Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Respected sir

I m Hemant arora & my number is[protected]. Its been more than 1 year I m using this number & paying bill regularly. From 20 jan I started using aritel gprs on my handset. To avoid huge bill on 31st jan I requested for 198 rental 2Gb GPRS plan. I got setting & welcome message from airtel. After 15 days collection department approached 5times & I always explained them I am using gprs that’s why my unbill amount is exceeding my credit limit but at the time of bill generate it will be discounted. Now on 23 feb airtel generated my total bill of 6000 rs & in that 5000rs airtel are charging for gprs only. When I tried to explained my situation in airtel nodal officer & coustmer care they are saying you were using airtel live settings that’s why your bill is huge.
In this case I m innocent because to avoid huge bill I activated airtel gprs plan then why will I use airtel live? I didn’t know the difference between Airtel live & Airtel gprs. Coustmer care didn’t aware me that airtel live is not discounted in 198 gprs scheme. Now airtel is giving discount of 1000rs only. I cann’t afford this much amount to pay. I want to adjust my usage till 2 Gb to discounted by 198 & further usage to be charge as per airtel charges.
Now my services are barred & I am feeling cheated. Please help me.

I have been using my Airtel connection on [protected] since 9 years and have always paid my bills till Nov, 2010. My usual bill charges have always been to an amount of 4000/- and hence as the bill for Nov came to that amount I paid up. I was amazed to see my Dec bill of 8000/- and when I saw the details, I saw that they had charged me 3700/- on account of GPRS for which I had never requested. As per them they had activated GPRS on my mobile w.e.f 22nd Nov. But I had never even requested for the same. Why should I pay for what I have not requested. I have repeatedly lodged my complaints with all in Airtel and even with Mr.Mittal, but it is so saddening to see the way Airtel is taking their customers for granted. They have not bothered to solve my problem and on top of that they have discontinued my number. I have been using this number for 9 years and this number is with all my dear and near ones. I will also be loosing out a lot professionally and I would hold Airtel responsible for this.I hope that by lodging my complaint here, there may be a solution.

Hi.

I am Nishant Singh , I had a mobile connection of Bharti Airtel +91 [protected] since 2006. In March 2009 I move to Mumbai from Delhi and I want to continue this Mobile No. that’s way I spoke to Airtel customer care for any advance rental plan and they had suggest me some Rs.999 advance rental plan for 3 year . In this plan I don’t have to pay any thigh for Monthly rent, I have to pay only the call which I make.

I took this plan and paid advance rent to Airtel.

But from May 2010 my Mobile is out of order and when I spoke to customer care they said that your number is permanently disconnected and this number is allotted to somebody else and we will not able to give any refund for your advanced rent.



My request you to please look into the matter and I want my Mobile Number Back anyhow with validity.


Regards

I have a Airtel Connection No.[protected]. To my surprise, I find often my balance drops down. This I understand is due to erroneous deduction of Rs.2/call towards MMS, which I have not opted for.

If the aforesaid MMS deduction is not dispensed with immediately and refund for their erroneous deduction is not effected immediately, I shall be constrained to resort to legal course of action at their risk and cost. I shall also do not hesitate to bring this matter before the Telecom Regulatory Authority. I hope the Airtel will not resort to looting of customers money without their consent, which may badly tell upon the reputation of the Company.

Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Samrat Kanjilal i am customer of your company for last 8 to 9 years. I am using airtel postpaid number [protected] for last 8 to 9 years, my billing add is 61 M.I.G,BARRA-6,kanpur(U.P.)208027.I am paying my bills regularly but this time i failed to make the payment on time because i am out of station for last few days. I received a call from Airtel head office kanpur day before yesterday regarding the payment for this particular number [protected],I told them that the bill will be cleared on Friday 18-3-11.The outstanding amount is Rs.1594 only.
Today again i received a call from [protected] the gentlemen name was Mr.Avinash he told me that he is calling from Airtel Head office civil lines Kanpur.Mr.Avinash used very bad language for me he used slang words and his way of talking was very bad,he said so many things even i cant write here.
Now i want to ask you sir this is the way you treat your customers.The company gives this kind of training to it's employees for customer relationship.
I am having 8 Airtel connections in my family so many companies approached me for switch off but i sticked to Airtel just because of it's services.
Today i felt really bad after this incident.
Kindly Tell Me what Kind of Action you are going to take against Mr.Avinash.
Hope you will take the matter seriously.

