Airtel Complaints & Reviews

My Airtel DTH CustID:[protected] , This is regarding my complaint on poor signal quality.

After many calls your technician came to my house and did the satellite migration and I have paid the amount for that. After that I'm not getting good signal on all channels & Poor HD channel Clarity on MOVIES NOW, DISCOVERY HD, NGC HD.

The signal strength and signal quality is only 60%. I have asked the same thing and your technician told me in HD box we can get maximum 60% signal. Bcz of this even for small rain also the Signal is going n showing 'NO SIGNAL' Message.

Please confirm is the Airtel DTH HD STB gives only 60% signal. If NO Send me your executive immediately to improve the singal strength and quality.

This is final communication to remimnd you about my problem.If not resolved I will throuhout this Airtel Dish in drinage.

Sir,
i have Airtel prepaid connection i.e. [protected] with 1.00 paisa /second tarrif plan. but airtel activated my plan to 60 paise / minut after when i have recharged Rs.101.i have contacted airtel customer care executivce regrding this problem.I was say (by Airtel Customer executive) that if you are recharged Rs.28/- then your tarrif plan will be changed to 1 paisa / second. i have recharged Rs. 28/- on 19.05.11 at 13.31 hrs. Then some call goes to 1.00 paisa tarrif but after then 60 paisa tarrif activated.But now, customer care service closed by airtel when i have informed to Airtel executives this problem.

therefore, Rs. 28.00 must be refund with 1.00 paisa/second tarrif and settled all amount which was wrongly deducted second plan.

Sir,
I am ifti using airtel broadband connection (Number:[protected] jan 2011. My line was dead from 27th of mar’11 to 18th may 2011 due to some fault in cable. I registered a lot of complaints to 121 by call and by, when airtel replaced my cable i request them to waive off the amount during non working period (27-mar ~18 may 2011), but airtel disconnect the line on 19 may stating that i have to pay all the amount. Because they do not have any complaint registered on 27 mar-2011. On 27th mar i complaint for not accessing airtel website not for broadband issue.
I want to know if i have not registred any complaint on may 27 then how airtel replaced my modem on 29 may 2011. But problem still persist.
When i complaints to airtel for not working of broadband by mail they replied me as below “

Since 26.2.2011 i've sent several complaints to Airtel at their e-mail addresses regarding non-functioning of my broadband connection. When their only response was to send acknowledgment mails i informed them of my intention not to pay the fixed charges for the broadband since i was not using it. Later i even informed them of my desire to surrender the connection.

On Sunday, the 21st of May 2011, Shri Rohit Sharma, Mobile No. [protected], an Airtel representative called me up to request me for payment. When i refused to pay till the broadband connection was repaired, he took me on telecon with Shri Sunil of Customer Services, Mobile No. [protected], who assured me that my complaint would be resolved as soon as i paid up and my connection was restored. i obliged by paying up the same day in cash.

Today is 26th of May, 5 days from that Sunday, and no technician has arrived till now for looking into the complaint.

I had never thought that a company like Airtel could be so indifferent to customer complaints.

Dear sir/Ma'am,

I was having an airtel broadband connection with no [protected] in the name of dhaval kishor gore, address : b-18, 5th floor, kumar prangan, karvenager, pune : 411 052. I had a yearly plan for broadband connection. I had made a yearly payment to bharti airtel limited vide dated 15/2/2010. I DID not want to continue with the services and as such I had put the cancellation request on 28/1/2011. I registered another request on 8/2/2011. First request was not considered and 2nd request was confirmed in a month's time. Customer care personnel confirmed the cancellation on phone and deactivation procedure was completed and the connection with above number has been cancelled. In spite of this, I am getting bills for the airtel broadband and calls from airtel regarding the payment of bills. Today I received a call from the lawyer that legal procedure against the collection has been started. I am unnecessarily getting harassed and suffering from the peace of mind.

Sub: HARASSMENT BY AIRTEL TO CONUMER NO.[protected]
NUMEROUS TIMES SUBMITTED DOCUMENTS THAT MY POSTAL ADDRESS IS DEPARTEMENT OF POSTS AS POSTAL ASSISTANT OF HOSHIARPUR AND PRESENTLY WORKING AT BANGA ROAD, PHAGWARA POST OFFICE.

