Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Day by day, airtel is providing the worst network services, both in data network and calling network.
When I call customer care, they say that the work is in progress of network.
I think their network problem is lifetime work. Airtel should close the network. At present *JIO* is the best network provider retailer.
So bye bye Airtel
I am going to port all my sim cards with my friends and family into JIO.

Today's received a sms at 12:44 pm that 20₹ deducted from my airtel mobile a/c.

Balance deducted without my permission, i dont know whether service of bhaktisagar portrait has been started on my airtel no or not. Without any request and deducted rs.20 from my account balance. Please stop service and return my balance as i have not requested for this service...

A few days back i filed a complain agaist airtel because there is no network in my sim card whereas everyone else have full network. It shows emergency calls only and i am unable to use my sim for more than a week now. Airtel did send me an email but nothing worth helping was there and my sim is not working still. I leave far away from home i need to call people. I have mailed airtel many times but they are not solving the issue. Kindly look into this matter.
Thank you

I had recharged an amount of rs 448 on 2nd october 2018 by debit card from the airtel site for the number [protected]. The transaction id is [protected]. The amount was deducted from my account but the recharge was unsuccessful.
It would be of much help if airtel solves my issue at the earliest.
And that is my full complaint. Now when i try to submit this it says my complaint is too short.
Anyways, please resolve my problem, however small it be.
Thank you.

Rude behavior of staff in the Airtel Outlet. The behavior of female staffs in the Koramangala, Airtel outlet is pathetic. The outlet is situated near NGV Signal, 6th Block, Koramangala. Their behavior is too rude & it seems as if they are doing a favor by answering your queries

Today second time i received a sms that 20₹ deducted from my airtel mobile a/c [protected]
Balance deducted without my permission, i dont know whether service of bhaktisagar portrait has been started on my airtel no or not. Without any request and deducted rs.20 from my account balance. Please stop service and return my balance as i have not requested for this service.

I have deposited ₹5500 against my dth account no :[protected] of my digital tv. I have subscribed for two connections against this number
I have been availing primary pack from the very beginning. But now you have changed my connection to prime infinity pack and adjusted the entire amount against one connection with the result that i am not now been getting connection against the second tv.
I requested your consumer service centre day before yesterday but to my dismay no compliance has been made so far.
Now i am forced to lodge a complaint against this for redressal of my grievances and finally request you to adjust the amount deposited by me against the two connections as per past packs failing which i shall be compelled to scrap my ties with airtel besides taking this issue to consumer court being law graduate myself.
This is fourth reminder.
This company is sucking my blood
I have today deposited ₹235 for the second connection having same number, but that also went waste and my second tv is still not operative
What should i do
I m being harassed for no fault of mine
None hears here in india
All complaint centre n consumer care centre should be closed
Consumer be left to die
Will anyone hear?

Airtel has charged for gps services saying as internet is used. This has happen when i went an international trip by activate international roaming [protected]@ 149 booster package.

As per the airtel amount due is rs.35638.11/- when i asked them to send issue to their local technical team they have sent got the confirmation saying all internet charges are incorrect and then rs. 26, 118 (Rs. 22, 133.8/- towards international roaming charges rs. 3, 984.1/- service tax) has been cleared.

I am a previlaged customer to airtel since 15 years. They have disconnected my number without any notice or reminder because of non payment of bill.
My credit limit is 3000. My bill amount due is 836/-. Its not the amount that matters to me. They have not given any reminder / any call / atleast caution of non payment of bill while making calls. I never expected such type of irresponsible behaviour from airtel. Now since yesterday my mobile number is not working. Even though i paid the due amount, they have not activated immediately. Still i am suffering from their irresponsible behaviour. I am an academician and a financial advisor. I have given my airtel no.in all my campaigns. Today i lost many leads because of this issue.

I prabin kumar dash ([protected]) took internet connection from airtel in bangalore by paying amount 2829.00 for 3 month plan. I did online payment. They told me within 2 days they will give me connection. But they gave me connection after one week. Only for 23 days internet worked properly then it disconnected. Then i called to customer care after 4 days one technician came and solved my problem. Next day again it disconnected, so i requested to airtel for disconnect my service permanently and refund my remaining balance amount. They disconnected my service but did not refund my balance which was amount 1887.00. So i am requesting take proper action against so that customer won't be get cheat by such type of fraud organisation.

