Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir

With the disappointed with customer care executive, I would like to inform you that on 15.04.2010 I have subscribed the Hello Tune Khudaya Kher from the movie Billu Barber through the sms to 543215. But unfortunately another song has been activated itself only song name Ae aa o. Soon after receiving of the confirmation of this song I rang up to customer care centre 121 and talk with Mr. Deep Interaction ID[protected] for this regard. He told me within 4 hrs it will be solved. But after 4 hrs it had not been solved and again I rang up to 121 and talked with Ms. Aliva. But she could not handle my problem and disconnect the phone. After that I talked with Ms. Prerana Interaction ID [protected] dated 15.04.2010 at 18.23 hrs. After heard everything regarding this she told me to solve the problem within 5 days That is on 20.04.2010 and also i got the sms for the same. After 2 days on 17.04.2010 Mr. Vivek talked with me regarding this and he told me that he would forward the problem to concern department. But still 20.04.2010 Expiry of commitment to solve the problem the problem has not been solved and today 20.04.2010 I talked with Ms. Parveen about this and the same I will forward this problem to concern department I heard from her.

Sir the solving of problem for customer is 24 hrs and maximum is 48 hrs. But it is going to be 6 days; still the problem has not been solved.

Sir if this type of services will be provided do u believe that the customer will be satisfied. But according to me instead of satisfy of customer they will disconnect the number.

Sir kindly considers the above matter and do the needful for innocent airtel customer.

Looking for your kind support

With regards

Dear Sir,
I purchased Airtel DTH ( set top + 3 months free subscription ) by payment of Rs. 1750/- at Rajkot. Later I shifted to another flat in the same apartment & requested the company on its toll free number to shift my DTH connection.

The customer Care Executive told me that they have no service enginner for my area and suggested me to contact their dealer. I called Airtel & its dealer 3-4 times but they have not provided me any help & service. I had no option so I purchased another connection of Videocon d2h. Now even Airtel is asking me to recahrge my account. My complaints to Airtel are as follows :
1. When Airtel have no service coverage for my area, why they sell products to customers like me ?
2. When I requested Airtel executive on its toll free no., why he was not able to solve my problems ?
3. Why I was asked to contact other person or party ( Dealer ) when I am Airtel customer ( I had faith on Airtel, not on Dealer ) ?
4. Why I am suppose to recharge ( pay ) my account even Airtel have not offered me any service for shift and when I am not using Airtel DTH services right now ?

On the contrary I here by demand from Airtel to collect back my set top box and refund my money ( Rs. 1750/ -) which I paid at the time of purchase. Further I need compensation for inconvenience and problems I faced due to poor services of Airtel.

Thanking you.

Hi Sir,

I got Airtel DTH connection free with LG LED tv. And my airtel STB got activated by[protected]. I also paid 440 rs for four months subscription + 50 rs for Eng Add on pack + 82.73 for 6 months Ten Sports addon.

But, my STB all of a sudden stopped working from[protected]. I lodged a complain with id 2442374 on[protected]. And, I was assured that my problem will get resolved by[protected] evening. But, when it was not resolved I again called up customer care only to get a slot on Sunday morning with an assurance that my problem will get resolved by the latest Sunday morning. And I was also told that their backend team will call me up before coming to my premises. But, when nobody called me up I again called up customer care. Then they again raised a new complaint(my old complaint was still open) and gave me a new id : 2453940. And this time I was again assured that my problem will get resolved by Monday morning. But, even when nobody called me up in the morning I rang customer care. But, again they assured that my problem should get resolved by Monday evening. Finally airtel engineer called up from [protected] around 2:45 pm saying that he will come to my place within 30 min. In the meantime somebody from airtel called me up from the no [protected] enquiring me off the status of my complaint. On informing him that my nobody has visited my place he told me that he is checking into this and my problem should get fixed by Monday evening.
But, the airtel engineer never came to my place. I called the no [protected] at 7:30 pm on Monday and the guy on the other side told me that he will come to my place by 8:00. But, he switched off his phone soon after that.

Today morning when I called up the customer care giving her all the details given above she said that their engineer has missed the slot(could not provide me the reason for that) and the next slot available is on Wednesday morning. On enquring what happend to my previous slot for engineer visit she told me that she can't do anything as there is no slot.

