Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I have Airtel Prepaid connection and my no is [protected]. I have chose friends card and while signing the form daily deduction for service was 50 Paisa/day. And later on they increased it to Re.1/day. Now when I want to use my FRIENDS SERVICE and create group with my friends. Their service of *110# is not working and when I called to Customer Care and asked them to do so they again started one more condition of min bal of Rs.30/-. When I recharged my mobile and again called them frequently for the same they locked my number so now I am not able to connect CUSTOMER CARE AGENT.

THIS IS LITERALLY OUTREGIOUS, AND SUCKING CUSTOMER LIKE LITCH.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am contacting you to seek help for the due refund of Inr. 6000 from Airtel, against the
above Sim [protected].

I had bought a data card from Airtel paying them 6000 Inr. for hardware and activation and 6000 Inr. as a security deposit.

My office bearer visited Airtel office on Residency Road on 17-Sep-2008, and submitted our letter asking to cancel and terminate the above Sim Card.

The receipt of the same has been acknowledged in writing, by Airtel Residency Road office.

From November 2008, I started receiving calls asking me to pay outstanding dues ?

Hence, my office bearerr, visited the Airtel Residency Road office twice and was told the refund would be given within a few months. The third time he visited, he saw the office was permanently closed.
He then, went to Airtel Bannerghata road, and was asked to resubmit the same letter dated 17-September-2008 to them. Which he did on 25-Nov-2008.
From November 2008 till 07-October 2009, my person has been visiting Airtel, Bannerghata road office, every month.

The dates of his visit are listed below :

25-Nov-2009 ( Ms. Pooja recieved the copy of the letter already submitted on 17-Sep-2009.)
11-Feb-2009 ( Mr. Raghavendra Rao, said he will get back to us.)
05-Mar-2009 ( Mr. Kumar at 1410 PM, informed him that we have to wait for 3 to 4 months to receive the refund in March 2009. )
11-Sep-2009 ( Ms. Bharati at 11.10 AM, informed that they will call back. )
07-Oct-2009 ( Mr. Mohammed at 1520 PM, said he will call back. )

The above visits were made asking for the refund of our deposit amount of 6000 Inr. The answer we got is the same. We are checking and we will get back to you.

Today, we have learnt that the concerned number has been billed by
Airtel till March 2009 or May 2009, and then closed.

Since the date we have submitted the cancellation letter on 17 September 2008, there has been no usage on this sim from my side.

Hence, we asked Airtel to arrange the rightful refund within this month, failing which we decided to send a legal notice concerning this matter.

As per my telecon this morning with Airtel Customer Care, I have been informed that I have to pay 3249 Inr. which is outstanding as the billing has been done till May 2009.

How can Airtel not adhere to a written customer request for termination of a sim card and continue billing a consumer ?

I trust that the consumer complaint cell will help to take action and close this issue once and for all and get me back my due refund of 6000 Inr.


Thanking you, with best regards, I remain,

Yours Sincerely,

Hi Sir/Madam
My name is abhishek Agarwal and i am having airtel prepaid connection my number is [protected].

Few week back airtel had activated the service known as Airtel live without my request and on 21 jan they had activated the matrimonial alterts service. I logged a complatint to deactivate the service and reversal of charges for these services as same is not requested by me.

Toady on 23 Jan they give me a call from number [protected] and when i had asked the details and proff for a SMS sent by me for activation of these charges they had disconnected the call and closed my complaint. This is really frustrating as they are using there monopoly and deducting any sort of charges.
These type of things must be stopped in future

Dear Sir,

On 26/11/2009, I received an SMS from Airtel which said that Rs.333 recharge for full talktime is available even on roaming. My validity showed as lifetime (That is, Sep 04, 2012). On 27/11/2009, I charged the prepaid Airtel no.[protected] through Citibank Mastercard for Rs.333. To my surprise, the same was billed to me on the credit card though my balance is shown as zero.

I tried to call support nos in Mumbai and in Karnataka. None of these calls would go out from my Airtel no! Instead, I had to make STD calls to Karnataka support no. using another non-Airtel phone on 29/11/2009. After a long talk of nearly 20mins with support personnel and escalating the matter to the manager, one Ms. Sheela, I was told that the same will be resolved (meaning the amount credited to my airtel no. or refunded back to the credit card).

