Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir,
I have taken an Airtel Prepaid Mobile No. [protected] one month back and submitted my required documents on the same day. After 5 days the no. stoped saying they have not received the documents since then I have been complaing to the Karsog office but they are not paying any attention rather they are saying that you take new connection. I tried to contact their Zonal Sales/Buisness Managers but they are not picking up the phones.The services of the Karsog office is disgusting. Please help.

We had installed Airtel Digital TV in january month of 2010. After expiring the value pack validity, when i recharged it, the STB is totally blanked & nothing to show. By contacting Airtel Call centre on 28/08/2010 and they told that your request will be resolved within ''48 hours'' but the 48 hours not completed till date. During this span of my busy schedule i contacted the Aitel Customer Care centre, their Dealer in Jamshedpur & Customer care Supervisors more than 50 times, Each time they informed & assured me that problem will be short out within 48 hours, but not................

Is any answer? For wasting my time & money on the FALTOO jobs.
Is this the way adopted by airtel to humiliate genuine customers and harrass them by charging them exhorbitantly evey week?

Hi,

This complaint is for excess amount paid for Airtel Mobile No [protected] and not getting refund of the same without surrendering the connection.

Actually I tried to make payment of my Credit Card of Rs. 6024/-. In the biller’s list there is Airtel as first biller (default selection) and while making payment, by mistake, I have selected Airtel and made the hot payment.

My monthly bill of Airtel mobile services is approx Rs. 400/- to Rs. 500/-.

I have called Airtel call centre, they are saying there is no option to refund the excess payment, only choice is to adjust it in monthly dues. As explained above, it would be remained there approximately for next one year. If I would pay short in any month then Airtel will charge late fee on the overdue, then why the excess amount can not be refunded. If it is a matter of 1-2 month advance payment then okay, but it is matter of whole one year in advance without any interest/extract facility.

It was my mistake that I accept, but there should be some provision so that if customer is asking for refund then that should be allowed.

Since it was a huge amount, I have surrendered the connection to get the excess amount refund. Due to this there is loss of my office working, personal network and daily working.

It is suggestion in term of complaint. Additionally, I want to re-acquire the same No.

Kindly help me in this.

Anand Singh

Hi everyone,

My self Dipesh Kumar taken a connection of Airtel Leased port in the Month of May 2010 of 2MBPS.Mr. Manoj Bagai was the sales person of the Airtel and he has promised the good speed and good connectivity, Due to its poor connectivity i decided to discontinue in the month of August and i had given the notice on 12th August 2010 for the discontinuation,but no body is ready to talk so i have mailed this issue to the Airtel and i have received a message that you concern will be sort out by 13th August 2010.But nothing has happened.Finally i have called some senior person Mr. Mathur who is the looking the top level escalation and several follow up and Finally got the disconnection on 28th August and equipment has been collected.Then i was worried about the disconnection letter.Again i have called the Mr. Mathur who has directed this issue to Anamika and she has written a mail which is as under:----
Greetings !!!!!!

As discussed this is to confirm that we have cancelled the leased line which
you were using in the above said account & your hardwares have also been collected with an o/s of Rs 19,303 which payable on 01/09/10 .

I fail to understand when i have paid all the rentals in advance why should i pay more.Bill have specifically mention that its from 1st september 2010 to 30th September 2010.But Airtel people still send me a notice to pay that.This is the face of airtel.See i have already paid the advance rental of the month of August 2010 and it got disconnected in the month of August only.Airtel people should refund the my 18days rental of August because i was not using the connection.Where as Airtel wants the bill of September which is not existing in my premises.See this is the real face of Airtel. So beware of Airtel.This is the master of sucking the blood of consumer.
I have written the mail to Mr. Mathur as well but no body is ready to respond:--
Mail copy is as under:---
Dear Mr. Mathur,
I have spoken you around 15 days back for my airtel disconnection (Airtel
Account number[protected] and you have given the number of some customer care
people.
,but you people are really disgusting and want to suck the blood of consumer .
See the below mail and my follow up for disconnection.Still i
am receiveing a call 5 times in a day for the September Bill which has been
disconnected on 28th August as per the mail of Anamika.Why should i pay sep
bill which i am not using.I had the paid the advance rental of the Month of
August while i have given the notice on 12 th August to disconnect the
connection.Equipment has been also collected on 26th August,2010.But you people
again asked for the money.Really you are the master of Harassment.Remember this
time we will not paid a single rupees .I am ready to face any case against
you.Hope you people undersatand the problem of consumer and update your
database for my cancellation .

So people donot go for the Airtel.This is my humble request.

I have raised req#50003911 to reinstall my digital tv within same pincode. however no one is attending my request. when i call the customer care, they raise a complaint and even then no one attends it. I was given a specific time slot for my request to be attended. i raised req on 9-sep and they have given me slot for 12-sep morning 10. however no one is bothered to take the request. this is pathetic service. if someone is given a slot and no one is bothered to attend the same how can they retain the trust of customers. and adding to this they claim to win customer satisfaction awards.

