Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Sir,
I have been receiving messages from the site http://gclub.in since last two months "Thanks for using (Subcriptions, TextBasedServices) subscription service on Airtel WAP.You've been charged Rs.**. Enjoy http://gclub.in". Everytime I receive this message my phone credit balnce gets reduced by Rs.5,10 or 20 variably. i have tried several times to unsubscribe this service by conatacting the Airtel Customer Care service but in vain. they give false assurances and the same problem persits.
i am really disgusted with this . Please help me unsubscribe this service.

MY number is [protected] .

Hi

I have loged camplain to customer care by calling 121 for more than 15 times but still my problem has not being solved .

Therefore i request you to please look in to this matter urgently and take some immediate action.

I am Augustin Victor from chennai. I applied for Airtel broadband connection on 28th Aug 09 with [SEF No. CH 929095], through Anna nagar Airtel office. Handed over the application to the Airtel executive Mr. Murali, ph. no - [protected]
and a Cheque for Rs.1000 and cleared from my Account.
After that I got the Verification call from Airtel on 5th September and he told that I would get the connection within 48 hrs.
8 days were passed, Still I have not got any connection from Airtel.
I called the representative many times, he is not even picking up the call.
I logged a complaint in customer service with Ref. No.: 24263974.
Already myself and my wife are using Airtel postpaid mobile connections.
But its a strange experience from Airtel. I lost my confidence with Airtel.
Now I am really frustrated and fed up.

Without my permission Airtel cut my postpaid amount se 1500 extra addwance pay and kafee gaali gelouj ki.this no 4 year 12 month old

I am sick and tired of deleting spam (offer's) from Airtel on a daily basis.. I just don't want my inbox getting full of your trash sms offers. What should I do if my own service provider is doing such illegal acts?
And now they have also started deducting money for those sms. I mean this is just rubbish. Please stop that SMS OFFER service immediately, And if it is possible then I will also not hesitate to drag you guys into the court. Because I never subscribed for any SMS service and I never asked anyone to send me SMS offers etc.etc.
Just because you are the service provider doesn't gives you the power to treat your customers like this.

Thanks

Dear Sir,

First of all when calling customer care they direct us to *121# for detail. On 4/9/2009 I enquired about bonus card recharge they suggest us to recharge with 65 for a year and A2A first Call will be charged 1/- for 2 min. and after that .40 p per min. A2O first call will be charged 1/- for 2 Min and after it, it will be .60 p and STD first call 2 min @ 1.50 after it .75p per min. and you will get 100 sms free per day. But there was not mentioned that 2 sms will be charged @ 1/- and then I will get the free sms. This is simple cheating. What is the procedure to stop this service

I had registerd complaints with airtel for call drops on road near 200ft road thoraipakkam - outside ETL Chennai1 - SEZ in may-jun.

I am facing similar call drops now even in my house ( located very near to crowded vijayanagar junction), "Emergency calls only" or no signal scenarios exists most of the time. I have even bought a new phone thinking that this might be an instrument problem. and looks like i have wasted my money and the same problem exists with the new phone also. i have registered complaints regarding the same with airtel in end of ju

My landline no. in Delhi, recd. an exorbitant bill of Rs. 3000+, while I usually get around Rs.[protected].

I emailed to Airtel to:
1. changeover my plan to lower one immediately. I checked the plan options from their website. Later I got a reply that, that specific plan did not exist.
I then suggested another plan. When I opted for that plan, they dilly-dallied for 7 days, and have now called to say they will change it in another 48 hours. THUS THEY MADE SURE THAT THEY WILLFLEECE ME FOR ADDITIONAL 10 DAYS.

2. I asked them to looked in to the high bill amount. On this they never reverted; but made sure to call me to remind me to pay the bill.

they always call up subscribers about upgrades - but never inform about newer/friendlier plans.

I am unnecessarily getting Cricket Alerts from Number[protected] though I have not subscribed for this service. Moreover my balance is getting deducted for this service. If these people wud have been in front of me I wud have spanked them.
Please look into the matter.... My mobile No is [protected]

No response from Airtel after lodging Complent on 121. Please block SMS's from number 290603. and arrenge to refund/credit Rs.3/- per SMS's so far received with immediate effect.

i have been using airtel for the last 3 to 4 yrs and always thought airtel to be the best despite their high tariff rates on calls.unfortunately,i am compelled to bring up a serious mismanagement on airtel's side.my airtel no which is [protected] is being constantly diverted to another number.at first i thought there must be something wrong with my phone settings and rechecked it many times.it is extremely frustrating to think my personal calls,smses were being read by another person.this is a gross violation of my fundamental rights.All this was brought to my attention a few months back but i never cared to find out.however out of the blue,my cell phone did not have any network today and i instintively removed my sim card ,dialled my no [protected] from another no and lo,it was answered by a woman whose no is [protected] and she herself told me she has been receiving smses and calls meant for me!!!
if this matter is not resolved within the next 24 hours ,i will lodged an FIR as this is a form of gross mental abuse anf infringement of my privacy.

