Airtel Complaints & Reviews

My Mobile No. [protected]

This is my lifetime activated prepaid AIRTEL sim.
I have not used it for few months.I got deactivated.
I want this number to be activated.
Since it was lifetime activated sim how can they deactivate the service?

Hello,This is vinitha koshy,I would like to bring to your kind notice that i've been using airtel prepaid sim since November 2010,and suddenly my outgoing facility have been cancelled today,as i enquired with the customer care,I've been told that i havn't submitted my documents yet,which was really unbelievable to me as i've submitted all my documents to airtel office kottara,Mangalore,and I got a verification call also. They also told me that my number has been given to someother person and the only solution is that i have to take a new sim.Then when i called second time to the customer care to report a complaint,the person with whom i had conversation told me that my number has not been recycled only the outgoing calls are cancelled as because i've not used my sim since last three months,I was using the same sim till today and how can it be possible because i've taken it in November.I was not informed about anything before this action has been taken moreover i'm not getting any reliable information from them.Now also i'm getting the incoming calls.Hope you will do the needful.
Regards,
Vinitha.

My name is Deepak Joshi and this mail is regarding not getting any solution
against my regular complain for my two airtel numbers ([protected], [protected]
Corporate connection), which I have been following from last one month. Concern
is that I had shifted from Faridabad to nearby Lagpat Nagar at( Prakash Moallah near Sapna Cinema, Delhi) on 4th December after shifting
their I had major network problem for which I had spoke to Airtel executive on
7th December and got assurance that my problem will be resolved as he had
forwarded my request to networking team and they will work on it and my problem
will be resolved.Complain/Request number[protected].



On 9th December I had called again to customer care for my other Airtel number
which is majorly in use and they gave me the same answer that it will be
resolved and this time Complain number was (F[protected].

Till 15th December their was no revert call from customer care center so on
15th December I made a call again to know the status of my complain but the
executive had assured me it will be definitely rectified till 16th December at
9:45am request no(F[protected].But as usual I didn't got any response I called
back again but this time I talk with branch manager and he told me to wait for
some more time till 24th December and gave me following Request number
was.[protected]

On 24th December I spoke to one more executive name Mr. Jatin and he told me
that within 24hours a Booster will be installed to get proper network with
following Request number (F[protected]

But till 26th as usual their was no response I spoke to Mr. Jatin again and he
gave me the nodal officer email id and mobile number with following Request
number ( F[protected].But till now nothing has been happened except killing my
time and money in calling customer care executives and taking complain numbers.

Till now I know Airtel promises to be the 100% network coverage grantee which
gives ads in print media stating it has 100% coverage in comparison with other
service providers, but now I am one of the victim of this called AIRTEL. The
company is very prompt in asking for payment, but not in giving service, once
the case is registered with customer care and stipulated time is given,the
complaint will be automatically closed with out taking confirmation from user
whether the service is been satisfied or not.

I dont know the company which has name and fame in the market has turned in
this way, but in case for payment the company will not even delay a single day,
to take extra charges.

I request you pls. resolve my problem either installing booster to nearby area
or giving me other solution for the same.

sir,
this is kumar shovit
connection no[protected]
sir,without my recommendation the bill charged from 15 nov to 15 dec is rs 1171 under the plan of 999.

provided is[protected]
sir i want ur serious work on the behalf of my complain .i am astudent and can't afford ur such nature.

if any sincerity is not shown by AIRTEL then i have to discontinue ur service as there is always a option
of broadband connection in the market.

thank you.this is just last attempt by me.i will clear ur aal dues and disconnect ur service.

thank you.

Got a fake call from pakistan [protected] stating that I have won some airtel lottery worth 25 lacs and need to call some other person to cash the amount.
I called up the airtel customer care and asked him to log a complaint against the same and provide me with a complaint number. After putting me on hold for about 3 mins the guy told me its a fake call and not to respond to such calls with your bank account number or passwords.
i insisted on the complaint number but he refused and said there was no process for logging such complaints.

Would request airtel to please start a board/ process for this or some awareness program; so that people are well aware of what can be happening here.

Hi Consumer Complaints Forum,

I want to report an ISD telephone call based fraud scam, which I experienced today. I received a missed call from [protected] on 3/1/2011 at 12:08 PM. When I called back at 12:09 PM, a lady (she said her name was Priya) said she was calling from Airtel Mumbai and told me that I have won a lottery of Rs 10 lakhs. I didn't believe in such lottery scams and suspected both the number and her accent (which was distinctly not from Mumbai, but was more like Punjabi) so I kept her engaged and asked more details.

When I asked her if she was indeed calling me from Airtel Mumbai, then why is her number starting with +92 which is Pakistan's ISD code, she explained that it is an internet based call that's why it didn't reflect the regular number. I laughed at her poor explanation so she asked me if I was interested in collecting the money. She asked me to call Branch Manager of SBI Mumbai (some Mr. Surender Pal Singh) at another number [protected]. Needless to say, of course I did not bother to waste any further efforts.

I request all readers to be careful of such callers and not to respond to such calls. And NEVER give out your bank account related information on phone, sms, email, or any other means. Such scams are called as blended phishing attacks, basically intended to fool the recipient into giving out their banking / financial information. The one in which fraudsters utilize telephone networks to cause frauds (such as this one) are specifically known as 'Vishing', more details can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishing

I purchased Airtel DTH for 1750/- on 31.12. 2010.
Installed on[protected] around 4.30pm
Customer ID : [protected]
Till now it has not been activated. I have given several complaints to Toll Free Number, email to Nodal Officer, Tamil Nadu and Email to Head Office also but no proper response.
I request Airtel to refund my money and collect their dish with setup box immediately.
This is highly unprofessional attitude causing monetary as well as mental trauma to me.

My mobile number is [protected]. I had requested for the activation of 2 GB GPRS using *567# on[protected] around 12:15 AM. My balance was deducted by Rs 98 at that time only, but i didn't got 2 GB GPRS balance till now. whenever i checks my GPRS balance using *123*10# it is shows "You have 0.00 MB left in your account. Valid upto 28Jan11".

For this i had complained to customer care on[protected] around 12:30 AM, they told that my problem will be resolved within 48 hours. After 48 hours whenever i calls them they says you will be get 2 GB balance within 24 hours, but not help till now.

I am a student so i need to access internet frequently on move, so please activate my 2 GB GPRS as soon as possible.

Dear Sir
I have requested to disconnect my Land line number[protected] in the month of Oct 2009 and got the request number[protected] from Airtel customer care toward disconnection of the same. Dispite of this Airtel keep on sending the bill till feb 2010. In the month of March Airtel ask me to pay 1900 Rs towards disconnection of the phone. When resistant they reduce the amout to Rs.690 which was again not paid by me as all disconnection dues were paid in the month of oct and same was confirmed by customer care excutive.
Last week we got call from airtel number [protected] pretending to be SHO at Tees Hazari court Delhi towards issue of non bailable warrants with an option to pay the bill before 1PM on same day i.e. 29th Dec 2010.
This is clearly a case of Mental harrasment from an unethical organisation like Bharti Airtel.

It been more than 4 days and I have tried my every bit of activating my Blackberry services from my Handset and have called Airtel Helpline almost 10 Times complaining regarding the inaction on their part to activate my services. I have even visited their Consumer center twice but till date no action has been taken. They had given me a complaint number RBBRY[protected] on the 30th December but now that has been closed with resolving the issue.

A message from[protected] came to my mobile and the contents were furnished below:
