Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I have not taken any airtel mpls connectivity, but i have received invoices from airtel [account no of airtel 20131340, bill no[protected], bill date 26-may-2018]. Earlier also around 2000 invoices was generated in my name, but i have not taken any connectivity from airtel. Misusing my name and address, even my id, which was given for airtel data card.

We bought an airtel 4g hotspot on friday, 25 may 2018. The airtel technician, mr. Rakesh tiwari, from the airtel gallery at irla, vile parle, mumbai assured us about speed, connection drops, range etc. Our office is on the 1st floor of the building. He particulary said that once activated, we will get range even at the ground floor level. It is almost 5 days now and we have been facing frequent connection drops. We cannot connect to the hotspot even from the next room. Signal reaching the ground floor seems like a remote possibility. Both download and upload speeds tested time and again using http://speedtest.att.com/speedtest/ are around 2 mbps and nowhere close to 4g speeds. The technician took rs. 1500 (Rs. 999 for the hotspot and rs. 399 for one month of postpaid service) from us and totally hoodwinked us. The bill that he emailed had an attachment with no extension and could not be opened. He changed a few settings on the hotspot on wednesday, 30 may, but to no avail. Airtel needs to fix these technical issues before marketing such a sloppy device.

I am not able to do the recharge for my airtel number. When ever i try to do the recharge amount gets deducted but recharge gets failed. When i check with airtel team they say there are no transaction history and even the amount is not refunded.

This is very disappointing. Funny thing is my last recharge was made of 149 and if i make a call it connects one day and on other day it says no balance.

Really frustrating.

The customer care called me from airtel and told that ur free postpaid sim will arrive and our executive will call u for that i have to postpone my meeting in another state but no call from the airtel executive in call they committed that u will get a call.
But no one called me. 2 times the call came for this ignorence i will do a case on airtel for playing with the people's head. As there was an important thing out there for me and i did not went because of waiting for that executive will come.

I want to reactivate my airtel number. I am working in uae and i got deactivated my number due to non usage.
Now i want that number. Last time i went to customercare and they replied that you cannot reactivate this number. I am using this number right from beginning and continues for 10 years. So i want to retrieve this number at any cost and i hope you can help me on this

I had requested for sim card from the contact center which wasn’t honoured. I first spoke to a rep named shrishti srivastav on 28thmay’18 who doesn’t even know my plan and was convincing me to go to a store. I had to disconnect the call as it was disappointing to see someone so incompetent however i called back again spoke to manpreet singh who took my request after explaining a thousand times that i have an iphone plan and need add on connection which is free on my plan.. He said he can’t find my address and to visit the store and when i yelled at him he said he will do it manually. I called again on 29thmay to track my sim where kuldeep verma took my request to escalate the issue an that i will receive a callback... Meanwhile i received a call from andheri branch where miss ankita tiwari called an was enquiring about my request. I was furious and disconnected the call. She called me back again an hour later promising me that it’s gonna be delivered and to keep the aadharcard ready.. I wasted my day waiting for the sim. Today i receive call from akhilesh from outbound team and he gave the dumbest answer that i don’t have to do a sim swap as i have 4g sim... He said the rep has mentioned that i wanted sim swap and not new add on connection. I called back ankita tiwari and she informed that the delivery boy could not reach me to which when i enquirer why there was no message left as i didn’t receive any missed call she asked to forget about it and that she ll send a rep and to wait for it.. This has been so far the worst experience and i am deeply disgusted with this behaviour. I will make sure i will spread this like a wildfire... Pathetic customer service... Worst behaviour by contact center

Respected sir,
I can't make calls to some specific numbers (Std specially) when i'm on roaming. I could make calls to them few days back but now i can't.
I've tried changing every setting i could, but it just doesn't work.
I can connect to their numbers from other cellphones but not mine.
I tried to even change my operator settings but nothing works
Please help me to resolve this.

After a long follow-up with airtel customer care team, airtel’s social media team and escalation cum corporate accounts team as all of them haven’t provided the resolution for my issue.

