Airtel Complaints & Reviews

My Customer ID is [protected].
on[protected] i reinstalled my DTH connection at new address. After installing the settop box was not showing sufficient signal level and quality, i told the service engineer Mr. Tinku mobile no. [protected] to get the signal quality improved. he told me that there may be weather problem, everything would be alright, and he may be contacted for any problem, if occurs. from the very next day the signal quality deteriorated. i called him so many times but he didnt respond.

since i was bust with my shifting, finally on[protected] i formally complained at cutsomer care vide complaint no.25664194. on[protected] the engineer came and concluded that the dish location is not correct and would be reinstalled. he told me that he has already informed his office and the same person would rectify the problem who has earlier installed.
i waited for full[protected] and[protected] no body turn up. on[protected] i again complained at CC vide complain no. 25731452. today its[protected] more than 8 days. my dish problem is not yet solved. EVERYTIME I COMPLAIN, A NEW COMPLAIN NO WITH 24 HRS TIME IS GIVEN
THESE ARE MY VARIOUS COMPLAIN NOS I HAVE DONE VIDE EMAIL/ CC ETC 25664194,
25731452, 25792568, 25813751, 25814735, 25815215, 25850329.
digital guys call for feedback only and i tell them the whole problem everytime i have told 100times the same thing to 50s customer person. everytime i call on their cc no.[protected] i had to wait for more than 30min with repeated call drops. calling to their so called senior executives is no vain.
ONE MORE THING, AIRTEL DIGITAL ARE CHEATERS THEY FRAUDULENTLY CHANGED MY ADDRESS IN THEIR SYSTEM ON[protected] SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE EXCUSES THAT MY ADDRESS IS WRONG. HOW CAN MY ADDRESS GET CHANGED IN 5 DAYS OF REINSTALLATION ONLY?
I AM FED UP WITH AIRTEL. AIRTEL SERVICE IS WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN. IM DISCONNECTING MY DTH AND HAS ALSO APPLIED FOR PORTING OF MY AIRTEL MOBILE.

UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO EFFECTIVE AND TIMELY CONSUMER COURT IN INDIA OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE SUED THEM.
I
CANT EXPRESS THE MENTAL TRAUMA I HAVE GONE THRU IN THESE 8-10 DAYS. WILL NEVER TAKE ANY AIRTEL SERVICE IN FUTURE.

sir, I was using Airtel Prepaid connection for last two years. I converted my connection to postpaid using same number along with six of my collegues with unlimited CUG. We submitted all relevant documents to your Excutive Mr.Abdul ([protected]) on 09 Aug 08. Our post paid connection were activated from 11 Aug 08.My Outgoing calls were blocked from 20 Aug 08. I was told by customer care that my Residential adderess was not correct. I submitted my Ration Card as my Address proof and my company identity card as my Identity proof which has my old address. The person who came for the enquiry, enquired in my old address. I informed customer care and to Mr Abdul who might have wrongly placed my identicard as my address proof in place of my Ration Card. Till to date both the sources failed to solve my problem even after i am ready to prove my residential address.When I contacted Airtel customer care, I was told to apply for new connection which is not possible at this moment as i used my No. for my profession. My business gets affect as i do visit Ships at anchorage were no other communication other than my mobile.There is no fradulant connection as i was using the same no. as prepaid, even you can take reference from my collegues who has CUG with me.

Dear Sir,
I purchased an Airtel prepaid sim at Cennai on the month of May, I subbmited all the document proof, after a few days the outgoing call blocked for the reason of resubmit proof and I also submit my proof again at Sholinghur, Vellore district Airtel agency on 16.07.08 Please clear this problem.

Hi

It is really very poor and pathetic service from Airtel.
On 18 Mar 2010 around 9:50 am i have received SMS from 54321 [Thanks for downloading Adorablebeauty from Airtel.You have been charged Rs 15.Mobile TV Watch IPL http: 10.2.34.47 OTA http: 10.2.34.47 OTA ) ] after this i have been charged Rs 15.Then i talked to customer care regarding this.

Complain no is [protected].

After registering this complain subsequently i have been charged Rs 110 in total.
Total amount 110 has been deducted from my Airtel account no [protected].
This billing is totally wrong and baseless because i have not done any downloading or surfing from my cell phone.
Due to this i have talked to delhi nodal officer Zeenie Chugh(+ 91 [protected]) .
But she was not ready to log any kind of complain even she told me that this is not a complain this is only clarification which she gave me.

I need my Rs.110 revert back otherwise i will go to your senior authorities.