Respected Sir,
I am simply disgusted with the mugged up answers from the airtel CC.I had opted for browser 699 combo plan from Airtel last month(Feb, 2011). My billing cycle is from 11th to 10th of the next month. According to the plan if I cross my download limit my speed will be halved which will return to its original value once the next billing cycle starts I have a credit amount of Rs115 with Airtel after paying my bill on march 13th.
Ever since then I have been complaining about my speed not being rationalized and there's been no resolution. First a complain was lodged on 13th with code 44079968. Then when the problem wasn't solved I contacted the CC again who resolved this complain no. and lodged a new one with code 44134854. This was again not resolved and then I contacted there nodal officer Mr Sujay who started another complain 44224250 today and is supposed to be resolved by 5.30 p.m.
Since I no have the patience to go through the same answers of "we apologize for your inconvenience" with no solution. I hope you will help me out in this case.
Airtel also charges us for speaking to Customer care executives which is the worst thing I have experienced with Airtel. Helping out a customer is the duty of the company and supposed to be free of cost.
I refuse to pay bill amount for the speed I have not used.
My fixed line no is [protected]

Hi Airtel,

I have a airtel broadband number [protected] in noida and I plced a number shifting request dated 2nd march 2011 to Airtel as the persone who was using got shifted to another place.

Airtel executive said that they can not transfer it as I am not living there, But I can give ownership to persone using it and then it can be transfered. Executive also talk to the persone who want to take the ownership and tell me to provide NOC for ownership transfer in mail and I provided it.

After that no one contacted to cocerned persone for ownership transfer and document collection.

Then I placed a disconnection request to Airtel as no one is using that number and bills is getting generated for non usage. The again replied with a service request number 1403775 and will be addressed in 72 hr.
Again no action or call from airtel for number closure.

When I call in the morning to get status of requst, executive always said our system is down so we can not check your request status please call later. What is the problem with your system running on production server which get down in every morning? Please hire some smart people so it can work properly.

Now what I need.
Please close my Airtel Broadband and Landline number [protected] with immediate effect as today is my bill date, and no further bills should be generated for number.I will not be responsible for further bill generated after today. I do not want to pay bills for delay in processing from your side and non usage. All the dues will be cleared before due date.

Other service requests related to this issue are
43844786
1400025
13134539

No one expect such response from big MNC like Airtel. Customer Service is getting pathetic day by day.
Thats why you are loosing good customers. Please take care of it.

Hope a positive response.

Hi,i took my airtel number [protected] sumwere in february,then i kept that sim for few days unused as i had given my phone for repairing.when i inserted my sim in march to use this number, i found my balance is reduced to Rs 18 ..When i bought i had Rs 32 as balance and automatically sum caller tune was active on my number,then i again recharge my number [protected] by 30 rs voucher,then onwards every day i start getting sum gardening tips messag.after 4-5 day i found every day re 1 is deducted from my account for those Gardening tips that was activated automatically,being a bachelor n living in PG i dont need any gardening tips,finally i deactivated that application n also caller tune application.So please check into this matter n try refunding my money that had been deducted from my account without my notification and please dont activate any application on my number without my notification.

AIRTEL deducted Rs. 20 for FRENZO CHAT from my number on 17/03/2011 but I do not use that. When I contacted the customer care 121, the executive said that NO SERVICE IS ACTIVE. So I asked to refund the money, the executive said that they do not refund money from Apps. They themselves say that no service is active still they charge for that service.

Then I asked the executive about the procedure for changing the service provider through MNP, the executive denied to say that, after constant requestt the execuutive finally said the procedure.

Airtel is a company which cheats its own customers.
This is not the first time, I have faced many problems before, and when I email them about my problems they just send an apology but never take care of that problem.

