Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi sir/ma'am,
This is adarsh and my airtel no. Is [protected]. I have karnataka sim, and i'm using it in uttarakhand on roaming with up to date top up on roaming plans. I'm not receiving any incoming calls. It say i'm out of coverage for the person who calls up on my airtel no. I have no issues with the signal strength or making any outgoing call. Please fix the problem soon, i'm facing lot of problems due to this. Only other option i can think of is to port the sim.

Airtel deducted balance of almost 280 rupees under the name of value added services which we didn't initiate and gave back 80 rupees only upon complaining.
First they deducted 80 rupees in two installments, which i didn't pay head to and deactivated service, after one week again deducted 120 and 80 rupees. Upon followup with customer care only 80 rupees were returned, they said they were not able to return remaining 200 rupees.

Some days back wap service of silk video suddenly got activated and next day when i checked balance i saw deduction of 35 rupees. For this, i did not even receive any sms or notification, and when i asked about this the floor supervisor (Jagadish m) of bannerghatta branch behaved rudely and when i questioned him about the tone, he was rude to say his tone is like this only asked me to do whatever i can.

Dear sir,

This kiran, i am using airtel fixed line services since august 2017. I have taken the fixed line under 1199 plan. After 1 month i found the usagage no way useful for me i have raised a request for cancellation for which people from airetl has called me from toll free no and requested for continue with fixed line with 50% discount in rental, stating next month bill will be only 600 /- instead of 1199 rs. Due to which i have argred to continue.

Mean time after 5 days i found there is no update in the billing and asked the same to customer care and got reply stating will reflect in the appa and portal shortly but i found no update even after 1 month and bill also generated for 1200 /- i addressed the same to customer care they said to pay 600 and next month it will update and i continued to pay 600/- every month up to november but finally my account is showing a due of 1800 + penalty - clearly it is not my mistake and i paid the amount i agreed actually without delay. Later by february airtel agreed to wave off the previous amount and asked to continue with new plan 780/- we accepted for wave off the previous amount and continue with new plan but again wave off has not given and so i have not paid the bill since february to i have continuously asked airtel to solve the issue but took too much of time to solve the issue and finally brought the time to billing date of month and billed the amount. I have rejected to pay the bill because even i have not used for single call / data. Next month airtel stoped services but continued the bill till today[protected]
Note : from our side we have approached airtel may time (Per month 10 - 20 calls to customer care) but we have not received any solution - finally i understood the situation and requested to stop the billing until airtel provide the solution. Airtel is not even considering my request and not customer care representatives are not even updating my request to the next level - airtel way of treating the customer for solving the issue since 10 months is really irretating - please show way to take the action

Airtel activated two services on my number in two days without my consent. 1 service they activated on[protected] and other activated on[protected].I called customer care and told them you activated services on my number but they denied it.Refund my money soon or I'll not use airtel anymore. My number is [protected]

I initiated a transaction of rs 448 towards add money into my airtel payment bank wallet on 14 jun 2018 but the amount was debited from my bank account and not credited in my airtel wallet. And now they are not doing anything towards refunding my amount into bank.
my airtel payment bank account no [protected]

I would like to inform you that you are loosing customers because of lack of will to serve customer issues and not entertaining customers in your stores responsibily.

I went to your store in kormangala 3-4 time to convert my punjab airtel number to airtel karnataka but attitude of employees is like they are doing govt jobs and just sending custoners from one desk to another.
Anyone can see frustration on thier face either mgt is not good or employees moral values.
After my 4th visit decided to go for no. Portability and went nearby vodaphone store there every customer is having tokken no. Of their turn to get help and cutomers are waiting calmly because they know when their turn is and employees are very enthusutically working anyone can see that helping nature.
Within 1 hour my no. Converted to karnataka vodaphone and now i am enjoying postpaid services.

Work fast to educate your employees how to behave and please start tokken system waiting mechanism for customers. If you want to survive long.

Thankyou.

I am a old customer/consumer of airtel service and been using the service for long time. Recently i moved to uae for work and asked airtel to activate international roaming. It was all good for first 3 months jan-march. I came back to india for vacation and then received a call from airtel customer service offering a new package/deal stating i just have to pay rs 149 every month while i am overseas and will only get charged rs649 per day only when i receive a call or do any data usage. It was a nice offer for me because i just wanted my number to be active while i stay in uae and no intention o[censored]sing data or receiving any call or send any sms. A month later i received a bill of approx rs4000 charging me rs649 each day i stayed in uae. I was shocked and reached out to customer service via email and gave them all the proof i had and explanation i gave on what was offered to me. At first they got my problem and credited back/waived the amount and i paid only some of the amount approx rs1000 as my bill. Now this month again they sent me bill of huge amount i. E rs13000. I was so shocked looking at it. I again reached out to them on the same email chain and explained the same situation. But this time they are not at all trying to understand and keep on asking me for money and pay the bill. I simply cannot pay the bill or amount so huge for something i never used. They are accusing me o[censored]sing data and sending sms or receiving call which i never did. I know how to use my phone and how to turn off the data in phone itself. Please help me resolve this case as my intention was just to keep my sim active and nothing else but they are charging me for so many things and for such a huge amount which i am not capable of paying in the first place and this is looting. I have emails for the communication i had with customer service which i can provide if needed.

I have been overcharged as part of international roaming with a bill amount of 16000 inr. I have enabled the international roaming for 149 inr from my airtel app which do not provide any description and breakdown of the tariff.

I traveled on may 9th and on may 10th i got a msg stating you have used 3mb approx rs 2054 in international roaming and as a precaution the internet service will be blocked soon. I immediately turned off my mobile data and only used wifi services from the resort. Also i activated the data barring in international roaming was activated and i got the msg for the same. Inspite of this i got a bill amount of 16000 inr.

I do not know how this amount was arrived at and the charges was not mentioned anywhere on my airtel app and instead of turning off the data i was charged extra amount other than the initial bill amount of 2054 inr.

Airtel has fraudulently charged the extra amount and i need this to be waived.

I have activated international roaming on my post paid connection on 25th may 2018 for a period of 10 days while visiting france. The international roaming pack for 10 days is rs.2999/- and for 30 days it is rs.3999/- since my trip is only for 10 days i chose the 10 days package and exactly on 4th june 2018 i boarded the return flight to chennai. Even during my visit i had used my phone only for one or two calls and did not send any sms at all.

While this being so airtel has auto renewed the ir package on 4th charging me another rs.2999/- plus gst and another rs.649/- which i do not know what for without any alert and any consent from my side.

When i contacted them they said it is as per the ir package for post paid connections and that i have got to pay.

If i had taken a prepaid connection they would not have charged me like this. Moreover when there is package for 30 days for rs.3999/- i. E. Just rs.1000/- more how can they renew for the 10 day tariff which is absolutely arbitrary to fleece the customer.

Airtel activated value added services gamesmarket without any confirmation from my side and deducted unnecessarily 49rs from my account. They are looting amount by simply activating some services

Find the below messages sent by airtel

Thanks for choosing gamesmarket on your airtel mobile. You have been charged rs49.0 for 7days. A/c balance: rs15.54 at 06:11. To deactivate, call or sms stop to 155223

But i never opted for this service
