Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I just recharged my Airtel mobile with Rs.119 Booster pack but for my surprise the 10000 messages for National & local messages have been changed to 12000 messages free for only airtel mobile. this is due to the monopoly of the service provider in the telecommunication sector. Airtel started cheating.

To get Configuration File Name and dial number for Internet through dongle(data card), I have been trying for two months. Cost. Care of Airtel is only prerecorded voices and no Cost.Care Executive in link.In other networks Cost, Care is very much alert but the Air tel is 100% passive in it as it does not care interest of its Costumers. T.R.A.I . should take immediate and exemplary action against this sort of monopolized action of Bharati Airtel .

Hi

I have a Airtel dsl connection[protected].
Recently Airtel has restricted downloading torrents to 40 Kbps. My broadband connection is freedom 1699 which supports 1 Mbps unlimited.
If this continues I'll get rid of Airtel.
How can they do this. I'm paying for a bandwidth and the cap is one GB so they cannot restrict speed. If they want they can ban sites they feel are illegal but no more.
They should rectify this or I'm leaving and so will other people.

I had purchased two Sims from Cochin airport on our arrival from Oman on the 10th of June the Sim numbers are 1)[protected] and 2)[protected].We were promised that they have Black berry services and we have to charge each tel by Rs 500 each. we did carry out the same. It took them 10 days to connect the Black berry and we had made in approximation about 100 call to the consumer number which is char gable and had been kept on hold for some times up to 8 minutes and they would reply that they will connect in 24 hrs. We had missed all the emails plus the additional cost of calling up muscat ad other places to get information where as we could have spent rs 299 and used the facilities of black berry. More over the staff on the airtel office in trissure Mr. sibin on the shornur road was rude, the office never had a complaint book (ISO certified co Ha) when i wanted to lodge a complaint.

I am airtel customere with landline number [protected]. When I got airtel I asked for rs 599 plan with 1mb n 4gb download limit. After few days I called customer service I to activate isd it got activated and during that call only I asked the officer to change my internet plan from next month to 1mb unlimited on he said it will cost 1100+ taxes. I told him to activate it. He said its been done and request has been made. Today after more than a month I got my bill of rs 2500 and saying its still on the same plan as before of 599 with 4gb limit. And customer service are saying we can't do anything its your fault.
Call center supervisor cant do anything they dnt have power to waiver off bills. They just gave me appelette authority and nodal officers number that's it.

And ya one more thing this month my landline got dead atleast 5 times and once it was interchanged with someone elses number and when I told call centre supervisor I m not gng to pay for these days he said ok that's fine. So can I calculate those days n deduct money accordingly.

Bad for all the consumers that thr isn't any other landline n broadband provider except for usless bsnl and bossy airtel.

I never asked for MMS service. But Airtel added this service on its own and has deducted almost Rs 500 without my knowledge from my account. This is unfair practice and amounts to cheating ignorant customers. Despite sending SMS requests to 121 to deactivate the MMS service, the loot continues. IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY.

In my mobile no. [protected] message have been come from 54321 through airtel services by which they have send a message that ("you have renewed for FHM @ 5 subscription service from airtel.You have been charges Rs. 5 latest games http://gdube.in browing @ 30pc/k") for this message I have contacted many times airtel costomer services but unfortunately they did not disconnect for coming of above message in my mobile number repeatidly. My recharge amount of Rs 5 have been detected from my balance amount for each message.In this connection I request to airtel authorities kindly consider my request and take nessasary action to concernd officers/workers for stoping of message and detecting of balance amount immediately.I appreciate you if all type of messages are stopping froom my mobile number through airtel services.

Thanking You
Yours sincerely

I am an Airtel Prepaid (Kolkata Circle) customer - mobile no [protected].

I had applied for a Port Out request using MNP (Unique Porting Code AK984448) on 23/06/2011. I submitted my filled up MNP form to the new operator (BSNL) on 24/ 06/2011.

But today, on 25/06/2011, I received an SMS from 1901 stating that "Your Port In request for Mobile Number [protected] has been rejected by your service provider due to legal reasons -BSNL.".

I want to know on what grounds has Airtel rejected my Port request? I was approached by Airtel Customer Care once or twice regarding the porting (they called today in the morning too) -but even there I have NOT given any instructions to cancel or deny my Port request.

Since I haven't given any written confirmation / instruction to Airtel to cancel my porting request - it is absolutely ILLEGAL on the part of Airtel to reject my port out request.

