Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I am not able to visit any website on any mobile web browser on my mobile as I am always getting redirected to one.airtel.in/rccf.
This has turned my whole day miserable.
I tried to contact customer care on 198.
But they are clueless about it.
And I have already tried resetting phone, reinserting sim but nothing works.
Please resolve this problem immediately.
I am getting so irritated by this.

I had purchased AIRTEL DTH set. they are cheating by not charging as per our requested plan. Even after changing the plan for a lower rate they are charging higher amount. They are changing the plan to higher amount withot our request. Even after making complaints they are restarting their fraudulent behaviour. For example my acoount was showing Rs239/month. But after recharging it is valid only for 23days. Now after the trai regulation their fraudulent behaviour is at peak. Along with FTV channels I had choosed only SUNTV HD, VIJAY TV HD and STAR sports 1 HD as add on Channels. But all those channels are cut today and my online account is showing around 2300/month as subscription. Many times the costomer care no also is tampered.

I want to make a complaint about my Airtel d2h servicr provider. My Airtel DTH customer Id is [protected]. I got fed up of their highly irresponsible and arrogant behaviour towards me. They are not implementing the new TRAI guidelines even I selected and submitted my own channels as per new guide lines via internet and even submission through television QR code on 27 Jan19 and 02 Feb 19 respectively. I contacted Airtel customer care minimum 8 to 10 times which requires minimum 15 to 30 minutes each time to talk to them thus wastage of our time. Then also got no results as either they are not responding or dropping my call . I got four times 48 hrs assurances to get the issue resolved till date since 27 Jan 19 and against complaint No.[protected] dated 02 Feb 19. So far they are giving me assurance only and no result which resulted totally wastage of my time and financial loss in terms of high value of present subscription. So I request you, please look into the matter and take strict actions by penalizing them for non compliance with TRAI rules.
Thank you.

Three days ago, as per regular mandate from TRIA and message from your team, I choose package from D2H website for my customer ID[protected] for which total package costed INR 287. This package include Star channel package of INR 49 (including star plus, star Bharat, Star sports Hindi etc.). Post selection of package (as per attached screenshot), the channel reflected properly for one day. However, since day before yesterday, suddenly Star Bharat and Star Sports Hindi channel service viewing was stopped and it was mentioned that it is not a part of pay channel.

I have been trying to call your customer care number +[protected] from last 2 days till today (almost 40 times by now) but it’s continuously coming as busy. This is really frustrating that we can’t get resolution to the issue and need to wait for connecting with you. Can you look into the issue and resolve it today itself. I will also want 2 days extension to my monthly subscription as I could not watch my favourite serial yesterday and India-New Zealand T20 today due to default in stop broadcasting channel from your part.

My customer ID for AIrtel digital tv is [protected] and have 3 connections.
1.[protected]-001(SD Set top box)
2.[protected]-003(HD Set top box)
3.[protected]-004(HD Set top box).

I did an annual recharge of rs 9981 on 28th November 2018 and the break up for all the three connections were like below:
1.[protected]-001(SD Set top box)-rs 3931 mega pack(all SD channels for 1 year)
2..[protected]-003(HD Set top box)-rs 3025 mega HD (all SD+HD channels for 1 year)
3.[protected]-004(HD Set top box)-rs 3025 mega HD (all SD+HD channels for 1 year)
[protected][protected][protected][protected]
total[protected][protected][protected]rs9981(for 1 year)

So my pack was going to end on December 2019 as per terms and conditions.

However I was called on 2nd February 2019 by Airtel digital tv csutomer care to change my annual pack as my original pack would cost me much more and hence all my balance may end up very soon rather than lasting till Decemebr 2019.Hence I changed my pack for [protected]-001 and [protected]-004 on 2nd february by taking ala carte pack from channel 998 and sent the bar code to airtel.
Later when I read terms and conditions in TRAI site and found the FAQ no 11 like below:

"11. What if annual subscription charges are paid by a subscriber
in advance?
In case a subscriber has availed any scheme with advance charges paid for future lock-in period like an annual plan the distributor shall continue to provide services for such committed period without any increase in price / charges and without altering the other terms of subscription.
The distributors cannot make any changes that entails any disadvantage to the subscriber in such cases.However, if the subscriber wants to switch over to a new package after 1st February, 2019 then the proportional balance amount of existing package as on the date of switch over may
be adjusted for the new package prices after 1st February, 2019."

