Hello consumers,

My sincere request do NOT buy Airtel Digital TV HD connection.
The product is probably great BUT Airtel customer service and local installation vendors is painful.

1. Purchased Airtel Digital TV HD 10 days ago.
2. To get it installed had to follow up customer care no. 50 times in 5 days.
3. Airtel is subcontracting installtion to local vendors who are NOT QUALIFIED and just teenager mechanics. These non eductated installers do not speak politely and have no expertise to handel premium customers.
4. They did wrong data entry (nornal digital instead of HD) and did NOT enable HD activation.
5. I paid Rs. 2514 and they ented in thie rsystem Rs.999!!! Less balance so no activation.
6. Can anyone give me complaint redressal customer escalation contact number of India Head - Airtel?
7. 10 days and 100 phone calls, 100 emails and no one to listen. Most pathectic experience is to buy a AIRTEL product. Mistake.
8. The installation mechanic took Rs.255 EXTRA stating that cable length is exceeding limit. Just 3 floors above cable length is insufficient?? No receipt for extra cable wire???? No record of payment???? How unprofessional can this get? I gave him Rs.300 and yet he was waiting for more! Crazeee!

A recharge has been made wrongly and the customer care doesnt respond properly. The mobile number to which the recharge has been made is de-activated. Request has been made roll back the transaction and debit the amount from that number and credit the amount to the correct number. But the custor care representative hung up the call abruptyly.

I am anuradha writing to you , with such a frustration which can nver be able to be expressed. I have taken an Airtel Datacard with the no :[protected] and account no: [protected] and writing to yo to raise a complaint against the executives and the service of the customer care too.

This is for your kind information that i have been using airtel datacard for my official purpose. I have been paying my bills on time every month and have never faced any issues with the bill payment nor the internet service. But, there was only one month where i couldnt pay my bill on time and also on the deadline due to my busy travelling schedule. I was travelling a lot of places and i couldnt pay it on time But then i have informed my brother to pay the bill and he had made a payment of 999 from his card from Canada . as the services were de-activated by the time i payed the bill i waited for 24 hours and called up the customer care to active it But i was told that the bill is not payed at all and moreover have some outstanding amount to be payed which i seriously deny. There might be late payment charges but when i have already payed the bill why would they be an outstandng amount??

As the net service is very important to me , i had again made the payment through my office accountant . He had paid an amount of Rs.999 . But then i still didnt get my internet access and i had to wait for more than a week. I persistently called the customer call to raise a complaint. they give different no and just say tht it is not their problem it is the device problem and have to cal the micromax service guys to rectify it. I have tried almost 10-12 nos of airtel and also micromax service centres but havent got any response from any one of them. Neither the Airtel customer care took the responsibility to activate my services. They sais that there is a problem with the device itself N we have even not got any response from the micromax too.. Wat would any one do when there is such a situation that u pay double the bill amount and then there is no internet and people blame each other for the problem??? Is this the professional way? Is this the way customer should waste their valuable time and also money?

Due to these reasons my accountant had given a service closing letter in Airtel Office Kukapally and informed them thaty we are not going to continue with their services. Inspite of that evey month the bill is generated and sent to me. Is there any logic that Internet is blocked and bill gets generated???? When the device itself is not working then how come you guys generate the bill though persistent comlaints were given?

One more complaint which i would like to add is. M a gal and i stay alone in my house. The bill collection people come and speak rash and shout and sometime talk very filthy and abusive language. They have spoken to me in such a way that no girl could ever bare it. Threatning me thretning my family,my friends, threatning for money wat is all this??? Do u ever kwn wat is happening on the field?? There was on airtel bill collection guy who directly entered into my room ans started talking filthy WHos going to save me if something goes wrong????? Are you not responsible for all these?

I feel so embarresed when ever i see your guys they way they talked they way they behaved is just un explainable.

without knowing all this how could you ever threaten my family that all the credit cards debit cards and telephone operating services would be given a black mark against al o[censored]s? We r the people who give great respect to money and would never miss use it. Its not the question of not paying the bills its the question of the services rendered by the company . Who wil not pay the bills on time wen the services are good???

Pls think about it and help me from your service guys.I have got so much of threatning and abusing that i am serisouly scared to stay in hyderabad. I have nvr faced such a prb with anyone. am new to hyd and i am now feeling bad that people here dis-respect gals and customers so badly and mis-behave!!!

If i still get any threatning and any notice or bills i am for sure going to give a complaint in the police against your service guys for mis-using abusing and threatning me.

