Airtel Complaints & Reviews

My Airtel Mobile Number [protected] registration is failed and at present i m travel from calcutta to amdavad.it is impossible to approach neraby airtel centre.so it is requested to continue my service for 3 day then after i will contact nearby centre....

Iam Sahul ,one your customer having Airtel connection last 3yrs with #[protected].Out going servie was barred due to delay in bill payment.I payed the bill on 27th April 2011 post which my Out going was not activated till now.

Background:
Since mobile was not activated till 30th April, I visited airtel showroom at Adyar on 30th April .I met satish from help desk and requested him to lodge a complaint and provide complaint number he was not ready to do so.later he told me that we will replace the SIM card but need documents + 25Rs and Since Iam able to send and receive SMS and receiving coming calls then why new SIM card is required he siad that he suspected SIM card issue then I replied then why I need to prvovide the documents since service was barred by airtel and was not reactivciated.(Mobile status shows service unavailable till now).

I was given Nithayananad mobile # for escalation whom I contacted and found no response called him 6 times on 30th April he didn't pick the line.Finally asked Sathish to send a email on this issue.(please refer to tailed email)

on May 2nd I sent below email and called up nodal and Appellete officer from [protected] around 2Pm approximatly no one picked up the line.I received acknowledgement for my email from 121.

Later on 4th may I received call from [protected] around 1:46PM who stated that I need to change the SIM card, I replied I will not share any documents since its not my fault then I was told to collect the SIM card with out any document.

Current Status:

I went to Adyar Aitel showroom at 7:50PM , met Sathish and asked him for the SIm card who replied that he has not received any communication and will not be able to provide SIM card without document.
Not sure why I was told to collect and same was not communicated to Airtel.
then I seeked help from next level met Nithyananda who in turn gave the same message, I then contacted Anitha, Showroom manager spoke to her breifed the issue who's line got disconnected and I received message service was unavailable.Unfortunatly she did not have coutesy to call me back I was in the showroom for 1hr 10mins.
I was made to wait by Nithyananda who mentioned that he has sent an SMS to Anitha showroom manager and waiting for reponse.
I requested him to go to next level since I cannot wait for so long
Nithayananda contacted Vijayakumar and briefed the issue who in turn guided him to contact Chandramouli
Nithayananda contacted Chandramouli then gave the mobile to me for to share the concern.I shared all the details whats written above, he interrupted me and I was worried badly that even he was not able to listen the challenge I went through all the while.
chandramouli told me that he cannot provide any SIM card with out document and when I asked him then why I was asked to collect the SIM card from Airtel with out document he had no answer.
I told him that I much concerned that all the other customer also will be impacted with this kind of service who replied me not to worry about that.
Finally I was also told to reach out to CEO of Airtel for getting the card without document.I know Iam a common man but it doesn't mean I need to go through all these .

Here are my concern
Why customer relationship center do not provide complaint # to the customer ?
why CRC do not have help desk queuing sysytem whixh was there before ?
Why responsoble person like Nithyananada did not respond for 6 calls from me and don't have courtesy to call me when he is available ?
Why I need to provide my document when the service was barred and Airtel was unable to restore ?
How did airtel diagnosis this as SIM card issue when SMS incoming / outgoing and Voice incoming is working fine ?
Why I did not get any reply from Anitha for the email send by Sathish on this issue ?
Why I was instructed to collect SIM card without document ? why the same was not communicated to CRC ?
Why Showroom manager did not have coutesy to call me back after the line was disconnected ?
Why I was made to wait for an hour just to reply back the same answer ?
why issue was closed in the system as resolved and who confirmed issue is resolved.?
I truly regret iam your customer for last 3 yrs in chennai and 7 yrs in Mumbai , I also feel bad that I gave good feedback about airtel last 2 yrs.
I really don't feel like using Airtel any more but Iam talking time to send this email is to make you realize about the service your offering to your Customer.

Thank you.......

Sahul Hameed

Dear Mr. Sunil,

I've faced lots of harrasment at Airtel Relationship Centre,Galleria at Gurgaon. All of executive are absolutely phathatic,incompetent and uneducated. I visited the centre with all the required documents for ownership conversion but even then he was saying that documents are incomplete and come again with the documents as said that Vendor Stamp is missing from lease agreement. When I asked what is vendor stamp and why are you looking for? He started cracking jokes at me in front of numerous people but still didn't give an answer. I was completly frustrated as my 2hrs worth of efforts just wasted with useless people.Unfortunately when I said that am going to complai about the centre, he look that very lightly and challenged me to go anywhere. Not sure where should I go and whom to escalate???

Completely GOONDARAJ........ I literally want to throw my airtel connection...

Hi,

I am a Airtel prepaid customer.

Airtel has sent a message from no: 59830 saying: "Thanks for choosing Radio Mirchi. You have been charged Rs 10/7 days. Call 59830 to listen Radio Mirchi for 100 free mins. To stop service, call 59830800." Does it mean Rs 10 will be deducted every day?

Airtel is sending SMS from AK 55678, 58888084, AD - Pooja (from other no's also).

Airtel is also sending other adult SMS even without me subscribing to such content.

I am also getting calls from unwanted numbers which when picked are automatic calls from numbers like: [protected], [protected], [protected], [protected], [protected], [protected] and many other numbers.

Kindly un-subscribe my no. for the above mentioned kind of messages & incoming calls.

My contact no. is [protected].

Regards.

Hi,
I subscribed the HD channels package from Airtel Digital TV. They say the it has the Dolby Digital plus Sound in these channels.

