Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

on the date of 25th of January my bill was generated. I wanted to close the airtel connection.
on 30th of January, I went to airtel gallery and payed my entire due amount and placed a request for closing the connection. They took an alternative number and said we will place your request.

I Got a call from their side. As i wanted to close the connection, since it was of no use to me, i objected for any sort of deal. But they kept on presenting deal one after the other. Finally they gave me this deal.

My number will be transferred from postpaid to prepaid lifetime incoming number. I agreed upon that.

But the change was not done.

Also I got a mail today saying my bill has been generated for the month of february.
I dont understand even after placing the closure request, how can my bill be generated.

I am charged 174/- in the months bill as per the rental.

My number is [protected]. On 14th January, I had made an online payment through credit card for the amount of Rs.705. However, this transaction is shown to have been conducted twice in the credit card statement and in my online account with airtel. Therefore, the total payment made by me on 14th Jan is of Rs. 1410. I was told by my the local airtel office to log on to www.airtelindia.com but this website does not exist; www.airtelindia.in is under construction; Further, dialing 121 is no use as there is no option in the computerized message played to speak to the customer care representative. Therefore, I am lodging a complaint here and I request you to please deduct Rs. 705 from my payment due for the month of February.

AIRTEL IS A BULL COMPANY AND THEY ARE NOT BOTHERED ABOUT THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

THEY ONLY TELL THAT THEY CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS, BUT AIRTEL IS AN IDIOTIC COMPANY AND THEY DO NOT BOTHER ABOUT ANY CUSTOMER.

THEY JUST DISCONNECT THE MOBILE CONNECTION WITHOUT ANY VALID REASON AND THEY PLAY WITH THE CUSTOMERS.

IDIOTIC BEHAVIOUR AND IDIOTIC APPROACH OF AIRTEL.

AIRTEL PLAYS WITH THE CUSTOMERS AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY ETHICS.

BLOODY IDIOTIC COMPANY IN INDIA. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY ARE NUMBER ONE, BUT THEY ARE NUMBER ONE CHEATING FRAUD COMPANY. BE CAREFUL WITH AIRTEL, IF YOU ARE THE NEW CUSTOMER.

THE NO. 1 WORST COMPANY OF MOBILE SERVICES IN INDIA IS AIRTEL.

I took a connection with a one year rental (rent rs 699 of one year) plan with airtel.
Everytime I had payed all the bills on time. When one year was about to complete, I asked Airtel customer care to dsconnect the service as I wanted to take other subscriber with lower call rates. But instead of disconnecting, Airtel changed my plan to Rs 300 rent per month with same high call rates.
Because of this I again called customer care and told that I will not pay the bill if the rental was not deducted and disconnect the connection but they did not disconnect it for next three months.

Now, I am getting abuse calls from a person called Deepak with number [protected]. Who uses false language and tells me that if I will not pay the bill then "wo mere poore khaandaan ko court main khasitega" etc.
I am still ready to pay the bill for call chrges but not the rental and late fee.

I stay in a town called surathkal in Mangalore . I have applied for Airtel Broadband connection and they tell me that my house is out of reach of your services. Sad thing is that my home is about 100 mts from surathkal where Airtel is available. My house is in a residential area with about 50 to 60 houses and it bothers me that I can’t get your services in such a residential area. So rest a shore I will not stop calling u people until u get me the service or give me a better reason then one u have given about my house is few meters two far.

I m a prepaid subscriber of airtel from mumbai region.I just wanted to complain that i am getting very less signal reception at my place even i stay at 6th floor and at 5th floor i am out of coverage area.So i am missing many important calls because of this .Other service providers like idea,vodafone,aircel,loop,tata are providing full network at my place and even on ground floor,so whats wrong with Airtel ? I am requesting airtel to build a cell phone tower near to our place as soon as possible,otherwise Airtel would be loosing 20 prepaid subscribers from my society.And also GPRS speed is wrost in mumbai region.I am providing my address and contact details below..Dont try to contact on given cell number because i have kept it switched off.

