Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I used airtel wifi router and was not working fine in my deep city inside building. Not able to use 100 mb per day. It was dead slow. I reported and asked disconnection. They disconnected and balance payment i was trying to pay online they didn't enable in my account. They sent court notice and asking for payment. They forcing to come retail office to pay rupees. And few executives called and stating like rude guy and demanding payment otherwise they will do some action against me.

This is seems airtel met heavy lose and down due to other competitors. They are suppressing customer and doing this. As my wife is lawyer i am going to make in court and will proceed.

I already published all doc in my social network.

We have been using the corporate services for more than 9 years, we have never faced this problem earlier.

As per the telecom, refer to the discussion regarding the messages popping up on the mobile no [protected] which is overseas for the business trip. As per advised by you irp 649/- pack per day is auto activated if a person travels overseas and inspite of the auto activated pack, after which on the same day we activated irp 2999/- pack and even then the messages are not stopping. The messages which were sent on the mobile is attached fyr. The constant messages are interrupting the meetings and is not able to concentrate which is leading to mental harassment, moreover our trip is getting affected.

Look into the matter and resolve on priority basis. Also note we are not going to pay a single penny

Approached airtel customer care to convert my postpaid into prepaid. Initially, they asked me to come after 2-3 days, citing reason unavailability of the bill to clear dues. After pursuing, they said ok. But now they cant adjust security deposit towards the clearance. And after pursuing a little they said ok again to adjust but now they said: "we will charge the dues as mentioned in our system" which is not actual after monthly discounts and settlement will be done via cheque later"
I mean come on, we are in the digital world and you are giving so many lame excuses just to trap customer in postpaid.

Mobile number: [protected]

This is krishna chaitanya and my mobile number is xxxxxxx. I have got my mobile bill for the month of may as 1, 52, 610.58 rs and i was told this is due to my international roaming on april 23rd. I have got married recently and traveled to maldives on april 23rd. So at the hyderabad international airport there was one of the airtel relationship centre and the executive has told me to activate 149 pack which would allow me to get incoming calls and sms. He also said that if i pick the calls and answer them it would be chargeable and the same case with mobile data and if the usage goes beyond the credit limit the sim would automatically get barred. I have used mobile data for sometime thinking that it would not go much beyond my credit limit which is 4800. But later that evening i got a message from airtel stating that i have used mobile data worth 1, 52, 610 rupees. And today my mobile bill for the month of may is more than 1, 52, 610 rupees. And now when contacted customer care team they say that the credit limit will not be applicable if you are in international roaming and would be valid only in india. I have tried reaching nodal officer and also enterprise team of airtel and they are asking me to pay the complete amount and they cant do anything on this. There has been miscommunication from airtel and now they are claiming that that its fault from my side. Also they have blocked all my outgoing services on 11th june saying that i have exceeded my credit limit.

My mom is an Airtel user and recently the issue with the network has made our life's a hell. We actually require a phone to call others or get calls. Lately, she isn't able to make calls nor getting calls. Please look into the matter as this is really annoying. And if the same thing continues we will be forced to Port to other networks.

I had upgrade my airtel sim to 4 g.. But now in 4g network it's working one day and next day not working at vile parle address ambewadhi westrun express highway..in advertising they show sab kuch try karna chaiye.. This is my first simcard.. At least mene sab kuch try airtel me kabhi nahi lethi aise third class network hai.. I already pay rs.399 for internet recharge..

My grand mother mobile no [protected] has been charge for an un authorised transaction on 8th june 2018 at 1:58am. The games club service was activated and 55rs has been deducted from account with any prior knowledge. When i called customer care they are saying lie that a message has been send while i cant see any message in sent items as well my grand mother doesnt know how to type a message. Seriously airtel you are giving this silly exuses and said they wont refund money and person who was on other started started yelling and stope d responsing while the call went for another 1 minute without any response from their side. I want my 55rs back and initiate my refund. I have all the details of transaction.

Dear sir very bad service in airtel connection. Now i have very bad experience with airtel connection because i want to convert post paid to pre paid connection but without start of pre paid connection stop my post paid connection. My connection was stopped from 7 june 2018 to till now i was recharged rs.128 in new sim of prepaid connection that's why i have bad experience from airtel company. I liked airtel connection airtel dish but i don't like because i faced harassment. Now i have no working of prepaid or postpaid connection. I have only one sim. My airtel no is [protected]

I purchased 4g hotspot from airtel on 09/06/2018. The airtel people themselves called me and gave me the device and charged 2900 as 6 months bill. My airtel no is [protected] and that person's no (Who gave me the hotspot) is [protected]. The hotspot is not activated even after 2 days. That person is not picking my calls and his phone is switched off now.

