Airtel Complaints & Reviews

All my friends have airtel and have been cheated ( as I would call it). Airtel has started a new STRATEGY wherein they are forcefully subscribing its consumers to some random callertunes and charging Rs 30.

I think this is unethical and will soon make many consumers change their service for good.

This is regarding my problem with your company's policy of not allowing
your customers to exercise their freedom of choice of Operator. (MNP)

I have made THREE MNP Port-Out Requests as of today. All three have been rejected for absolutely Invalid / No Reason.

First Request:
Rejected because I accepted your "offer", which resulted in the cancellation.
Your Company takes extremely CHEAP methods of deception to keep your customer,
by giving them an offer, and telling them AFTER they accept the offer, that the port out request gets cancelled,
AND not even have the decency of activating the offer. VERY nice.
Rejected due to "Subsisting Contractual Obligations"

Second Request:
I made sure not to get fooled by your cheap methods again.
But AGAIN the port out request gets Rejected due to "Subsisting Contractual Obligations".
Neither your Customer Care, NOR your Nodal Officers were able to Explain why it got rejected.

THIRD Request:
Your Nodal Officer asked me to provide the UPC code prior to making the next request,
and PROMISED that it would NOT GET REJECTED FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER.
And on 30th May, 2011. I get the goddamn SMS from Vodafone AGAIN stating: Rejected due to "Subsisting Contractual Obligations"

You might, but I DO NOT have all the time in the world to Visit the Vodafone Store each time you Reject my Request.
I have no words to express my anger right now.

Yet, your company asks me WHY I WANT TO PORT OUT.


I WILL NOT go again to the Vodafone Store to make a FOURTH request, WHICH I am sure, you will reject ONCE AGAIN, I don't have time to waste.
I want the number to get ported quickly.

Hi,

I am Himanshu Soni, I have a broadband connection of Airtel, my airtel fixed line and broadband no. is [protected]. The service quality of airtel is very very bad.
After i took the connection have received the bill for two months without any issue, but after that dont know what has been changed, I had not received the bills for last two months i.e. April & May 2011, I had logged 4-5 complaints for the same to airtel support, few of the service request numbers are 47007806, 46759494, 46343002 etc. all of my complaints were closed without any confirmation from me.
The worst is they have discontinued my service becasue i have not made the payments of the last two month bills. I dont understand when i am logging complaints for billing issues how they can expect me to pay their bills. Instead of resolving my problems they have raised my pains by discontinuing my service.
I tried to reach a responsible person via airtel support as its the only options provided to customers but failed, they have lot of processes but for them only. they are not of any use to customers because they are not on the correct place.
I also tried to reach the nodel officer of my region, but he/she is busy always around the clock of work hours dont know with what!!!, looks like their is only one person who is receving lot of such cases like this....
rightnow i dont see any reason to continue my relation with airtel with this level of service quality... the support is denying me to activate my service because i have not paid the bill they dont see how many times i tried to reach them for the bills. i belive it takes only one day to send the bill but they fail to do that since last two months... and want their customers to suffer because to their loop holes in process...

What a poor quality of service :-)

That's airtel broadband.

Thanks,
Himanshu Soni

Hi sir,

4 weeks before I gave a complaint to AIRTEL digital tv customercare to add 2 channels (DD Malayalam & Jeevan TV which should get freely for me). When I contacted, they told me that "You will get it freely. To make it, we have to change the Dish position to new direction. We will do it maximum by 5 days"

But, after a week, I didnt get any calls from them.. I called back again, and they agreed to resolve in 24 hours. Now, its 3 weeks after my last call.. still I didnt get any calls.

What can I do? where can I give a proper complaint? Please suggest.. I want let them know why they should be responsible to customers..

Thanks,
Nisar

Hey Friends...

my name is Dinesh lingote, I had a airtel broad band connection with landline No.[protected]. I use to do payment at Habsiguda, Hyderabad 500 007, opposite to CCMB. Airtel executive used to give me off-line receipt(Off-line receipt means there wont be receipt no on the receipt). He use to tell me that I will provide you receipt no on your mobile as SMS. He never provide me receipt no on my mobile as SMS. my all receipt were consider except last receipt was not considered. Be alert of airtel. they are making me now to do repayment. Doing Mental harassment saying "you do payment otherwise it will be put to legal action" In some case airtel is freind or enemy we got to decide. I have proof but still not considering it.

Remark: Airtel may be good at technical part, but payment and processing bill airtel is very worst. Be alert don't take receipt without receipt no.

