Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

I want to bring to your notice that we have been waiting for the last 1 week for someone to come and install the Airtel digital TV HD set top box at my place. I have been contacting the customer support group for the last 1 week and have received several complaint request numbers. I have spoke with at least 3 or 4 supervisors who have assured me that the Airtel engineer will definitely call you to install but no engineer has called in till date.

My Details:

Name: Sandip Patil
Airtel Customer ID: [protected]
Payment Date : 01/10/2010
Mobile No: [protected]
City : Ambernath, Dist - Thane

I would request you to please take some necessary action on this issue if they really care for their customers.

Regards
Sandip Patil

Dear Sir,



This is the 3rd time my captioned number has been debarred. I am not able to
understand why this is happening for 3rd time. Three times I have submitted
address and identity proof. My 4 other numbers in my name are working fine for
which same proofs were submitted ([protected], [protected], [protected] and
[protected]).



Please see my relationship we have got about 25 connections in personal and
factory name apart from landline and dish¿. Still so much harassment¿¿
approximately I am paying AIRTEL about Rs.20,000/- per month ¿¿¿ and this is
the way I get treated¿.



Please guide why are you harassing me.

Amardeep Bagga

My Airtel mobile number is 91-[protected]. Yesterday (05 Oct 2010) there was a call in the evening from an unknown number (Airtel call). When I attended there was a recorded voice for some ARYA EVENT. I don't know who is that fool Arya. It said on 15th we can call that fool ARYA. To participate in the event we should register. (Though I registered 'DO NOT DISTURB' so that I don't get promotional calls such calls are coming from AIRTEL). Irritated at this I cut the line. At night at about 2.00 a.m I received a message saying that 'Thank you for registering for the ARYA EVENT. You have been charged Rs. 15/-. When I never registered or sent any message how can AIRTEL charge Rs. 15/-. If AIRTEL charges Rs.15 from each customer how many crores of rupees they would swindle this way. There are so many consumer forums and there is also TRAI. Will they not take necessary action and AIRTEL pay back such swindled money and do justice to the customers like me.

I have a phone no " [protected]" from Bangalore . I am roaming to calcutta .
I have sent several email and my friend in bangalore called several times .
Airtel does not bother about customer and did not rectify the issues .

I have sufficient balance to make call and submitted the doc at Bangalore .

I here by like to post my complaints against airtel broadband and here is the scenario and the frustrations i have faced with airtel broadband and their executives
here is the scenario
as a normal foolish customer i wanted to shift my connection from BSNL to Broadband so i called their sales executives on 26th of sept they were very eager to come and collect the and also gave me the receipt without fail.
the representatives Mr.Gokul([protected]) assured me that the connection will be activated and the instruments will be installed in the next day
after 3 days i called Mr.gokul id couldn’t get any response after about 20 to 35 calls another representative picked up and he was not responsive enough and not able to answer my queries. after a long struggle Mr. gokul picked up the call and he said he'll take of the issue and he'll call back
in the mean time next two days went past. the representatives didn’t even bother to call. then i called him but the response was the same. if any of the airtel head officers comes to see this across kindly take actions towards your employees if this continues you might loose your valuable customers

Air-tel Chennai seems to be ignorant of a fair service to the internet users.
I have been facing lot of problems and being painful with the internet connection.
I have listed few issues i faced and waiting for a angel to resolve as there seems to have lot of server issues(database issues).

1. I have a plan o[censored]nlimited internet with 1MB speed until 8gb download and later will come to the basic speed of 512kbps.
- Since my billing cycle is every 25th of a month, the speed gets reduced to 256kbps even though i
wouldnt have reached the cutoff of 8gb download. Then i call up airtel to rectify/reset the same as the
new billing cycle from 26th which will additional 3-4days.
- Since it happened more than twice, i requested for a mail confirming the above incidents so that i
can forward mail to customer care about the previous download cutter issues and to resolve the
issue without much explanation, but the customer care told outright no to the request.

2. My internet connection continuously reset and none from Air tel technicians could resolve this and the issue is still on.