Dear Sir

I had a complaint about wrongful Charges, my mobile no. [protected], and on that matter I had contacted to customer care about the matter, with ,Supervisor named Ms. Kinjal Mistry, she had misbehaved with me like anything.
She had deny to transfer my call to Manager, and on or above that she had told me that "i would not transfer your call to manager and even you will not get any refund, what you are asking for.
I am highly unsatisfied with answer giver by her.I want a written appology from Ms. Mistry.

You can contact me about this matter on [protected].

Hi,

I recharged my prepaid number [protected] with Rs.200. I was not informed that the recharge will expire in 30 days. No extra/lower call rates were provided. The amount is credited to a "dedicated account" by Airtel without the customer's permission.

I do not receive a automatic message of balance left after every call and I have to dial *123*4# to get my balance.

Even the Airtel call center people did not inform me about the scheme where Airtel forfeits the amount after 30 days. I lost close to Rs. 150 because of this as I did not utilize the balance.

I want to lodge a complaint on unreasonable forfeiture of customer balance by Airtel. Also the sales is being done without informing the customers.

Thanks much,

I am using airtel as my mobile connection service provider.. I am really fed up with the services.. But as its my bussiness no I am not willing to close my account.. Artel is cheating people as they are deducting the amount from pre paid accounts without any information.. They call it as AUTO SUBSCRIPTION.. Which the people are not aware about.. I called up the customer service for the enquiry ( WHICH IS ALSO CHARGABLE AS 50ps Per 3 minuits.. Very poor cust service said that they can not refund the amount back as i did not informed them within 24 hrs of subscribtion.. But i never got any notification for the same so I never thought of calling the cust service.. The advisors from the customer service are pathetic.

hello
i am navin mohurle and my mobile number is [protected]
I recharged my phone with rs.89 on 6 th of january for gprs usage where i was told that i can use 100 mb in day time and 2 gb in the night.but on 28 th of january,at 6 am in the morning ,you deducted my download from my daytime usage which was around 36 mb and also deducted my whole balance which was around rs.23.And when i complaint about it at my nearest airtel relationship centre at Nandanwan in Nagpur,they refused to help giving excuses.
So i request you to please refund my balance at least which was deducted due to the billing error.

I first of all would like to thank you for taking quick actions as i'd posted a complaint some days before..
The very next day i received a call from the Airtel people but when we went there the people concerned said he will not be able to give us the connection as he need to install another DP to give connection u take your money back, when i said i dont need the money but want the connection as soon as possible as i m in need of it, the person said pay me 4000/- for the new DP or get the permission from the corporation..
When i said this is not the way to speak to your customer he said u should have not posted a complaint against us.. I said i'll go to consumer court the person over there responed in a harsh way saying "Lets See"
In hope of soon solution from you..

Also tanuja arranged me a call from President office and Mr Nitin Bhargav is 12/2/10
and he informed me to revert on 15/2/10 but there is no reply by president office.
Also there is lot of other issues are pending about wrong info, perlal ringing, threaten by Ajay kumar jain,miss guide by Mr Stanly,threaten by Deepti,and some of the info is all ready sent to mail id of Sunil Mittel on your corporate mail id on" <[protected]@bharti.com>, "Sunil Mittal" on <sunil.[protected]@bharti.com>, Bharti Mittal on<bharti.[protected]@bharti.com>, President Mr Manoj kohali on <manoj.[protected]@bharti.com>, Karnataka CEO Rohit Malhotra on <rohit.[protected]@airtel.in>, appellate, nodel,care karnata, in All this prectice i spent Thousands of rupees on call charges from verious number,Dsl useges.And Lot of my Veluable time, after loosing all this i am treated as a worst customer in airtel. also i feel some manipulations is going on in Bharti,and most of the customer is sufferd the same
ex. when Bharti is launched hello tune in the first month it is cahrged whole month chrge for the period of 5 days and 10 days also as per billing cycle saying this is not charged on prorate basis even the product is launched just 10 days before the billing cycle,
About the perlal ringing your call center executive is confirm this products is life time with 49/- monthly rental and know this product is not removed and that also without information to customer.
some time customers awareness is effects to some people performance record and in this practice we are getting threat from various people from airtel and some time it is informed to you in writing, even after informing to you your people is not taken any action against the Bharti staff and due to that i have suffers of injury,Still getting threat from your team is not stopped
delaying to resolve issue is adding more cost and tence on both side