Airtel is kindly requested to stop mental harashment

I am a customer of airtel prepaid no. [protected], and have been using that number for a long time. I have stopped using it in the month of january and used again in february and then again used in the month of april, also performed an mchek transaction on 26th may, 2011.

Airtel have disconnected my number permanently without intimating me about it on 27th may, 2011.

Generally airtel disconnects the number if :
1. The number is not used more than 90 days or
2. If the number is not recharged with rs.200 from 6months

I don't fall under any of the category above, but still I have balance in that mobile around rs.315-00

when I called up the nodal officer of andhra pradesh, he told me that I have not used it since 90 days which is wrong.

I still have the sms of the mchek transaction which I have performed.

If I incur any loss further through mchek transaction, then airtel will be held responsible for that. As I am registered with mchek.

Finally, the nodal officer told me to buy my own number again if it is available in the market.

I have only one straight question to airtel, when I have been using that number and performed transactions, and when I am the owner of that number, then how can he sell my number in the open market and how can he ask me to buy my own number which is already mine.

It is totally illogical and unlawful with me by airtel.

I am totally dissatisfied with the answer I've got from airtel.

Awaiting for an action against airtel.

Regards,

jhansi kolishetty

I Have also received missed calls from [protected]. Please look in to the matter. My number is [protected]

I am using airtel some body tracing my mobile balance, my confidetial calls tracked some body and leak of incoming and out going call list. Please help me airtel service provider. I think some airtel agents only doing this one. Please make more security alert to the airtel topup/recharge agents. If the above option is there to airtel agents please increase the security to avoid airtel customer calls tracking, other mobile balance checking and in/out going call list. They are mis using the customer calls.

airtel, please do the need full.

I using Motorola Droid Pro (Android 2.2) handset on Airtel prepaid and cannot check main balance, sms balance or internet usage by dialing the regular *123# and other codes.
The message i get is : USSD code running.

On calling 121 and 198 the people at the call centre donnot tell me my balance.
It is just impossible to know what your balance is.

Either fix this problem or devise a way to check prepaid balance online, or through text message.

I SENT THIS MAIL TO id-appellate.[protected]@airtel.in & id-nodal.[protected]@airtel.in too.. again i just got a formal query call from them... then after no any further response till 6th day today...!!

here is the complain mail...
=====

Dear Sirs,

I have subscribed DSL with Voice with your organization since last 8 months under 3999/Rs per month 4MB plan..

Account Number: 16069397
Phone number: 044 421*3*16

I am experiencing frequent disconnection since first week of May, 2011. I have made several complaints since then via 198 complaint call. About 4 times your engineers has comes and finding there is miscarriage of link hold. But no one so for able to find and rectify the solution..! Ironically 3 times your engineers has made 'completed' report to your desk without even visited to my place or even made a call..!!! My last complaint made by 19MAY.. number 46530554 been restarted three times but only once your people visited my place by late evening & 1 times they reported 'done' without even visited or spoke to me even on phone.

As per your engineers record there is some problem in your technical end every time.. your engineers not even attending my calls or SMS if they are not able to find and solve this problem but duly they closing the complaint as 'DONE'..! Your Nodal officer number successfully only playing the 'HOLD' music every time even if i wait for 24 hours holding the receiver..!

I feel completely ignored/insulted & abandoned by your customer care hierarchy..!

Due to your this ignorant customer care for about 30 days... i have lost my one month work value about 60,000INR... office room rent 7000 paid without worked even for a day due to your pathetic net connection... and now i have got regular monthly bill from your office for 4600INR... and yet my problem is not solved.. still i am not able to work through your net connection!!!

I am looking for complete compensation from end for all this my stressful losses & my net problem gets solved in war fare mode..!

Your pathetic client..!

DEAR SIR,

regarding my complaint which i had given i happened to get a msg from
customer care asking me to call 198 to resolve the problem and provide further
information but when i tried calling from my no, i came to know that you people
have done nothing about the problem because the call got disconnected when i
opted for the option to speak to the representative, further more i called from
reliance no [protected] and finally i was able to speak to the representative
but when i told him about the complaint no and whats the status he disconnected
the call. so now what am i supposed to do

seems you people are well versed in giving false promises to the customers
, regarding my complaint nothing has been done to resolve it, and your deadline
has gone by, now would like to know what is the next false commitment you are
going to give,

why is that you people do like this

DEAR SIR,
this is srinivasan and my no [protected] which i am using for the past 8
years, from the last 15 -20 days i am unable to call the customer care from my
no be it by dialing 198 or even 121, the call gets disconnected with an
automated message telling that dial *121#, then i tried calling from other
numbers [protected] and [protected] once i was connected and when i told them
about the complaint thats it again i am not able to reach the customer care
from those nos also, actually i had complained that my plan has been changed
from per minute to per second without me opting for the plan change, from where
am i supposed to get the relevant information, really fed up with the
services offered by you.

