Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hello Sir/Madam,
I have taken the airtel connection with the plan, Bill Plan Charge Future Value 299 Plan. As per this plan for the first month 1GB data GPRS is free. This connection was activated on 23/04/2011. But with in 2 days on 25/04/2011 the unbilled amount reached more than Rs.2200 due to the GPRS. My mobile is an iphone and some applications will connect GPRS without my knowledge. So on 26/04/2011 my outgoing was disconnected reasoning I have crossed my credit limit and when I contacted customer care they said I have to pay Rs.800 to reactivate my outgoing. So I paid it on 26/04/2011 Rs.800 to activate. Then I contacted to customer care to deactivate GPRS on 26/04/2011 since I couldn’t track the usage of GPRS. Customer care people deactivated GPRS without informing that if I deactivate in middle then it would be prorate basis and they didn’t have share any information mentioning we can give clear picture after the bill is generated. But now the bill is generated and the total amount comes to Rs.1436.35. Now I wanted a waiver for the GPRS amount for which as per my plan of 1 GB usage and not to burden the customers with wrong commitments. I have attached the bill plan details. Please do the needful.

We submit complain about not working set top box till[protected]. No action taken by company for repairing it.I call in service center of varanasi airtel company and many times of airtel engineer but no action taken by them.I daily call in service center not in one time several time but they say - Mam! today i haven't any engineer we send engineer tomorrow. But tomorrow is never come.I submit several times complain but in result no action taken by them. Airtel company consumer service is very bad......

The SIM is alerted to me (Sanghamitra Swain) for life time and it was valid 20 years from date of purchase. Since that day onwards I am using same number and mentioned in my CVs, Friends for meeting and offical purpose. Now the same SIM was alerted to some one by the Airtel Company. I am not confirm weather the Company alert that one to some body or the person using my SIM? Customer care says we will not say the name of the owner of [protected]. How come it is possible? I am the owner of this SIM without my permission or any written document how they alert my Life time SIM to other person. Its the right of the Life time SIM user that the SIM should be belong to the owner upto 20 Years. Only after 20 Years the owner may want to continue the same number ,If only the owner don’t wont to continue the number the company has right to reprocess (recycled) the SIM and alert to other person. But in my case the SIM was valid till 2015. Before 2015 how the company dare to reprocess (recycled) the SIM and alerted to other person. Its mean the person has no value before the company.

This is regarding my Airtel broadband connection with Tel no: [protected](Bangalore). A connection registered in the name of my wife Arathi Prabhu.

Just want highlight to what an extent representatives of Airtel can stoop down to.

We stopped using this connection by the end of 2010 after we received a bill which was 3times more than our regular usage. The bill had a charge of 1300/- odd amount which I disputed and had multiple compliants to a pathetic airtel customer care which was never resolved. In the mean time I started receiving multiple calls from airtel asking us to make the payment and all the calls did have a similar pattren would start by they asking to make the payment and I would say that there was a charge which was disputed and the minute that was resolved I would make the payment.

Disgusted by this ordeal requested airtel to discconect the connection for which they said that untill and unless the payment is made it cannot be cancelled.
Then during mid of February a representative of Airtel came by saying that he would need to take the instrument and the modem for which did provide a acknowledgement. After which there was no other calls from any of the airtel representatives.

All of a sudden on the 11th of May 2011 I received a call from Rajeev Singh identifying himself as a section chief at a court in Delhi and they had sent 3 summons which we never received and asked us to be there in the Delhi court in 30 mins. If not there would be a "Non Bailable warrant" issued against my wife's name and there would be a fine of 53,000 to be paid when asked what was the call about he directed me to CK Oberoi who was an advocate at the court. He said that there were 3 summons that were sent (which I was not aware of) and also then said that this was regarding our airtel broadband connection payment which was due. He said that best way is a out of court settlement. He sugessted that we make the outstanding payment in the next 30 mins and provide him with the receipt number so that he could withdraw the case against my wife.

By this time I was completely shaken by this, went out immediately and made a payment at one of the Airtel centers for the amount due and called both these gentlemen back and provided the receipt number to which they said that there was nothing to worry now and they would take care of things.

One thing that suprised me was how did I miss those 3 summons; we live an apartment where there is a 24X7 security and they would not miss thrice. Out of sheer curiousity I just googled CK oberoi and airtel and walla! the story unfolded.
There were a whole set of people who had gone through the same experience.

I am sure airtel's SPINELESS customer service team will not resolve this. I am so happy that I am not associated with airtel anymore.

