Airtel Complaints & Reviews

On saturday, 22nd december 2018, i requested airtel customer service to convert my physical sim to esim, but my number/sim was completely deactivated. On the same day i visited one of the local airtel store and requested to reactivate my mobile/sim, but airtel gave a new/replacement physical sim and assured that reactivation will be completed within 24 hours.

However, today, 25th december 2018, is the 3rd day my mobile/sim is still not reactivated! For the past 3 days, i have been patiently repeatedly following up with your customer service and local store to get my mobile/sim reactivated but airtel representatives are unable to help with my issue or understand my pain.

I have almost made up my mind to throw away your sim and stop using all my airtel products/services. Thereafter please don't bother me for any due amount since airtel does not care or value my relationship even after being a loyal customer since 3 years and paying my bills on time.

This is to inform you recently i have port my 3 no's vodafone no. ([protected]/[protected]/[protected]), since then i have been trying to change my plan to infinity plan but no help got from customer care. Today 25th dec18 i have tried but by mistake the plan 1599 activated in my [protected] mobile no., i have requested to customer care to change or make temporarily maje it as old but my all effort gone in vain. & the solution i got that now i have to use this plan atleast for one the month. I had changed my plan as i trusted that i got best services however here i felt cheated. If the plan will not be changed family inr 399, i will sorry to say again i'll port my no. To vodafone as their policies is much frindly for customers then yours.

Awaiting for your response.

Since last 1 week i was trying to send a message to 1900 to port out airtel network. But every time it is failed to send. The reason for porting out airtel network is due to outgoing & incoming services deactivated even though the this sim which i am using for the past 3years.
The reason for this deactivation of services is not known.
After calling customer service to extend the services, they said to recharge with some pack, but still the balance is also available in the account.
& of course another reason is network speed issue which is not 4g or 5g speed.
The airtel network speed is only 2g, making false statements on advertisements - airtel subse tez!!

Please resolve my problem. I just want to unblocked message service to 1900 & i want it urgent.
My mobile no. Is [protected]

I am idea customer after saw your add smartphone network i made portability idea to airtel but i am fool by you in my living room there is no single stick range and what to talk about 4g speed, [protected]
On your airtel website it show open network, coming towers in your area, byt in that how much time it will take to erect new tower is not mention. And showing coming tower in our area company fool me & other customer.

On 27th nov 2018 accidently my number was recharged twice with rs 119, once through retailer and then through paytm.

I called up airtel customer support and they said not to worry as the vailidity would be extended after one recharge expires.

After 28 days the validity has expired and no extension has been provided to me and airtel customer support are asking to me forget rs. 119 and recharge again.

What kind of scam is this?

I am mehul maru, staying at a/201, arihant dham, house no. 296, arihant nagar, bhiwandi. There is no airtel network at my home since last 6 months.
I am airtel user since last 9 years.
There was no response from airtel customer care, i was surprised to know that they marked complaint resolved without any resolution.
Is this the service of airtel???
I request for final time now to resolve network issue at my home asap

Unable to connect to the internet when needed. Despite several complaints, the problem still remained the same. 4g signal is very week and 3g network doesnot support the internet access. Every time i try to pay using any e-wallet app, the data doesnot get connected. I have been reporting the same complaint repeatedly for the past 1 year... Even more than a year.

I have prepaid mobile connection with airtel. My mobile no is [protected]. I received sms that outgoing service will discontinue from 24th dec although i have account balance of rs 150. I treid to contact by email 121 etc to contact them but no response. Other customer care numbers are not responding and they charge for these services. Why such harasement? Trai must take strong action.

This pertains to payments bank. Transtion not allowed. Customers are required to visit payments bank points and update form 60 (Whatever that is). Why not provide a link on the official website or on the app itself to update this? When visited a airtel centre, the staff couldn't help ad they were unaware as to what needs to be done. There is no facility on the in-house dashboard for the staff to search for the information. Customers are bombarded daily with sms to go and update to maintain continuity of service. A tech-savvy company like airtel can come up with more innovative ways o[censored]pdation than making customers to spend time and energy visiting the points.

Hi,

Very poor voice/data network at my workplace.

No network bar is some locations and this cause a big issue, cant hear anything from the caller and the caller can not hear me, this is happening since last 6 months before it was working fine. Other ISP such as Idea/tata are having very good network hear.

I have been receiving call and SMS(from HP-ARTDTH) for last 10 days from[protected] by Mr. Siddharaj, Rakesh and Rahul. Message content is as below
”Gentle Reminder Ajej Recharge Karo Airtel Dth Ma Fakt Rs 1499 Ma 6 Mth + 6 Mth Free, With 25 Chanel LifeTime Free, 12 Mth Pachi 1149Ma12 Mnth FreeCall[protected]”

On call they have informed me by looking into my details that recharge with 799 and your base infinity package will automatically get connverted into Unlimited Dhamaka Offer where You will get 3 months + 3 Months free so total 6 months pack.

However, after recharging my account with 799 nothing has changed instead it is showing my balance 795. Also I got SMS from AD-AIRDTG as below
“Request for activating airtel digitalTV long duration pack could not be processed as existing pack is different from the pack recharge done. Please call[protected] [protected]”

I called up on[protected] as well as on [protected] to Mr. Siddhraj but both Mr. Siddhraj and customer care executive talked very rudely.

I changed my hellotune 7 days back and it hasn't played since and also customer care confirms that they have refreshed and it has been changed but it hasn't. No call back from technical team since then. My no. Is [protected]
I again called them 2 days back and no one called me since they told me, two times, and said that technical support team will call within 24 hours. The company who is known for disturbing customers with schemes hasn't called to solve a problem.

My airtel plan is of 150gb data per month. This much data is getting consumed within 20days. I continuously travel and i have my another home in usa as well. There my data consumption is not more than 40gb per month.
I am facing this issue for last 6months or so. I also raised concern on 121 but no help. I changed passwords multiple times but still its not fixed.
Is airtel stealing my data? Shall i go to consumer court or file rti?

This is to bring to your notice refund for 2 failed transactions dated 25/11/2018 for rs300 each and transaction id [protected] and [protected] done on 25/11/2018 for mobile number [protected] and complaint number conrc[protected] and conrc[protected] not done inspite of multiple reminders. One of the worst customer service which i have seen in my life. I am tired of sending repeated emails

Hi team,

I am a airtel subscriber and have paid 1200 rupees for getting free incoming for lifetime 13 years ago.
They promised that i will be eligible for lifetime free incoming calls.
Now they are asking me to recharge to get incoming calls.
I want to file a complain again airtel for relying on their actions as promised.

This is against the policy they have committed to customers.

Please check and do the needful

Thank you

I had placed a request for broadband connection and paid inr 500 online for the same. 10 days later after several follow ups i was told that the connection is not possible in my locality. I was asked to claim refund online from airtels website. Now when i am adding my details the website is showing my airtel number as invalid. Please let me know how can i claim this refund.
