Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hello,
I had given the request for cancellation of my Airtel broadband and fixed line account with service request number 99357314 on 24th August 2018. I had been very clear on all the calls I received from Airtel that I want to cancel my broadband account completely. But to my surprise they closed the service request stating I had agreed to another plan and continue the service which I never did. I have all the call recordings to prove my claim. I had clearly mentioned that I am relocating and I no more need this connection.
I request you to please help for complete cancellation of my Airtel relationship number [protected] (Airtel broadband connection [protected] & fixedline number [protected]).

MYPLEX TV service has been activated on 29/8/18 in the evening without my consent.This has happened earlier also with another airtel number of mine, problem was not resolved and we end up with deactivating the service .Kindly take this note seriously. I tried to make call on customer care number but could not get connected with the customer care executive.If airtel will be activating the unnecessary services without customer consent then we have to think to switch on to another telecom company.

Since a week I am getting a call form Airtel stating my bill is pending. As per my knowledge my bill is auto paid from my credit card. When I raised a complaint on calling 121 they said will check & will call back but till date no call from Customer care. A week by I received a call from Lady stating my bill is pending. As I raised the query & was expecting a revert from you I ignored the call. Today I received a text message from that lady whoever was calling me for the payment which is so worst. How Airtel can be so irresponsible by hiring staff like this. I am using airtel Postpaid from last few months & never got any issue of Payments as it was Auto debited. I don’t understand why is it happening.

However, the lady who texted me have no sense in communicating with people who are using service, she is so rude that she texted a message stating “ Madam itna Problem h na call uthane main to mera bil pay kar diya karo time pe aukat bil bharne ki nahi h or natak itha h” from [protected].

I mean is this any way to talk to people. I was just ignoring her I though this will get resolved, but I believe you guys have no interest in solving customers problem & on top of it this behavior is worst.

Till date I was quite & now you people are taking me on ride. So, let me take action against this.

Hi Airtel, I have raised a issue a month back 86754996 and the engineer came home to my billing address and checked the signal strength and then confirmed to be an issue and noted all needed info and left.

I have been checking my mobile App for update and the complaint was placed on hold and today when I check neither the App nor the website show that I have raised a request. When I chat with your BOT for the same issue it shared the request number stating your previous complaint is still in process.

Can you please look into this, it is very disheartening to see a giant like you not bothered about customer issues and problems and now hiding them from some interfaces as well.

P.S. I signed in for 4G mobile and Dongle and I dont get that support nor Speed, but the expectation from you I am sure is still the same to pay on time correct?

regards,
Surya

Well, don't know where i start, It been an ongoing tug-of-war with the biggest cheaters of the 21st century - Airtel. Since 2015, i have been facing multiple issue with these guys and apparently i have evidence only on Facebook Messenger.
Following are few of the most painful events i have went through all because of AIRTEL
1- Pathetic Network, I'm alway tensed as i don't know if i would be able to reach out to anyone in emergency or if any family member in trouble.
2 - My number was not reachable for so long that my dad couldn't reach out to me when he need help urgently.
3 - My sister was chased by some guys at Jorbagh metro and she couldn't make a call due to airtel network
4 - I tested it live, how competent airtel reps are when i requested to raise a complain and called back few hours later to get the ticket no. Not to my suprise, no ticket was raised.
5 - Almost lost my job as my client kept trying to reach me and I kept trying to call him and could reach out to him
6- Second time almost lost my job as i missed an important client call and they kept trying to reach me from Canada for over 40 mins
7 - I'm getting the same response for the past years - I quote
"Hi! We are continually working to improve and enhance our network. To implement this, a site up-gradation has been taken into consideration at the location and we will keep you posted on the progress. We value your trust in us!"
They are still considering a site for over 3 years and in the time being their network is close to nil.
8 - No help at the CUSTOMER CARE as no one is competent in doing the job, no proper documentation on my account, failing to raise a ticket, inaccurate info shared, no empathy and worst of all - They all are scripted
9 - Same issue in delhi and now the same excuse and issue in chennai as well. Same set of excuses and the same incompetency displayed here.
10 - Literally no follow ups and the number of times i have wasted my time calling them and getting a complaint has been such a waste as they just reply with a copy paste response.
11 - Airtel supervisor admitting on call that this THE BEST airtel has to offer take it or leave it. What was the point of being loyal for all these years, calling them and talking for hours on phone. The frustration and the anger thats boiling in me for all the lack of service they so calmly deliver.
12- Airtel yet have the balls to advertise that they are the fastest and has no remorse for the customer they are ignoring.
13 - Applette and nodal team are as usless as the CUSTOMER CARE rep.

Where would a customer go to get his complained heard. All what i want is to get the service i pay for. I can hardly you data as there is no speed no network and the level at which the network fluctuates is faster than the blink of eye.

Airtel fails to follow up and as recently as i can share, i was suppose to get a call back from they and its been over 4 days now that i haven't got a call.

I have 3 postpaid and 2 prepaid connection and i'm primarily been complaining for all. I struggled you their network in Delhi.
Now that i'm in Chennai, I thought i might some relied and to my surprise, its worse here. Fluctuation is so intense even when you are residing in between 3 of their towers.
And surprisingly again i get the same response as they are considering a site here in Chennai also.

There are only 4 open tickets which are been put on hold with no update shared and i have to chase them for an update. if you ask the network team about what adjustments have been made and what tower, they are clueless and talk to me like ###.

