Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi My name Sudip,

I purchased one Samsung LCD almost a week back with that I got a Airtel DTH free as a Durga Puja festival offer pack. My TV got delivered on the very next day but AIRTEL DTH is no where to see.
I have neen talking to many of their executives ( not less than 15 as of now) to get my installation done. But everytime I call them up , I have to narrate my problem from the beginning as they behave like they know nothing and it seems that they don't have any database where they feed costomer feedback or concerns over an issue. But they do know one thing ; false promises. They keep on telling you that your problem will be resolved within few hours and also promised me many times that I will get a call back within few minutes for the confirmation. Unfortunately days passed away but no one from Airtel DTH have guts to call me back and update about the issue.
Can anyone imagine if this is the story before the service starts;what will happen once it's started running...My God such a bad division of Bharti group. Shameless and disgusting .......

Beware of Airtel DTH....Its a dump company.....

(KIND ATTN: HEAD OF CUSTOMER CARE STAFF)

Please go through the below mentioned mails.

With reference to our landline number: [protected] we need STD facility. Please unlock dynamic lock.

While we are trying to make STD call the automated reply says “to make STD calls unlock your dynamic lock”.

We are unhappy with the Airtel services since even after several requests the STD facility not activated and we are receiving false replies. Due to the customer care representatives irresponsible action and negligence we are forced to bring this issue to your notice.

Please do the needful.

Thanks and regards,

With reference to the case reference No: 38505558 Dtd:07.10.2010 we would like
to inform you that the problem yet not solved.

We need STD facility to our landline number [protected].

From last 5 days I am continuously mailing and even through phone intimating
the same problem even though the problem still existed.

While we are trying to make STD calls the automated reply says ¿ the phone got
locked and we need to unlock¿ without having STD facility how could we lock our
phone line. If it has got automically locked please unlock from your end.

Please treat it as urgent and important.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I had transferred my landline connection[protected] last month. after too much follow up, I was able to start my services after transfer. But yet i am facing problem like phone become dead for many times and issue is not resolved for many days. I am also having broad band connection along with it and it is also becomin down repeatatively. There is no mean o[censored]tilising this type of services. They will give time of next day for complaint solution but not done at one complaint.

Looking for reply in this matter ASAP.

Thnks

respected sir/madam
my self nikhil vyas, im from akola dist, at maharashtra,
i have buy a airtel friends2 prepaid connection before 1 month, the number of that sim is [protected].
but from last 10 days my all the incoming calls are blocked. im not able to receive any call on my this number but i can use outgoing calls.
im able to call but not able to receive any call. when someone calls on my this number the recorded tape gets played as"this number is temprorily out of service"
i contacted with the customer care of the airtel friends prepaid, but their customer executives are not responding me properly and i felt that they are not intrested to solve my this problem.
then i went to airtel distributor of akola dist. for my this problem, distributor given me a very follish answer for my this problem, he said that" we have blocked your all incoming calls because you are not receiveng our addvertise calls" and this not an valid reason, it seems clear that he was also not intrested to solve my this problem.
so want to complaint against airtel prepaid services, their customer executives, their distributors at akola dist.
and i request you to please take an proper action for this and please take me out of my this problem.

False promise.
Airtel DTH customer care is closing complaints without solving them.
Worst Airtel product.
Worst customer care.
I am having Airtel DTH connection( ID : [protected]). Nowadays I am not getting any signal so I called to customer care and briefed the problem. So he told me to do some basic sanity and correction steps. It didn't work. Finally he suggested me to book a engineer visit. I did the same on (5-Oct-2010). Since then I called them almost 5-6 time and every time I call they generate a new ticket and the worst part is when you tell them not to generate new ticket I wanna stick to old one they don't listen you at all. This way your complain remains always new and when you call again customer care ppl will say its one day old and expected resolve time is still left. This is the trick that you cann't have one day old complain. is not it gr8888888..... I guess Airtel is counting the performance of CSR blindly by no of complains he close or open. One of CSR(customer service representative) told me backend team closed the complain saying it is resolved. Thus both CSR and backend team of Airtel DTH is doing gr8 job to close all open issues. today is 10-Oct-2010 and issue is still on. Those guys tells all false promises and facts.
Initially when I was planning to buy DTH connection I choose Airtel because of good will. I thought after sale services of airtel will be better same like other products like mobile and broadband. DTH is no near to those. I guess other cheaper player of DTH is right choice compare to airtel. Airtel DTH sucks. Those who are planning to get DTH stay away from Airtel. All the best.

Dear Sir,

I am Capt R Chandra Shekar and I have subscribed Airtel Digital TV DTH Cust ID No ([protected]) services a year ago. I have subscribed a 170/- PM package which suited my requirement. A couple of weeks back i got a call from Airtel Digital TV network, they informed that they are offering free service of some (5-8) channels till 30 Sep 2010 and if i am interested then i can subscribe these channels.

The Airtel Digital TV without informing me has subscribed these channels after 30th Sep. when i came to know this last week i called the customer care to clarify. The airtel cust care executive is not able to explain why they have subscribed Rs 230/- PM package without my permission and they are not willing to revert back to Rs 170/- PM package and the are info me that they will be able to do after a week, i had called the cust care many times to address my problems, but they are reluctant to change my package and they give lame excueses and keep disconnecting my call or put me on hold for hours to gether.

I asked the cust care executuive to give the complaint No they are not willing to give any complaint Nos also.

as on date my package is not changed and the service provider is also not bothered call me and tell the progress on my complaint. I have atleast the time and technlogy to bring my complains to you, but they are many citizens who does not know how these people are DUPING them.

May i request you to initiate strict action against Airtel Digital TV network and put in place strict rules so that in future ordinary citizens do not suffer.

Sir,

I am using Airtel prepaid from 2003 onwards and now we all our family members are possessing FIVE airtel numbers. In our area (KALPAKKAM) earlier signal was very much good. Because of that we have got one by one (total Five pre-paid sims) airtel pre-paid sims to avail add-on and other facilities.

For the past 10 months we are experiencing about poor signal. In this connection, I have made complaints to Chennai Nodal authority and Tamilnadu Appellate authority etc. Their reply was simple. The signal has been verified and it is good, PL TRY WITH OTHER HANDSET. The reply irritates to us. We have all brands of costly mobiles (NOKIA, SAMSUNG, SONY, ORION). How they can simply say to change the hand set.

We are ready to buy the hand sets provided by airtel which captures full signal in my residence. My budget is upto 10,000 per set. Will Airtel give me a handset to me with full signal???????

In this connection, I would like to move to Consumer court. If you help me by guiding me, how to proceed to consumer court.

With kind regards,

Lakshmipathi

I recharged my Karnataka airtel for 200/- in Delhion 8th Oct 2010 at 8:07 PM. The transaction ID is:[protected]. My telephone number is [protected].However to my surprise only Rs 1 talktime was credited to my account. I tried The karnataka helpline [protected] for resolution but when the call actually reached the customer care executive, the line was cut repeatedly.

It is sad but the system does not deliver and there is gross deficiency in service and unnecessary wastage of precious time and energey. Does airtel really care about such issues?
