Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I suddenly noticed that airtel charged for international roaming without my consent. I did not opt for such a add-on. They are charging 640 and if i dont pay they charge 6000 rs. Its a looting money in broad day light. If i asked to take complaint they are refusing to do so thereby denying basic customer rights. Their customer service have gone worst.

I have taken the international roaming pack for zone b, which covers european countries such as austria, france and uk and 500 local calls were free in that... I have traveled to austria along with my friend from uk... We were in austria only and both were on same network... On calling my friend number (Uk).. It was a local call and i got the confirmation from international roaming customer care also ([protected])... But billing department charged me with international calls for it...

My sim has 29 rupees balance. Still calls are not getting connected. When I dial *123# it's shows that O/G validity has expired. I have alot of amount on its paytm number. Which I am not able to access as msgs are not getting delivered on that number and I have lost password and otp is getting sent to it.please resolve immediately

I wanted to port my docomo sim card (Which is undertaken by airtel now) to jio but as soon as i sent the port message, i started getting calls from airtel's feedback service for an entire week, forcing me to not change to jio and try airtel for months. The executive clearly told me that there will be no charges for upgrading my sim card from docomo to airtel 4g and no id proofs too. But today as i sent to the showroom, they're asking for ₹300 charges and id proof. So they won't even let me port to jio but also can't even live up to their promise.

Airtel is cheating customers with the internet data consumption. Im using airtel from more than 12 years, all these years it was atleast ok except connectivity issues. Currently, i am using 30gb postpaid plan, monthly data usage was generally around 15gb all these days and i used to get data roll over every month. All of a sudden the data consumption shown from past two months is very unfair. They claim more than 30 gb data is used in 10 days! And 80+ gb in 2 months. It is highly impossible for a working professional to use so much mobile data in so less time as we barely get time daily. When i approached the customer care, instant answer was to upgrade to higher package plans, hence it is very clear that this data cheating is very common for them and the immediate solution they give is to buy additional pack/upgrade the plan. Seriously there should be some action taken against such day time robbery. I'm now forced to think of switching to jio or other alternatives.

Ever since i had the misfortune of recharging my data pack for my airtel number, i can no longer visit any site on the internet without getting redirected to one. Airtel.in. It has become something of a torture, for it has been close to 6-7 hours and it still keeps happening. Happens on both my phone and desktop browsers (Chrome, firefox and opera).
I expect this to be resolved as soon as possible otherwise there's a storm coming your way.

Sirs,

I am holder of mobile phone (Post paid) number with airtel.

Last 1st oct 19, i lost my mobile phone along with simcard while travelling., and then immediately visited airtel office at coimbatore lakshmi mills... Waited for taking token 2 and the staff who attended my call was so lethargic and laughing with his colleague and did not attend properly. After a long struggle that fellow asked me to wait for a 24 hrs time. Myself waited until today (Ie) 5th oct, 19, it is yet to activated.. Myself have sent number of times mails, made phone calls nothing was happened so far. Also after my 1st visit on 1st oct, customer care staffs wanted to me to go airtel store again... Myself again visited on 4th oct,,, and till today it was not activated. Now when call to customer care,, again it is being asked to visit to airtel office and check... I have been put in to tremendous mental agony and unable to do any banking activities,, also unable to do any phone calls both incoming and outgoing... Very very awkward services are being provided by airtel...

I have recharged my phone number (Protected). Of amount 399. The amount has been debitted from the account and got added in wallet but every time i try to recharge only payment failed is happening. I tried to contact customer service but they are not replying to my mail. Having this much big company show some good gesture to your customer. I need to recharge my sim. But they are troubling there customer.

Airtel is the worst mobile network because 1 recharge my phone with 3 month plan and unable to use mobile data because of speed the plan says you will recieve 4g data speed but the speed i get is not even 2g with this network even i can't check my snapchat stories play games it is the wrost mobile network now i am thinking toh port my airtel sim to jio. Whenever i want to play or watch my snapchat stories i have to take wifi from my father phone which has jio network and it is much much better than airtel.