Due to scratches, my airtel sim could not be access. As thats my permanent contact number, it becames inconvenient for me to change that.so i went to airtel office at sihgad road,pune on 1st september2009 and told about the problem. they took 75 Rs. from me and give me new airtel sim, they assure that my number will not change and the new sim will be activited on the that day only. But till today(10/09/2009), that sim card is not activated.I visited that office and also called customer care but that doesn't work...due to this i am suffering from lots of losses and airtel can not fulfill my losses...

1. I come to know on 2nd july 2009 when they have asked to pay Rs.5728/- for for the uses made between 22.5.2009 to21.06.2009.
the history was that I CALLED ON 9.5.2009 TO INQUIRE ABOUT CHANGE OF BILLPLAN IF AVAILABLE from Rs. 350/- per month for 500mb data Transfer to 49/- std plan because earlier whenever inquired they said no such plan is available.
2. CONSUMER CARE Executive given me a request number and instructed to visit the nearest airtel centre to process the request.
3. In between they changed the billplan.
4. I use the data card services during the said period as it was under old plan as we never proceeded to process the request as instructed by the customer care executive.
5. Started calling to repay the moneydaily at least 4-6 times a day.
6. Approached to its Nodal Officer as well appellate they only said request from your side therefore charges are valid, I Appealled that if I was aware that my plan is changed and each and every KB is Chargeable I did use the card accordingly because i have not visited to Airtel Centre to process the request.

I am Sarfraj Shigave, customer of Airtel since last 2 years. I have two postpaid mobile connections of Airtel. I am paying the Airtel bill on regulag time. I have paid all the bill before due dates. My mobile no.s are [protected] and [protected]. Since yesterday morning my second no. i.e. [protected] is showing not in use. Means when I am calling that no. its showing that this no. is not in use. I have tried to call customer care. They told me that as Airtel is updating system they cant do anything upto 11th of Sep. 2009. Today morning I went to your Tilak Road’s customer care service center. The office time is 10.00 am to 8.00 pm. The office opens at 9.30. I went there at 9.50. But the sweeper man refused me to seat in the office. He told me to wait outside the office. I asked him that I will wait inside as there are just 10 minutes remain. But he was speaking very rudely with me. Then up to 11.oo am no one Airtel employee was available in the office. At 11 o’clock one lady came. I told her my problem. She told me there are phones. So call on 888. I tried to call on 888, but the call was dropping. I again told her it’s not connecting. She can’t do anything; you have to wait for half an hour as express office employee will came half an hour late. I asked her “But office time is 10.00 to 8.00”. She told me those express officers are used to come late by half an hour daily. So we can’t do anything.”
In this way I was there up to 11.10 but no one was there to solve my problem. Then I have asked her where the complaint box is? She replied you can not do anything against us. You may either wait or you may go now.
This happens with me second time. Last time also when I had lost my cell I went there and asked the lady to block my card as it is postpaid connection. She replied first put the complaint in police station and come with complaint document; I told her I am going to put the complaint in police station. But first block my card. Even I had shown her my ID proofs as she is saying that how can we believe that this card is on your name?
tell me whether it is a customer care office or customer harassment office. Please tell me what to do?

Respected Sir,

I Ganesh Bhaskarrao Jadhav residing at Sangamner having your Airtel Mobile M-Campus Plan ( Mobile No.[protected] & [protected]) from Last 1 year.

I have recharge on[protected] for 1 year validity period.

My Campus Plan is given as follows

Airtel M-Campus Member - Calling Charges 10 Paisa per minute for 24 hour 7 days week
Airtel to other Mobile (Except Campus) - Calling Charges 1 Rs. Per minute
Airtel M-Campus Member – SMS Charges 10 Paisa per SMS for 24 Hour
Airtel to other Mobile (Except Campus) - SMS 20 paisa per SMS
Airtel to Other (Except Campus) – STD Charges 2 Rs. Per minute
Airtel to other mobile (Except Campus) – Calling Charges on Saturday & Sunday 50 paisa
per minute for 24 hour
Airtel to other mobile (Except Campus) – SMS charges on Saturday & Sunday 10 paisa per
SMS for 24 hour

But from some days my charges were deducted more than above rate that is calling 25 paisa per minute or 1 Rs. Per minute & 1 Rs. For SMS

I have call to your customer care on[protected].25 PM & talk to your two customer care executive about above problem, they told me that on[protected] my plan is changed & it convert to Friends instead of Campus

I am very surprised that even if I have not given any information or not recharge any new plan then how it converts automatically at your end.

I request you herewith that check at your end how it happen & inform the same. Also convert my plan to campus again & credit my account wrongly excess charges deducted by you from[protected] to till date[protected] app. 20 outgoing calls Rs.40/- to Rs.50/-)

Also note that I want to keep this plan for next year also. Inform the recharge value for 1 year validity period. Also inform the above mentioned same plan I required, is it continued as it is or there is any change ?

I hope you look in this matter immediately & do needful
Awaiting your early reply for the same

Thanking you,

Yours Faithfully,
Ganesh Jadhav

Dear sir,i am having mobile bearing no. [protected] of airtel from jharkhand circle. On 09/09/2009 they had automatically activated few services like Masala pack,Cricket pack, &twin packs & for this they had charged Rs 10 from my account balance without my consent & when i complained this to customer care they assured me that they will return back the amount and deactivate the services , but they failed to keep their words. So sir, please look into the matter &ask them to return the amount which they had illegally charged.
Thanking you