Sir,

I, Mrs. Manjit Kaur, Govt. Post office, Banga Road, Near Police Station, Phagwara-144401 (Pb) had corporate Connection No.[protected]. The said connection had been purchased from the agent on door to door visit. As per the agent’s requirement I furnished all the required documents as per the guidelines of Airtel. As per my purchase in Nov 2010 the said connection got activated in the end of Nov 2010. Then the tale of harassment within a week started. I was told to submit the Verification documents once again. Which I submitted as per customer care executive directions to the Hargobind Nagar, Phagwara’s Airtel Gallery. The said documents furnished. But my connection could not be activated. On continuous harassment by not getting the connection activated I keep on waiting but again the verification had been done by the person from Jalandhar. When I talked to the Customer Care at Airtel I was told that this number has been disconnected, so I had been debarred to receive and make calls from that number within seven days of activation. Again I visited the office of Airtel at Hargobind Nagar and talked to the customer care through the representative of that office that said number has not been activated since long so get it disconnected permanently. The Customer Care Executive directed the concerned official to send the Request.

On 18th Jan 2011 the request for Permanent Disconnection was sent by Airtel Gallery of Hargobind Nagar, Phagwara. Due to the harassment and continuous problem I made several SMS to permanently disconnect my number.

I regret to inform you that due to continuous harassment I got connection of from IDEA No.[protected]. With continuous harassment when I shifted to IDEA the Airtel activated my number though I had given request to Disconnect permanently.

Now Airtel is demanding the charges from me and keep on sending Bill and I received the said Bill, when I am not availing the said connection then the bill raised by the company is WRONG.

It is requested to waive the bill immediate affect and kindly permanently close my account for God sake. When the company has not restored the number after my so many requests then why now I am being harassed to pay the Wrongly raised bills.

Now I have in my possession two Mobile connection Nos.[protected] and[protected] and both are in working conditions so kindly don’t harass me unnecessarily by sending wrongly raised bills.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

Dear Airtel Management,

Myself is Mr. K Nagaraj Adiga, who is having an airtel broadband connection ([protected]) Since last One Month I am trying to Lock my landline to restrict all out going calls, but it is not happening. I have tried all the proceedure told by your customer care executives , but it is not working . I have also asked for the assistance of your local executive, which they told they are not coming to our place to help us.

I am fed up of your services, I 3 offices, one at UDUPI, another at Bangalore, I have taken airtel BB for Bangalore office also[protected]. But I wont do this mistake for UDUPI, I will go for some other service provider.

Now kindly tell me how many months/ days/ hours it will take to solve my problem?

AIRTEL broadband bill is not appropriate.

I have a 2MBPS broadband connection with number 42040019 , with Rs 1000 rental.
This is an attempt to let you know the issues that we are facing in customer care.
On march , the internet didn’t’ work for half a month, I raised a complained and followed up for straight 10 days .
The complaint I logged, is closed the next day, without fixing the issue. I went to Indiranagar office next day to reopen it, which they promised me have reopened.

I followed up that complained for next 10 days.

Now when in April I got the bill for full month, however internet didn’t worked from half a month in march, I raised a complained for prorated bill generation, and only Rs 90 is deducted, as they say the system shows the complained is resolved in 2 days.

This is gross cheating from airtel part or indiranagar sub branch is cheating there superior. In any case customer is at loss, along with airtel.
The complaint numbers are 46109130.( 9 th May) and 44941022

.

Respected Sir/Mam,

I have taken a sim card of airtel and my number is
[protected]


still it shows me CHECK OPERATOR SERVICE...
pls advice me what to do

kindly do the needful...because it is necessary for me have this connection live...
pls help me.

dear sir

last year i.e. on 14th November,2010, i was using GPRS services on my mobile phone and while checking reservation status on www.indianrail.gov.in (hardly a page of 100-200Kb) i was charged over 60 rupees. When i registered repeated complaints, i was told by the officials that it was being charged for the net surfing only and denied refund of the above mentioned amount. Later after some days i received a message that my subscription of Internet(costing about Rs.60) is about to end. Then i realised that the money which was deducted from my account in november was this amount of which i was unaware and not told about.