Since the issue was not resolved till 01/12/2009, I wrote an email to Airtel (Ref id:[protected]. In the reply they told me that my SIM card validity had expired, which was clearly not so. As mentioned above its a lifetime validity SIM card which I've been recharging often enough to keep it lifetime valid. But instead they chose to bill me Rs.333 and gave me no recharge. On escalating the matter to Nodal office of Karnataka on email id nodalofficer.[protected]@airtel.in on 04/12/2009 and again a reminder on 10/12/2009, I received no replies at all even after over a month has passed! I request someone to kindly intervene and resolve the matter please.

Respected sir/madam,
I had requested for disconnection of my add on no. [protected] on the month of oct 2009 . on my request there is no action. On the next bill circle, i was surprised to see the chrges of same no. After enquiring, i came to know that my application of disconnection is not forwarded & mis-placed by pacific communication,sco-19,leela bhawan, opp.icici bank, Patiala (Pb.). On again request by pacific communication, i again gave them request on 26/12/2009 & request no is :30138258 . On the seeing of next month bill statement, i was again surprised to see the charges of that mobile no.. I am a very busy surgeon . I received so many calls from Airtel to pay the bill otherwise airtel will disconnect my all numbers. I am very fedup from calls made by airtel. Please give appropriate action against them ASAP.Please feel free for contact me on my given no.

Thanks & Regards,

Aitel have infomed me that they are reducing the speed of Broadband connection for my Phone[protected] at Chennai on reaching 100GB of Downloads by approx half to 1149 Honeplan, which is a breach of trust and agreement of terms of service at the time of offering me the Service. Also I want to know under what authority, say like TRAI recommendations etc, they are unilaterally doing this. my efforts to seek redressal through their Customer Care is in vain. please do the needful.

Sir,
I want to unsubscribe my airtel frenzo service,my mobile number is [protected],please kindly forward my complaint.
Yours faithfully

My flexi prepaid recharge no.[protected]. i am using your airtel flexi prepaid recharge for the last two years. now this no.[protected] disconnect without any notice/message on dt.31.12.2009 and value in my account Rs.5139.87/-

Sub: complaints ref no:[protected] and [protected] – regarding
My mobile no is [protected]. I’m using your airtel prepaid service for the last two years.
Now i’m in a plan to change my mobile service to other network along with my family members’ numbers. Reason is above mentioned complaint reference, just go through the conversations between me and your customer care persons.
The mistake is mine. First i used your gprs service. While i’m surfing in net cricinfo.com i accidentally touched a games download link (my mobile is a touch screen mobile). That’s my second mistake. After that i received a message from airtel live mentioning that my balance is reduced for downloading games from airtel live using wap. 99 rupees gone. Well actually you take it from my account without my consent. I gave a complaint this to customer care. They talked nice safeguarding your service.
Just a accidental single click, you took my money. Well, that’s a nice way to earn money.
I’m spending around 400 rupees for a month for using airtel service for various recharge. But this is the response from you.
I’m thinking that you purposefully put that link in most of the pages in such a way that if accidentally someone clicked that link you will take their money even without downloading any thing. Check my account. I didn’t download a single kb from that address.
Ok any how, you won, keep my money. No need to return. Even if i go to consumer court you will win. But i’m going to throw away your sim card after all our rate cutter validity over on april. Not only me all my family members using airtel because i’m using it. They ll also throw it. So you are the loser.
There are various ways to earn money. But this is cheating. Bye. Only fools will download games by spending money when there are thousand sites giving it free of cost.

Dear sir/Mam

07-jan-2010 again receive a call from the same number & the same person but the metter is dtill not resolved

Dear Sir,

I have applied for the 2nd Broadband connection from your organisation on 10th Jan 2010 with Ref no – 5879300 on Customer Care 121. A sales executive Mr. Alok ([protected]) contacted us for the Broadband connection and filled an Enrollment Form No. – 1883188, with amount of Rs. 2447/- holding Chq no 588089 dated 18 Jan 2010, we decided to opt 256kbps plan with a telephone connection along with the plan. He himself very much sure for the availability of TAG in our area, where as I spoke earlier with the Airtel engineer for the connection as the there is no tag availability in our area.