Best,
Nagaraj

Please mail me.
yours faithfully.

2-Mar-11 I had gone out of the country and when I came back in Jan 2011, I
requested for retention of the same number I had earlier in 2009. It took
several weeks to get my old number back ([protected]). Before going abroad, the
connection was in my employer¿s name (Wipro Technologies) but now the
connection is in my name after the reactivation.
The connection I got reactivated already had `Airtel Live' feature already activated
with it. I was not aware about this feature nor about the charges associated
with this feature. The handset I had initially was a basic one without any
advanced features so it did not matter to me that this feature activated.

19-Mar-11 I purchased a smart phone around March 19th 2011. With the help from
the dealer, I got GPRS enabled for my handset. I was told it would be a Rs 98
plan. But still there were some settings which had not been done w.r.t
MobileOffice on the handset. So whenever I tried to access internet, the
access was actually happening through `Airtel Live feature that had been
already been activated in my connection.

19-Mar-11 At that point I was not really aware about various plans and their
variations available with Airtel regarding internet access.


25-Mar-11 As usual I was getting many SMS from customer care about the
approximate unbilled usage. I immediately noticed that the outstanding balance
was increasing by hundreds of rupees on a daily basis. I contacted the customer service on 25th and expressed my concerns.I was told till the bill is generated, they
will be not able to find out why I was getting these SMSs on the heavy bill
amount.

29-Mar-11 I was still getting SMSs on a daily basis with hundreds of rupees increase in the billed amount. I again got really concerned and contacted Airtel Customer support on 29th March and expressed my concerns. They told me to wait till the bill gets generated on 19th of April,
which was 20 days later. They have recorded in their system about this conversation.


9-Apr-11 With help from one of my friends I came to know how to set up the Mobile Office feature properly installed my equipment around 2nd week of April by contacting the customer service.Even after this, Airtel Live feature was still active on my handset.

19-Apr-11 I have got a bill of 3360.32 for the month of March-April 2011

26-Apr-11 I spoke to the customer service and explained my situation.
Customer Service rep told me that I have to pay the entire amount as I
had actually used internet through 'Airtel Live' via WAP_ALL (Web Application Protocol through Airtel Live Login) gateway. I got the Airtel Live feature inactivated from my phone.

27-Apr-11 I escalated the issue to the Nodal officer and Apellate officer at Airtel as per the advice from Customer Service

7-May-11 Apellate office responded back telling that "We wish to inform you that the 2 GB GPRS Free @20KB/30Ps With Rental Rs 98 is active on your Airtel mobile effective 26/03/2011.

As per the above Mobile Internet pack activated applications has to be browsed through Mobile Office only.

We would like to inform you that based on your complaint, we have investigated the possibility of the same. Post the investigation we have found that browsing was done through WAP_ALL (Web Application Protocol through Airtel Live Login) gateway. The GPRS plan offers will not be applicable for browsing through Airtel Live. Hence we would like to inform you that the charges are valid.

There is an out standing amount of Rs. 3283.19/- we request you to make the payment at the earliest."
I had specifically called twice to find out why my unbilled amount was increasing by hundreds of rupeees every day. The customer service were not able to give me proper reasons and failed to advice that internet browsing was not happening through GPRS because Mobile Office settings were incorrect.
They failed to tell me that Airtel Live charges through WAP_ALL gateway was hundreds of rupees for every access unlike 98 Rs for GPRS.

Please advice on my next steps.

Hi team,

I am not sure what really did with Airtel. Whenevr I got up my balance get deducted. Today it was RS. 215.

In the afternoon, I raised this issue and your agent has confimed me that my balance will be returned as i did nt activate any services ( Req # [protected] ).

At 6 PM today, I called customer care to check the status..i got funniest answer stating..u have been charged because you were surffing through airtel gprs. Where as I still have same old MO settings. Your CC agent told me that GPRS recharge is for only download and nt for surffing..... Amazing and shocked. So he asked to recharge it again and even asked me to take MO settings.

Guys...please educate ur team or me. If after every recharge I will have to confirm settings then there is some issue from ur side.

Please advice me what to do now?

I live in South Bangalore and have been facing regular drops in my connection for the past 6 months. Every time I place a complaint, an executive comes and tells me the same things that there is some copper issue in the line that is coming in to my building and would be taken care of by changing the copper cable. For the past 6 months they have been changing copper (or so they tell me) every time I make a complaint. I must have at least 15 Service Request numbers with me and still the same happens every alternate week! What kind of a joke is this? I am paying Rs1200 every month for this crap and I am helpless as I can't afford not being connected even a single day in order to switch to another provider.