My issue is not resolved yet. And the latest complain id given to me is 2460098.

When I called up [protected] today morning he started abusing me in Tamil and Telegu and said that do whatever you can and my problem will not be resolved.

Please help me regarding this. I don't want other to get cheated like me.

I will bring this matter to the Trai in detail to close down the airtel offices who are extending their wholehearted services to the airtel customsers.

One person who has claimed that he he is a close associative of Mr.Vinoth incharge of Ponneri airtel office is often giving negative reply to me. He is not interested to extend his wholehearted service.

They have demanded Rs.150/- to supply a duplicate sim. I have already prepared to pay Rs.150/- also with ageproof residentail prooft. They did not respond properly. It is

This is in regards to my Broadband bill that got generated on 23 Feb’10. It seems there is something grossly wrong with latest bill that got generated. I am disputing this bill for Rs. 8992.47 showing excessive usage of 8 GB over and above free 8 GB in the plan. For your reference, I am attaching a snippet of past month usage which clearly shows a clear variance in my usage pattern and this month’s bill, when there is no change have brought about in my usage habits.

Can someone please look into this and resolve the matter? I donot use internet to this extent that the download has doubled in a months time, which contradicts my past usage pattern.

My Air-tel customer ID -[protected]
I have purchased Airtel Digitial Tv in month of may 2009
within 1 year unfortunately the Remote control stopped working.
so for this concern i did call air-tel digital customer care number[protected] on many occasions to report the complaint regarding the same,and finally got the complaint number that is 241114.and at the very 2nd day i have received the Text message on my cellphone indicating that my complaint has been resolved.i was wondering that without any resolution they have closed the service request and the same day i have called air tel digital tv customer care for to ask them why did they have closed my service request without any resolution ,i spoke to the customer service representative,he said "we will dispatch you the on-site technician which will cost you 100RS".i agreed to pay the charges for the engineer visit,and engineer arrived after 4 the day by requesting him many times .and he has determined and diagnosed that the remote has gone bad and it needs to be replaced,and he has provided me the area managers phone number .i have contacted him many times for the same issue ..and he came to the conclusion that i have to pay the 150RS for the new remote control ..and im agreed to pay those charges also.and after that i dint hear any followup callback from them.i was really pissed off,so i did call the area manager once again requesting him to get the new remote on top of it he said that the remote control is out of stock so i waited for quite long span of time but still dint hear any callback,so i did call the airtel digital tv customer care for to get this issue resolved as soon as possible .i spoke to the customer care representative and he said you have declined to pay the remote control charges that's why we will not be able to give you new remote and that wasn't a truth i was shocked after listening to his false answer however i am ready to pay all the charges for technician and new remote control .the fact is they do not have any remote control in the stock.and they are making there customers fool by giving them the wrong information. so the concern is my TV is non operable without the remote control.so i would like to get the new remote on the priority basis

I got the airtel datacard connection in the month of December,2008.I took it in a scheme of 1yr.After December,2009,the connection deteriorated tremendously.But I continued for another few months.Then getting extremely disturbed with the connection,I requested to disconnect my connection.But the customer care told me to carry on with the connection and promised that the connection would be improved.But,that promise was a hoax as nothing improved.Again,I requested to disconnect the connection.The customer care people called me a hell lot of times and again asked me not to disconnect.But this time,I stick to my decision of disconnecting.Then they tried to lure with their several other schemes which I said no to.Even after this,my connection has not been disconnected after my repeated requests for disconnection and every month they are generating my bill.Why should I pay for something I am not using anymore?

Today (19.04.2009) around 9.45 Am i was check in my mobile Pre-paid account balance. there suddenly gone Rs.30.00. after few seconds i was found my mobile msg inbox there AirTel service provider already sent one msg. The msg Details like this" Your AirTel Friendz chat service has been renewed. Renewal charges Rs.30 for 30 days". But earlier and till now i am not request in this facility.

Without my request & my permission they are deducting this amount.

Now a days all mobile service providers earning money like this type. This is also like a theft.

Each & every mobile service providers have Laks of Prepaid connection. one time they will deduct this type without customer knowledge like my connection they will earnings crores of Money per time.

Finally Mobile service provider Asset & worth going up. customer Asset & worth going down like me.

Hi,

I am Ajay Sathe and my no. is [protected].