Recently today (25th May 2011) i received a message wishing me thanks for subscribing to Airtel TV pack and Rs.75 were deducted from my account without confirming the activation. When i called airtel complaint toll free no. 198 then they told me as i was on roaming thus they cannot entertain my request. They further asked me to call on a certain number in bihar to get my solution(on which i was to be charged at Rs.1.50/min to tell them their fault). Let mention that currently i have Rs. 0.86 left in my account and thus unable to call on this number.

My situations are:
1) in first situation i had not activated the internet connection but charged for it, in place of the charging it on per kb basis.
2) No request for activating the Internet TV was given but it was activated.
3) Why a person in need of help is directed to a phone number that charges his pockets for telling the fault of the operators

I would like the Consumer forum to help me and get me my balance refunded.
I will be highly obliged

my customer id is [protected] i have problem with airtel dth set top box from 10.05.2011. regular complaints have been made and tll today 26.05.2011. They are also asking for 350 rs to be submitted to change my set top box. everyday there customer executive is saying that your problem will be resolved today but till now nothing has been done when we ask for the no. of higher officials they are telling it's against the policy. my mobile no. is [protected]

Hi,
Im a Airtel Mobile subscriber for the past 6 years. Recently I got a 3G activation done by airtel when i Just called for enquiry, They pushed me into getting a 100 Rs plan for 100 MB, I'm using GPRS for the past 3 years and my usage have never crossed 100 MB, I was using it for a while and got to know from my friends that the the 3g Billing is not structured and asked me stop using 3G from airtel to avoid any trouble. Within three days of getting alerted by my friends, I get a SMS from airtel saying that my usage has exceeded the limit and my current usage is for Rs 6637, I was shocked and called Airtel CC right away. When enquired about the same the agent on call told me that my usage as on that date is 229 MB and I would not be getting bill about 6000+, and the alert I received was without discounts and my bill would be close to[protected], I got shocked and asked her to disable the 3G service right away, and she did the same. Now I get a bill from airtel on 9th of June saying that I have to make a payment of whopping Rs 7882. It said the bill that total usage time is 80 mins, when I called CC they said that its for the usage of 510 MB, (Which is untrue and ridiculous). Now i sure that i could not use it for 512 meg in 8 days approx. This is insane that Airtel is trying to make joke out of their users. I have decided not to pay this bill, and when calling CC with respect to this problem all they do is say that they will transfer my call to Billing dept, which never happened, Once I waited even for 45 mins to get to and person from billing which is insane I lost my trust in airtel and They are one foolish company who think they can play with people's money initiating a new service.

If airtel if going to disconnect my number or gonna harass me for payment, I would ensure that I take it to the top. And also going write and article about the same issue in India Today.

I had requested for change of package on sunday 22nd may 2011. I changed my package to "A la carta pack" using airtel dth website. After request submission I got message it will be changed within 24 hours, but it was not changed. So I called customer care and they told me they will change it. The service request number was 8259339. Next day I got SMS that my issue has been fixed. I checked and I found only free to Air channels are visible ( ie DD channels). I called again customer care and told them I don't see any of the channel I selected in "A la carta pack" they told me they can't solve my problem and directed me to send an email about the issue to [protected]@airtel.in.

I sent email three emails in two days but there was no response. I'm getting blank calls from [protected] which I pick up and no one speaks.

Today 25th May 2011, time 1:30 PM and still i have not received any message or call to resolve the issue.

Please try to resolve my problem.

Sir/Madam,

With great regret I inform you that my Airtel Phone No.[protected] is not working and call forwarding (cross-connection) is activated in my phone number for the last few days (from 05/05/2011).

There is "NO Dial Tone" also "NO response from your 'Customer Care Help Line while I call from my other telephone',. Giving complaints Nos. and Serevice Request numbers/Date details :