Pls treat this as a alarm for you and try to give a good service. We are not cheap people to deal with all this.

3)After that on 28th jan2011 and on 2nd Feb2011, I have also mentioned that as I have cleared all the dues till 15th Jan. so why it has not been cancelled?

4)Now I find the extra bill amount of Rs215 for the month of Jan2011, I have
not used your service but wrongfully you are sending the bill.
5) you can find there is no usages after 15th jan2011, as i left kolkata. and how you are sending bill of Rs215 .

Today, 17/02/11, a customer care people called me that it is becos service is continuing till 31st jan 2011. but why?

I took new postpaid connection. Main purpose why I took this is to get International Roaming. I paid 5k before leaving India and I was told roaming was enabled. And when I came to US and checked it is not showing any signal. One of my colleague took airtel(prepaid) and he also took international roaming(infact he dint even pay 5k advance). He got his roaming activated!! I tried keeping my SIM in his mobile but still no use. This way I'm sure that there is some problem in activation. I tried manual network search, still no luck.

I'm tired talking to Airtel CustomerCare guys, tracking number[protected]this is not first one!!). I got reply saying they will get back to me by 15th(please see mail thread below), but till now I did not get any reply.
I even called nodal office, no one picking up the call! and that is additional charge for me, as I'm calling from US!

Airtel customer support is really bad. I'm deeply frustrated with Airtel services. They should understand the importance of this IR to me. :(

I did big mistake taking Airtel.

AIRTEL : Hope you understand the situation and do the needful ASAP.

Sir/ Ma'am,

I have had a call on my Airtel number from a number [protected] (twice) on 17/02/2011 at 11.10am & at 11.25am but I didn't pick up, as i saw it as an ISD number, while searched on google i found it from Pakistan and while I searched the whole number i found the same kind of complaint with the same number as mentioned below in the link:

http://www.consumercomplaints.in/complaints/airtel-c484681.html.

Please do the needful as I am scared how my number got leaked as I dont have any relation with any citizen of that country.

My number is [protected]....Please do the needful. and feel free to contact me on my email - [protected]@gmail.com

Hi
My AIRTEL DTH ID are [protected] & i have decided to take the 6 month advance rental plan with the same channel packages as were already available for viewing to me.but surprisingly when i had paid the 6 months advance rental the ZEE News channel has been removed from my list and when contacting to customer care thru e-mail & phone call they are not satisfactorily answered and the things happen 3-4 days. and finally they have suugested to pay extra amount to subscribe the ZEE News channel.
if the channel is available before paying the advance rent of 6months than how it is removed and demand the extra money?? this is unfair practice and required the action..

regards
rakesh

Dear Sir/ Madam,

This is to bring to your kind attention about prompt service that we are not getting in case of calling up on your airtel customer care number [protected] and [protected].
Our case is Mr. Shripad S. Shetye (senior Citizen) lost his airtel mobile having number [protected] (prepaid connection) about 8 days back and we were trying to call up the above airtel customer care numbers but we were unable to get any airtel customer executive online so that we could lodge complaint about this disconnection of lost airtel mobile number.

Infact customer service executive should immediately be available on your customer care numbers so that we can tell about the problems we face and grievances, if any.
But sorry to state that it is a poor service and we were really frustrated and had to rush our office boy to the Ghatkopar airtel gallery to lodge the complaint.
Now the complaint has been given on number 999 and they have told to call after 12 hours on number 121 but through airtel number only. There should be some service where we can
easily get in touch with the customer care executives from any non-airtel numbers.

Kindly take action immediately and let me know whether the number [protected] has been disconnected.

There should be easy service about disconnection when our own mobile is lost to avoid wrong usage by the receiver of the handset.

Thanks & Regards
Prasad S Shetye (son of Mr. Shripad S Shetye)

Airtel has deducted rs 20 and started friends chat service without me sending any request. they have even not informed me about the start of the service and deduction. I came to know about deduction when on 16 feb 2010 at night when i checked my balance. I called customer care at 198 and came to know that rs 20 were deducted for friends chat service i told him that i have not activated the service but he refused to listen to me and cut the phone. I again called 198 and this time again the customer care person cut the phone and also stopped the service. So in this i was deducted rs 20 for a single day for a service which i didn'u use nor activated. When i again tried to call customer care i was not able to do so as it was disabled by them. This is total fraud and dadagiri. This is not about the money but about the cheating. I feel cheated and helpless as they have openely cheated me and i can't do anything about it

My airtel no is. [protected]
