Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi, i recently went to maldives on my honeymoon. When i reached there, i was charged around 45k amount for using the data services. These data service is the leakage data which happened without my knowledge. When i got message of 11k, i tried to contact service provider through sms but was not sending. I am struggling with airtel from past 1 month but at first they kept me saying to wait till the bill is generated. Now as the bill generated, i am not getting any help form them. My internal roaming was activated without my knowledge and also the threshold which was 4.5k was not applied when the bill was getting generated. Also when i tried to deactivate the roaming services, message was not sending due to network issue.
What can i do in this case. I want to fight this in court. Also i have seen many people are wrongly charged by these service providers.
Please please please help

Im using airtel dth service for past 2 months, i did recharge of rs. 290 on 3rd march 2019, as per plans available on airtel app. (Attaching the payment receipt). Afterwards my airtel dth service resumed.

Unfortunately dth service worked smoothly only for more ore less 30 minutes, later it suddenly stopped working. Msg appeared on screen that "your account or service has been suspended due to low balance in account."

From that day (3rd march) i repeatedly trying to call airtel dth customer care service number [protected], but it kept me on waiting, no representative was available to answer the call and resolve the issue for next 3 days.

I am most annoyed when airtel's representative answered my call on 6th march and told me that "there is some bug or technical error because of that it is showing zero balance in your account. We can not do anything from here, except registering complain about service issue and will forward it our technical team".

Airtel dth complain reference number[protected]

Because such bad service, even i fully paid for the dth package am unable to watch tv. Service is still suspended till date.

I trust this is not the way that awful company wishes to conduct business with valued customers.

I request to resolve my account issue and add more days for which im unable to watch tv.

I hope i will get dth pack amount refunded in to my account and service will resume.

Thanks & regards

We have a mail from airtel company on nov 18 for disconnection and closer, but unable to know how they generating bills to me every new month, they also sent me my billing statement and payment statement where the amount are refundable till today but again and again they saying to clear our outstanding.

I am an airtel mobile consumer bearing mobile number [protected] for the last 3 months. All the airtel data packs are priced very high. I have been recharging the unlimited data packs for the last few months. Inspite of that, i am not receiving the advertised services.
Here are the listed defects in the services offered by them:
Internet speed is 200kbps at my location in berhampur, odisha (Unlike the advertised speed of 4-5 mbps),
Myairtel app is not opening up in my device (It should give info regarding data, balance and complaints)
198 complaint number which is a paid number to place complaints with the customer service. I am asking why should it be paid to talk with customer service. Are they running call girl sevices?
Frequent call drops, noisy calls and signal fluctuation.

I have been complaining to their appellate authority regarding these deficiency in services but still i haven't received a satisfactory response till now. They simply acknowledge the deficiency in services but it hasn't been resolved till now except the speed issue which shows drastic fluctuations. The speed is very good only at night during 12a. M. - 8a. M. And after 7 p. M. Some days the speed drastically gets reduced to around 30kbps and that gets reset at midnight.

Adding to these complaints, i am not getting the promised data services since monday i. E. 4th march, 2019. I have been asking to rollover the data or pay the compensatory price. But they have denied this sort of compensation every time i have asked them to do so.

Please guide me what can i do next.
I have complained at the national consumer helpline and the government's public grievance portal but still the best resolution offered to my until know is to visit the consumer forum. Going physically to the consumer forum for every other problem everyday is not a feasible solution being offered to me is what i feel.

Dear Airtel servicers, I have to inform that, I have a Airtel Sim -[protected]. This sim has not been working now. I don't know how did this? But the sim has most important for me, because there are more related scheme and information on it...so, kindly help to me to again activate my Airtel Sim...plzzz

Airtel has lost its credibility. Unable to withstand competition from JIO, it is fleecing its customers, especially the prepaid customers. Why should Airtel expect me to recharge my prepaid number before the close of the validity period ? I may not need its services for a few days, or I may wantonly plan to recharge after a week or two. Why should Airtel deduct Rs.23 from my main balance, to extend the validity by 28 days, and that too without any voice, sms or data benefits ? Does this not amount to cheating and fraud ? Trai should take up this issue immediately and show Airtel its place. My another surprise is how the telco companies arrived at 28 days validity ? If I have to recharge on the 28th day to avoid the deduction of Rs.23, my validity starts from that day itself, effectively bringing the validity period to 27 days. How corrupt these corporates have become ?