Airtel DSL in my area has to be the most terrible broadband connection I have every experienced. Shame on you.

Hi,

I would like to file a complaint against Airtel as despite of repeated calls at customer care, I'm not provided with specific deadline to resolve issue. From 8th May, I'm unable to send fresh sms to any number. Whenever I compose a sms it instantly goes in the outbox, showing "resend" for a very long time. And this is happening with all the numbers I would like to sms.

But whenever I reply to any particular sms, it goes instantly without showing "Resend" option. I raised my complaint on 8th May itself and I was informed that my problem will be resolved and I'll get a call on 11th May. But to my surprise they closed my complaint stating it is resolved, neither my problem was resolved nor I got any confirmation call.

And as per the latest status they say they have again opened my complaint but aren't providing me the deadline. Can you please look into this and guide me accordingly. I even got my handset checked and they say if its the problem of the handset not a single sms should go but replies are going. My handset is Nokia E-7.

Hi,

I am one of you customers having a relationship with Airtel for over 11 yrs now. Currently, I have a compliant for my broadband connection with number[protected]. Overall the journey so far was good; however, I am really upset with the rude behavior by one of your “Managers” named Gaurav. While I was trying to explain him the issue and having a resolution he was rude and mis-behaved stating I can proceed to disconnect my broadband services. IS THIS THE CUSTOMER CERNTRICNESS at Airtel for their customers?

Back-ground: About two months ago I had requested an upgrade of my Broadband plan from Rs. 899/- to Rs. 1099/- looking at some of the ads in the newspaper and receiving calls from Airtel to mention about the benefits of this plan. I was made to understand that while I upgrade my bill plan to 1099, not only I will have broadband benefits I will also have 300 calls free per month.

I had my previous bill (last month) as per my expectations i.e. Rs. 1099 + taxes coming with a total of Rs. 1212/-. I made a call to your call center yesterday i.e. 10th May’11, after looking at the inflated bill that I received yesterday. It has a charge of Rs. 300, which I never requested for. Since systems were not working yesterday, the agent mentioned I would get a call from them within two hours or so- which never happened.

As I did not receive the call yesterday, I again made a call today i.e. 11th May’11 at 8:45am. I spoke to one of your call center agents at 198 and she was very courteous and realized the issue and guess the error from Airtel. She asked me to hold and she would transfer the line to her manager. While I was holding for 7 mins, I had a word with Gaurav. He understood the issue, however was very RUDE in behavior and adamant that this is the BILL PLAN OFFERED BY AIRTEL – you as a customer do not have a choice. You will have to live with it as I don’t have much option. He also mentioned, if you don’t want – disconnect your connection and he was transferring the call further to relevant department while it got disconnected.

ISSUES:
• Why I would pay for something I never requested for. I agreed for an upgrade of 899 to 1099 with an understanding that I will have a bill of about 1200/- per month. The bill I have received is about 30% inflated (Rs. 1543/-), which I NEVER requested for
• How can airtel force upon a plan to customer, without his/ her consent
• It was a wrong selling by Airtel staff and now customer is being unnecessary harassed to pay more for a plan that is not my choice
• RUDE and INAPPROPRIATE behavior from Airtel staff is UNACCEPTABLE to me. I want a written apology from Gaurav on this.

Let me know if this would need me to proceed for disconnection of my broad band services?

Looking forward to your support and action on immediate basis.

DEACTIVATE UNSOLICITED 54321 SMS DAILY PRAYER and DEVOTIONAL PICTURES
TO MY MOBILE [protected]

AND STOP DEDUCTING RS.1/- PER MESSAGE FORTHWITH
FAILING WHICH I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION EXCEPT TO
SEEK REMEDY UNDER CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT

I have an Airtel Prepaid sim which am using currently. but for past one week my outgoing calls and messages are being suspended for non submission of proof whereas i had already submitted it wen i got the connection. this is done without any notification.

And i was not able to contact any of the customer care representative. The 121 toll free number doesn't reach to the customer care representative and 198 toll free number doesnt go from my number since outgoing is blocked.

I again submitted the proof in nearest Airtel outlet and they said they will solve the problem within 48hrs.But am sure that this problem wont be solved even within 48hrs because they dint here the problem which i was about to explain them. when i went to the office they asked me to fill the new airtel form and submit it along with photo and proof.