HI,

I have a corporate post paid connection with no [protected].
At the Airtel office on Mosque Road ,Bangalore I had asked the Airtel representative to get the GPRS Rs.98 plan activated for this number.

The guy instead activated the Rs 100 3G plan by mistake. The next day the unbilled amount became Rs 330 from Rs 29,Without even using the internet service. I went to the Airtel office and found out that he had done a mistake and asked them to stop 3G and activate the GPRS Rs 98 plan with the 2GB free PLAN.I thought it was because of the 3G plan.

But every day the unbilled amount is increasing exponentially without any reason or use of the internet. It is surprising to see that this is happening after having 2GB free. There is no reason to be charged. It is impossible to have such amounts added to my bill every day. Especially knowing that it only includes phone usage and does not include the bill plan ,monthly rental or other charges. There is a mistake happening at your end.

This is the list o[censored]nbilled amount messages I am getting:
Rs 20.9
Rs 29.0 –Before activation amount.
Rs 300.0- Next day after activation.
Rs 505.0
Rs 602.0
Rs 624.0
Rs 930.7 -on 29th May.
Rs 1213.3 –on 30 th May ,2011.

I have been constantly calling 121 and discussing this issue. They have showed their inability to resolve this issue .They say that it is not possible to resolve this issue until the bill is generated on 21st June 2011.
My question is that if I wait till the bill is generated and the amount shoots up to 10’s of thousands. What I am supposed to do?
I hope somebody will take owner ship of this issue and resolve this quickly.
Kindly get back to me as soon as possible on this.

Hello,

This is regarding my Airtel landline#[protected]. I was using this number in Mohali- Punjab. I called up Airtel on 20th April to close my account as I was moving to Bangalore. I was told by the customer care rep that he was going to transfer my call to the Closure department. However I was transferred to the Retention department, where the representative gave me an option to migrate my plan and connection to Bangalore. I carried my equipments along with me to Bangalore. No one has ever contacted me till date regarding this. In fact I contacted Airtel when I reached Bangalore. Initially your phone IVR system won’t even recognize my number. Somehow I contacted an Airtel representative on the phone. He told me that he didn’t have access to my account details as I had reached Karnataka Airtel customer care. He told me to call on 0172 (STD code[protected]airtel number) to reach Punjab Customer care. Whenever when I dialed this number it always said “Number is invalid”. Finally today I called up Airtel again ([protected]) (Call timings: 1:11 AM - 1:18 AM, May 29, 2011). I Punched in my phone number with the STD code and AGAIN I reached Airtel customer care in KARNATAKA (So why did I punch in my STD code?). I spoke with Sadiq and got the same answer. NO ONE CAN HELP ME.

Now I am in a situation where I cannot contact the Punjab customer care and I am getting billed unnecessarily. I am extremely frustrated due to this reason. The support I am receiving from Airtel is pathetic. No one is in a position to help me. Airtel has FAILED its commitment of call back and FAILED OWNERSHIP. People just promise things and never get back. Is it the duty of customers to keep calling up to follow up on their issues or would Airtel ever call the customers back as promised to help/serve them?

I don’t even have a bit of faith left in Airtel that you guys will reply to this mail of mine or would contact me. I have been using Airtel since 2004 and have been a loyal customer. You people know very well how to loose your customers.

I don’t know what would be the next plan of action for me, however you have disappointed me to the core. Thanks for NOT providing me the support. Oh yes, by any chance, in case you decide to contact me, I can be reached on my number registered with you i.e.[protected] and also on my new Bangalore number which happens to be another AIRTEL[protected]. I don’t know how can you compensate for this whole pain and frustration I have gone through because of your internal processes and failure to follow up, but you must compensate for it.

Thanks and Regards

I bought an Airtel World Calling card for Rs 500 from Chennai airport on 27th May 2011.
Yesterday 28th May, from USA - I tried to make calls to India, but could not. As per the instructions, I dialed the US access number[protected] and I am getting a message to enter the card number and a PIN. But I don't see any PIN number mentioned anywhere in the card/instructions. I tried entering the card number (which we see after scratching the covered portion) but does not work. It takes me to the MCI operator and the person says this card does not work here and I have to get back to where I bought the originally from.

I don't see any other customer care number to call from here in US.

From a reputed organization like Airtel - I never expected a product like this! I am very unhappy. I don't know, how to get back my Rs 500 which I paid for this card....

