I had airtel postpaid connection which was commited to get start in 4 Hrs but started after 3 days,later outgoing calls were stopped due to non availability of ANNEXURE -E. I submitted the same to retail outlet from where i got the connection & they told me outgoing will resume in 2 hrs but today after 6 days outgoing is still blocked by them.The reason given by customer care is insufficient documents.i.e they have not uploaded my documents.Mr.Vijendra (owner of retail outlet) is not picking my phone nor his boss Mr.Ashish & even their Nodal Officer Mr.sandeep.They are neither disconnecting my connection Nor resuming my outgoing.Please Help...

    Hello,

    I have ported my number to airtel from idea. I am unable to activate my 3G. Whenever i send SMS 3G to 121 they reply me that "We are unable to process your request!Please try again later. " Also I am unable to get LIVE settings. I tried sending SMS to to 54321 but still unable to get setting.

    Also i am unable to connect to customer care executives.

    Thanx,

    Please refer to my complaint mentioned below :

    my cell number [protected] . I have activated Rs.95 SMS scheme in my cell and i have been noticing deduction of 1 Rs. for every message in the evening time.. sms which r sent in the day time are free of cost but from evening to nite these gets chargeable.
    This is a nuisance.. and the customer care number is diverted to a message " you can know your account information by dialing *121# . Thank You "
    It is such a cheap technical department of airtel which is humiliating customers who have chosen airtel as their network.
    Please solve my complaint at the earliest.

      Hi,

      I have applied for Broadband connection last week through calling [protected]. This guy was not picking my call I had been trying for 2 days and then I called him in another number and he took the phone and told me that he was talking to other customers so thats why he did not picked my call. Then got a message from Airtel saying that I will get the connection within 3 days however I did not get.

      Today morning I called him and he told that he will give me the update in one hours time but he did not called, so I called him @ 1 Pm and he was talking very rude to me saying that I thought of helping you to get the connection now let us see how will you get the connection.

      I'm going to file a Case against Airtel for doing this.

      I called up the customer care and he informed me that it will take time and he cannot assure me that when this will happen.

      I need to get an update by EOD today otherwise Monday first thing I will file a case.

      Thanks,

        Then on 8th march i went to docomo shop and submitted my documents to them along with the UPC. I filled up the form myself and there was nothing wrong in it.They said that it would take maximum of 7 days to complete.
        But now after so many days airtel have rejected for no reason .The are not allowing me to port out.
        please assist.

        thank you
        nobody is lokking after my complain...i am stuck between the porting process...this is very unfair on part of consumers...
        Surly MNP in Airtel is a fake.. they wont allow their customers to use MNP facility, i've enrolled more than 2 times in 1901.. but i still get a worst service for airtel..
        really airtel and docomo making full to there customers. Bcs i also applyed for 3 times. They had given me aweful service.

I insisted that I need a complaint number which after a long wait was given to me which is 5808845. I asked him where next can I complaint to which he said nothing can be done and disconnected. Kindly help me.

                I had a Airtel postpaid mobile connection [protected] that belongs to Assam circle and was in roaming in Mumbai, Maharashtra circle from 27/03/2011 and stopped working since 03/03/2011. Inspite of giving repeated complaints at both 121 and Airtel relationship centers the problem has not been resolved yet. I had even written a mail to nodal officer at: nodalofficer.[protected]@airtel.in but he/she did not even bother to reply.

                Therefore I wish to terminate my connection and seek compensation for loss of business and harassment.

                    Dear Sir/Madam,

                    I have a airtel connection with number - [protected].

                    I went to New Delhi on 17.01.2011 from West Bengal near about 1.00 PM and after 4.00 PM outgoing calls are stopped from my number. then after reaching new delhi i complained to customer care (121) for this problem on 18.01.2011 near about 5.00 PM (complain no - [protected]) but they couldn't help me, then i called to Nodal Officer ([protected]) on 18.01.2011 near about 5.30 PM and they told me for waiting upto 20.01.2011 at 6.00 PM. On 20.01.2011, i received call from nodal officer on 20.01.2011 but they couldn't solve my problem and told me for wait. From 26.01.2011 my Incoming call is also stopped and due to this i have faced many many problems from 17.01.2011 to 05.02.2011.

                    On 03.02.2011 i came back to West Bengal but my number still not working so i again complain to nodal officer ([protected]) with complain no.[protected] but he is also told me for wait some time.

                    finally i have to recharge again the lifetime power for reactive of my service on 05.02.2011.

                    for this problem i was mentally harassed and also used to contact with any person through Public Telephone.

                    Now i am fully decide to complain at Consumer Court for a reasonable compensation for all that problem.

                    so please do the needful as earliest.

                    Thanking you.