My credit card was auto debited with 589.62 today at 2:07 am without pin/otp. Please look into this and reverse the charges. I have never used the card from my end. This seems to be some sort of fraud that you have to take care from your end. I have seen similar kind of complaints raised by other consumers reporting the same issue. There is no solution that you have given so far. How are we going to resolve this i need an answer and update... I'll report this in all social media about airtel

Hello i had recharged my airtel mobile number with inr 169 and had activated a pack for next 28 days.

Next using 'phone pe' i had recharged the same number mistakenly of inr 169 and pack for next 28 days.

I contacted airtel for refund/to credit that to talk time at least as it doesn't make sense to use both same packs by paying double the price.

Now they were not ready to refund it as it was done through third party app (Phone pe) where in they were ready to refund it if was done through airtel app.

Does it make sense?? No matter how you pay money i was paying it to airtel.

Kindly look into this at the earliest and i am ready to provide you all yhe the transaction details as i want to find a solution for this by having the money refunded.

Thank you.

It is very painful to inform you that the network connection in our area is stopped since 3 pm today i cannot make either call or use internet due to which i am facing some serious problem. I have been a costumer of airtel since last 10 years and if this is the condition i have to change my network to jio. Kindly help me to resolve it thank you hope for your positive response

My residence is at trivandrum located near alathara bus stand.
I have two connections - airtel, voice clarity is good but data coverage is
Very poor. One month back it was good, now the condition is worst than
Bsnl. I have one bsnl number also. Now it is ok than airtel.
I am thinking to port. Here our friends have the same problem. Me and every
One are using 4 g smartphones. Please find a solution
My no [protected]

Recharged 49 for 3gb for one day through my airtel app.balance got deducted. Deduction mesg also received from sbi bank.But internet services doesn't activated.transaction no is[protected].customer service agent denies the recharge had taken place even after providing transaction no.If you Airtel are not robbers then return my 49 rs immediately.

I've complaining to their customer service repeatedly but i don't think they have taken a step on this, it still is slow and not a slight improvement from them and it's really irritating,
so what i want now is refund my money on last transaction and i'm gonna change to other network
and SUE them please, they are the biggest cheaters in india i reckon

No network coverage in both area my office and home also south ex -2, no calls no internet access... Very poor service of airtel fake advertising of our brand. Faste network ghanta fast network. Sala 2 g hi chal jaye wahi bahut badi baat... When i want to register complaint on 121 airtel automatically disconnected my calls all the time. As my experience wrost service experience with airtel.

With due respect, i would like to change post paid service into prepaid service of the following customers:
9788214xxx
9791948xxx
9025610xxx
9715896xxx
9952670xxx
9791507xxx
9994544xxx
And approaching the airtel show room with all required documents, sometimes they returning the documents with some few irritable words with our customers as "you just go to where your connections were got? And approach them" like that only your side reply for the past one year.. But the officials of the show room using unwanted words to us and the approach some other airtel show room like other than rasipuram or namakkal show rooms of airtel hence my company situated at rasipuram (Namakkal district)
So i kindly request you to take some necessary action on them and do the needful in this regard as i did already in the customer care portal and hence hereinafter am not responsible for the billpayment for the above said numbers. If you wont do any actions...

Dear sir/madam

Yesterday, on 5/3/19, at 11:07pm i received otp sms for transaction on airtel5/bh/prepaid for 119 rupees, using my sbi debit card which was not initiated by me. Someone is using airtel wallet portal for fraudulent transaction. Please look into it asap and resolve this issue. We all don't want to lose our hard earned money.

Hi team,
I recently purchased the airtel broadband wi-fi which was a six months pack. The technician from airtel came for the address check and had asked us to pay the amount through airtel portal. I paid the amount and the money is deducted form my bank account. Called up my bank for re-confirmation and they said the transaction is successful. I gave the transaction details to airtel people but they say that they did not receive the amount yet. This is been more than 4 days now and we are more dependent on our wi-fi for working form home. It should not take these many days. Please resolve soon.

Airtel.
You guys are rediculas i activated 240rs plan as per web site, but you cheaters are activated 600+ plans (Whick i was not wanted) & when called to resolve that your guys wasted my 40min+ of my time & in that atlease for 20min kept on hold passed to supervicer but that gental man started playing call center tricks by keeping call on mute when ever i talk & does't leasten to my words & saying tell me sir, tell me sir &saying there is no such plan as 240.

