Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I have been charged unwanted amount for rs 105 in the name of "famino" service which i have not opted even not knowing about that service and main balance amount deducted on my airtel prepaid number [protected].
.
I feel in this way now airtel started cheating people and deducting balance money and loosing the trust of valuable customers.

Please return the deducted amount to my main balance in improve your system so that it should not happen in future to any customer and gain the trust of your customers.

Hello, from the past 5 months i am unable to recharge my airtel mobile number [protected] from online. We tried to recharge with rs 10, rs 100, rs 448 none of them works. Each time when we try to recharge it's get failed although we have sufficient money in the bank. We also tried with paytm, friend paytm, different bank accounts, however, irrespective of payment methods it gets failed.

I have visited airtel store & they can not do it from online either. As an alternate they are recharging from backend. None of airtel store employees & customer services are able to help resolve this. Often time shop keepers are very rude to me.

I am very frustrated due to i have to visit airtel shop each time. If it can't get resolved in few days i might have to choose other providers.

Hi, Iam Jayappa
And have recently shifted to Airtel dth and already facing problems regarding Error code B001
I have contacted the technician to fix it but no action has been taken.
This B001 error is frequently appears
Please check properly and fix it permanently
Almost three days, we suffered without telivision
Attend urgently and do the needful
Thanks in advance.

I registered my google pixel on airtel secure on 13th march 2018. On 2nd april i applied for my damaged phone insurance (Which damaged on 1st or 2nd april). They rejected my claim by saying "reclaiming the same damages for which claim already rejected".

The actual story is this :
At first, my phone was damaged on 2nd march and they rejected due to imei number mismatch which was their mistake because they never told me about my change of motherboard (As it was replaced by airtel only and they never sent me the details of my phone repair). So i got repaired my phone from the service center.

Now after my phone was repaired again i registered on airtel secure on 13th march 2018
I uploaded my phone pictures and everything. They successfully verified my details.
But now when i was claiming my insurance on 2nd april 2018 they rejected by saying i am claiming the same damage i applied before on 2nd march 2018.

I mean are they dumb or what. They verified the pictures and everything when i was registering their service.
I want my phone to be repaired. I can't bear the cost of rs. 40000

Dear airtel dish tv team,

I need to bring your a kind information that i am having a dth connection and as usual i am a normal subscriber. I have done recharge on 22 sep 2017 with 1989 rs which will work for an year. But unfortunately i got a message on my tv screen about low balance.

This issue was occurred due to back-end technical error which was confirmed by sr supervisor rinku pauri on 12th may. This issue was happen on 29th march 2018 at 3:48am and i haven't even requested for upgraded. I have raised a query but your technical team advice that you will loose 6 month balance so i have drop the idea and not raised the upgrade request. Before upgrade you can check that i haven't call for upgrade prior to day or two. Logically you can think that a subscriber can't call for upgrade at morning 3:48 am.

From last two days i have called 5 times but not get responded in positive direction. Each and every time call was forwarded to sr supervisor but the issue is still open. I have to receive call from back end to get this issue resolved but which was not yet happen. I have received two complaint out of which one was closed without getting issue resolved. Neither i got message about complaint opening nor for closure.

Please try to be in a position of customer if their account balance get deducted by technical end issue. Then why should customer has to suffer.

Sir, i am anupam dixit and my no is [protected] i submit request to convert postpaid into prepaid at friday noon. After that in morning i connect to customer care to continue my postpaid with the offer provided by airtel service team (49rental) they assure me it is possible but unfortunately my postpaid no is convert in to prepaid, pls take action and provide me 49 rental plan in postpaid

I requested to migrate from postpaid to prepaid for [protected] but you disconnected the number. This is illegal. This is mistake from your service center representative. He told that the same sim will work as prepaid. I got call from customer care and he offered better plan so same day even i cancel my prepaid request also. Please start the service asap. Alternate number is [protected]/[protected].

I have ported my number from aircel to airtel. But there is no signal in that sim and my old number has stopped already. I am loosing my business calls and i am going to consumer forum against it.
This is such a bad service for users like us. We wholly depend on our phone.