Hats off to Airtel's pathetic Customer Service.

Ref:- Further to my previous complaints on this website regarding Airtel Landline [protected]

Its Oct 5 2010, 2 says after the common wealth games. My Airtel Landline
stopped working on August 27 2010 and I registered a complaint for the same
on August 28, 2010.

I even wrote to the Nodal officer on Sept 23 2010, however no response as yet.

Recieved a call this morning from one Ricky Sharma ([protected]), Executive - Customer Service, who calls me up and asks me for details of my complaint as he has read my complaint on this website.

The strange thing was even after reading my complaint here he was not at all aware of the issue, after I briefed him on the issue, he says it all happened due to Common Wealth Games as there is some breakdown
in our area and it couldn't be fixed and will not be fixed until the games are over.

So, dear Airtel Landline & DSL, Management, Stake holders and Customer Service team, please answer the following questions for me, here:

Q1)- I registered a compalint on August 27, 2010 (Complaint no.[protected],
What steps your company took to resolve my issue for the period August 27 2010 to October 5, 2010??
During the interim I have recieved some text messages from your company claiming that my complaint would be resolved within 3 days (which is a statutory requirement under Trai's Consumers Protection and Redressal of Grievances Regulations 2007), however those were just fake claims as no actual effort to resolve it took place, otherwise as required under the same regulations Airtel would have provided me a notice of the same.

Q2)- I wrote to the Nodal Officer on September 23, 2010, however haven't recieved a reply from him as yet, why is Airtel not replying to my mails?

Q3)- When will this issue will be resolved ?

Please note, I would apprecite if instead of writing your standard reply that you have taken a note of this complaint and will work towards resolving it, if you can just answer my questions here.

Also, during the interim I have spoken to many of your executives in your call centres and your corporate office and everytime I am given false hope, so this time please be clear, honest and transparent.

The below is an email whic I had written to AIRTEL customer service.


Am writing this email with utmost disappointment and regret
about the quality of services being offer to me by AIRTEL which is the country¿
s best mobile and communication service. I am an Airtel Mobile subscriber for
the past 6+ years and after being thoroughly satisfied with your service I
thought only about Airtel when I found a necessity to have landline connection
at home with Broadband. All was well un till late July 2010



I had planned to relocate from anna nagar to Vadapalani in
Chennai and had placed a request for the same and the confusions started then,
My phone line was deactivated and then after so much of confusion and after
spending almost rs 60 talking to your customer service from my mobile
(escalations after escalations) my line was reactivated and then the connection
was duly shifted to my new address. This incident caused a lot of discomfort in
my mind and I began losing faith in your customer service.



Then yet again, by last week of August (around 29th) my wife
Gayatri ( in whose name the connection is) made an enquiry regarding
deactivation of Broadband services on the phone, she was informed that if the
broad band is deactivated my monthly rental will be Rs 499/- for land phone
connection only, on hearing this she ended the call saying that we will
continue as it is. I remember accessing internet at home on the 19th
septemeber. Then When I tried accessing internet on 27th September it did not
connect, I immediately dialed 198 ( because 121 services were charged) and
raised a complaint, I was shocked when the representative told me that the
line was deactivated based on a request made by me on 30th July (This was the
earlier issue which I wrote about in the previous paragraph), I clearly
explained to him that the issue with respect to July had been resolved and my
phone is working well and only my BBis not working. The representative tried to
transfer me to the escalation dept and eventually the line was disconnected.



I called back again and got connected to one Mr Moses, who kept
me on hold for almost 20 minutes trying to get my details and again the line
was disconnected. I again called back on 28th sept and spoke to a lady in the
escalations dept ( I did not write down her name) and she guaranteed me that I
will get a call back in about 2 hours time (the time made the call, was about
11.30 AM). As expected I did not get any calls until 19.00 that days and Mr
Lokesh tells me the same story again that my Line was deactivated based on a
request made by me in July ( I real fail to understand why Airtel is so
outdated in having records/data up to date) I clearly informed him that the
issue with July had all been cleared and its only my broadband which is not
working and I assumed that the person who answered the enquiry (around 29th
August) had incorrectly taken a request for cancellation. Mr Lokesh informed me
that the issue would be settled by 01st October.