Rai says tariff plan running smoothly; consumers have different story to tell
The regulator has not received many complaints, said arvind kumar, adviser on broadcasting at trai.
The switchover to the new tariff regime for television channels prescribed by the telecom regulatory authority of india (Trai) is going smoothly, it said. Not everyone seems to agree.

The regulator has not received many complaints, said arvind kumar, advisor on broadcasting at trai.
“there must be some issues on ground, but trai has not received many complaints, ” he told et. “msos (Multi-system operators) have told us that 100% of their subscribers have been migrated to either the best-fit plans (Bfps) or the selected plans. Dth (Direct-to-home) players have achieved about 60%, but tata sky and airtel digital tv are now migrating almost five lakh consumers each, daily.”
Manoj mathur is still waiting for that to happen. The 64-year-old retiree, who lives in mumbai’s western suburbs, loves music reality shows and sports. For the past two weeks, he’s not been able to get the channels of his choice, despite calling the local cable operator (Lco) and making his selections on the cable company’s website. He’s been driven to shouting at the unresponsive operator to little effect.

Sameer shukla, a 48-year-old software professional based in gurugram, has the channels he wants but his monthly dth bill has risen 30%. Gwalior-based businessman ravinder singh isn’t having a happy time — his mother complains that she hasn’t been able to watch the devotional channels she likes. The cable operator hasn’t been of much help.

Trai envisioned a transparent regime, where consumers pay only for the channels they want to watch and weren’t forced to subscribe to those they didn’t as part of package deals, lowering bills. The regulator gave viewers until february 1 to submit their choice. When that didn’t work, the deadline was extended to march 31 with distribution platforms told to move consumers to a “best-fit pack” (Bfp) that approximated the existing package.

“trai, in all fairness, had good intentions, ” said a tv broadcaster. But implementation has been a different story, he said. “while there could be debates over the results, the inconvenience it is causing to the general public is humongous.”

Some said there doesn’t seem to be a price advantage under the new system, quite the opposite in fact. Trai’s new tariff order is good for an individual but it doesn’t account for the fact that four members of a typical indian family will have different entertainment needs, said the business head of a tv channel.

“my mother wants the cookery channel, i want news and sports, whereas my wife wants all hindi general entertainment channels. My teenage daughter wants english movies and music channels, and my younger son wants kids’ channels. So, i ended up selecting 51 channels. My bill is up by 70-80%, ” he added.

Many consumers feel helpless, finding themselves at the mercy of their service providers’ whims.

These bfps have become a major cause of angst as distribution platforms are deciding which channels to provide and which to disconnect. Also, in the garb of providing choice, cable companies (Msos) are trying to force their packs on consumers, according to wide cross-section of viewers who got in touch with et regarding their tv woes.

Lcos have not issued the forms that consumers need to fill out and appear to be misinformed themselves.

“the cable operator has been trying to fleece me by asking for rs 1, 500 for three months and not providing any choice, ” said mayur lal, a content writer from bandra in mumbai. “when i told him that i will select my channels, he disconnected all pay channels and now is not picking up my calls. I am not getting the channels i have asked for even after submitting the form online two weeks back.”

Trai had also directed that consumers who makes channel selections — after having been migrated to a best-fit plan — should have those changes effected within 72 hours. Cable operators haven’t been able to implement this, said subscribers.

Call centres of distribution platforms are either not picking up the phone or unhelpful when they do, said the people who spoke or emailed et.

The msos are taking almost 1.5 million consumers off the best-fit plans and providing them their choice of channels on a daily basis, said a senior executive at one of the large msos.

“the systems are under pressure and it is taking some time, ” he said.

Users said some dth players haven’t made the process of selecting channels easy.

“it’s a painful thing to sift through all the channels and select and de-select channels of your choice on websites. Many sd (Standard-definition) and hd (High-definition) channels are missing from my dth company’s website, and after spending over an hour, i finally had to take the recommended pack, which is fewer channels from earlier and at a 20% higher price, ” said ramesh singh, a lucknow-based lawyer.

None of this affects more tech-savvy viewers, including millennials, who’ve cut the cord, watching the things they want on phones, tablets, laptops, pcs, smart tvs or plugging in dongles.

But everyone else — senior citizens, retired people and housewives — is feeling the frustration.

“i can’t watch shows on mobile or tablet. I want my tv channels back, ” said mathur

Thanks & regards,
