Airtel Complaints & Reviews

DND facility is activated on my Mobile no [protected] since 2008.
DND Reg no is - S[protected].
But I'm still receiving commercial calls, SMSs and Service messages.
I complaint in customer care several times but they haven't taken any steps.
My complaint number is : CDRGP[protected].
Infact after some days of registering the complaint I received a call from Airtel([protected]) saying that the problem has been resolved. But I still receive unwanted call and SMSs.
I'm highly disappointed by this kind of behaviour from such reputed company.
If possible I want Compensation.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Dear Sir/Madam,
This is to complaint about a recharge issue with number portability. I have lost some money due to this issue. My prepaid was ported from idea to airtel recently.
The problem is whenever I try to recharge my number online (which is often my mode of recharge), my bank account balance is deducted but no recharge is received. I have contacted airtel cc regarding this issue but they tell me that there is no such issue.
After googling a bit I have found that many more people are facing the same issue. Please do the needful as it is very inconvenient not getting a recharge whenever you want and on top of that getting charged for it. I hope the last thing airtel would want to offer a newly migrated customer is inconvenience.

Thanks.

Hi

me and my friend got airtel mobile numbers on the same day from koramangala branch providing all documents (without which airtel offices does not start applications) and got 2 numbers in december 2010 and now my firend got a call saying tat the documents are not submitted.we called the nodal officers which was useless since they just guided us to submit the documnets.we thought the problem is solved but again there was an sms saying "kindly be informed that we found ur name and address is not matching in televerification" which is poathetic since we have not recived any calls nor the address and phone number is wrong..The number is [protected],and its a great pain in undergoing everytime answering the calls from Airtel cc with no proper solution.Do somthng to stop ths number getting disconencted.t.The pathetic case is how does airtel maintains teh documents d othey burn it?? or sell it??cant they even manage this????dnt their computers are not programed to type a mble number and find if the doucmenst r sublited or not????they ask again a refernce number which we get after submiteing,if i get a number 3 years back ho can they xpect me to have that number stored n my brain???ver is the real service????

i called to airtel customer care around 12:10 am on 11-2-11, the problem was i hv to wait for half an hour to speak to a technical representative... They took half an ur to respond me saying that they were busy un attending calls... They mean to say that they are more busy in night than day... And after responding me his attitude was very bold....

I am not getting my postpaid bill for my mobile from last 3 months and nor even ebill, in spite of that I am making all payments regularly through mchek, this is a very bad service I am getting from Airtel Services.
Also on call to 121 their call centre number we are not getting any services and our calls are getting disconnecting without any information, they are making us in a hold for a very long time for wastage of our call charges and to avoid our call too, if this is the services Airtel provides then why 121 is meant for.
I think the best solution for Airtel services is to change the service provider since they are not capable of providing good services.

No Peace TV on AIRTEL DIGITAL TV DTH

Dear Sir.

This is Syed from Mumbai, i have requested airtel to add Peace TV on Airtel DTH, but they cannot.

my question is if they have any limitations to give all the channels why they told/advertise at time of buying"YOU CAN ADD CHANNELS AS YOUR WISH"

beacuse of their wrong endorsement i feel cheted by Airtel before buying i gone on brand reputation what they have, but i didnt get the service as expected.


Just i want to know the reason, because of buying Airtel iam not getting the channel i wish to watch but in my next door a local cablewala is providing.

now iam not able to judge a local cablewala is better or Airtel.

Regards

Syed

I am Vignesh - using [protected] (TN Prepaid no of bharthi Airtel). I am suffering a lot with airtel network. I am using this no more than 4 year above. i ever seen this type of irresponsible work as taking customer balance's & activating the VAS ***** service. I lost more than 200rs for this issue.
How ever, i given a complaint to cust care by dialing 198 & 121( charing unit). but i didn't get the proper response from Agent, escaltion team & as well Team leader. then i called to Nodal - escalate this concern. still, the service is getting activated without consent. Promised call back was not done.

Great Appelate was not interest to speak with me. they are just disconnecting the line.

Request you to take this issue to concern team.

I have alreay possted a complaint as shown below and also sent a mail to [protected]@airtel.in.
But everything in vain.From nodal officer whenever I contact I get an info saying that it's been escalated and ask me to wait for 48 hours.But nothing has happened so far.This is really cheating an nobody takes up the responsibility.When I posted this complaint in this forum I got an autoamted mail saying that I will be contacted for further details.That's all .

In short looks like I lost my 1000 Rs and Airtel is least bothered about customers inconvenience for buying their product.Is there any way of getting back that money atleast..

Airtel International calling card not working
On 5th Feb 2011 ,my husband bought Airtel world calling cardsworth Rs 1000/-
from Bangalore International airport.
Though the Airtel authorized vendor assured him that all of the cards are
preactivated but from Netherlands when he tried to use them,he got to know that
it's not activated.

I am just wondering how this kind of frauds can be happen from an esteemed
service provider like Airtel ! I would request the authorities to activate the
cards at the earliest.
We feel really cheated.

My contact i.d [protected]@yahoo.com.
Expecting an early response

DEAR SIR,
ON 07.02.11 AFTERNOON AROUND 12.30 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM AIRTEL CALL CENTRE.ONE GIRL WAS TALKING TO ME SHE WAS SAYING MY NUMBER SELECTED FOR FREE CALLER TUNE.YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED EVEN 1RS FOR 3 MONTHS.I SAID OK IF IT IS FREE. BUT THEY DEDUCTED 75RS FROM MY BALANCE.
AFTER THAT I CALL CALLCENTRE BUT NO RESPONSE FROM THE SIDE.
PLEASE GIVE MY BALANCE.
MY NUMBER IS [protected]

1. I have not requested to unregister from National Do Not Call registry. But the service provider has done it and I started getting promotional calls and SMS.
2. The Service provider is charging Rs 0.50 for a 3 minute pulse for calling the customer care for any information. This is actually their duty to provide information free of cost. Is this within the rule?

Please assist.
