Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir / Madam,

Sorry for registering complain thru email as your server is not responding since many days now :

After having registered my complain i am not getting the number and since i am not able to register my complaint with you through the web site ( on line ) i have no choice but to write an email on my complain and i hope that the same will be registered and number send to me.

The complain is about Airtel where we were mislead by the company executive who has given us a wrong plan when we had switched over both our Voice and Broad Band to Airtel from BSNL effective 31st Oct'08.
During the installation there was a theft in our office by Airtel employees of our old EPABX worth Rs 50,000 and after many days of searching the same was returned back to us by Airtel ( A company which can act so low ??)

1) We were given a plan and informed that by taking the same we will be connected to all our other offices in India as EPBX and no extra cost for which we should take a particular plan.

2) Later we were informed that there exist nothing like that as Airtel has no network in All India Basis and hence the offer made to us in the first place was wrong and can not be executed.

3) By the time we realised that our regular bill has exorbitantly gone up by almost three times from average of 5000/= to 13,000 per month.

4) As a company procedure no body bothered to intervene into this and came to us explaining that the plan given was wrong and hence need a change ( hence of being customer friendly is an absurd statement ? )

5) On our enquiring with Airtel we were also given to understand that the use of the Voice is only about 6000/ which made us further confirmed about our doubt on the mess up of the plan by the co in question.

6) Having understood our self as no body volunteered from Airtel we made an SOS request to change the plan to Rs5000/ pm effective March '09.

7) Thereafter the bills till date have been still raised in the old plan ?

8) During the time we realised about the wrong plan given to us by misguiding and misleading we had lost by then almost 40,000 more in our bill of Voice duly paid. Which needs a return of payment ?

9) After the change of plan being intimated the connection was disconnected from April '09 till date the bill were still raised and now they are asking for payment for service not used at all and that too in the old plan.

10) With regards the Broad Band connection the same from the day one was not given for months together for two months or so again for which the payment have been already made again without using the services at all.

11) The facility being not there with us for Oct / Nov / Dec '08 has caused huge damages to us and we had to pay heavy penalty to all our customers for not rendering the service from our pocket for no fault of ours.

12 ) This Broad Band Connectivity issue has jolted us with a damage of Rs 65,000/ paid to all our customer for fault of Airtel completely.

13) All the above issues have been bought to the notice of Airtel and met with no response till date, even a letter addressed to the CEO also has no reply till date.

14) The irony of the matter is all letter which we write to their office are not taken and refused by them of which we have evidence. This is purely an intention to harass a customer and nothing else.

15) We need a resolution on this matter by making Airtel pay 65,000 against the loss incurred on not having B/b and 40,000 paid excess till March Bill and treat all the bill from April as null and void since the phone was not working / disconnected.

Awaiting your responce on the matter.

Best regards,

Hello,

There was some extra charges in my bill dated 23rd August 09. I contacted Airtel Customer Support several times to remove those charges and they promised that your issue will be resolved in a week. But, no one got back to me due to which the last date elapsed and I did not pay my bill bcoz I was not aware of the final bill. I followed up with them several times and asked them to resolve my issue so that my connection doesnot get discontinued but they did not replied positively. They disconnected my connection without informing me.

Then, I received a call from a lady from their collection department and then she gave the waver of Rs. 691/- adjusting my last 2 bills. She told me that for last 2 bills I need to pay a sum of Rs. 1096/- (324 for August bill + 772 for September bill). Then, I paid Rs. 1000/- on the same date (8th Oct) just an hour after the confirmation from her. So, the remaining amount came to be 96 that I promised them to pay with my next bill.

But, I am now receiving calls from Airtel stating that I need to pay the amount and there is no record of the waiver approved for you. They are saying that they cannot help me with this matter. Customer Care is not ready to listen and just hang up the call each time.

They have made my life a real mess and I receive an automated and manual calls requesting to pay the charges of 1772 while its just 96. This issue is lasting from 1 and a half month and they are not ready to help me. I am living in a tention now and cannot concentrate on my job.

I reuqest you to please help me with this matter and get this sorted out on priority. I have contacted them n number of times to resolve this issue but they have never responded positively. I also demand compensation of Rs. 3 lacs for mental stress and time I had spent in unnecessary conversation.

Please do the needful.

