Airtel Complaints & Reviews

This is Dr.Varun (mobile [protected]) from Velachery, Chennai. I had booked my connection for Airtel Impatience plan 1399 about one and half weeks back. I never wanted a connection from airtel. I already have 2 Reliance broadband plus data card. Just for the sake of tariff I enquired in just-dial. Then i received a call from this number[protected], claiming to be airtel exclusive showroom. They persuaded me to buy a new airtel broadband connection. I agreed and paid Rs.500 deposit. They promised me to provide the broadband connection the next day itself. It has been more than a week and still no one has turned up to install it. This is a big fraud on the customer. That too on part of an airtel exclusive showroom. I either need my money back or I want the connection to be installed at the earliest.

this is to complain against Airtel prepaid , my no [protected]. iam using this number for last 4 years and this year iam facing problem every 2nd or 3rd week . the problem is if iam dailing any one's number the reply from sevice provider states that the number is busy dail after sometime. i tried all alternative even i changed my cell bbut the problem is same and this remains for 2 to 3 days . i gave customer care complains atleast 11 times and nothing works out the same problem iam facing today and iam fed up of this service and iam changing the service
Iam not Happy with AIRTEL

Dear sir
I have an Airtel prepaid Number [protected]. I am using this number from approx last three years. In the month of sep.2010 I re-submit my document at Mani Majra Airtel office. On dated Dec 1st. My sim card shown registration failed. I approached to Mani Majra office again and they issue me a new sim card. Every thing is fine and on dated 16.12.2010 I received a call a person claimed that this number is parched by him, I am shocked for a movement. I am immediately call customer care and executive Mr Alok told me I cannot give any information about this number that who is the user of this number, I told the issue to him and then he told me according to Airtel record SALINDER SINGH is the user of this Number.

On dated 18.12.2010 my sim card become registration failed again. I immediately approached to Airtel office, where I met Renu and told the whole story, who told me your sim is swapped from Amritsar Distt. She advised me that if you swap the sim he can again swap this sim on DDR copy. I am very surprised that only a DDR copy company can swap sim, not collect person’s identity card and whose name number is currently is working. I do not know the person who is swapping my sim against my number. He is clearly told me ''AGAR MAIN IS NUMBER KA ISTEMAL NAHI KAR PAYA TO TUMHE BHI NAHI KARNE DUNGA''.
SIR, kindly check this matter, I have waste my time and money. If any other advice kindly contacts me at this e-mail because my number is swapped by some another person and I do not want to purchase a new number.
Kindly do the needful.

Dear Sir,

I have prepaid connection of Airtel and the service for Health Tips and friends Chatz has been activated on my mobile phone without my consent. For this Rs. 60 (total) is being deducted every month.

Hi,


I have a airtel DTH connection in the name of Bidyot Bikash Borah and my account no is [protected]. I have shifted from arjun nagar, delhi to Pandav nagar, delhi. From 16th Dec I am calling customer care to provide me a new dish and reinstall my settop box (old set top box is with me) but all in vain.

Customer care people are saying to submit amount to my account and engineer will visit my place with dish. I deposited cash in my account but now engineers are calling me and asking me for cash for the new dish and reinstallation.

Customer care people are asking me not to do that and they will send one engineer. But for last three days no one visited my place for the same.

Kindly do the needfull as i am pissed off with the customer care and engineers and cannot see any other way out.

Dear Sir,
I have air-tel D TH service. I had 160/RS monthly plan.In September, I rechage my account with 500 Rs.mean while I went for touring for few days. when I came back, I got a SMS about my negative account from company. When I contacted to Customer Care,I came to know that,my plan was changed in 260/Rs.
Company has changed my monthly plan without my permission and pre- information.
Sir,
I think it cheating with customer, If we have prepaid account,it Dose not mean that the company has right to steal money from customer account.

I got this message in my airtel pre paid connection in Bangalore.

Thanks for downloading Game Pack from Airtel. You have been charged Rs 1.

I contacted customer care number 121 and talked to them for minutes. Initially they repeated statement saying that request came from my mobile number ( I said I dont go to Airtel Live, the only point from where these service are activated). But I pointed out that the same deduction happened on 13th and I stopped all value added services (including FnF, I never opted for this by the way). They confirm this on 16th of Dec. But the same message again came to me on 18th Dec at around afternoon. I called them and in the end they raised a complaint to look into this (Rovad[protected] and told me that they would revert in 2 days. I already spent 3 Rs for this complaint for my 1 Rs deduction.
I am sure they are deducting easy money without customer knowledge or consent.
I started noting down my balance and the outgoing calls and SMS to watch the deductions happening in my sim.
Equation: Randomly enable services and deduct money from customer. For most services, there is no operational costs for Airtel. But even if they get 1 Rs each from each customer (100 Million now!), it is easy 10 Crores per month to Airtel. I know they are doing it to keep them running in telecom industry.

My name, number, address can be fetched from the complaint number for your further action.