Airtel has a very poor network. I am frustrated while using the internet. The connection is very poor and buffers a lot. While working a very serious project in my office i am unable to use this network. The 1.5 gb offered to me finishes very quickly without being used. Refund back my data or give me some extra data otherwise i shall change my operator.

I ported from vodafone to airtel on 1st october, but that day my incoming and outgoing calls are barred and am struck with this stupid network and having a huge loss in my business due to which many orders were cancelled. Contacted customer care lot of times and even sent mail to nodal officer but no reply or updates from them. Visited local customers centre too but they are not able help.
Will airtel pay for my business loss? Can anyone suggest me the legal action to be taken against airtel to compensate my loss?
Being a huge company they should atleast respond to mails. Just need customers for money nothing else.

Airtel's plans are too expensive for me!

Initially i tried porting out by sending sms to 1900, to which they said i must wait till month end as there are new cheaper plans getting released.

When i checked after the month, there are no new plans and currently they have:
- blocked my sms service so that i cannot send port to 1900.
- blocked calls to customercare so that i cannot raise a complaint. (All other calls are working fine)

I have done payment on 24/09/219 of Rs 399 Airtel prepaid mobile oparetor but amount has been deducted from my account but not credited to beneficiary account could you please rectify me as early as possible this is my kindly request to you I have been attached transaction details could you please find

Airtel — airtel is charging on postpaid bill 543212 not used or subscribed
Airtel mob no. [protected] being used by my dad who is 80 yrs, he is on a postpaid tariff plan of rs. 399.
My dad hardly makes 10 outgoing calls in a month, he is on a plan of rs. 399 supposed to be the lowest tariff plan, i had requested for a 199 plan few times, but i was told this is the least tariff plan, so except for receiving calls and making around max of 10 calls in a month he does not know or use any other service not even messaging service. For this i have been paying monthly around rs. 500 - 600 which itself is too much of an amount for the number of calls made.
But this month airtel has charged an additional rs. 360 for using the services of 543212 (The service of which was never used or subscribed by my dad). So after adding the above rs. 360 (Suspicious) charges and other call charges this month's total payable bill amount is rs. 1036.
Shocked on seeing the bill amount, i called airtel customer support 121 seeking clarification for rs. 360/-. The customer support executive told me, that the charges were for a voice call which was made to a helpline number 543212 for 1 hour, i told the executive it was not possible that it could have been used for 1 hr as my dad cannot hear properly and does not have patience to hold and talk on phone for 1 hr. After repeatedly trying to explain that it was not at all possible that the service was used or a call to that number made the executive bluntly said the amount was charged as it was used and hence the bill total of rs. 1036 must be paid on time, to avoid another rs. 100 late payment fee etc.
This is a serious issue, we have been loyal airtel customers for over a decade now still, it is so disappointing to be charged for something that was never used and is not at all acceptable.
I request through this letter, to consumer complaint forum that this issue be looked into and resolved in order for us to continue using the services of airtel and we be charged only for the services used and not otherwise. Any other details required to prove the case will provided if required.

Dear team,
My airtel dth client id is [protected]. My dth tv is showing error of "no signal due to bad weather", but the weather is clear and there is also no issue of wire connection. Dth customer care is saying that dish direction to be change and i am facing this problem second time. Company every year change the direction of its dish from backend and we will have to pay visiting charges every year for the movement of dish direction. Please look into the matter and help us to get the issue resolve.

We have took airtel corporate connection (50 numbers) just two month back, & we received sim cards it was working fine at head office, but when we distributed to our site person, they all were facing lot of issues in using those cards, our site person unable to get any call, no internet, no rang at all. Airtel sale person committed to us that he has done serve on all sites and there are proper range all over. This was the falsehood, we were continuously followed to airtel team for the same; they had visited our site twice, their site visit report says that there is some connectivity problem on sarita vaibhav site as well as, at our md’s residences. They installed 4g device but no used of that, they don’t have any other option to resolve our problem.
We hope you will understand our problems.

Under the above circumstance, this is our airtel a/c no.[protected].