Dear sir
This complaint is toward my post paid mobile connection and airtel. I had purchased a post paid connection from airtel, no is [protected].I have received a bill amount of 5000 on this , whereas my credit limit was 2500. I have been told that I was being charged toward my GPRS usage, but I was never told during the month that I was crossing my credit limit. Neither my outgoing was barred after crossing 2500 limit. This is fault and failure from airtel side not my side I already paid them 2500 rs and I cannot pay any further to this
So kindly look into this

Airtel Prepaid — Monthly deduction of Rs 30/-

Dear Sir/Madam,

My mobile No is [protected] & I am availing prepaid service.
Iregret to complin that you are deducting Rs 30/- every month towards subscription which I am unable to understand. I have never demanded for any such service.
Inspite of complaining for this on your customer service No 121 two months ago, the same is being deducted.
Please look into the matter & stop deducting the amount every month. For any clarity you may call me on the above phone or through email.
Your earliest reply awaited in this matter.

regards

sanjay rane

My mobile no. is [protected]. This is for the 3rd time, Airtel have deducted Rs. 30/- unnecessarily without taking any extra facility without taking any extra service. They just deducted from my balance. I have complained about the same so many times. I went to Airtel Gallary also but no body considered my complaint. They just gave false assurances but nothing was done. As i was regularly following up with the customer care, later on they stopped picking up my phone also. Now i am really frustrated with the customer service of Airtel. This is really bad experience i had. Now i am really planning to file a Complaint in Consumer Forum. The Higher Authorities of Airtel should look into it.

When i don't want particular service when i don't demand it or not even use it why i should be charged for that. This is nothing but Gundagardi.

I really want solution on it, otherwise i am going to file complaint in Consumer Forum surely.

Dear Airtel Users, I wont go up with your complaints. You all are subscribed for some (V.A.S.) Value Added Service. Dont get irritated. Just call 121 and talk to Customer Care Executives and ask them to take the Deactivation Request from their Side itself. Again the same problem is continues means dial 198, again not satisfied? Contact Appelate authorities.

Airtel — Automatically deducted Rs. 30.00

There are several service complain against the service of Airtel

1. Without confirmation and reason Rs. 30.00 automaticall deducted from my balance. It displayed Last call duration 0:00 call charge Rs.30.00 bal. Rs.2.40 Validity 11Jan11... on 27.06.2010 @18:30

When I talk to local service provider center they told that positively I press something for downloding, but it not so. I am using Nokia 1111i and no GPRS & net service

2. My scheme automatically transfer to 1p/sec and if I send sms to 405 for plan it reply that description not available.

3. All most every day when I try to make a STD call to my native kolkata from Pondicherry it say all the lines in this root are busy.... I have to try at least 20 time then I may able to connect any call.

4. Daily at least 10 call & 10 sms I have to attend for Airtel add

5. For the past 10 years I am using Airtel only, but last 2 years the service in terms of tarif, charges, bal deduction is very poor and simply they are ignoring the fact.

for this kind of mishap once i change to new connection and same thing is going on now also.

Earlier also I made complain, but either nobody responce me nor it has resolve.

Bharti Airtel Ltd. — Unauthorized deduction of Rs.30/- every month

Despite filing complaints, Bharti Airtel Ltd. is deducting Rs.30/- from my pre-paid account ([protected]) balance. I have not subscribed for any VAS, while calling customer care customer care executive told me that the Airtel Live service gets activated automatically and if customer doesn't unsubscribe it automatically it remains active. I requested him to unsubscribe all VAS wrt my account and he had made sure that he unsubscribed all VASs, still Rs.30/- got deducted from my pre-paid account. This is highly unacceptable and sheer loot.

Bharti Airtel Ltd. (Mobile Services) — Unauthorized deductions from prepaid account

My airtel prepaid connection particulars are as follows: MSIDN(Tel.#.) [protected];
[sim[protected];
IMSI. [protected] / 10 Jan 2008]
Current Balance (as on 23 Feb. 2011) INR 369.81; Expiry 17 Sep 2011

A fortnight (or so) ago, my balance was over INR 500.00, and the cost the legitimate services that I have since used does not exceed INR 25 or 30. The company has been deducting charges in respect of entirely UNSOLICITED "services" like "KingfisherGirls' calendar", "Comedy zone", etc.

I have NEVER used these "services", nor do I ever intend to use them in my lifetime.

Even after my explicit UNSUBSCRIPTIONS from these nuisances, this company has been making UNSOLICITED "renewals" against them!

I request you to prevail upon the company to make proper amends to these nefarious practices by rolling back all the deductions made so far towards unsolicited "services", and bring back the balance held in my prepaid account to nearly INR 500.00 (as it would have been without the unauthorized deductions).