Dear Sir / Madam
My Airtel Fixedline no. is[protected].

This no. is in name of Mr. Harish Chand who is visually challenged person. He was getting 50% concession (given to visually hanicapped person) in rental for last four years.

last year this concession discontinued on this number. We contacted customer care and Person from retention team assured us again n again (since jan.10) that this concession will be reactivated on your no. but till date situation is same.

With reference to our latest conversation with Ms. Manjeet Kaur on 11.11.10, we again got assurance that this concession will be activated on our no.
and she told us to submit Handicapped certificate to airtel office. We visited to airtel office but representative denied to accept the same and Till date we are getting no concession.

Yesterday , all facilities had deacivated from our no. without informing us.

I request you, plz look into matter and help me to get proper solution and compensation for false assurance.

Dear Sir

I am a paid costumer of Airtel Broadband service since last month (15nov) and the connection was working good in the first week. But i am regret to tell that on 26nov at 4:30pm approx I found that my downloading speed has been disabled and after an hour I found my connection dead. So I registered a complaint by dialing to customer care number. He ensure me to solve the problem within 24 hours .But the problem was not solved.Thus after two days I again talked to the customer care and asked for the actual problem ,but he was unable to tell me the problem and advised me to visit the customer care center near my residence.
So after 7 days I went there and registered a new complaint and asked for the problem then he said that this connection is bared from Delhi by mistake and advised me to wait for 2 days.And now the condition is too poor,in the center (at Ganga Nagar,Meerut) everyone is ignoring me and my problem.I was provided 4 service request reference no.they are :
26th nov. 40240402
28th nov. 40292984
3rd dec 40490708
6th dec 40582452
Actually,I am a web designer and started a new project which is very important for me and my carrier.But due to this problem I have to suffer a lot and have to spend my money and time in cyber cafe.
So its my humble request to take necessary action and provide me that service for which I have actually paid because you are my last hope.
Thanks for your time

My full details of this connection are:

My no.is [protected].

From past 2 days, i.e, 16th and 17th Dec'10, my account is getting debited Re.1/- saying "Thanks for downloading Airtel Game Pack". It seems I've activated some hungama game pack which I've not done at all.

Enough is enough.. cut this crap..., I've using my airtel connection for past 5 years and I very well know which services I've activated.

Moreover my calls are not connecting to 198. Whenever I call to that no.. some music plays, then it asks for the option, and when I select option for raising complaint, it says use *121# and disconnects...!!!!

I want these issues to be resolved ASAP.

Bharti Airtel.... this is definitely not the way to do busniess, please show professionalism and maturity or your're definitely gonna a loose a customer.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am having Airtel prepaid connections (Mobile No. [protected] & [protected]).

On 15/12/10 from Airtel Company I got a call from Nos.: [protected] & [protected] regarding lifetime prepaid scheme as below
Scheme: Lifetime scheme upto 2032, 200 minutes & 200 SMS free for every month. Above 200 minutes Airtel to airtel-15 Paise/minute, Airtel to other-30 Paise/minute, Airtel to STD-50 Paise/minute & Free calling to above nos. from each other.

Afterward Mr. Qureshi Airtel Executive came to my home at evening and after taking Rs1000/- (2x500/-) he gave me the customer copy (Customer relationship form) bearing Serial No. 146713 and told me that I will be receiving a call for confirmation from Airtel office where I have to say the above serial No. after which the scheme will get activated within three hrs.

Today it is 17/12/10 but no such scheme has been activated and when I ask Airtel customer care they said that no such scheme is there with Airtel company.

So will you please look into the matter so that I will be highly grateful to you.

Hi
i used airtel connection long back and i disconnected it .now nov 2010 i planned to reconnect it again .but they ask me charge for installation.I said it has been installed already so that charge is not neccesary .they said i have pay activation charges then . I was told by airtel like nothing i need to pay while reconnecting thats why i allowed them to keep that dp box on my premises after disconnecting also,but today they were not ready to do that service for me .but they were using my premises for the past 12 months without paying any rents .i called custmer care so many times to remove dp box .they were not so responsive and i mailed 121airtel.com and also ,no reply till now . Airtel was not providing service to me but they wants to enjoy service from me at free of cost (note:im the first person got airtel connection in my places,so the entire new customer are getting connections through my junction box)

thank you

i am costomer of airtel mobile
i am use airtel mobaile last 4 year but airtel servic e not not good
i am geting daily mobile unbill amount thrue sms

that time i am not use any std or gprs
i am try to complet to help line 121 but they not given me proper responce

I called Airtel 543211 to choose song, they are playing songs, but they are not giving chance to select that song and wasting our valuable money. I called so many times and lost money.

Previously I used this option and selected songs. Now, every time I calls they are playing songs, but not giving option to select song and asking us to type 9 to spend 3 rs per minute to discuss with their executive and he is not in a position to give that particular song, he is asking us to go here and there. It is completely nonsense, AIRTEL service is useless.