My request reference number: CDOV2031***4

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am V.V.R.Prasad from Hyderabad who purchased the Airtel SIM on 4th of February.On 20th of February I received a SMS from Airtel that I submitted incomplete application form and asked me to submit complete application form in nearest Airtel service center and on 21st of February they blocked my SIM.As we observed bandh on 22nd and 23rd of February I are unable to submit application form in Airtel service center.On 24th of February I submitted complete application form with all requirements in Narayanaguda Airtel shop of Hyderabad.On 27th I called to customer care to en-quire about the activation of SIM.He replied me that they have not received any application form and asked me to go to the shop where I submitted the form.I gave a complaint in mail to Airtel on the same day relating this matter.They replied me to submit application form with identity proof.I went to the shop where I submitted the application and they replied that they are not at all concerned with the matter.I again called customer care regarding this issue and he told me that I will get my SIM into proper working before 9th March.I did not get my SIM activated even after 9th March.I went to Airtel head office to en-quire about the status.There the executive replied me that the SIM is completely deactivated and I cannot use that SIM again.I have an opportunity o[censored]sing 6 months internet with that SIM and hence I am at loss if I lose that SIM.Even if I am in regular contact with Airtel regarding activation of my SIM they deactivated my SIM without any information.My number which got deactivated is [protected]

I have subscribed a new mob connection having No [protected] from one of your retail outlet M/s Arora Medical, Gandhi Market, New Delhi-2 on 6/7 Jan 2011. I have submitted clear & legible proof of address & identity proof to the full satisfaction of the retailer. However after 20 days the connection suddenly the service was disrupted siting problem in documents submitted by me. However as I have taken up the case with the retailer the service was promptly restored.

To my disbelief again on 01 mar 11 when i was out of station the service was once again disrupted siting same reasons. When I tried to customer care centre I am surprised after a few momements the call itself gets cut before I could talk to the customer care executive. Once or twice I am able to talk to your call centre, who always routinely give vague replies without specifying the exact problem in the id documents submitted by me. Later not satisfied with their reply I have complained to their nodal officer who told me that there is a id verification problem and still he could not specify when the verification call was made. He however told me to visit the Airtel showroom in Delhi with fresh set of documents and the old sim card to get a new sim in the same number. Accordingly when i returned to Delhi on 16 Mar 2011 I have visited Airtel showroom at M5, CP with the documents, photograph and the old sim. However to my surprise the customer care executive in the showroom simply and balantly refused me any help. When I drawn her attention about the amount of recharge (around a Rs.1000/-), she told me that the amout has been forefitted.
I think Airtel compant has devised a new scheme to loot customers. The modus of operandi is first give new connection and when the customer recharhges a considerable amount they will deactivate the connection giving vague replies as mentioned above and grasp the subscribers money.
Everyone be careful.

As I am much puzzled, now I am here for complaining regarding my Airtel Digital TV Set top Box which I purchased two times in 2 years. The Customer Care of Airtel Digital TV or their Executive or the STB department did not resolve my problem which has been facing by me from last 40 days.

As I requested, my Airtel Digital TV STB is not working from around 40 days and still the problem are same. They told me that your STB is to be changed or replaced and you have to pay Rs.350+100 for STB Charge and Enng. Charnge...

This is to inform you that I have paid Rs.500+200+150 for the Airtel STB before 4 month back and they told me the warranty of the product is 1 year. After 4 months when the Machine is not working they telling me that your product is out of warranty and you will have to pay Rs.350 plus visitor charge as per rule of Airtel Digital Tv. They also told me that your warranty period is 90 days.

I already faced it too much and want to resolve by you or Airtel.

Please look into the matter.

Subject: Refund Required.

Respected Sir / Madam,

This is an existing customer of Airtel DTH who until recently had all the trust on its products & services.

Few months ago, on 6th of November 2010, I called its customer care[protected] and showed my interest in getting an Airtel HD-Digital Video Recorder installed at my residence. Later in the day, I got a call from Ms. Madhavi ([protected], +[protected] who confirmed my booking and informed me that on Monday (8th November 2010) an Airtel representative will come to my place to collect the sum of Rupees 5490/-, the price of the product.