Please do look into this matter on an urgent basis - so that this whole MNP does not come as a farce to all customers.

Thanks & Regards,

Airtel Company activated one unnecessary service named as "GamesManiaSubscriptionfor subscription service from airtel." on my number ([protected]) and deducted my balance nearly 5-6 times. I contacted Customer Care also (nearly 4 times) and they never helped me with this statement "We can't do anything, We can't refund your balance, it is you (i.e. ME) who activated this service".

I don't know anything about this service and during the last conversation, customer care representative dropped my phone call in between the argument ( nearly at 4:15 PM on 25th June 2011).

Request reference number of LAST CONVERSATION is CBDMO[protected].

I Kindly request airtel company to deactivate this service as soon as possible on my number ([protected]) and if possible refund my deducted balance i.e nearly 30 RS in total till now.

STOP dadagiri!!! and BUILD Trust.

Thank you in Advance,

Hi,
I have a Airtel Kerala prepaid Number [protected]. I have activated Special 5 Plan but when i call the numbers registered in this plan Airtel is Charging me the normal rate call rate is not getting reduced. I tried calling the Customer Care once they told they will connect to technical team then call went dead. After that when ever i try to call Customer care there is no option to talk to Customer care executive. Airtel is barring my number from talking to there representative. This is happening when ever i try to raise any Complaints.

My Mobile Number is [protected] from airtel. I found that this is not good service. Whenever I use to call some one I am not able to connect the call. there is nothing to listen while calling someone and after some time the message comes on screen as "call ended". I am not getting what type of horrible service it is. So I have applied in Uninor store for MNP. They have sent my request to Airtel but airtel has refused to change my number to uninor service stating that I have signed some agreement and I should report to Airtel customer center. I complaint airtel lot of time they didnt mind it .still they rejected my new operator(uninor) request.i lost upto Rs. 200 for change network. what can i do

My home is 2km from ponnampet town where Airtel tower present. initially it was well covered around our area,but last year they reduced the coverage and it became a big problem for us.even though we have the option to switch we don't want to do so. we are with airtel for a decade and we like to continue with it.Is there any chance for this? will airtel support us?

I have received message by Airtel by AD-54321,this message is unwanted & i did not acivate this in last time never & today this have activated in my mob no [protected] & reduced Rs 15 for http://gclub.in so please deactivate this plan as soon as possible with return my amount Rs 15 otherwise i will go to nerest hon.Coart of consumer disputed redasrsal commission in chhindwara MP

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is to report to you that there is some of Airtel recovery agency people calling and harassing me about the recovery of pending payment on [protected] connection.

Already, Mr. Huzefa (from your customer care Pune) has confirmed that this matter is already resolved based on billing error and adjusted towards my deposit, the connection is closed. He requested me not to entertain any other call from any agency in this regards.

But, some time this harassing agency people act as Police ( On 24th June 2011 at 10:39AM called from [protected]) or some time high court lawyer. This is something, I am taking very seriously and if not taken care by Airtel would force me to take this matter to consumer forum and file a harassment suit against Airtel.

Kindly act in this matter, otherwise, I will have to take my course of actions.

Hope you understand the seriousness of this matter and escalate this to senior level to really stop this kind of consumer harassment.
Regards,
Shyam Garg.

DEAR SIR,
We had an Airtel Connection With 30 PRI Lines. We needed that time(Feb, 2010) to 16 extensions(PRI) and now we need 5 more Airtel extensions(PRI). I spoke to AIRTEL manager about the connections but he was no right answer. We need 5 new extensions lines. But there is no solution to my problem yet. When the connection was promised us when we need you 30 extension lines without any charge. But now he has the promise of what you are saying and make it move at its own cost.We lodge our complained on dt 15/06/2011 with REF. NO. 47681284 to AIRTEL but No action has yet been received. Please bless us to have received a diagnosis of our problem.

Thanks

from the past 6 days my airtel DTH is showing error code B001 ,with signal abnormalities, after complaining at the helpline 12150 , the company sent an engineer who charged me with Rs 100+160, for the service charge and replacing the LNBF respectively, but within hours of the problem started again, and i did the same procedure and complained to the airtel executives , but two days have passed yet no engineer has come from their side as promised. i am clueless as to whom to complain as apart from the regular call centre executives there is no responsible person from the airtel side.