I woke up and as any person would do checked my phone. I found that i activated whatsmob service clearly not known by me. Just to be sure i checked the time i received that message it was 3:30 am. There is no chance of me activating that service. As soon as this happened i deactivated and got deactivating message immediately but didn't receive my money back. I called the toll free number and airtel app but couldn't find any option to help me. Why is that you can send a confirming message immediately but fail to send money back? This happened to me many times but most of the time i got my money back unlike this time. I think i can observe the pattern and happens when i have relatively more balance like 1000/- or 500/-. I don't think that a big company like airtel should resort to such cheap tricks.

I lost my mobile with sim card. So yesterday i had purchased duplicate sim but it has not been activated yet by you. I am in trouble because bad service of airtel. Today i have called many times to customer care and they said that we do activate it but it's not activated yet. I am facing very difficulties.
My name is sachin arya, and my airtel number is [protected]

My husband has an airtel number, he activated child plan for my number as i was also using airtel postpaid. After activating i was not able to use data. I raised complain and was told that problem will resolve in 48 hrs but that never happened. I called them again and they apologised and reopened the complain. The problem did not get resolved. I called again they reopened the complain again and this kept on going for 1 week.
Why the hell this company starts these kind of plan when all they want is to fool the customers.
It's been 8 days and i am not able to use data. I don't know what and how the company is going to pay me back for harassing and fooling.

Airtel — unable to send sms to 1900 for porting out

I have a poor connection from airtel. I had raised a complaint to airtel but till now there has been no improvement.

One the contrary the problem has aggravated and i have been informed that my cell phone is unreachable at times. This is impacting my work.

I was advised to send a porting message to 1900.

But i am unable to send sms to 1900, for porting out my sim from airtel to another service provider.
I am able to send sms to all other numbers like my friends and relatives.

I followed the procedure given for sim swap from 3g to 4g. I got a message for confirmation where i had to type 1. I did the same for which i got a msg
"wrong hlr gold sim, please try again with correct hlr sim number"
When i contacted customer care i was told to repeat the same procedure but to no avail. I had already contacted the customer care only after trying a few times. Customer care executive was inefficient and just kept on saying to try again. I would like this to be resolved soon failing which i am planning to change my operator.

I recharged my airtel no [protected] with ₹399 (Unlimited calling & 1.4gb data per day for 84 days) on 09/06/2018.

On 10/06/2018 i recharged the same no with ₹199 (Same benefits as former with 28 days validity) by mistake.

But i didn't get any benefit from 2nd recharge not even added data or extra validity. When i called customer care they told me "you will only get benefits of 1st recharge 2nd recharge won't be accounted. This is company's policy"

I request either refund or added validity on my current plan

Dear sir/madam,
I am a foreigner, using an airtel sim card [protected] in hyderabad for 2 years.
Today (10/6/2018), my iphone showed no signal of airtel, instead it showed "no service".
My question is that it is a common problem of airtel network today, or my sim card is expired that i cannot use it anymore? If so, how can i check my sim card expiratory date on website?
I am waiting for your response soon.
Thanks,

Complaining about the bill discrepancies with airtel since 4 consecutive months. Despite complaint over call and mail every month they have been charging me additional rs. 80 in monthly bill for a value added service i never availed. On complaining they said its a technical issue and has been resolved but after that it happened again thrice. They refuse to check the bill before issuing. Though they have adjusted the money but this has been happening every month and is quite a harassment. Request help in resolving the issue permanently so that i don't have to check my bill and raise complaint month over month. Compliant raised earlier via email, trai and call. I am fed up and already looking for mnp. Ref no. For earlier complaint [|bal|ref60130939|].
First they claimed it's a technical issue then they said it's not their fault. Every month i hear a new excuse but no resolution.

Hello

I purchased inr 2499international roaming plan for germany on 7th june 2018 from "my airtel app", before leaving india. It includes "unlimited free incoming, 5gb data, 100 sms/day, 500 minutes of local/international call".

Since, the time i have landed in germany my 4g data is working but my voice services are not. I recharged my mobile with inr 300 today but all of that vanished as soon as i called from my mobile to india and received one voice call.

Just look into it asap, i am losing on my professional calls and important contacts. It is very necessary that my services are restored with immediate effect.

Also, pass me y our international customer care number over which i can call you.

Thanks