Thanks & Regards,
Sanjay

I have an Airtel Digital TV. My monthly charges as per the package I have selected is Rs 303/- as per Airtel Call centre executives. However, my complaint is as below:
1) I recharged with Rs 400/- in Sept (I guess on 18th Sept) - So ideally, I was supposed to have extra balance in my account
2) I was out of town and came back yesterday (23rd Oct) to see my DTH not working and while checking had a negative balance of Rs 72/-. I was surprised as I should have had excess balance.
3) However, to watch my favourite programmes before getting into the details of this mess, I recharged through my credit card with Rs 380/- (considering Rs 72/- negative charge and Rs 303/- monthly charge)
4) Surprisingly, I got charged with Rs 399/- on my credit card (though I had swiped for Rs 380/-) and my Airtel DTH account with Rs 327/-
5) Now, when I checked the validity today, it is only till 19th November (ideally, I should have had more than 25th Nov, atleast 22nd Nov if I consider monthly validity)

I spoke to the call centre executive (Mr. Rahul) who was not able to explain me anything and lost his temper in between. The attitude was highly unprofessional. On my multiple requests to talk to someone senior to Rahul, I was not passed the line on to any senior, saying he cant do anything and one Mr. Murali (supposed to be his senior) has no time.. Is this the way to handle customer when you have wrongfully deducted Rs 19/- from credit card without my permission, calling it a PROMOTIONAL scheme?? Moreover, how can the validity be less than 30 days when I have balance more than my monthly billing requirements?

I am going to press and to consumer forum to show how Airtel cheats customers and also to show how unprofessional their customer service is.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Please understand that I am at my wits end and your company is leaving me very few options left.
My name is Adrian Cavinder. I have lived in Bangalore for almost 20 years and am currently a Principal of a learning centre here for international students. In all my years of interaction with companies for various personal requirements, I have never, repeat never, been treated so uncaringly.
On the 21st September I applied for an Airtel broadband connection; I did this because your company was recommended. I paid rs. 4297 by cheque. You processed it within 2 days! Unfortunately, you found out AFTER you had processed it, that your company could not supply a connection in my particular area. Why this was not checked prior to cashing the cheque is beyond me. However, I was told that the full refund would be processed immediately. I hope you will agree that considering your company was at fault, it would have behooved you company to act promptly and efficiently to ensure that a potential customer remain so. Instead, by your negligent and almost farcical attitude, you have managed to alienate a customer to the point where I will not hesitate to express my opinion to those within my sphere of influence.
From the 24th September to the 20th October, your company made no attempt to contact me at all. I had to contact your company at least 4 to 5 times to find out what was happening to my refund. I was led through Lewis’ wardrobe into a land of make-believe. I was informed by very polite, very sincere, but very deluded call operatives that my refund would be despatched in 2 days, 10 days, 15 days. Each one, mind you, being quoted AFTER the other ‘promised’ timeframe had elapsed. In other words, it was just stretched and stretched until it became impossible to believe Airtel employees anymore. It would benefit your company immensely if more of your employees were to live on the right side of the wardrobe.
On the 22nd of October, I again called your company and spoke to the next level up from the call operative. He assured me that the refund would be sent within 2 days (another 2 days!). At the precise moment I was talking to this person, a courier arrived from Airtel with, lo and behold! A refund cheque for rs. 1,000!!!! Such audacity! Such impudence! Well, it is either extreme audacity or extreme ineptness. For a company of Airtel's stature, either should be condemning.
On the 22nd evening, on my way home, your company called again and told me that my refund would be processed within the next 45 days!!!!!!!!!!! This is absolutely absurd! And this is why I am at the point of having few options left to me. Your company made a mistake and I am being mentally harassed because of it.
When I first came here over 25 years ago, I learned very quickly that a 'process' could and would take at least 45 days, due to the bureaucratic monster that was in place at the time. A paper had to go from pillar to post, and back again; get lost in between and only see the light of day after a multitude of totally unnecessary signatures. It is inconceivable that a supposedly 'modern' company in 2009 is still 'processing' in 45 days! What is your problem? Too many people sleeping? Not enough computers? Too much bureaucracy still? Or has the witch’s wand turn most of you into stone?
Congratulations! You have managed to turn a would-be grateful customer into a customer who will not be vindictive, but who will not hesitate to share my experience of Airtel’s pathetic customer care.
Oh, my complaint number was 24788360 in case you wish to attempt to rectify an awful situation. If I do not receive my refund immediately (now it's been one whole month), you leave me no option but to seek further counsel. You seem to take a somewhat sadistic pleasure in having people suffer. So be it, if I am to suffer, I shall ensure that the pain is evenly distributed. Are you the lion or the witch?
Yours disappointedly,
Adrian Cavinder

Hi,

I planned to switch from BSNL broadband to Airtel Broadband and just at that time i heard about a offer stating that if i book a airtel connection before August 31 i would get 5% Discount on total Bill, Rs.250/- Speed on Demand for first 3 months and 500 free calls (100 Airtel mobile mins and 400 Airtel Lanline mins) for the first month. So i was impressed by the offer and so i booked the connection on 26th August and i got the connection activated on 29th August. I was told about this offer over phone and within the next one hour the airtel person came to my house for registration.