My airtel Post paid no.-[protected] which I have taken on 24th of july2010 after completing all formalities
its incoming and out going was suddenly blocked without any prior notice. I had already paid one month bill
of Rs 121 along with Rs 500 as 'advance' demanded by authorised Airtel dealer. My second month bill
is due on 24th sept 2010.. My no. was blocked on 8th of sept and till date no response has been given either from Airtel customer support or Authorised dealer .I have approached The authorised dealer many times and also called air tel customer support but did not got any reason for this.The message appear on mobile is 'SIM card registration failed' when i switch on my mobile.Also before
blocking my incoming and outgoing calls the outstanding bill showed around 1600rs which is inappropiate
and false. kindly take up this matter at the earliest as i fear that my no. and my documents may be
be misused by someone. The Airtel authorised dealer is- Agrawal communications of Behror([protected])
Airtel circle is Alwar under which it comes.My name- Navin Choudhary
My alternate no- [protected]

My Airtel Mobile [protected] EDGE connection stopped working at my home location since May 2010 (for past 4 months). Repeated requests to Airtel results in futile. Even Airtel Appellete stopped responding to my email requests. This is very frustrating and shows their disability to fix this problem & avoiding customer emails

Dear Sir
I have been using Airtel Digital (account NO [protected])for last 2 years
I had requested for 12 months mega rental in the month of January 2009 wherein my 6 months rental was in force and i was told repeatedly that the renewal can be done on request after expiry of current subscription
After lot of calls my rental was renewed for 12 months but not from date of expiry but before that
Subsequently I had deposited additional money in my account and ordered for additional top ups
I always ensured positive balance in my account and no time I saw negative balance
Few days back I received that my subscription is expiring on 11th September and I was shocked
I called helpline no of time and was told that because of top ups my account validity has reduced
How is that i do not yet understand
When i have paid full for 12 months mega pack rental and additional money for top ups and still I have positive balance in my account how can my subscription be reduced by 6 months
Now all my top ups have been cancelled to bring back my original validity as per customer care
Is it a fair trade practice?
I now fear for subscribing to top ups and thinking seriously to change to other service providers unless my apprehensions are clarified
I have been under stress for your bad customer support
Hope I will be addressed adequately ASAP
Regards

We have taken the DTH connection on 5th September from Total mall, Madiwala. The package was for 2560 and we were told that service will be free for six months with two south indian languages(Malayalam and Tamil).
But till now the service is not activated and we are getting the message that recharge should be done with the error code 6. Whenever I call up the customer care , service center and the dealers they are not responding and disconnected the phone too. Please resolve this problem as soon as possible.

Hi sir/mam,

i want to deactivate my frenzo service on my airtel connection [protected].
i'm being charged 20rs. again and again without being asked.

it's my humble request to look in to this matter.

Thanks for the support.

Robin Singh

I have taken a connection with airtel. Since then I have issues. I will get confirmation calls for silly reasons, however they have deactivated the service to my number [protected] since Monday. There is no intimation regarding the same neither by Call, SMS nor email that service is deactivated due to some reason.

Now that after speaking to customer care for 1 hour and escalating it to Bindu Supervisor on floor, she called the agent (Kavi - [protected]) and said that he would give me a call back after checking the status. I have submitted the document at HCL Perungudi office to Kavi

continues....

complete conversation:

Is there any way the service can be restored immediately. Since Monday evening Airtel disconnected the service and still now nothing is fruitful. I have paid the OS and send the soft copy of my passport (i have submitted hard copy to Mr.Kavi).

It is disgusting and disappointing that this mistake is done from Airtel, still the issues is not getting resolved soon.

I never had this kind of service issues with Vodafone and I am using this service since 2007.

Also the Nodal officer Nandini said that Airtel is not at all responsible for the Agents behavior. Kindly send me a confirmation email that Airtel is not responsible for the Agents behavior, so that i will make sure this type of issues does not repeat with my colleagues at HCL (Technologies/comnet).

I am struggling so much as I have given this number to every one or my relatives and colleges, if that I would have taken a new number and got service immediately.

May be these kind of issues disturb the customers and will give them an oppertunity to think of an alternative.

Accepting the mistake Airtel might have restored the service for my number [protected] immediately.


It seems I am being cheated by Ms.Nandini asking me to pay the Outstanding on the number and will be activated immediately.

I need some discount of compensation for the days that i did not had service due to negligence/irresponsibility of Agent/Airtel which lead to this situation.

Chandra Sekhar M.N.S

Hi Nandini,

As per our conversation, I have paid the amount and submitted a copy of my
passport to Mr.Kavi. Kavi has given me a new sim card and said it will be
activated. I would kindly request you to activate the sim card bearing
[protected]) with the number [protected] ASAP.

Already Airtel has barred my service since Monday evening till date. I would
like to request you to give me the rental back to me on prorate basis for the
days that I did not have service.

While in our conversation you have mentioned that Airtel is not responsible for
the agents behavior, so in this regard I want Airtel to make sure that Mr.Kavi
would not misuse my document.

If incase Airtel is really not responsible for agents deeds, then I would like
to have an acknowledgement email mentioning the same. I want every Airtel
subscriber in HCL (Technology/Comnet) to know this.