I am really dissappointed with Airtel. I am using Airtel Friend's sim card since last 5 years. I am using this card since my college days. Now I am working in a MNC. Though I get many cheap and attractive Corporate Plans from many operators in my company, I never changed my sim card because I wanted my phone number and Friends Plan to stay continued. But, today I feel like changing my plan.
Usually, I recharge my mobile with Rs.120, Rs.75 and Rs.60 vouchers. Today, I recharged my mobile with Rs.75 from Internet Banking and I found that my Airtel Friends Plan has changed to Normal Airtel Plan. I called up customer care and I was told that Rs. 75 wala recharge has changed my plan. The person from customer care gently said me that- "This change in Rs.75 recharge has taken place 8 days back and you should be knowing this." Now how would I know this without any intimation from Airtel? When I told him that I m doing this recharge since last many years and how can this change be done so suddenly, he suggested me that from next time, before doing recharge, I should call up the customer care to confirm about what recharge I am doing every time. He told me that now my plan cannot be changed back to my previous plan.
How can Airtel make such changes suddenly without any intimation to the customer? Or are these tactics used to kick out their Airtel Friend's customers?
I want to get my previous plan back or now I will switch onto some other operator. I know this wont make any difference to the Airtel, but I dont want to be with such a operator who are so irresponsible to their customers. And in addition to this, switching onto other operation will atleast give me some intelligent custormer care where I will get correct information everytime I call them. As far as my experience, Airtel has summoned the team of most irresponsible and fool customer care executives who dont have any proper and correct information to give to their customers. And on the top, they charge the customer 50 Paise/3 minutes for talking with their stupid customer care executives.

Please suggest me what can I do now?

Thanks.

My self Vikrant Swaroop, I m using Airtel DTH services from last 2 years

I had booked 1 Airtel Broadband service in the MO December 2009. Since then, I've hardly used it for more than 1 hr per day as the speed of the connection is as slow as a snail's pace. The connectivity is so slow that it takes more than 2 minutes to open up a complete webpage. As a result, I didn't use it for quite a number of days.But recently I received a bill for the MO February & March 2010 which amounts to around Rs 14,000 which is quite unbelievable as they claim to have given me a 50 % discounted rate on that amount. When I contacted them and asked them the reason for such a huge amount, they didn't pay any heed to my complaint and threatened me with legal consequences if I don't pay the bill on time . They also didn't bother to send me the itemised bill of the above mentioned amount, even though I repeatedly told them to do so.

Hence I've decided to sue them and file a consumer harrassment case against them. Requesting you to kindly forward my case to Consumer forum.

Dear Sir,

My mobile No. is [protected]

I have received a message from the Airtel, to submit documents as required by the DOT for verification. I have received the message on 23.03.2010. I have visited my nearest Airtel relationship center vapi (gujarat) on 24.03.2010, I have given my identity proof, but they also asked my photo. I have resubmitted my application along with all my identity proof with my photograph on 25.03.2010. The people sitting at the Airtel relationship center informed that, my documents will send today and mobile will start functioning from 29.03.2010. Mean while my incoming and outgoing calls stopped from 25.03.2010. regarding this I asked why my incoming calls blocked, the staff's sitting at vapi Airtel relationship center informed that, they try to start incoming by to today evening. when on 29.03.2010 my incoming and outgoing calls was not activated I have visited the Vapi airtel relationship center, they are try to avoiding and saying that, they can't do nothing. The DOT people will do in your matter. I have contacted 3 - 4 times Vapi Airtel relationship center, but the staff's are not maintaining their relationship with their customer. I have called the customer care several times they are advising to meet the vapi airtel relationship center. Till date they are not responding to my complaint nor giving attention.

When the Relationship people can't do nothing in my matter, when talking to Airetel customer care they are informing to contact nearest Airetel office, When Airtel can't do nothng, why they are collected my documents. Why Airtel given mobile sim when they can't track my documents or status. To Whom I to contact, to who I pledge my complaint.

What I do, I can't understand, as I am using only this mobile for the last five years.

My out going and incoming calls are not working. I am not getting any Response from the Vapi airtel relationship center nor the Airtel customer care.

Plz. help me to activate my mobile no at the earliest, as I am depending only this mobile no for my all contacts.

Thanx. & regards