On the above mentioned date, someone called 'Govind' from Shell Transource (Airtel) came to collect cash and gave me a receipt of the same. It (Receipt) clearly stated ‘HD-DVR’ on it.
Within a week, on 14th November 2010, the set-top box was installed & unaware of the fact, that it’s just a ‘DVR’ and NOT ‘HD’, I started using it.

Recently, after watching an advertisement of another DTH Operator (Tata Sky Plus HD) and some inquiry done from my end, I discovered that I’ve been CHEATED by Airtel Team as the company doesn’t even have an HD-DVR to sell. It’s just a DVR that can be connected with an HDMI Cable. Therefore, its 576 SD & not in 1080 HD resolution. Moreover, right now there are only two DTH Operators in the market who provide HD-DVR – Tata Sky & Reliance Digital TV.

This is disregarding a customer’s faith, his belief in the company and the brand in totality. All I need is a refund now.

As a proof, I have sent the receipt (Attached Photo) and all the connected exchange of e-mails that occurred during my purchase of the product to their customer care (twice) and even posted the same complaint letter (with Receipt’s copy enclosed) to the nodal office of Airtel DTH via courier.
Didn’t receive any reply from either one of them.

Please do the needful & oblige.

Sincerely,
Hemant Chawla

i am Shingate Bhausaheb. using airtel postpaid connection since 2 yers and 2 days back (14/3/2011) i got a call from airtel (*) that, we are providing you new airtel connection with new VIP number for free. so i requested them to come to my home and will give you my documets.. one person came whos name was Sameer. I took Two connection for RS. 500 Each and he told me that he will give cards next day ..

i tried on all his numbers from which he used to contact me .. not single number is available now. they cheated me for Rs. 1000 .

Hello,

I have taken an Airtel connection with number [protected] in the month of August, 2010.
I have asked to disconnect the number in the month of October, 2010.
To disconnect my number I have called the customer care and they have sent an executive (Sarath, [protected]) to collect the money from me. I have cleared my dues on 21st October, 2010. Bill receipt number is BAL/CHN/2008-09/601172. (Attached is the scanned copy of the receipt)

In January, 2011 I have received a legal notice from “Anand, Abdul & Vinodh Associates” (which is associated with airtel) to clear my dues.
I have called the airtel customer care several times regarding this issue. After few days, one customer care executive has said the issue is solved and I will not get any legal notice.
To my surprise I have got one more legal notice in February, 2011 from the same associates to clear my dues. When I have called the airtel customer care, I have got an answer that “as Airtel is not able to find the executive to update my payment, the case is closed”. One of the team leaders or supervisor said, he is going to solve the issue and assured that I won’t receive any legal notice further.
I just received the third legal notice. I am not happy to receive legal notices from Airtel. I called the customer care again and he again raised a complaint which will take at least 3-4 months to revert back saying “the case is closed and you have to pay money”

The recent ticket number is[protected].

I have called airtel so many times and the customer care representatives are just keeping me on hold and finally they don’t speak up or hang the call. Each call duration is approximately 20 to 30 minutes. I have experienced this so many times. I have sent so many emails and nobody care to respond.

Again with this email I am attaching the scanned copy of the bill receipt and scanned copy of the third legal notice. The recent ticket number is[protected].

Somebody address the issue and get it solved within 23rd March and let the “Anand, Abdul & Vinodh Associates” know about this.
If I don’t receive any proper reply from Airtel, then I will have to proceed legally and it might cost you so much. It’s a reputation damage for me.

Hope Airtel tries to solve this issue. My alternate contact number is [protected]

Thanks,

On my mobile ph no. [protected] - airtel mobile service provider automatically activates service packs like cricket info, miss -u packs etc and charges are deducted without my consent . i have not applied for any of these but then also charges are deducted and continued messages are delivered.

kindly look in to the matter as soon as possible. deactivation numbers also don't respond answering - 'yeh seva iss samay uplabdh nahi hai' .

thanks
