Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Wherever I keep my phone I ain't getting range I can't call anyone it takes time to connect the line and I don't get any incoming calls because there is no range please do something immediately or else I will have to stop using Airtel. It's really long that I have been facing this issue and it's only now that I stepped to complain. I need range already to call that will be more than enough

This is to inform you that i got a call from airtel DTH service provider customer care executive stating that in 799 INR i will get 6 month service with all the channel as my previous pack. So i recharged my airtel DTH with 799 INR. But when i started surfing around all the channels i came to know thy are giving only free broadcasted channel for 799 INR for 6 month. Same has been informed to airtell customer care but they have not taken any action with respect to refund my money or to activate same channel as they promissed.

I have a mobile service issue for Number +91 [protected] in my residential address Plot No -101/203, Near Vijaya Homes, Vennelagadda, Boudha Nagar, Suchitra, Kompally. 500055.

I have raised a complaint regarding poor network and zero data service on 26.04.2019 and this was to be solved by 30.04.2019, since it was not solved
It was escalated by Mr. Naveen (Floor manager Airtel) and took 72 Hrs for escalation and
it was not solved, then Ms. Deepika had escalated the issue again on 03.05.2019 for 48 Hrs and issue didn't get solved,
then the complaint again escalated on 06.05.2019 by Ms. Angel even now the complaint didn't get solved,
then on 09.05.2019 again the complaint got escalated for 24 Hrs even then the complaint didn't get resolved.

Today on 10.05.2019 15:00 to 15:45 I received a call saying again the complaint is being escalated for 48 Hrs

I am feel ambarassed that no one in airtel is taking responsibility to solve my network issue even after more than 15 days.

I am not able to speak to my family peacefully due to the week network and no data services, I am just being fooled each time I call to them.

I have not received any kind of call from the network team of Airtel and even after trying myself to speak by giving miscall to 515 even after that there is no call back by the airtel team.

Please solve the problem or help me out in this.

I don't have enough money to maintain 2 connections of mobile and broadband in home due this high living cost nowadays.

I have seen delays of many minutes, but already a delay of many seconds makes the connection completely useless since i get timeouts. I can accept when the connection is slow, no problem. But these huge delays are unacceptable.
Please fix your router configurations, and if needed upgrade the backbone.

Dear sir, i wish to bring your notice that there is a airtel broadband junction box in front of my house.

The installation of junction box is causing a lot inconvenience to me as i am planning to renovate my hom and the junction box is blocking that. It is requested to remove or shift the airtel broadband junction box at the earliest.

I having been trying reaching to your customer support, appellate from 22nd april but no one is responding and taking action.

We are facing network issues that's why we can't do work and can't work our software also so please rectifie our network issues as soon as possible.

Please humble request rectifie our problem,

thank you,

Though airtel says the complaint is resolved, but it's actually not. Perpetually there is no internet connection and i cannot access internet though it shows full signal. Every time i have to reset the device to get access to internet and same with the prepaid no. The airtel executives try to dismiss this off as 'device issue' but if it's a device issue there won't be a problem with more than one device at a single time. Plus, whenever i raise a complaint, i hear from airtel's end that the network issue has been resolved, that very clearly means it's blocked from their end for unknown reasons. Every time there is a site upgradation too, but i do not see any results. It's highly irritating to pay for services that i do not receive whereas when it comes to waiving off a bill, they never have the courtesy to do so.
I work from home and it's completely based on internet, so if this issue isn't resolved at the earliest, i will be discontinuing my services without making further payments, because thisr negligence is causing me loss of work. I am not going to tolerate this any further.

I bought an airtel sim on 22nd march 2019. When i bought the sim i was told the sim itself is postpaid and i cannot get it prepaid.
I said i would like to change it prepaid as soon as possible. They said you can do it after 30 days and/or the first bill cycle.
After that i went on 30th of apr to change to prepaid. They changed their tone and said it takes 90 days to switch from postpaid to prepaid.
I called customer care (198) and now customer care said it takes 30 days.

So i had customer care speak to the airtel employee in the airtel store near me and they could not resolve the conflict. So customer care asked me to wait for 48 hours to resolve this problem. I called again on the 8th and went to the store. Same conflict.

It's now been 10 days and there is no resolution.
I called 198 again just a few minutes ago. And still nothing.
My question.

1) is it true that some numbers are reserved for postpaid only? And cannot be bought for a prepaid connection or was i fooled?

2) how long is the lock-in period for postpaid to prepaid migration?

3) i am being billed for services i am currently not using. I have waiting for your resolution for 10 days now. That means i just wasted rs.100 out of my postpaid bill just in waiting. You are ripping me off while making me wait.
Do something useful.

I lost signal for my old number on 9th may 00:20 midnight and i have inserted your airtel prepaid sim in my mobile. As directed i have restarted my device and i got confirmation message that service has been restored,

“your services have been set. Please restart your handset”

So after i restarted, i got signal too, but lost it in under 2 sec.