I have an airtel prepaid connection no. [protected] of rajasthan.I had sent a request for number portability to Vodafone. I received several calls from airtel customer care and every time I confirmed that I want the number portability but everytime they kept asking silly questions as to why i want it.
As a subscriber its my personal choice to choose the service provider and why should a customer be answering such silly questions.
It has been almost a month but number has not yet been shifted to vodafone.
It is nothing but sheer harassment of customer.
I once again request Airtel through consumer complaint to transfer my no. to Vodafone.

Dear Sir,

This is regarding an issue with Airtel and their services. On 26th April I have requested Airtel to convert my pre paid SIM to postpaid connection and they agreed for that. They took 300RS deposit and gave a new SIM and said within 3 Days my post paid services will get activated. But this doesn't happen and after so many follow-ups after more than 15 Days they said my request is been declined. When I requested for refund they said I will not get refund or I will get it after 90 days. They always use abusive and offensive language in Airtel Ghatkopar east relationship center. Finally I have escalated the issue to Airtel Nodal officer but not got satisfactory response then I have escalated the issue to Airtel Appellate officer and send more than 15 emails but not got any proper response from them too.
It’s not about 300 rupees it’s all about services and the kind of language used by their relationship center people. I would request you to help me so in future any other consumer should not face such issue.

Thanks
My case number with Airtel is BAL|[protected]|[protected]. Please help here

My name is Preethy Iyer and I am a prepaid subsriber with Airtel Mobile Service
Provider company. (number: [protected])

This is regarding the service provider changing my internet plan without any intimation whatsoever. Here is a chain of events:

I have been subscribing to the Mobile Office internet pack of airtel, that entitles me to 2 GB of free internet usage per month, at a charge of Rs 98 per month.

1. Last night, before I slept, at around 11:30 p.m., the balance in my cell was around Rs. 100. (last call made around 9:15, last message sent around 9:45 p.m.) I finished checking my mails, and the last time I checked before i went to sleep, I had around 1600 MB o[censored]sage still remaining in my account, and the pack was up for renewal tomorrow (i.e. the last day for usage was today, 29th May 2011)

2. Today morning, I had a couple of sms's (in coming) and an incoming call at around 9:30. but when I check my balance it is down to Rs. 30. And then I realised, for every incoming meesage/call, it was deducting money

3. I called the Customer Care number (121, ext: 3191), at around 10:45a.m., which announced that it would charge Rs 0.50 for the call. My call got disconnected twice, with a message" your account balance is insufficient to continue this call"

4. I spoke to the customer care person again, at around 11:15 a.mwho, this time, escalated to their supervisor, Vidya (i didnt get the last name). When I discussed with her, she says that my 1600 MB of data usage had all been used up by 11:45 p.m.!! And now, i was being charged for internet usage! And that is why more than Rs. 60 was deducted.

When i can barely use 400MB in an entire month, there is NO way i can use up 1600 MB in 5 hours! and if my internet log is checked, you'll see that there was no download of bulk files etc. Normal emails were being downloaded.

I asked her to book a complaint: (number: [protected]) because I don't believe this. As soon as asked her to lodge a complaint, pat comes 4 messages, saying I have subscribed to the "Mobile Office zero rental pack" WHEN I CLEARLY HADN'T!

I have attached a snapshot of the messages, that all arrived at 11:34 a.m. for your references.

But the supervisor mentioned that she would be sending details of the complaint through SMS, that has not yet come.

This just goes to show, they've done some hanky-panky with the system, and now are trying to cover up.

This is plain, in-your-face, daylight robbery!!!

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have a connection of AIRTEL (moble service operator) number is [protected] and i use internet pack of Rs.200 for 250 MB. which i have used 5 days only(29 march 2011 to 3 april 2011), for that 5 days i should be charged rs. 32 and data will be used in 5 days is 40 MB. But i have charged Rs.1488 in my april bill(26 march 2011 to 25 april 2011) and I have also complaint for the same several time, but of no vail.

Please look into the matter and revert as early as possible.


Thanks & Regards

Hi,
This is Praharsh Gupta from Barabanki ( Uttar Pradesh).
I have an Airtel digital TV connection from approx 18 months ,and facing issues with Airtel digital TV from last 6 months.
Here is a error code coming B001 , which comes often in this connection.
Last month we have called a service engineer for the issue and paid 100 rs for the same.
Again this month same issue has come 5-6 times with error code B001 and gets ok automatically.
Do we really need to ask a service engineer for this type of issue everyday and pay 100 rs in month as a extra monthly charge??
We are not getting any response on mail or call from Airtel Digital TV customer care!
Please do the needful!


Rgds.