Dear Sir,
This is very unfortunate to inform you that Airtel customer care & engineers are very unprofessional. I have Airteldth (set top box) which I installed at Bhubaneswar last year. Last year November I re-installed it to Kolkata along with new form fill up (new address, phone no.) which was done by your engineers. I recharged my voucher on 21st of this month at 9.45 pm since my connection was discontinued due to zero balance. Then I noticed that a massage “ signal loss” & “ error code B001” were coming to my TV. I called to your customer care (complain No :2086205) , they said that engineer would be there by 10am on 22nd. Next day after waiting till 12.15 pm I called again, got response that visit had been extended till 1.30pm. At 7.30 again I called them due to no visit, I had been told from your customer care that Engineer sent them a report saying wrong mob no & address. I confirmed them my new address (Kolkata) & also remind them not to send complain details to my old address(Bhubaneswar). I got a new complain no[protected]. Mean while I got a call from Bhubaneswar Engineer to know my address. Again I called to customer care & told don’t send this new complain to Bhubaneswar since I got a call from Bhubaneswar against old complain No. They again verified my new contacts and assured me that on 23rd(today) by 10 am engineer will come without fail. Today whole day have gone, nobody have come yet. When I called in evening they said engineer report was wrong no & wrong address. I got so frustrated and ask the person to confirm the address & I got so irritated when I heard that last complain was lodged on Bhubaneswar address again. This is extremely unprofessional behavior which I ever heard or ever experienced before. Every person have their own time value. So please keep some professional guys , I don’t know your system, why can’t they delete or deactivate my old address or no !!!!! My new complain no is 2097771.
I am giving my connection details further with my correct mob no since I am not going to screw my time to customer care anymore rather will may think to change connection for better service.
Cus ID :[protected]
STB NO :[protected]
VC No : [protected]
My Mob No : [protected].
Address : 10. H.L. Sarkar Road. Basdroni. Kolkata- 70. West Bengal.
Hope will get a solve now by tomorrow.
ThanX.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am highly disappointed by the way Airtel has treated me in the past. Here are the issues and I would appreciate if they are solved as soon as possible since it is creating a lot of problems to me.

1. Airtel has discontinued and disconnected my number [protected] in a week’s time whereas as per the rules at least a month waiting time is required.
2. Airtel had all my documents cause I had submitted to them when I had taken the card and I have two numbers in my name ([protected] and [protected]) and yet just for selling this premium number airtel has discontinued and disconnected my number in a week time and are now asking me to buy the same number from the airtel galary.

Dear Airtel,

I have received a message again today that "MCA service has been activated on my mobile and Rs15 got deducted from me.The same thing is happening from 3 months and every month i am calling customer care,then they resend my money back.I asked them to totally deactivate this service on my mobile,but that has not been done yet.What is problem the to deactivate it?Even now i have called customer care twice,both told me they were transferring my cal to some senior executive,but i waited for 3 min for the first time and no one attended.For the second time,after 1 min the call got disconnected.Are your senior executives sleeping in the day time???
The second time i called the customer care,the guy told some jokes service was activated on my mobile...What the hell?
When are you going to solve my problem???I dont want any MCA service or something on my mobile...

3months before i have called nearly 10times for the GPRS settings,not even one has sent me those till date.If you are so useless,better put your company in some safe hands...Donot irritate customers this way...and stop behaving so cheap...

My no is : [protected]