However After repeated complaints, phone calls and emails of the same to airtel, they are not listening to me and neither reverting original pack as per condition.

Now they have started to disconnect channels also.
I want all my three connections original annual pack of all channels reverted back as that has been given as guidelines by TRAI.

I am completely harassed and clueless what to do in such humiliation by airtel.

Respected Sir,
Last five days I have continuously facing problem with your service . I have already selected chennal on my TV as per TRAI guidelines and submitted . Already sent sms through my registrated mobile . But still it is not activated . When I am calling to your customer care service center, nobody is responding to me . When sending One message to 54325, it is suddenly deducted Rs 3.00 and I have already spent Rs 111.00 to continuous sending sms as my account is not yet activated . People sitting at your service center give me wrong information and my TV has been disconnected .
So it is my personal request you to kindly look into the matter and arrange to active the plan selected by me .

After signing the agreement we find someone to whom the same company ie airtel was paying 10, 000 per months from last 5 years, now they are not paying any attention to our request to give us atleast the same amount they are paying to them. I m requesting to your good self to help me in this matter i possible.

I would like to complaint against airtel dth service. My dth service is stopped on 1st feb 2019 even though i had rs 403 balance. When i called tollfree number at 121 customer care executive told me that there is technical issue and it will resolved shortly. It is more than 7 days now and service has not resumed but balance is reducing is everyday without providing service.
On 7th feb 2019 balance is rs 311. I tried to call several times to customer care to know about the service they did not reply properly. Always saying to call after 4 hours again i called after 4 hours they said call after 2 hours. I want to know if they are not providing any service then why they are charging for nothing. Is there any govt agency or department to take action against this kind of cheating.

Dear team airtel
I am chirag joshi from ahmedabad. I have applied for 140 (Telemarketing) line along with trai registration for my business. I have provided all required documents according to your requirement along with 2 cheques (Rs 50000/ & rs 5000/) on 17th january2019. Your local team is not aware abot further process & not co operating to avail me registration & connection when i asked your executive (Uzer ghoghawala) about status & progress of process he replied that if i would ask such questions he will return my documents & not process my application. I said him i will complain to senior management he replied you can contact shri sunil mittal even he do not care. When i asked him about contact no of his senior he replied go to senior management & take number. This is not at all acceptable from such big corporate. Kindly arrange earliest resolution of same & provide me responsible person contact detais from your team. My mail id is [protected]@gmail.com & [protected]@gmail.com

Dear sir/madam,
I would like to bring to your kind attention about the conduct of airtel company in not providing dth services as per new trai guidelines. I have selected my dth pack according to my usage and convenience much before 1st february 2019. But till date neither my desired pack has been activated nor their are responding to my queries. I have tried on numerous occasions to get in touch with them via customer care services but to no avail. Still the company is charging me as per my old plan.

I hope you will take necessary action against the unprofessional attitude of the company as i have faced a lot of harassment.

Kind regards

Hello liers,

My name is mohammad ali khan, i am having a problem with my airtel dth connection. My account no is "[protected]" registered with name "mohammd aslam khan". The number i was calling from is "[protected]". Recently i was trying to check you new plans for 2019 as per trai, which i was not able to do because my recharge go ended today.

While checking i was shown as message like recharge with 100 rs to activate your account, which i did, even though my account stayed suspended.

After that i call in your customer sevice like for 3 time wasting completely about 30 mins. I do not know what kind of people your company higher, what this # do, for 10-10 mins no one picks up the call. Once luckly someone picked the call, with whom i had my conversation who told me that your minimum recharge is of rs.150 /-. I told him i have already recharged with rs. 100 /- what should i do know, he asked me to recherge with more rs. 50 /-, and told me my account will get activated instantly.