To be frank you people should be ashamed of claiming the best service provider in india, as you have failed in the following aspects:

1. Where your team is not able to identify the address located on a prime city.
2. Morons who’s writing back irrelevant mail’s which doesn’t have any meaning.
3. I’m aware that airtel has got a huge man power, but i swear it would be proved by providing a resolution for an issue. Instead using each of them on consecutive days of a week to recite the apology anthem to the user.
4. I have been escalating and got the address verification done during the 2nd half of april, but till date my sim card wasn’t activated. Out of frustration i made a fb post about the worst support provided by airtel.
5. Again stuck with the airtel social media team, stating that they would definitely resolve the issue. It has been weeks and nothing has changed.
6. Airtel social media team reinitiated the process again stating that address verification has been positive but the order has been cancelled without any reason.
7. I said as per supreme court’ recent judgement i don’t want to have my aadhar number linked with the sim card but airtel denied only way to get a sim swap or new connection is through e-kyc and they don’t accept any other govt. Proofs other than aadhar card.
8. After having a conversation of 25 mins your team member contacted me several time and finally gave commitment that they would check with the arc and confirm for the document submission for processing the activation of the postpaid connection.
9. So far nothing has been done. I have decided to quit airtel and i wanted my fellow people to know about the kind of service airtel provides for its existing customers and hope this would create an awareness among the common people.

Last month suffered with same issue, informed via mail and also to customer care. This month also suffering with the same. As unable to pay against my bill and it is displaying that my number is not a post paid number. After many follow up and many calls to customer care, still waiting for the service.
Airtel is still repeating the same. I dont know why are they ignoring to serve.

I have been billed for smsing 15 times from 26th to 28th apr on[protected]. This is an international number unknown to me and see here many others have been billed for same reason. There is no record showing such number in my sms history or contact details.
This is known issue to airtel authorities and yet customers have to seek help for getting billed unaware.

As you aware I received email from your Nodal Officer, Airtel, IT Park, Chandigarh regarding adjustment of Rs.300/- which were taken by your official illegally and without any basis. Further, I also made complaint regarding adding international messages of Rs.160/- in my ill, which were never sent by me. When I contacted your customer care, he informed me that these messages due to my IPHONE (Apple phone). It is strange that despite my repeated reminders, revised bill has not been sent to me i.e. after adjusting Rs.460/-. So, please adjust this amount in my bill as promised by you as already discussed. Otherwise I find no alternative but to approach Consumer Court for redress my grievance and I will also port my airtel mobile connection with other company.

I have nearly 2k in Airtel freehit winnings and redeem option is unavailable from nearly 3 weeks.

Previously it was working fine but due to bad network of Airtel it got stuck and since then the redeem option has turned black and i can't get the money to my paytm account.

I have emailed them many times and each they say we issue sent to technical team but at the end of the day the problem persists.

Please help me out so I can get the winning amount.

now these people even stopped replying to the customers mails.

now the airtel icon has disappeared from the airtel tv app and with it the winning amount has been disappeared.

the have given the deadline as june 14th but now this has happened.

please take action against such irresponsible people

I was offered a plan for my landline no. Under which it was told that i will pe provided with broadband connection of 16mbps and 100 gb data under same rental as previous. But after installation i was provided with only 2mbps speed and 50 gb data. When i contacted your airtel engineer he told me to call 121 and request upgrade to 16mbps free of cost. Telephone no. On which i called your engineer is[protected]. After which i called 121 and registered my complain and then my plan was changed to 799 rental without asking me. Now i want you to either dicontinue my connection or change my rental to previous one.

I got my airtel number in april, with post paid plan of rs 299, and international roaming pack of 149.

In my bills however, i am receiving an extra charge of rs. 649 every month under the heading "international roaming daily limit pack [protected]@ 649 with ul incoming nrc". It is written that it is a one time charge, however the charge is there on all the bills on every month.

As i am currently abroad, i called customer service, only to be told they cannot help me as i am abroad.

Please help!
