Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I had requested for my number ([protected]) to be transferred from vodafone to airtel. As per the text message i received, this was done and vodafone has already switched off their services but when i am trying to use the airtel sim, it just shows no service.
I have tried to change the network settings to manual & have tried to select airtel network 5-6 times but this has not worked.
This is the only number i have and all my business calls come on this number which means in a short while when my clients try to contact me they will not be able to do so.
When i have tried to email airtel i get an email advising that the email id is not validated and asks me to validate it. When i click on validate it says its going to send otp on my number which i should confirm. Now how in god's name can i see the otp when i am complaining about no service in the first place.
If this is the level of network and service on the very first day, i am seriously doubting myself and wondering if i made a mistake switching to airtel.

My cell no. Is [protected] (Gujarat circle). Few days earlier airtel company reduce my incoming & outgoing validity from feb. 2019 to dec.2018. So my humble request to you kindly help me to increase my airtel sim card incoming & outgoing validity. If you want to contact with me via phone, my phone no. Is [protected].
Kindly, take necessary action from your end as early as possible.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Naren barat.

Dear sir/madam,

My self is nisha prajapati from ahmedabad, and using prepaid airtel number.

My friend is mr sanjeev patel, from ahmedabad, is using prepaid airtel number.

When we went to the airtel outlet for purchase airtel card that time they offered life time validity one time charges for start airtel facilities in our cell. Now they changed the policy and started rs.23 charges for every 28 days.

Now from since last 3-4 days we are receiving following messages from airtel :

"outgoing service on airtel stops tomorrow.in case of no recharge, rs.23 will deduct on 21-dec-18 from main bal for 28 day validity. Unltd./smart pack, dial *121*51#".

Please clarify that why we have to recharge every month? (If we have bsnl land line and wifi facilities at our home).

When airtel outlet people selling your card that time they give false commitment to the clients as well mislead to the customers.

Kindly change your policy and don't mislead to the customers.

One line reply should be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello

This is in regards to my Airtel connection [protected].

I placed a request to discontinue the services of the same. This had network issues and I hope you can see from the earlier records that this year more than 4 times I have complained about network issues. Each time for more than 10 days I couldn't access internet leading to loss of my work. And this kept re-surfacing without any solution from Airtel's end. I had to pay to a different service provider for continuing my work as my work is dependent on the interenet. Plus I have not been able to access internet at all in December and every time customer service people gave a different solution, neither of which worked. And I have kept making the payments regularly. 4 times is almost equal to no service of 1 month. You don't get paid if you don't work but I paid Airtel for services I haven't been receiving. So I asked to discontinue my services and not pay the last bill of 824/-. I conveyed the same to the appellate officer 'Sunny' who contacted me for a final confirmation. Today, a lady called 'Kakali' calls and asks me to make the payment and when I denied, she literally threatened me and and when I asked her name, she said 'go to any store and ask about me'. Is Airtel keeping goons as pet? Then she asked me if I am doing the balance calculation in my head?? Dear Airtel, obviously if the money is going out from my pocket, I will do it and not you, right?? I am really sorry to say that but her behaviour made me feel so. Airtel, hope you understand I can sue you for this. Further she added I am not available on my alternate contact no, whereas other Airtel executives can contact me, funnily this is the first call from her that came in. If I had to avoid I wouldn't have received this call. You should give me compensation for my loss of work, but as a courtesy you should waive off the bill. If I send you a legal notice for your staff's behavior I hope you know what can happen. There may be millions of Indians whom you fool but every Indian isn't a layman. I am not making the payment of 824/- for my loss of work, but any further misconduct from your end, I am going to escalate this to the necessary places.

I hope you will do the needful and I would really appreciate it. I am really worried about our nation's future with telecommunications companies like you.

Further to my discussion with customer support team regarding the complaint no sr 88929784 the issue is not resolved, but your team members has closed the complaint stating the issue is resolved. But actually the issue is still not yet resolved and i keep on sending the emails to appellate and i am getting messages stating the issue will resolve

I required the proper answer and i need to get this issue resolved immediately

Otherwise i need to escalate further in the consumer form. Which i don’t like to go beyond you and get this issue resolved

Hope at least i will get proper support and necessary actions for resolving this issue

Thanks and regards.

Hai this is thamil selvan. I used airtel prepaid number nearly 2years. 04/12/2018 at the date i give a portability to another number. But still it's not happening. I make call to customer service day after day, day after day. But they never make it. I have proof of giving portability and they send replay for portability. Also call records from customer service executives. So please make action and give some corrective solution.

Hi

I purchased airtel 4g hot spot device and sim[protected] and payed 4250 rps (6 month advance on 599 plan) on 18th dec in kumarswamy layout (Bangalore) airtel store.

There was no receipt paid for the amount paid and was told that i get a mail with bill details post sim activation. And sim activation happens only after address verification.

It's been 3days and there is no progress neither address verification happend nor sim activated.
If i go to airtel store they say address verification is pending and it will be done today which never happened till now and if i call customer care they say they don't have information on their system.

This is ridiculous process and airtel must monitor such pending status and help customer from experiencing such delay.

Dear Airtel,

As i'm using Airtel prep aid SimCard [protected] from 2 Yes from last 2 months i'm not getting the signal inside my Home so please do resolve this issue.My address is 16-2-837/A baqur bagh saidabad hyderabad 500059

I'm an Airtel customer since a decade, using the same number for ten years. I'm using this number as my primary communication and personal number. Linked to office/work and many other services. The account is active. But Airtel is threatening to Stop my service if I don't recharge with ₹35 regularly. This is wrong and unfair practice.
My account is active and there's activity in the sim. But threatening to recharge regularly, is unfair and it is upto me if I want to recharge or not. At the time of registration, I was told this was life time validity.
How come this is allowed by TRAI? I don't think TRAI set any regulation regarding this.
Please take an action on Airtel or they will lose a long and loyal customer.
My contact number is : +91 [protected]

Validity of my airtel number was expiring on 16-dec and i forgot to recharge, so is it any compulsion to recharge with rs23. How can u activate any plan which customer don't need without any confirmation from the customer. When customer has the choice to choose any plan then how can u make a particular plan compulsory for the customer.

Your customer care executives are misbehaving all the way just to prove that they are right and customer is wrong. They don't have the right to answer in yes or no 😂 (Wordings of your customer care executives and senior)
Waiting for ur reply.

I have been using the airtel number for more than 10 years and it was deactivated without any intimation when the number was in use. It was on international roaming and was in use. I was getting incoming call, messages and also used to do one out going call in each quarter.

Have sent multiple complaint for the same and have asked for reactivation but airtel is asking for my present but i'm on international visit

Dear team, i recharged my mobile no. [protected] by amount 446 rs inspite of 448rs online via airtel website. Kindly refund the money to my account or transfer the amount my airtel account. If extra amount to be paid to rectify, i have no issue. Kindly get it rectified asap. Transaction i'd was[protected]. I hope you do the needful