I was happy about the speed at which they provided the connection. After a month o[censored]sage i got a bill and was shocked to see that the mentioned offer was not included in my airtel connection. When i complained about this in airtel on 7 Oct 2009 and first they told that the offer expired at the time of logging (Offer only expires on August 31st but i got my connection activated on 29th August also this was done by airtel person and not by customers) but i was not convinced so i sent a mail to airtel nodal office but there was no response. So i again re-registered a complaint and this time the airtel people said that the offer cannot be included as person who told me the offer and the person who registered the offer left the job and they didn't mention about the offer in my registration form. How could this be my mistake if the person forgets to mention the offer in the registration form. Now how can i deal this problem. PLEASE HELP ME.

Respeted sir,

I have recharged on 12 oct 2009 for Rs.155 through EC. I received sms as successfully recharged. But on next day this amount has been taken back from my account. I called customer care but they replied as "the dealer, who did EC from his number, later on send from same number to stop this recharge. So u have to contact the dealer only". When I approached the dealer he say that once they recharge they cannot stop it. And said u have to ask customer care. Now both of them says each other. I dont know what happened. Can anyone say where shall i complaint about this? Or any give any complaint number?

Sir, Please advice whether is there any Monthly Charges applicable Call Conference facility on Mobile. As i have noticed that except AIRTEL no one is charging for the same. Only AIRTEL is charging monthly rental of Rs.50 of this facility.
I have asked AIRTEL about this but no i am not getting any proper reply from them.

Guys, Do not buy airtel Digital Tv, i suffered alot, first 2 weeks my account was not recharged and then thy disconnected my services although i paid 2650 2 weeks before.I am mailing to Nodal officer there is no reply.I ahve sent them reminders but there is still no reply

Dear Sir (Mr. Anil Rai /Mr. Pankaj Sotha)

I have applied for Airtel Broadband wi-fi connection dt 15/10/09, amount Rs. 1500/-Tatibandh,Raipur(C.G.).But till now false commitment is going on for new connection by 16/10/09 evening.Again when no reply has come from Airtel office,again on 19/10/09 I had talk to Mr. Narendra[protected] he assured us within in two day's by 21-0ct-09, you will get new conn.Again I had call dt 22/10/09 with Mr. Ashutosh (Sales Officer)mob.no([protected]) & Mr Chandrashekhar mob. no.([protected]) ,no .of times, they hadn't gave proper response.Even if they are not ready to return our money. Again when I had called again & again then they are not ready for new connection and giving excuse like wire plob. etc,which is wrong because near by (10 mtrs). a broad band connection is already there in CAT(Catterpillar/JCB) Company.Avinash builders, Tatibandh which is located at opposite of my flat no.G-103.Jainam builders ,Tatibandh.

had kept the money receipt of rs.1500 to avoid legal consequences.More than 20 phone calls I had made, that I had kept as a record with me.I want the new connection within two day's by 24/1/09. I hope you will take some serious action againt the matter, as I know your Airtel Management is much more cautious in customer care cases.

Hi All,
I'll bring to your notice that AirTel DTH Customer service and complaint resolution is too worst. After recharging I couldn't view any channels. I got an error signal locked error code B001.But they are deducting money from my account. Since October 13 I'm facing this problem I called customer care more than 10 times. These are the request no's I raised. The interesting part is they will close the request no's without my knowledge and without any resolution :)

Hi,

I have been using Bharathi Airtel Post Paid Connection since long time. I have 2 connections with me one of which is not being used much during the recent past. I therefore decided to surrender this SIM Card.

I went to Airtel office in NR Colony, Bangalore to surrender, but they did not accept giving varieties of creative reasons for not accepting the SIM. When I made repeated visits, I was told to send a mail to [protected]@airtelindia.com requesting them to cancel the connection. I got reply from this email stating they will get back to us in 48 hours time without even mentioning if they have accepted my request to inactivate the SIM. I did not get any response from anyone in the next 48 hours. When I gave a call to one customer service executive through 121, he informed me that the request was still open and no action was taken on this. He had no reasons to explain the cause for delay. He then told me that the connection may be inactivated in the next 10-15 days time!!

When we have a post paid connection, every day counts for the billing and this is a cheap trick to increase the bill amount. When I ask them about the refundable deposit of Rs.400 they collect when we take a new connection, they bluntly say, it will be adjusted. I do not understand what adjustment here means when we have zero outstanding amount.

When I enquired with my relatives and friends about this, I was shocked to know that Airtel does the same to all its postpaid customers when they surrender their SIM. My friend had also approached the NR Colony Airtel showroom for cancellation. He was given an assurance that the connection was cancelled. After several months, Airtel people from various offices have bugged him to make the payment saying that the connection was not at all cancelled.

How can a reputed organization like Airtel play such cheap tricks to make money. This is a completely illegal and objectionable attitude of Airtel. When it takes just 1 day to get a new connection, why should it take months together for a customer to surrender and deactivate a connection? The way they talk makes anyone sure that they won't return the refundable deposit amount they collect from us.

Is there no single responsible and sensible official in the Management level in Airtel who can look into such issues and stop their executives from looting customers like the way Airtel has been doing currently? Who can teach Airtel the basic business Ethics they have to follow?

Regards,
Karthik
