Airtel Complaints & Reviews

L received the following sms from my service provider airtel, stating -
"thanks for using gamesworldpocket. You have been charged rs 20.0 from your airtel mobile account. For more services, call 56789"

Though i never subscribe to this service. Even i did not hear about the service before. Then why they deducted 20 rupees without letting my knowledge.

I can remember, airtel did this kind of cheating by subscribing to dialogue baazi on 21st feb, 2013. Now they again started it by the name of gamesworldpocket.

Is not it a big conspiracy?

Kindly stop the service and do not cheat people like this way.
I want immediate refund of the deducted amount.
Kindly look into the matter urgently.

I went to airtel store in sector-120 noida, on 24-oct-18 to switch my postpaid to prepaid, paid my dues & did the required process & they told me that my number wlll start in 72 hrs. After 2 days, no network was there as my number was ported out of postpaid but not ported in to prepaid, so i went to another airtel store who told me to go to the same airtel store i went for the first time. I did the same, the airtel store team told me to wait for 8 hrs & after that when your number starts, do an frc & your number will start. I reconfirmed it from customer care executive. The next day, i. E. 28-oct-18, my number was ported to prepaid so i went for the frc recharge of rs 229. Even after the recharge, my number outgoing not started & is still in grace period. I tried contacting customer care executive multiple times but everytime they give an excuse like my number will start today (Which never did) or that wrong frc was done or go to the airtel store etc. I cant go to the airtel store again and again as i have a job to do as well. Please help to resolve this issue hassle free.

Recharged wrongly two times the same recharge of 349 on 6 oct 2018 at4:50pm bearing transaction i'd[protected]and[protected]during first recharge i received transaction failes message..
In consequent recharge i received two recharge successful message...
I want either extension of validityor refund of rs 349 after cancellation of any of two recharges.

"dear customer, we have observed no usage for your airtel mobile from the past 30 days. To enjoy continued services, please make an outgoing call /sms or use internet from your mobile."

When i already have validity till 2032 and enough balance (inr 100) why do i keep getting calls and sms asking me to make a call/sms or use internet? It is annoying and irritating. Kindly stop this.

Airtel is offering netflix subscription for its members having postpaid connection with monthly rental of more than or equal to 499. I tried to avail the offer but it gives me error. I have openned two requests with airtel in last 1 month but both have been resolved without providing any solution and without giving any update to me. It is very irritating as whenever i call they tell me they are escalating the issue but i don't get any help. I have also sent them several mails but getting no reply there as well. I am using airtel for more than almost 10 years now and do not expect such unprofessionalism from such a big company. Screenshots for the error that i get in the app is attached. Also both the request number which have been wrongly closed. Please see that i get a quick resolution to my problem.

Airtel — wrong deduction of rs.20 for bhakti sagar portrait

Today's 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 been using airtel post paid connection. Off late it has been noticed that when ever i dial a number, it first get connected to some random number and even without ring, someone already start talking. This happens invariably everytime and we have to cut and dial again to the correct number! And when we try to inform them, there is no place to place this complaint in their automated system. I am sure the connected calls are being charged.
This has been happening for past 2-3 weeks

I had recharged an incorrect pre-paid mobile number with rs. 448, and the next moment when i realized i tried contacting 198/121 which of no use, hence sent email to 121 as well as airtel presence with the correct number and transaction reference, but just got email as below:

Dear customer,

Thank you for writing to us. We’d love to help you with your query.

We’d need some more information. Dial 121 now to speak to your airtel experience advisor. We look forward to connecting with you.

Team airtel

When contacted airtel customer services, they were like call the person to whom the money was recharged and ask them to reverse it. Doesnt seem like proper option by such a company. I spoke to 2 executives on this and both indicated that they cant help. So my rs.448 is gone now.

Respected sir,

I have brought an airtel 4g hotspot zte (Model : mf920v) from your airtel representative on 20 october 2018.
But the very first day after my activation (24 october 2018) of the sim card (Phno:[protected]),
It is not connecting to the internet & the speed is very very slow so that i can not do anything with that much speed.
It is completely useless for me. So i need a solution to connect the device or i want to return this back and want to refund my money.

With regards,
Anup kumar

Airtel — wrong deduction of rs.20 for bhakti sagar portrait

On oct. 13th received a sms that 20₹ deducted from my airtel mobile a/c. [protected]
On oct. 26th received a sms that rs. 20 deducted from my airtel a/c.

Balance deducted without my permission, i dont know whether both services of bhaktisagar portrait and primetime 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.

This morning (27.10.18) l (Cell ph no [protected]) received the following sms from my service provider airtel, stating -
"thanks for using gamesworldpocket. You have been charged rs 20.0 from your airtel mobile account. For more services, call 56789"
I never did use the stated item, nor did l ever opt or ask for it. Forcing such payments on to customers by the mobile phone service provider amounts to cheating and unfair trade practice.
I want immediate refund of the deducted amount and non-recurrance of such incident.
Kindly look into the matter urgently.

Dear Sirs,
My Wife Airtel Mobile No.[protected] is not working outgoing calls today 27.10.2018 saturday due to your Airtel office is cut. Please note that the Credit balance of Rs.28/-also is there. Above number is given all government and relatives. This is not correct. Please treat this is most urgent and reconnet allow outgoing calls.

I have submitted the complaint against airtel in the month of may18 that i am not able to use the services for which i have subscribed for 4g services but at my location i hardly getting 2 g speed because of network coverage issue.
I have been told there is not immediate solution for this, so i have given them 7 months but still they are not able to fix.

And every i have to pay for 4g service.

With regards, i want to tell u that i have not subscribed for any prime zone services and my airtel account balance is deducted without my consideration of ₹20 with ni reason. Please take some stern and necessary steps in this regard and refund my account balance. Thisb thing was also happened with me in the past. Thos company is a minting machine which defrauds customers and con them.

I have converted my airtel postpaid into airtel prepaid yesterday, today the verification done and message came the number is active after that i tried to recharge the number a 4 times (3times 249 and 1 time 199 from different payement banks and also from airtel money ) each time amt.deducted from my account but message came airtel declined the transaction . I tried to call the customer care and it said due to unsufficient balance it couldn't be connected . I tried to fill some top up but 1000 is the min. amt for topup . Please suggest what could i do to enjoy services as the way to active a number is so ridiculous, airtel must have proper guidelines to indicate some one.