Thank you for your efforts to bring back my connection with the same number
([protected]).

Kindly get the connection activated ASAP.

I have attached the document with the acknowledgement from Mr.Kavi with the
date and time he received the document from me for your reference.

Hi All,

I have taken a connection with airtel. Since then I have issues. I will get
confirmation calls for silly reasons, however they have deactivated the service
to my number [protected] since Monday. There is no intimation regarding the same
neither by Call, SMS nor email that service is deactivated due to some reason.

Now that after speaking to customer care for 1 hour and escalating it to Bindu
Supervisor on floor, she called the agent (Kavi - [protected]) and said that he
would give me a call back after checking the status. I have submitted the
document at HCL Perungudi office to Kavi.

Miss Bindu assured a call back from Kavi, which did not happen. I have
called Kavi and he said that the copy of driving license that I have submitted
was not legible.

Either the backend team or Kavi has informed me about this in advance before
they disconnect the service.

I want the service to be activated right now and want someone to contact me and
collect the required documents.

In case of the service not restored by EOD, I would be more than happy to treat
the current unbilled amount as a discount due deactivation without any
notification and will not pay it.

your immediate response is appreciated.
My alternate number is [protected]

One more thing before close, Miss Bindu seemed to be little frustrated when i
was talking to her regarding my issue.

=================================
Now after 45 days long fight, i have decided to leave the old number and go for a new number. Now Mr.Kavi gave a new number ([protected]) on 09092010 and said will be activated EOD 9th Sep, which did not happen. Called Kavi and he said the above new number is booked by someone else and cannot be activated to me and gave another number [protected] and said it will be activated by 1600. It did not happen and i called Kavi and he gave his manager (Niranjan : [protected]) number to call and escalate.

Called Niranjan and he said he is not sure about the old number issue and will try to activate if possible as there are lot of pending applications and the activation is done at Delhi but not in chennai.

Now the Nodal officer Miss Aida , said she cann not helpe me on this as the information is not loaded with reference to the new number.

Now I wanted to know who is taking care of customer interests ? I found there is no use of Either Nodal officers or Appelete and TRAI website simply asks customer to contact these guys who dont have any authority to do any thing out of Box.

Service providers and Govt are on top of customer if there are any pending bills arranging Goondas to collect the money saying they are from collection Team.

Is there any way customer can get a satisified service in India?

Can you get my new number active ASAP and Take action on AIRTEL's irresponsibility and cheap service and no motto of customer satification.

Dear Friend

This is arun from Bangalore and am using Airtel number [protected] since more than 1 year.
I am extremely upset while writing COMPLAIN against AIRTEL BANGALORE that my problem has not been solved so far even after several weeks of sending again and again emails and making phone call on 198.

I am unable to call up any phone numbers of STD CODE 05661 (Sadabad, western UP) from Bangalore Airtel. I have checked and tried to call up other's Airtel number also but same problem and use to listen voice "All Channels are Busy, Please Try Later". One can check these numbers for your satisfaction[protected] or[protected] or just change last 2/3 digits of these numbers. Interestingly other phones of Vodafone or Relaince etc are working fine with all the numbers of that STD CODE from Bangalore.

This kind of problem has happened several times in last 1 year and last time I was told from Airtel one day that STD CODE 05661 was unknowingly got BLOCKED in Airtel Bangalore system. Again same problem has happened since 2 weeks but no satisfactory reply pn 198 calls and just FORMALITY kind reply on writing emails on [protected]@airtelindia.com

I am so much clueless that how can I convince that still I am unable to make any calls of any number of STD CODE 05661 from Bangalore?

Please rectify this problem....

Hope my problem will be solved

Dear Sir/Madam
My mobile no is [protected] west Bengal (Durgapur) sim.
I recharged Rs 98/- pack for mobile office (2 GB free serfing)on 05/09/2010.after that I got mobile office setting and abled to access internet service up to 06/09/2010 10 am.
After that when I reached Bokaro (JH) I was unable to use the mobile office service. When ever I tried to open mobile office service, it always shows "PACKET DATA NOT AVAILABE AND CHECK NETWORK SERVICE”. After that I removed that sim from my mobile and inserted another GPRS enable sim to check my phone setting. And I able to access the MO service easily. There was no problem in my phone setting. After that I again reinserted my original ([protected]) sim and tried to access MO service but I failure i.e. it shows "PACKET DATA NOT AVAILABE AND CHECK NETWORK SERVICE”. More than 20 times I contacted to your customer care. Every time they are taking one complain and giving me some times like 2 hours, 4 hours etc.every time they are assuring me that within the above time limit my problem will be sorted out. But till now I am unable to access MO service. Since last 3 days I found that your BLUDDY NONSENSE CUSTOMER CARE PEOPLE (DURGAPUR CENTER)not able to sort out my problem and some times they cut my phone also.BUSTERD CUSTOMER CARE PEOPLES (NAMES-DEPALI ,SOUMEN BANERJEE,BARUN KARMAKAR,DEVJANI,SWARUP)are sitting at hot seat to make foolish the customers only nothing else.

Please take serious action on this matter so that I can use MO service immediately.