**************************************************************************
Following is one of my recent complains to airtel and so far no response
**************************************************************************
Complain date - 25th August'18
********************************

Thanks to your supervisor while I spoke to simply stated that this is THE BEST network we have and that it.
So all those dropped calls, voice intrupptions and literally no internet speed nor the connectivity is your best network.
The following tickets
#[protected] May'17
#[protected] Aug'17
#[protected] Feb'18
#[protected] May'18
Are still open.
Apparently, only 4 tickets are still open after several tickets I raised. Well there are one 7 or 8 in system. What happened to all the other tickets I raised. Well, I was fooled by your so competent representatives who said they'll raise a ticket and network team will reach out to you with 48hrs. Well they haven't reached anywhere.

Ticket #76134989 is open since may 2017. I get an update in the month of July'18 and so much for an update that the lady hung up on me the min I said wow!!

Well I quote the network team

"Hi! We are continually working to improve and enhance our network. To implement this, a site up-gradation has been taken into consideration at the location and we will keep you posted on the progress. We value your trust in us!"

They are still considering a site for years and haven't confirmed a site yet.
###!! For how many years would you consider, we live considering our human lifestyle, max 65 to 75 years at the max. In this time span if you take 3 to 4 years jus to consider, how many more years to implement and when would we finally get some network. Well can you promise my kids may have better network than me. Can you say so!! Hell No!!!

You guys talk about TAT, when was the last time any of your reps followed up on time and yet you are bold enough to deny airtel secure but because he couldn't raise his claim with 48hrs. How can one do anything on time with such powerful network.

Thanks you Airtel india Airtel for such amazing customer experience that I had to reach your supervisor what's the role of a supervisor. Get some competent people to work under you, who report and share the right data, help you improve.
Today you just showed what you get for being loyal to Airtel.

Your network rep doesn't know what changes are done and yet ask me to check the network.

You can get monkeys for cheap to sit in front if a computer and read what is there. Get some work done. And followup and stop lying. I'm done with you. May now one else face what I face with you all. #PatheticAirtel #AirtelStopBeingGreedy #QuitAirtel
******************************************************************************
Response i get is on 30th Aug'18
Hi! We are constantly working to upgrade and enhance our network. Your address has been incorporated in our future planning of new network sites, and we will keep you updated towards the same. Thank you, Bharti B"

I have call recording, several network fluctuation screen shots with time stamps and several of Airtel's pathetic responses.

NOT ONLY THIS

They provide Airtel Secure and when my phone dropped on the 14th of july'18 i tried raising the the concern via Airtel app and it wasnt responding when i tried to upload the docs.
I tried again the next day and finally out of meager frustration i called and raised a complain on the 18th of July about the app.
Due to airtel's fault now i was late in raising the claim and they denied my claim saying that i informed post 48hours.
Can you guys beat this.

All and all AIRTEL Is pathetic, greedy and no one should go with them as they are inhuman and the biggest liars that you''ll see this generation.

I am having 3 connections of Airtel postpaid and 1 of Vodafone and on the Vodafone number i use to get approximately 10 calls daily from the same women calling again and again . I am fed up with her and now i am so angry that i want to end all my connections with Airtel and want to port all my numbers . If you can help me - these are yhe phone numbers that are torturing me -

These are numbers that have called me today from 8 am to 1pm
Help me otherwise i will be complaining it to higher authority.

I opted for porting from Jio to airtel on 16th of July and it usually takes 15 days to port and yet it took 2 months for the airtel employer to port my sim as she didn't send porting request the first time. She even gave me a wrong sim after porting. I want appropriate actions to be taken again'st such employees who don't give service to the customers.

I got a post paid plan of 299 RS for number [protected].
For two months I received a fair bill. But this time I got a bill with RS 300 extra as one time charge and my total bill amount is 659.658.
I am very disappointed for such hidden charges. Why do a costomer will choose any plan if company will charge any cost according to their benefits.
This is definitely Not tolerable anymore.
I want my bill to be revised. And should be without any such extra charges.

HI,

I am using [protected] arirtel prepaid mobile from last 10+ years and i was rechanged and of rs 399 on June 8 2018 08:15 and the order number is[protected] and again i recharge of rs 399 on June 8 2018 same day and the order number is[protected] and i recharged twice in a same day still i am waiting for refund and i dint get any benefits like plan extension or refund kindly extend my plan, I hope you will do the needful.

Thanks in advance

Warm Regards
Airtel User

I have send messages thinking that my sms is unlimited but i cancelled the process and only few of my contacts received sms and my credit limit is only 3600 inr but why airtel is charging over 12, 000 inr, it's just so irresponsible they are or can't they just informed me that that my credit limit is exceeded... Please resolve my issue. What a common man do if this big companies always try to cheat us.

Last year after a month battle to get my number ported from rcom to airtel. The airtel team in calcutta gave me a wrong sim card and this being a postpaid number all my bank accounts and details were/ still are linked to it.
I tried resolving the issue and they have billed me even for the period the number was inactive. This number is my business number. After various calls to all the heads and nodal offices they promised me to issue a sim card with active services but the local stores denied that. They have been asking me to pay for the bills first and then they would think about whether to issue or not.

Its been months i have lost the patience of getting the number. Please help my account numbers right from paytm and others have been inactive because of the same and i have lost a lot fo business.

The concerned number is [protected]

Dear sir,

I have received a threatening call on behalf of the airtel payment recovery with delhi no. [protected] and asking me to pay the dues of the no. Which i have closed, i have explained that when i have closed that no. And was not working for long time, why should i pay after that the person has started behaving rudely and started abusive language.

Even if you have dues, airtel doesn't have rights to behave rudely with anyone.

Hope you will take the appropriate action.

Thanks & regards,

Ashwini mathur