I received a call from Mr Sandy ( Reactivation Dept) on 28th
Sept around 16.00 and he told me that he was calling me regarding reactivation
of my phone, to which I clearly informed him that it¿s not the phone, but only
my BB. He said he wanted to confirm my address and he started reading out my
old address ( Anna nagar address) which I had changed as of 20th august, the
phone was shifted by AIRTEL and I even submitted a copy of my new address
proof. I did lose my temper and was agitated about the response I had been
getting from Airtel with respect my simple issue of broadband not working, Mr
Sandy seemed to be agitated about my raise in temper than trying to understand
why any customer would be agitated. The last thing I spoke to him was ¿ You
have my updated address, locate it and rectify my problem¿ to which he said he
will do so, but am so sure he is going to close this case saying that the
customer is agitated and abusive



If there is one soul in ARTEL who is truly considerate about
customers, I expect quick solution to my problem, You can reach me on 98409
96461 for any additional information that you would require.

and i get an automated reply.....

Dear Airtel Customer,

Thank you for writing to us.Your request has been registered with us and your unique reference no. is[protected]. Request you to quote your unique reference number for future interactions. We shall get back to you within 24 hours.


As you would have guessed no one called. and teh persistent me the emailed again

To Whomsoever it may concern

The below email said I can expect a solution within 24 hours or at least some one would revert back to me in 24 hours, well it’s almost 4 days since I wrote the source email out to AIRTEL customer service under the assumption that my issue will be looked up on by a customer focused soul in AIRTEL. You guys are proving without doubt that you guys care a DAMN about your customers and all it matters is MONEY.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ONE THING VERY CLEAR TO YOU, I WILL NOT BE MAKING ANY PAYMENTS DUE TO MY AIRTEL LAND PHONE[protected] CONNECTIONS UNTILL MY PROBLEM IS CLEARED.

If the same is not cleared at the earliest I will be disconnecting my AIRTEL mobile connections which am using for the past 6 years and apart from that I will share my plight with my office colleagues who share CUG connections with me and am sure on hearing my plight they will also want to jump in to your competitors eager marketing executives.


And I WAIT to eternity..............

I have taken a new AIRTEL prepaid connection. They have offered 20 days free trial of Hello Tunes.I still did not subscribe. They have forced it on me by putting their tunes in between my calls. They automatically deducted the charges and when I requested to stop they again deducted Rs 15/00 for deactivating the facility.

dear sir,
I got my pre-paid mobile phone of air tel in july 2008. All photo, id proof was submitted while taking the connection. I received sms stating pls deposit / submit the same. why this is so? is there any facility to submit the same online?

however, i am submitted the scanned copy of my photo and id proof for your further necessary action

thanking you
santosh

I dont know if there would be any activity on this complaint but i am still raising my concern here because i am frustrated with the PATHETIC Service Provided by AIRTEL.
LAST MONTH I STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WHERE IN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO AIRTEL SIGNAL IN MY ROOM WHICH IS IN THE GROUNDFLOOR OF MY APARTMENT, NOT ONLY THAT WE DONT HAVE ANY SIGNAL IN MY APARTMENT. I CALLED UP AIRTEL AND LODGED A COMPLAINT ON 18TH SEPT 2010 (COMPLAINT N0:[protected] AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WILL BE FIXED BY 28-SEPT-2010 BUT TODAY ITS 5-OCT-2010 AND FORGET FIXING THE PROBLEM NO ONE IN FROM AIRTEL HAS EVEN BOTHERED TO CALLED ME TO CHECK MY PROBLEM. FOR LAST 15 DAYS THERE HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING DONE BY AIRTEL AND MY MOBILE PHONE HAS BECOME LIKE A LANDLINE AND I HAVE TO PLACE MY PHONE IN MY BALCONY TO RECEIVE SOME SIGNAL (1-2 STICKS MAX).
I THINK AIRTEL HAS TOO MANY CUSTOMER BASE AND HENCE DONT BOTHER ABOUT 15-12 USERS IN MY APARTMENT AND MYSELF ALTOUGH I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SAME NUMBER SINCE MAY 2006.

