Airtel Complaints & Reviews

This is with reference to My Reliance CDMA Prepaid Mobile No. [protected] to which I liked to convert into Airtel GSM Prepaid through MNP. In context to that I have generated UPC Code RDMG57UT & submit the documents to Airtel Dealer on 20th Jan for porting. After 7 days he returned back my documents without mentioning any reason to me after doing great follow up with him. When I speak to the customer care of Airtel they suggested me to submit my documents along with the request directly to their Airtel Store.

Than again I made a request through their Airtel Store "Elegance Distribution" by generating the new UPC Code RD129958 on 1st February. After doing repeatedly follow ups & visiting this store around 4-5 times they cannot able to state the reason why my no. was not converted into Airtel till 16th Feb.

Than again I made the third request to another Airtel store "Sanchi Infotel" on 17th Feb by submitting my documents & generating UPC code RD173491 for the third time but till today my mobile no. is not registered is with Airtel & due to this reason they neither can track the status of my MNP request nor they can register my complaint for this irregularity.

Even their store people can't able to tell exactly where my all the requests are stucking up instead they are giving me the vague excuses regarding technical problems just to buy more time. Talking to their customer care is another headache as if I ask them to get us speak to their senior since they are unable to solve my problem they just keep you on hold & disconnect your phone call after 15 minutes of good waiting time that some of their senior will come on to that phone call.

This is ridiculous as this is not expected from the No.1 service providor of this industry.

I would like to request Higher Officials to make some controlling point for these kind of irregularities as until & unless there is no controlling point, this MNP service will not be at all beneficial for Indian Customers.

I would also request you to kindly look into this matter so that this problem can be resolved at earliest.

Thanks & B'regards

Mobile Number Portability

Dear Sir / Madam,

This is Vishal Mohan from Delhi.

I am an existing AIRTEL customer " +91 [protected]".
My Complaint is that i want to switch over to Idea Cellular Ltd.
I had received a message on[protected] stating " Your Unique Porting ID is AD864929 and the expiry date is[protected]".

My request was successfully registered on the same day.

After two days that is 18-02-11, I had received a message from 1901 stating that "your port in request for mobile number +91 [protected] has been REJECTED by your service provider due to LEGAL REASONS.

I have contacted the customer care (121 and 198, [protected]) representatives (had to wait a lot to speak to an executive directly) to find out what the legal reason is and they that we are forwarding your call to our senior executive and then the call gets disconnected.

I even called up Idea Cellular Ltd. customer care , where i was informed by them that they were happy for having chosen Idea and said that Airtel had rejected my application.

Well i did get a call from airtel customer care every time. i did tell them that i'm no more interested in airtel (due to a number of reasons) & have decided to switch over to Idea.

Now i have a few doubts,

Firstly will this transfer happen ? if not, then will my number be still active?

i do not mind getting a new simcard, but i would be happy if i can retain the same number.

Please resolve my problem as soon as possible. Because airtel has reject my number portbility appilication without any reason. so plz help me

Awaiting Your Reply.
Regards,

Vishal Mohan

Hello Sir,
Today (on 19 feb 2011) I had received a call from [protected] on my airtel mobile [protected]... Please resolve the issue.

If you need any support from my side you can call me on [protected].

Thank you,

Regaards,
Kodali Mohanvamshi.

I had subscribed to the Cricket Daily Pack Service. I had received a message saying "Congratulations! You have been successfully subscribed to Cricket Daily pack service.You will be charged Rs7/week.To deactivate Sms UNSUB SWCUP to 55383."
I wanted to deactivate the pack so I smsed UNSUB SWCUP to 55383 and I got a message saying Invalid Keyword.
This is wrong and I don't want to be charged for this service.

why is airtel customer care not reachable or always busy.. its busy even when i call in midnight or early morning at 6am.
i have got some complaint.
Rs.20 have been deducted from my balance. i am calling customer care since so many days.
why is airtel not willing to listen to their customers complaints? there is no such problem with all other companies like vodafone and tata indicom.
i am extemely worried.. i need balance urgently and airtel is deducting balance unnecessarily by activating world cup alerts on my number.

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

My mobile no. is [protected] and service provider is Airtel, it always happens that they activate any service by their own and starts deducting the balance and if complained and asked for a refund then they say sorry it can't be done, so kindly look in the matter.

Regards,
Gaurav

daily Rs.5 are deducted from my balance and today's the 3rd day.
i had recieved a message that i have been subscribed for world cup alerts.
i have been calling customer care and 198 since 3 days but all lines are busy.
i have also unsubscribed by dialling *121# on 17 february2011. still balance is getting lost from my account.
i dont understand whats the problem with airtel? first they unnecessarily activate such schemes and then deduct the balance.And when customer calls them they don't even recieve the call.
in december also same thing had happened. Rs.10 were straightaway deducted from my account and when i had called customer care no action was taken. i then also had mailed my complaint. but no action was taken by airtel.
all this really leaves a very bad impression about airtel on my mind.
i want Rs. 25 back in my account. i hope some action will be taken by airtel this time

The Airtel Andhra Pradesh is really bad. They automatically charge the customers who have more balance in their prepaid mobile by registering to some nonsense service like talk to me service with out the customers knowledge. When the customer calls the customer care then no one correctly answers the customers complaints. They simply blame the customers, they dont give any convincing answer nor accept their mistake. They say they are transferring the call to their supervisor and that will be on hold for unlimited time where the customers will be charged.

This is a absolute nonsense service from Airtel

I want to put forward the pathetic service that I am facing for installing the so called Airtel DTH [HD] service. On[protected], I have called their customer care to fix the installation date on[protected] for which I even recieved a confirmation SMS that it will be done at 1 PM,[protected]. I am having that message still.

On[protected], at 1:30 PM when I did not get any call, I again talked to their customer care for which I was told that it will be done within next 2 hrs. Again no response till 3:30PM. So I called up again the customer care and this time I was told that I have not booked the appointment and hence I need to do it again. This kind of service is really not acceptable.
