security for the fresh postpaid connection. Reference number[protected].

Why should I go for fresh connection if already I asked for 'temporary suspension' and not 'permanent cancellation'?

It is airtel's fault that they misunderstood and acted on cancellation rather than temporary suspension. Also airtel did not even bother to wait and confirm on request on full payment of bills so that connection can be temporarily suspended.


Please note I am currently not in Bangalore and am out of town for official visit. So please initiate the 're-connection' of this corporate mobile connection from your side ASAP.

Please note again this request is for mobile number [protected] ONLY.

I have taken both the connections approximately 5 years back from airtel and till date I never had any complaints. But this incident is extremely outrageous and leads to breach of trust between a customer and airtel corporation as a whole. I am in urgent need of this mobile connection [protected] and I can not used it because of this misunderstanding on which airtel customer care has acted.

I currently hold total of 5 airtel mobile connections which tells you how much belief I had in airtel. But this incident is deeply disappointing which leads me to re-think my decision to stick with Airtel.

Please consider this request as urgent.!

Thanks!

Hi,

I had got Airtel IPTV installed with the IPTV 1098 plan. I requested for ESPN Top Up (ESPN + Star Cricket + Star Sports) on 1st July. ESPN and Star Cricket were activated, but Star Sports was not activated. I called many times (everyday twice or thrice from 1st July till date) at the Airtel Complaint number -198 and even emailed their email id - [protected]@airtel.in many times. But everytime I called these people said that my complaint would be resolved shortly or within 24 hours, but to no effect.

I am tired of calling them and had even requested for disconnection of my IPTV connection. But these people haven't done anything till now on that request even. Calling them again and again has been a mental torture for me now. They just keep you on long holds and come up with the same reply that it will beresolved.

I have given up the hope that this channel will be activated ever and am not sure what to do next.

Please look into this matter and take some stern action against Airtel IPTV.

Regards,
Ashutosh Agrawal

I have a number [protected]. i have recharegd this phone today twice for 333 rupees and now i have a balance of over Rs.600. I am trying to activate the Blackberry monthly plan for Rs.399 and the same is not happening. i called the customer service number [protected]. I was kekpt on hold by 2 different people at various times during the day and I had suffered a time loss of about 20 minutes and also Rs.20 of talking simply calling you useless customer service number without any resolution to my problems. I really wonder how Airtel can be so irresponsive to customers. Is it their Audacity that they have a good customer base and they dont care however disrespect they show to customer?? Anyways shame on this company which is headed by a great man!!!

Shri Manoj Shah promised me that iw ill get the connection in 24 hours after the payment. But its been more than two days i have not got any response from your representative (Shri Manoj Shah).

the reputation of your company is good but some people like Shri. Manoj Shah is spoiling the reputation of you company. I have been calling him more than twenty times in a day but he is continuously ignoring the matter of the new installation.

For this irresponsible services of your company, i will have to go to the consumer court, if i do not get the response by today.

I hope this letter will solve the issue quickly.

Hi Vikrant,



I have a registered mogile number [protected] with Airtel. I had applied for the DND service last year, but till now I have not seen any effect. I am regularly getting pesky messages ranging from property dealers to shapping and so on. I have registered compalints 4-5 times for this to Airtel customer care number but all what they do is give me a complaint number and ask me the ID and time of the SMS messages that I got. They do it all the times and then give me a date for stopping these SMS. Now I would like to know how you are going to stop these messages. I have got a lot of assurances from your airtel customer care but no solution. The height of this non implementation is when your customer care executives tell that they can only register complaints to the concerned companies bu they cannot stop these SMS. I think I need to take some legal help for this issue. You people are responsible for every call and message that we recieve and now you people only tell me that you cannot stop these services even after registering for DND. Le me know if it is out of your control so that I could take this matter further but then dont complain for the consequences.



I hope you got my message. Stop these SMS or wait to get booked as I know the legal options well

Dear Sir/ Madam
i have activated do not disturb service on my AIRTEL no. [protected] still i was getting the sms on my number for which i complained to customer care. they said that my complaint will be solved by 16 june 2011 by 6 p.m (complaint no. CDRGB[protected])
but it was not solved by due date . i again made a complaint om 18 june 2011(complaint no. 265754) and they said it will be solved in next 48 hours but it was not solved again.

i have given them the third reminder ( complaint no. 265754) still it was not solved .

on my 4th and last reminder customer care transfered my line to their senior officials and i have given them the full details of the sms and mr. harpreet sandhu promised me that my problem will be solved by 1st july by 1.30 p.m and still it has not been solved .

inspite of giving 4 reminders and the full details of the sms customer care is not willing to help and till date i am getiing the messages of builders and sauna belts .

i am waiting for your help and guidance

Regards
Rohit

I am very much upset with this employee from retention department of Bharti airtel. Her name is Lata Soni

She called me on 29th June 2011 from her work no to discuss regarding my outstanding bill amount of rs 3900. There was some billing problems which she actually accepted and asked me to settle the amount to Rs 2400. I paid the amount of Rs 2400 and gave her the receipt number the very next day. She agreed that she will send me the settlement papers that will avoid the legal notice. on sunday i receieved legal notice and when i called her up, she did not recieve my calls, nor she called me back. Even if i could get hold of her, she would talk for 1-2 minutes and immediately would hung up on me. After 2 days of trying, she finally picked up and then she says that you did not pay the settlement amount. I said "What"? i paid Rs 2400 as we discussed and then you told me that you will provide me the settlement paper". She blatantly lied to face that we agreed on Rs 2900 and for this reason she was not able to release the settlement paper.

I just want to point out here that this is such an unprofessional behavior showed by Airtel employee and also from the customer service people. This attitude will not help Airtel to grow.

applied for port from airtel to uninor lost 10 days back airtel was not giving clearance to uninor so plz help me , mobile no is [protected]

Hello,according to me the airtel is the most inferrior quality service provider,that they will cheat all the customers at every time....as i know that they will deduct your balance in your account automatically without informing you, when you has enough balance......so pl be care full about thet this nonsense airtel, there network coverage is good,but service is very very poor compared to all other providers.......for example recently i had recharged 30 rs my airtel sim....nextday balance only 0.70........when i asked with customer care there answer is you ARE ACTIVATED HELLO TUNES....how it is activated without any info/message? ther answer is it is by flash msg.........are you agree this....am a software engineer, am using sony ericcson model from 5 years still now i didnt get any flash msg on that............they took my complaint also...no response after 1 week....complaint get deleted..............not only for me................most of the my friends had faced this problem, some will care about these problem,but most of them simply leave these matter....its quiet serious. thats why i spend my time to publish over here........now portability makes you to solve this problem easily......so i changed my service provider to other one...........

respected sir/madam