                      Address: Kollam, Kerala

                      Hi, I am an Airtel customer for 2 years. My no is [protected]. But I was sick of the service and decided to change to BSNL using MNP. I gave request to bsnl on 4/3/2011 by filling out a form. They processed the request and after that I got a call from Airtel offering some new plans but I rejected it and confirmed my change. But strangely, I got a message from BSNL stating that the port in request was rejected by airtel due to UPC (Unique Porting Code) Mismatch. Today (10/3/2011) I went to the bsnl office and checked the code they had entered and it was correct and valid. They said Airtel might have done fraud. So I contacted the senior officers but they said, first I have to disconnect from airtel. Then only they can do something. So I tried to contact the customer care. But for months I have been blocked from the customer care.(Its their policy against customers who complain). So I was unable to contact them. I got the number of Airtel nodal officer in kerala from TRAI site and called it. It played a sweet music and nobody answered. Same was with the Appellate authority. What can I do? How can I give myself a complaint to TRAI? If any of you Airtel people are reading this, please note this. I am studying in a college with 2000 students. And you are going to lose a lot of customers...

                          AirTel — network related

                          I am using my airtel prepaid connection since the airtel lanched in kashmir . but i am not satisfied with its network as a am not getting proper netork in the area where i am actiually residing . i made many complaints regarding the same but all in vain and i have recieved many calls from airtel customer care, they always assured me that the problem will be resolved very soon. now the only option for me is to change the network operator. i also tried for MNP ( Mobile number portability ) for which i have been asked to make call on 1900 for UPC, i got the information from IVR that we will contact you within 6 hours . but i did not recieve any call from their side.

                            My trouble started once I bought the Sony LCD.

                            First the sales person at Big Bazaar, Cosmos didn’t mention on the additional Rs 1000. Opps!!! Why should they highlight that the product is costing Rs 1000 more? Now when we have to shell out Rs 1000, don't know why is it called free. You don't buy a HD box to put it your showcase. Don’t know who to blame here: Sony or Airtel. But sure, none would like to touch that topic.

                            Then the sales man promised (do these sales person know the meaning of the word: Promise) that the HD box will be delivered along with the LCD. I didn’t get it and I was not surprised considering the previous experience of Rs 1000. Now the delivery person said that the Sony personal would be delivering the Airtel HD. Now the Sony personal (mob [protected]) asked me to contact Airtel to get it.

                            Now stuck with Airtel. I have browsed through the site to get the voucher online, but no use. Tried the toll free no: 12148, same result. They said they will call back within 10 minutes. 10 hours past…still waiting. This is despite the fact that I am a Airtel post paid customer for the last 6 years!!!!!

                            BTW the Sony website says: ‘Sony shall not be held responsible for Coupon activation issues or related services, all disputes have to be directly handled with the Digital TV service provider.’ Good Prediction!!!

                            Requesting all to avoid this offer as it would create big headache running from pole to pole.

                            Thanks

                            Is this an automated reply...A search in this database would yield lots of such standard reply from Airtel. It would be great, rather than spending your time in this website, u guys spend some at ur CC.

                            I will be posting screen shots of the number of time I have contacted the CC, once I get my mobile bill. That will show how much "CARE" is shown by the "CUSTOMER CARE".

                            airtel hd — Lies to sell HD box

                            I was having poor information on HD channels. I was not knowing about HD and channels.
                            I was soccer fan, So I wanted to purchase 40" TV along with HD channels. So I started enquiring on HD setup box and channels. Reliance HD sales guy clearly told we only sell one HD channel remaining all are not HD, but have more clarity with some other feature. When enquired TATA also told same.
                            When enquired Airtel They told all channels are HD at same price. So I decided to go for it as world cup games started also thinking about future. So I purchased 40" Sony Bravia and Airtel DTH.
                            Airtel DTH promised me install in 2 days. To my horror they installed in 5 days. I lost 2 of my fevorite German and Argentina games in time. After 5 days they installed. When I saw channels all are in normal range. I did not see much clarity.
                            When enquired they said 5 times clarity than cable channels !!! Not High Definition !! when called call centers for reason they told you have to setup for High definition in setup box. I did setup the same. I saw little better clarity. To watch channels in 40" I had to keep it stretch mode from 4:3 to fit into 40" in 16:9 mode. Though my wife liked it. I am electronic engineer knows this not the way to watch channels. It looked all persons fatty and blobed faces.. I know for sure It was not High Definition (1920x1080) .
                            For me it was not much difference to me watching Airtel channels in 40" in high definition more except it is in bigger screen.
                            I enquired call center again after knowing it is not high definition channels, Then they told me shocking news, There is only ESPN HD channel now, later they will introduce NG and Discovery and it will continue so all channnel one day wiill be HD !!!! To my horror they told I had to pay another 100 Rs per HD channel.
                            I then realized sales guy lied to me.
                            I checked there site again to verify that it mentioned better clarity and ESPN in HD offer till ESPN games are over. I again enquired about the offer then they told It is available you can watch game in HD. Which was not. It contiued till end of Soccer World Cup. I checked every day ESPN HD channel, it mentioned paid channel. I watched only world cup closing ceremony in ESPN HD.
                            I really loved to watch that game in HD in 40" somy bravia. I then realized the this is HD. not the one I watched regularly.
                            Once world cup is over I hated Airtel som much for that I missed HD for there less informing/cheating sales guys to sell there HD setupboxes at higher price with higher monthly price to watch same clarity as normal DTH.