Now i when i went online to recharge again as he infromed me, i was not able to do so. On your website your minimum recharge amount starts from rs. 100 /-, even though i did recharged with that amount. I don't know why my account is still suspended even after i have balance of rs. 200/- in it now. I called again in your customer which as per you is the best, where again i waited 10 mins for someone to pick a call and help me with my problem. Luckly after 10 mins a girl picked my call, who asked me my details and everything and then kept my call on hold for like 3-4 mins, then suddenly she told me that she is transferring my call to i don't to whom where again i have to wait for like 5 mins and then my call got disconnected with message that your # experts are very busy with others.

I have to you people do advertisment like your company is the best and the when giving service this is your reality. I left your compmany's network due same such kind of problems, now i think i have to disconnect your dth connection also.

I am not writing this to you peole to helo me with my problem, but to let you know your reality, letting you know what kind of suckers are you people.

Thanks & regards

I am having a broadband connection of airtel for which i did payment on 30th january (6 month plan). Now again after a week, i got a call that i need to pay bill for other plan which i have changed as this is advanced rental service. It meant that whatever payment already did was wasted and i lost my money. I did ask to customer care before changing the plan and they mentioned i need to pay bill after 6 month of activation. They never mentioned my current payment will be wasted away.

On[protected]:15am, i tried to recharge my mobile phone using the airtel app. I had enough money in the airtel payments bank. After submission my money was deducted from the airtel payments bank that did not provide me any transaction id and i was told to wait for the response of the service provider and if the recharge is not successful, i will be reimbursed. Till now there is no response either from the app or through message. Customer care line is also not responsive.

Hi team,

I have been using airtel dth connection since a long time. As per tri guidelines i have chosen a set of packs but few channels which are already included in those packs are not visible to me (Error code b001). I tried to contact couple of times to airtel cst care, even to their nodal office (Pune) but they were least bothered to solve my problem. Even through i have been paying for those channel. Kindly look into this on priority and please make sure these channels are visible on my tv (Else a refund could be initiated).

After the trai guidelines, airtel started broadcasting a message that the customers should select required channels and when i do that, the basic recording service that i am eligible for lifetime free because i bought hd recorder (Dvr) set top box by paying around 24, 000/- with yearly subscription for the highest pack available with airtel. I was told that irrespective of what i subscribe for, i would have the recording facility always available as i have opted for dvr box.
Now suddenly the recording services are stopped and there is absolutely no response to requests to activate the facility. I try calling the customer care and never get online as it goes on waiting for hours and i sent email, logged complaint online, and i have also contacted nodal officer and appellate too but absolutely no progress on this since a week.
This clearly shows how airtel is ignoring customers after collecting money and promising services.
It has been a trend for airtel to do this with all type of services like mobile, internet and dth. No exclusion. Everything is against the customer's interest and is only for building the customer base and collecting money.

Hi, I have recently ported to airtel from vodafone and got my number [protected] got activated on 31.01.2019 from that day onwards i'm not able to recharge ( Via EC, AIrtel Store and Online) and because of that now my outgoing and incoming have been blocked. I have spoke to customer care and Airtel Relationship Centre but till now there is no solution.

I have been told that there is some issue with the backend server and this problem is being occurred to all the new customer but when i was in the Airtel Store i saw a customer gets his FRC done with no issues and the store executive itself said those word.

Repeated follow ups regarding this issue but still it has not been resolved.

Please resolve this Issue ASAP or Make changes to receive incoming calls and message to my Airtel prepaid number [protected] till the issue gets resolved.

Reference no. for my complaint request earlier CONRC[protected].

Note : after this also i went to Airtel Store and contacted the Customer Care all they say is i have a sent a e-mail regarding the problem and will be sorted out in 48 Hours. But it's been 7 days and still not resolved and now my incoming and outgoing stopped and it become a huge problem.

Kindly please resolve the ASAP.

Thanks.