To whom it may concern

Sir,

I am heavily harassed by your customer care executives and airtel store executives regarding issuing duplicate sim. I am an airtel customer having mobile number [protected] which is of west bengal's number. I have recently shifted to jalandhar, punjab. I found the sim was not working since 1st october morning as it is showing emergency call only. When tried with network selection, it shows different network available but while selecting them the message appears as "can't connect to this network right now. Try again later.". Removing sim, switching off phone didn't work even after trying several times. I have called several airtel customer care several times, and reported this issue (Service request number rsewk[protected]). I have informed them that my sim is of west bengal and i stayed at jalandhar, punjab, they asked me to visit nearest airtel store and collect a duplicate sim card to load my existing number. As per the suggestion, i had traveled to about 10 km to reach the nearest airtel store at hargobind nagar, phagwara, punjab. After checking my phone number they asked me to provide aadhar number and took biometric fingerprints and issued me a duplicate sim. They asked me to wait for 4 hours to activate the sim. So i had to return from there without activating the sim. After 4 hours, when i found the sim was not working and was showing similar results like earlier i had to make another call to the airtel customer care executives (Service request number c4gsp[protected]) and described the whole situation. He informed me that due to network congestion issue, it may take another 4 hours. So he asked me to wait for another 4 hours to activate the sim.
Even after the 4 hours, the sim didn't work, i called again the executives and told them about the problem. She informed me to visit the airtel store once again to check whether the sim was ok or not because my number was showing active at your service point, but i didn't get the signal. Even after asking it repeatedly, they inform me that the only possible solution is to visit that airtel store. Due to holiday on 2nd october, i didn't visit the airtel store expecting that to be closed on that day. However, i again visited them on 3rd october and described them the whole thing. They again issued me another duplicate sim. Again they asked me to wait for another 4 hours. Even after asking that to activate as early as possible, they couldn't help so i called your customer care executives and enquired about the status (Service request number qsime[protected]), they asked me to wait 4 hours before it gets active. Even after not getting activated, i had to call back again to airtel customer care executives and they inform me that my sim change request had been generated at 8:04 pm, about 2 hours later than the time i have received the new duplicate sim, so that would take another 4 hours to activate. I specifically asked all your executives as well as the airtel store executives whether the problem is arriving due to my number from west bengal and the duplicate sim is from punjab, they didn't say anything about it and asked me to keep patience for 4 hours more. But alas, my phone didn't receive the signal yet. I called back your customer care executives describing the whole issue. One of your executive mr. Ravi kumar informed me that duplicate sim can't be activated from other states as my airtel number was from west bengal. So i have to collect duplicate sim from west bengal only then it will work.
I was just disgusted with the behavior from all these executives. For the wrong and fabricated piece of information, they provided to me, i had to suffer a lot. As this number is linked to all my connections and other official works, i am in deep trouble, and in that case, all such executives mislead me and harassed me so much that i had to visit the airtel store twice, had to make several phone calls to your executives and for the last three days i had to live without the phone calls, sms from family, friends and official personnel. I am just disgusted with this experience. I wish as a professional body, you could take the strictest action against such criminals and resolve my issue. It is not possible for me to visit west bengal soon to get the duplicate sim. I had just recharge my account for 84 days plan with 399 rupees but i am sure it is now going to be a waste. Please tell me how can i port my number to any other service provider without changing the number under such circumstances that my existing number is out of airtel network.

I have airtel prepaid sim ([protected]). The sim got corrupted and was not working. I went to airtel store in punjabi bagh (West) on 23rd september, 2018 for replacement.

They asked me for rs. 25 for new sim. My concern here is that it is airtel sim which is not working and i am the one not able to make calls using that sim, then why i should be paying anything at all to airtel for purchasing new sim. Mr. Avinash (Airtel executive) said that amount has to be paid for the material cost of new sim. A sim costing rs. 25 is not something i can understand. Moreover i also asked mr. Avinash if i will get payment receipt for this purchase. On this he replied that they will note down my email id and mail the receipt. At that point receipt was not available.

How can airtel sell sim if they cannot produce receipt of the same? More importantly why should i pay for the product of airtel which is not working?

Myself is ajay, i am existing airtel dongel customer.
My dongle number is : [protected]
Internet issue happening since 10-sep-2018
I am existing customer since last 4 years. But still airtel does not care for its customer. I am getting so poor service since last one month. But airtel is not able to resolve these issues.in my area the internet used to work fine. But now a days its not working entire day. Even in night as well the speed is very slow and nothing works at all. So pathetic service.
Airtel mobile app is also worst, it does not have any option to support. No support links work at all. All fake sections are there. Pathetic mobile app which has no use of installting it.
Is there anyone who could help to improve the services from airtel and resolve the internet issue.
Desirable resolution: as i am not able to use internet properly since last one month, i wan't reimbursement of one month of bill and get the internet connectivity resolved asap.

Regards,
Ajay

With my all request i haven't used any prime zone services and my airtel account balance is deducted without my consideration of ₹20 with no reason. Please take some stern and necessary steps in this regard and refund my account balance. This thing was also happened with me in the past. This company is a minting machine which defrauds customers and con them.

Games world service activated @25/- for 5 days on 28th sept.2018 vide txn id s[protected] without my permission. Please refund rs.25.00 immediately. Mobile no.[protected]. I do not understand why such services are activated and charges without intimattion? It is really a harrassment for the users and would request the company to issue strict guidelines for the marketing staff. Itt is riduculous.