So, i have called airtel customer care number yesterday morning and have been informed that eta is 9th may. The response i got was deal with “no service” for a day as it is still in progress. Typically it takes 7 days for the port process.

Okay, i have dealt with no service yesterday and literally missed all my important business calls, personal calls.

But still now also i don’t have signal on my phone.

Need help in this!!

I wish to bring your notice that there is a airtel broadband junction box in front of my house. The junction box was installed without any knowledge to me or my neighbor.
Now the junction box is causing a lot inconvenience to me.
Due to the junction box l i cannot park my four wheeler in front of house and as the road is narrow here so there is usual problem of traffic congestion.
It is really big disturbance to me as i couldnot park my two wheeler or for wheeler.

Please find an alternative place where it will be safe and will not get damage and not cause any traffic obstruction to others.

Thanking you.

Hi,

I would like to officially make a complaint against deficiency in services being offered on the hotspot number [protected].

I’ve made several complaints and i’ve not been able to even use it.

I made a complaint that was resolved recently, the issue got fixed and now i’m unable to use it since sometime, again.

I raised a complaint on 23rd april and categorically asked for the cancellation, also i was told that i wouldn’t have to pay the billed charges since i haven’t availed the services.

I’ve been so fed up that i raised a port out request on my number [protected] but i was retained saying the issue would be highlighted and fixed, sadly, it wasn’t.

Please help me in resolving this issue, otherwise i would be forced to take a legal recourse for harassment and deficiency in services.

Reference numbers[protected] — 12th april 2019
Reference number[protected]rd april 2019 and no response/revert received till date.

I’d expect this to be treated on high priority to avoid more agony.

Warm regards
Vipul

This was the first written email after lodging two complaints at the airtel customer care for hotspot not being working, on the last call, was promised this would be taken care of, it never did.

There have been so many emails written after that but i've been told to pay the bill otherwise you won't even listen to what i'm complaining about.

My airtel wallet blocked and if i try to reset my mpin it always saying "mpin reset window closed please try after 24 hours". If i dial 400 number, it is saying "your airtel account blocked please try *400# to reset the mpin". *400# is not giving me any luck. Even airtel guys at service centre are helpless.
I dropped mail to [protected]@airtelmoney.com.. But no reply as of now. What a hell is this. This is very irritating me. I feel, i did a big mistake by doing transactions through airtel wallet. I need money in my wallet for other transactions. Please resolve my issue asap

Hi myself kiran bhagwan tamhane. My airtel no is [protected]. This no. I recently ported on airtel i. E on 25th apr 2019. But from 26th apr 2019 12:00 pm network range gone at my home, address is mentioned above. I raised complaint[protected] on airtel & they committed that they will solve the by 30th apr 2019.
I replied airtel on call to put note that if issue will not solve on 30th apr then i am not going to pay this month bill.
On 30th apr 2019 i called airtel again around 10 pm and they told me that they will escalate this issue. Till now no one contacted me and no one visited to my location for survey also regarding issue. Today again i called up airtel again they told me that they will escalate to network but no response from airtel.
After porting to airtel immediate from next day i am not able to call anyone and not able to received call from anybody. Airtel is taking this lightly as in my home having total 3 airtel connection and every one facing same issue.
Now a days facing lots of problem with telecom operator like airtel & vodafone and company not bother about it. We are not able to use service most of the time then why should we pay for that. This is happening every 2 month, so why every time customer should face such issue. There should be penalty on telecom company like airtel or vodafone if customer not able call or not able to received call, data connectivity issue. There should be new policy to implement from govt. That if anybody face such issue & company will not resolve your issue withing 4 days then you dont have to pay bill for this month.
Request here is to take strict action against this otherwise they will not improve their network connectivity.

I, mark david verghese, contactable on mobile [protected], have been using airtel dth services for many years.
On the 2nd of may, 2019, i had placed a request for dismantling the dish, as i have moved my residence.
Every two days, i have called airtel to find out the status and each time the customer care of airtel has assured me that, the engineer will visit.
However, after 7 days, nobody has called nor visited.

At 1145 hrs approximately, i placed another call to the airtel customer care and obtained a service engineer's name and number (Anand / [protected] / shiva nandeeshwara enterprises).

Initial attempts to speak to anand failed as the calls went unanswered.

I proceeded to call airtel customer care again and when asking for an alternate number, the executive sounded off rudely that i needed to wait and not put pressure this way.
When i explained to him that, i have been waiting since 7 days, he told me that, his system showed a date of 5th of may, 2019 and not 2nd of may, 2019; the date when i first placed my request.

He then disconnected the call in the most abrupt and rude manner.

Anyways, i proceeded to call anand again and guess what, he was the rudest of the lot.
I got the feeling that, he believed strongly that, airtel is the the only answer to all problems in the world and that, he is it's absolute lord and savior!

Despite multiple requests to come in and complete the task, he says that, he will have to check the availability of an engineer, then have him call me etc, before even giving me an indication of a time.

It is now 1225 hrs, on the 9th of may, 2019, and not a single call from airtel.

It's time to move to another service provider!