Further he sends a technician Mr. Sandeep from Tilak Nagar for the wiring done and the new telephone.

On 20th Jan 2010 Mr. Alok made a call to us for the non availability of TAG in our area as the same is confirmed earlier went to very shocking and humiliation on our part.

This seems to be very unethical in terms of customer retention.

As a sales executive he is liable to be known the customer requirements.

To a very extent when we ask for the refund he gave another Senior Sales executive Mr. Vipin Garg’s ([protected]) mobile no and said to speak for the refund he replied with the false statements about the connection and the amount will refund within 15 to45 days.

This is more rudeness from a distinguished company like yours that you give a chance to those people who doesn’t know the meaning of Customer Care.... Is this the way of your company handling the customers?

Kindly take a stringent action against these people Mr. Alok and Mr. Vipin who continuously make false statements with the customers for their own benefits.

Kindly acknowledge the same and do forward me with the ongoing status in this context.

Further, if there is no action takes place against these people I am liable to go to the consumer court for misleading the customers in evident to these people as well as the company.

Thanks and regards

SUB: Concern with regard to non- refund of money collected (500) for Internet Broadband Service (TBLR 0075160 dated 12 January 2010).

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to bring to your kind attention a very regretful experience that I had with Airtel BroadBand services. With the intention that I would be getting the best of the internet services, I had contacted Airtel Bangalore team to check for the feasibility of their service in my area (as specified above). One of your associates named Muniraj (with mobile no [protected]) came to my home. He had taken cash of Rs.500/-, my passport copy & my photograph with the assurance that connectivity would be provided by 20 January 2010. Once the payment was done, the scenario had taken a dramatic turn.

Following are my concerns.

• The associate named Muniraj, had not reverted back to me with the status of my connectivity.
• Muniraj had not even uploaded my TBLR 0075160 to the Airtel system. This was confirmed by the Airtel customer care team.
• I tried contacting the customer care service department, but they were not helpful in any way.
• After days of repeated calls, Muniraj responded that “We could not provide you broadband connectivity in your area”
• After making lots of calls to the customer care center, they have registered a service request (request no 28568954.).
• I tried reaching the associate Muniraj, but he kept promising me that he would be returning the money soon.
• A lady from the Complaint cell named, Vinoda with contact no[protected] had called me up and informed that she will follow up on this issue. She did not revert back and when I contacted her she was telling that she had lost all my details and needed the details again. This was quite embarrassing for a customer to keep calling your customer as well as complaint cell repeatedly .
• I fear to recommend Airtel to my friends circle.

I Need the following actions at the earliest.
• I need my money back at the earliest.
• Please ensure return of my documents and photograph along with the cash.
• I need a time frame as to when all the settlements would be completed.

Considering the suffocation that I have in my mind, I think this is the most polite email that I could sent you out. Would appreciate a quick turnaround.

These aspects had made me think twice to have any of bharti products hereafter.


Yours Sincerely,
Manjith

Few days back I received a mail from airtel corporate connection department informing me of court notice filed against me for not paying the Bill.
I read the mail after the date to appear in court had already passed.
Actually when I got transferred from bangalore to pune I asked Airtel to discontinue my connection. I did not make payment because I had not recieved the Bill.They cancelled my connection without asking for payment or sending the Bill.
After sometime one person from airtel called me asking to make payment. I asked him how to make the payment. He told me to do so online which i couldn't do as my connection was already closed. I tried to pay to nearest Airtel center but they said this is Maharashtra centre and you cannot pay here. Meanwhile I asked the person to send me the bill to my mail id but i didn't receive it. On further asking for any alternate method to pay the bill he provided me one address to send a cheque in favour of airtel. But I told him that as soon as i receive the Bill I will make the payment. That person talked to me very rudely and said you people dont pay the bills and make useless excuses and cut the phone.
I ignored the matter but then they sent me a court notice saying that i have to appear in bangalore court. As I am in Pune it is very difficult for me to go to Bangalore.
How should I deal with this matter. Should I pay the bill without receiving/going through the bill or hire a lawyer for this? Please help.