                            I am sharing this experiance to not to get fooled by Sales guys.
                            Don't purchace more than 32" TV as it is not worth as there are no HD channels india. Except National Geographic and Discovery. 40" is worth only for HD channles.
                            Dont purchase HD setup boxes till all channels are in HD.
                            If you keen to watch NG and Discovery and very few (2-3) in HD then ready to pay 350 + 100 + 100 .. for each channel ..
                            First of all don't purchase Airtel DTH they are all liars...
                            They give all ad that 5X clarity with Karina..dont fall for it... It is just bull...t clarity..

                            Same is case with 40" tv sellers. They sell with there own DVD player with HD movies. atleast 40" tv can be used watching HD dvd's (!!)
                            Still airtel HD is not competative with other HD providers.They are very slow in introducing new HD channel.we are ready to pay any extra charges.what for ADTV is waiting to introduce more HD channels
                            This is true. Airtel is the cheating company in India. They have grown by cheating people (experianced with mobile service as well only Broadband service is good in Airtel). They will give false information while taking connection and about offers etc. Customer service is pathetic and the quality of HD is also low comparing with tata sky. SD quality is too bad I think Airtel compresses the content a lot before they broadcast.

                            Guys, My advice is please go for TataSky. They will do genuine business not promise more than what they can do. I have compared the quality with Airtel and it seem quite good both picture and quality. And moreover heard that Tata will share their profits with Charities.

                            My collegues (and net reviews) have advised about Airtel service and quality but I have ignored because of number of 14 HD channels but am regreting now. My advice is never go for Airtel for any service except for broadband.

                            We do not encourage these kind of companies. My sincere advice is to avoid Airtel.

                                  Hi,

                                  Am using airtel prepaid no: [protected] for the past 3 years.

                                  I registered for DND on 19th Jan 2011.

                                  But still now am receiving more than 60-70 sms per day from Airtel.

                                  I made complaint to Airtel Customer Care, Nodel Officer and wrote a mail to [protected]@barthi.in.

                                  But none of them are taking care about my complaint.

                                  Really Airtel customer care is not taking care about the customers.

                                      Hi ,

                                      I have got airtel broadband connection for past 2months ,landline
                                      number [protected] .
                                      I am shocked and surprise of the broadband services provided by airtel
                                      with frequent disconnection of broadband and landline signal form the
                                      day one to till date i got this connection .

                                      I have registered various complaints from the day i got this
                                      connection.This was fixed temporarily for that time.
                                      During the past few days i have logged many complaints almost every
                                      day but till today no service engineer visited my home neither anyone
                                      bothered to call me and find if my issue is resolved or still
                                      persists.
                                      I am sure if any lapse in payment from a customer is found by you
                                      ,service provider will suck the blood of the customer till he pay back
                                      the outstanding.I want to question you ,is this not the
                                      responsibility of service provider to see what is the latest status of
                                      the customer after the complaint logged?
                                      I am surprised to see this kind of service from one of the leading
                                      service provider in India to have this kind of miserable staff with
                                      them that too in city like Bangalore IT HUB,i am afraid what would be
                                      the kind of service in district/town /village?

                                      This issue is not fixed till date.
                                      I have done few escalations also and requested to restore the services.
                                      I am incurring a huge loss in by business day to day because of this issue.

                                      Please take my request to escalate against the culprits of the staff
                                      responsible for this inconvenience caused to me and see that is issue
                                      is fixed ASAP.

                                      And also wave off my rental paid till date .

                                      I might have to publish/proceed this issue in every legal manner, if i
                                      am not finding a appropriate response from airtel on the issue.

                                      Airtel — Frequent disconnection of broadband causing loss in business

                                      This is a recurring issue. I am a stock broker and require broadband for running my business. There have been recurring problems from airtel broadband. The connection keeps disconnecting frequently, and during business timings. This causes a lot of discomfort and irritation to my clients.

                                      I had emailed the customer care and demanded compensation about 2 months back. They assured me that this will never happen again. Now, again, in a span of 25 minutes, the broadband disconnected 4 times.

                                      So this time, I have had enough and am demanding compensation from them.

                                        Dated[protected] requested to PORT my RIM number ([protected]) to Airtel (RV9EBTIM), So I submitted all required documents to M/S Jakir Enterprise ( Rural Distributors of Airtel, Bethuadahari, Nakashipara, Nadia) after few days of submission my number is successfully ported. But now my number is stopped working due to not receiving of documents and M/S Jakir Enterprise ( Rural Distributors of Airtel ) closed their business with Airtel. I ask customer care for solution of this problem they said please go another distributor and submit your documents again.