AirTel — DEDUCTION OF RS 30/-

SIR
ON 17 MAY 11, AIRTEL HAS DEDUCTED RS 30/- WITHOUT ANY HEGITATION AND STARTED CHAT SERVICE WHICH I NOT DEMANDED MY CELL NO IS [protected].. HIS CUSTOMER CARE EXECUTIVE HAS VERY RUDE TALK . TWO TIME HE HAS CUT MY PHONE CALL BUT ULTIMATELY I GOT MY COMPLAIN REGISTERED. PLEASE STOP ALL SUCH AXULAIRY SERVICES. AND GET MY MONEY BACK IN MY ACCOUNT. AIRTEL IS BRAND AND BRAND IS DOING THIS WHICH TOTALY UNFAIR. PLEASE DO NEEDFULL.

Hi,
I totally agree with Yuvraj. I am facing the similar situation. My scenario :-
I am airtel broadband customer from last 2 years, I recently shifted my home in pune then I raised a transfer request with airtel on before said date, initially they deactivated the connection within 24 hours as against the date I mentioned was some 5 days after, due to this faced lots of trouble as I have to do lots of other follow ups.
After this when I shifted to other place then I was contacted by other airtel person he suggested me that instead of transferring the connection I should go for new connection as this will save me transfer fees and all.

So trusting that guy I applied for the new connection and raised a request for deactivation of old number.
Now after one month o[censored]sage I started receiving bills for my old number also on my new address.
I contacted customer care on multiple occasions and they assured me of some action.Now this complete process took them about 2 months more and in the meantime I continuously received bills for old number too. Finally I wrote them on there email and for my surprise I got a response that my request of deactivation is being processed as of that date and I have to pay a bill of some Rs. 3500.

Then I wrote them again with all the details asking for proper facts and proofs.
a) That my old number is never been connected my new address.
b) How can they activate two numbers on single line?

Surpise after surprise ... I have slapped with a advocates notice to pay Rs. 3500 bills on the number which never got connected to my place also they have mentioned that I need to pay additional Rs. 500 for that notice.

I just want to ask what action I can I take to ensure that I am not being harassed by airtel.
Whats the legal framework I can work within to make sure there is no exploitation done to me by airtel.

Now my only concern is after all that is happening in our country all the scams involving telecom companies and there malpractice's working against national interest and inflicting such huge losses to country, the only thing remaining is these corporates robbing you of with your hard earned money using the instrument that were created to serve the citizen's of this nation, twisting the law and finding the loopholes.

Hopefully anybody reading this will search there soul and give a thought, whatever happening to me today can happen to you tomorrow.

And if you are the one working with Airtel today and thinking that I am some over-reactive fool then give a thought also that this can be done to you or to your family by some other company and may you not feel helpless and harassed as I am feeling.

Bharti Airtel Ltd. — Discontinuance of Prepaid Mobile Connection with Life Time Validity

I purchased a prepaid mobile connection in Rohtak, Haryana (India) from Airtel in the year 2007. My phone no. is [protected]. Thereafter, I got the same converted into lifetime validity by paying a sum of Rs. 495/-. In the month of April 2008 while roaming in Uttar Pradesh (India) I got the same E charged from Bareilly on 27.04.2008. However, after one or two days of the same, my number stopped working. On enquiry from the Airtel's office at Rohtak, Haryana, It was informed to me that as I have not used the phone for a long time, the services of my phone no. have been stopped by the company. Whereas, my connection was with life time validity and the I was using the phone on regular basis. If I was not using the phone, than why the company accepted money from me for E recharge on 27.04.2008. Moreover, when the phone was used on 27.04.2008 itself, there is no ground to stop its services after that date. I request you to kindly take-up the matter with the co. and to reinstate my no., else I would take appropriate action in a court of law.

BMS Bhatnagar.

AirTel — Deactivation of mobile

I had a pre paid life time mobile connection numbered [protected]. At that time when i purchased i have submitted a copy of the pass port which is a valid identity. I am residing in Dubai and whenever i come to India, I use that number. But now it is deactivated saying that i have not used it for a long time. I had a credit balance of around Rs.500/- on that. I have talked to customer service executive of Begumpet center ( Ph no[protected]) asking him the procedure for activation. He expressed thet it is not possible since the number has already been allotted to someone since i have not used it for a long time.
If so what is the meaning of lifetime SIM card? Why i was not informed that the number is deactivated? What happened to my credit of Rs 500/-.
Pl help me to get that number activated. my e mail id is [protected]@yahoo.com