ITS TIME TO GO FOR A DIFF VENDOR.

sir,
i had booked one airtel broadband connections. Airtel authority promises to give the assured gift of reebok watch. but until now i never received the gift from airtel company.

My request Number for installation of BroadBand is 135938 which was registered on 02/10/2010. . The following instances could really mar their customer relations:

1. Without having called for one of Airtel salesperson Mr. Rahul Tek visited our premises with false claims that he would get us Wifi router for free, he will get the installation within a span of one day, your engineers are working till 11 in the evening so on and so forth.

2. On the above promises, the application was submitted on 26/09/2010, the application number being 237860. Since that day we have been behind them to get the installation done. We have to follow up with Mr. Prasad Juvekar, Sr. Sales Officer, Mumbai and Mr.Suresh Tek, Territory Sales Manager, Mumbai with no reply from their side except for saying that the installation will be done tomorrow where tomorrow never comes.

3. Even with the Customer Care, regarding the complaint which was registered on 02/09/2010 where I was said that the installation will be done maximum by 5:30 pm on 04/10/2010. The time was again rescheduled to next 48 hrs, which I came to know after giving a call at the customer care after the promised time elapsed and I did not receive any call. Further to my astonishment the time was rescheduled without giving me any prior intimation of the same.

4. I received the contact number of Airtel's Nodal Officer Mr. Sanjay Bhutani, who does not receive the call after having called thrice.

Hi,

Last Friday[protected] one agent named Arun ( his airtel mobile no - [protected]) came to my house (Krisnappa garden, C V Raman Nagar , Bangalore - 93) and said about Airtel borad band connection. I applied for a new connection with application number TBLR[protected] and paid 5k as advance for 5 months subscription for plan Browser 899 plan. He said technician and he will come and give connection by saturday . I was waiting for them . Now also they are coming . Did not get ! It was a big cheating with me. Now his mobile is switched off. I call airtel customer care. They said no such application is registered and no such person is their agent . Airtel took it as complaint But i dont think i am going to get back my money or connection . I am cheated.One strange thing is that why Airtel is not taking any action against such fraud. Please help me to get my money back and catch these fraud people with the help of airtel network and police.

HAD PURCHASED AN AIRTEL PREPAID PHONE CONNECTION WITH NO. [protected] IN JULY 2010. I GOT THE CONNECTION ACTIVATED AND VERIFICATION WAS DONE BY AIRTEL THROUGH PHONE. THE CONNECTION WAS WORKING FINE AND IN SEPTEMBER 2010, I WAS NOT USING THIS NO. FOR AROUND 20 DAYS WITH CREDIT BALANCE OF RS.200 (APPROX) STILL IN THE NO., THEY PERMANENTLY DISCONNECTED THE PHONE CONNECTION.

WHEN I CHECKED OUT WITH THE CUSTOMER CARE, THE CALL WAS DROPPED EVERY NOW AND THEN, WHEN I MANAGED TO SPEAK TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSISTANT , I GOT THE REPLY THAT THE NO. HAS BEEN RECYCLED AND WHEN I ASKED THE REASON THEY PUT ME ON HOLD AND THEN THEY DISCONNECT THE CALL. THIS HAPPENED QUITE FEW TIMES.

TODAY I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER AGENT AND SHE ELEVATED THE CALL TO HER SUERVISOR WHO TOLD ME THE SAME STORY AND TOLD ME SHE IS HELPLESS AND THE NUMBER HAS BEEN RECYCLED AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO GIVE ME THE NO OR THE MONEY IN THAT NO BACK.

PLEASE ADVICE ME WHAT TO DO...