When I subscribed the HD channels there was no Dolby Sound in these channels and also there is a distorted sound. When I raise this with the customer care they send some incapable technical person who don't understands the problem and close the requests without solving the problem.

My problem still persists.

Thanks.

PM Digital TV escalation
P Please do not print this e-mail
unless it is absolutely necessary P









Hi,

I have some escalations to be done for my Airtel HD digital TV which is not getting solved by the customer care for a long time.

I have taken an HD package but the very next day on 21March I logged a
complaint(No: 6189442) regarding my problem with the sound in the MOVIES NOW HD channel. Firstly, I am not getting Dolby Digital sound in this channel. Second, the is a sound is extremely distorted whenever there is any loud sounds, for example explosion or airplane etc sounds.

I constantly chased the log in customer care and finally they asked me call on a phone no ([protected]) for my problem. Then again after chasing on this phone no for 2 days they sent 2 persons on 24th Mar. These persons had absolutely NO IDEA of the problem and promised to send some senior person.

I requested them not to close the complaint(No: 6189442) till the problem is resolved.

On 25th Mar, I somehow got connected to customer care 12150 and the person on the other side told that the complaint is closed and disconnected the call.
Is this the way you operate in the support?


May I request you to please look into this issue and get the problem resolved and also to get some more trained people to handle the incident calls.

Thanks.

My name is Kumar Abhishek and my mobile numner is [protected].
I have never opted for any subscrition for Artel Blog. Suddenly one day an sms comes which says "your subscrition to Airtel Blog has been renewed and you have been charged Rs 10 for 10 days." My phone is on roaming with zero balance. I am not able to send an SMS to 52000 for the unsubscription. Now my balance has become Rs. -10.00 - negative value.
Can you please help my by unsubscribing from the Airtel Blog.

Wrong Recharge of Rs. 100/-
Sir / Madam,

My mobile no is: [protected] which is the Airtel Maharashtra Circle Number and I am using it since July 2009. The current scheme for my number was that of 1paise/second.

Since my balance was 6paise, I recharged my account with Rs.100/- (only for talktime) from a shop near my place. I recvd an E-recharge message saying RECHARGE SUCCESSFUL on[protected]. Talktime Rs.1.00. MRP Rs.100.00 . TransID[protected].
This Re.1 is also not shown in my Balance but i can call to any number.

Things to Note :
1) My scheme of 1paise/second got terminated and i am getting charged Re.1 for every call.

2) Also i cannot send any message since the balance shown is only 6 paise.

3) When i connect to Customer Care, they say you can't talk with the representative since your balance is low...

Hello Sir,

I am writing this mail to you after repeated and failed attempts to have a resolution from my cellular connection vendor. I have airtel mobile connection in my name and have been using it from past 10 years.

I have communicated with them to resolve my 3G GPRS activation on my cell phone connection which was deliberately activated and i have been charged heftily on the grounds o[censored]sage for the each data activity which was activated without my knowledge and consent or request.

Each time I requested them to consider my tenure having a connection with them and give a consideration to re visit the 3G activation mistake happened from their end. Till date they are saying as per their records they are very correct with data usage on my cellular connection and not giving any waive off for the same.

I am enclosing the communication details which has happened between me and airtel people.

I request you to look into this and suggest me the best solution.

Following is the email exceprt what I have sent to them.

Subject: Priority Concerns with Number [protected]

I hold the airtel mobile connection with a number bearing [protected], and I am
writing this communication with a hope that it will be addressed without any
standard consoling words infact a actionable words on resolving the issue.

As of today, 13 Apr 2011, my outstanding bill is Rs 2741/- and outgoing is also
barred, i have been with airtel mobile service from past ten years and due to
your mistake, I am in a state where I cant even make outgoing calls.

At this point, I am really loooking for solution rather than just reply to this
email,

Problems with my connection:

1. GPRS service activated without my consent,
2. There is no alert shared with me for activation of it, other wise would have
called back and cancelled it immediately.
3. Bills generated against GPRS usage.

Solution looking for:

Your priority and concern for the valued customer would result me being in the
airtel network otherwise i have to look for better options.

1. I am ready to make the payment against Call Usage and its taxes
2. I am ready to make the payment against monthly rental for the call usage.


Please note that, in past 10 years my payments have been well in advance prior
to last date.

These un happy situations hurt the relationship.

I hope you would understand and provide solution for the same.

Looking forward for your call and listening ear to solve the need. I can't call
you guys as outgoing is barred :(

Thanks,
Thomas Scaria

Customer ID: [protected]

Raised a request on 1st week of April for dish antenna re-alignment. Till date no action has been taken by Airtel. Visited the BG Rd, Bangalore Airtel office and spoke to Airtel reps. The rep assured me that someone would come over to my residence on 24th April morning and get it done. Till now, the issue remains there. I have already complained to Nodal officer and also written to airtel presence but of no use. Nodal officer is big joke. He will always say that it will be resolved in 24 hrs but nothing will be done. Tried calling the Technical Vendor(Communication Networks- Phone: [protected]) but they are worse. Either the phone will be busy or nobody will pick up.

Its a BIG SHAME for Airtel that their own vendors don't give a damn to their important business partner. Customer care are of no use as each time they will say it will be resolved in 24 hrs. Getting calls daily from Delhi Airtel office assuring me that it will be resolved in next day. But fact is that Airtel DTH customer service is a big failure. The only option left is to move to different DTH operator.