Your associates keep bugging us about your plans and finally when we try it we have to face this. I urge you to start my number immediately

This is most unfortunate for a senior citizen who has a limited earning & found a frequent deduction from a/c against which is an unacceptable & an unwanted act by the company raise a signal of an act of "fraudulent nature" when the sms no. 155223 is also not receiving the "stop" messages from customers. A total approx. 90 / - rupees has been deducted without any consent from my a/c sometime as "lifestyle" and some time as "super store" during past 45 days.
The matter is serious & need your immediate attention please. As an old customer i expect the credit against all deductions made (Approx. Rs. 90 / -) which were without my consent. I am having a simple mobile (Not android) & using this number since quite a long time. I was never had any complaint against the airtel but this type o[censored]nnecessary & unwanted deduction compelled me to write this complaint with a hope of positive reply.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Dear nodal

I have taken a new connection for airtel digital tv thru there airtel app vide consumer number [protected] on 1st april 2018, i have been informed that i will get 3 month subscription with hd channels, after installation it has been informed that i will received only 1 month subscription and 3 month hd subscription after that i have requested for disconnection of my connection vide complaint no 72773 819 dated[protected], and they confirmed that my installation amt will be refunded, but till date none of there executive turned up nor i have got my refund, after 43 days when i called up to airtel customer care executive i have been kept on hold to check the status for my disconnection for approx 20 min they disconnected my call and again when i called back i have been said by another executive that we are working on your request you will be shortly informed without knowing my full concern.

Want to know that such a big company always want to cheat consumer and rob there pockets?

Why is your executive have no idea about your services and products?

Why does customer gets robbed by this types of companies??

Even if the line is disconnected we never gets call from there executive to provide solution or to inform the status.

Even they ask to pay activation fee extra other than base pack? I am really surprised to hear that i am tata sky customer from last 8 yes i have never ever heard the fee for activation.

Well i believe that i have full right to get above answer and get my hard earn money back as i have been cheated

I have raised several times mnp request to airtel postpaid connection. I have been made to visit almost 10 times to showroom due to in proper communication between airtel valsaravakkam branch showroom and airtel main office.. Mismatch in address, email ids etc. Its been more than 1.5 month, still nothing is progressed, twice my mnp got expired... Very pathetic service... If they can't do... They don't have right to say... Come join airtel through mnp... Also the courtesy they showed during each of my visit to me and fellow customers is too bad... Ppl are waiting in line for several minutes and they r playing... Chitchatting within them and no senior guy to complain or control them. No token system indeed. Pls take some measures to control the grievances of customers.

Airtel automatically activates super store on my phone and deducted rs 113 of my account from 04 th may 2018 without my consent. On 04 it activated and deducted rs 2 from my account after that again on 06th done same. Again on 08th of may it deducted rs 5 from my account for renewal other it,. The same process is done on 10th of may after that on 12th of may yesterday they deducted rs 99 for the said program. All of this happened without any knowledge of my self.

So kindly return my amount and deactivate the said program or i will go for t. R. A. I

This to bring to your kind notice that the customer service in airtel is pathetic they are trying to manipulate their customers by way of advertising, in reality they are least bothered about their customers.

First of all i called to the customer care and asked that i am using 7 connections of airtel in my home and in all the sim cards their is an offer of 99rs. Which is not available on one number ([protected]). I called the customer care to activate this offer in the above mentioned number, they strictly rejected my request that it is not in their hands.. I am getting an offer of 398 for 70days and they r giving unlimited calls and 1gb data per day, but what i am trying to explain them is it is basic phone which i am using so there is no use in providing data in this number... Its not a matter of recharging if it is useful then definitely no one will escalate but when a consumer feels cheated then and have no option left with then what should he do..

Pls do call me if in case of any query...

Hi,

Airtel fraud with customers by activating 3rd party services. While i am browsing internet suddenely a page open in which highlighted. When i clicked on link a msg on my smartphone comes from hotchillies that rs-99 had been deducted from your account for activate hot chillies on your smart phone. To deactivate the service please msg stop to 155223. I send sms immediately by typing stop but today again i recieved msg that my service is renewed. Balance deduct again!! It's mental harassment to customers. Today i call to customer care but they refuse to refund money and laughing on call. Very disappointed with these type of fraud. After call i recived the below msg. Please take a strict action againt airtel to activate useless third party services without any confirmation notice.

I am not receiving sms, otp etc on my mobile (Prepaid). I had lost my handset with the sim. I got another sim card today and it was activated. The sim works well but the sim/phone does not receive any sms. The sim is not sending sms also regularly, but sometimes fails and at others succeeds. I have tried to contact and get help on 121 and 198 but of no avail. Kindly take care. Ifat

I took an airtel prepaid connection with mobile number [protected] in oct 2017 in up east circle.
It was working fine as long as i was in up east circle.in feb 2018 i moved to pune (Maharashtra circle) keeping my number in roaming. Here, my incoming calls, data, sms all are fine except outgoing calls.
When i call any number, the other phone rings and as soon as the other person picks the call, the call gets disconnected. So i cannot make any outgoing call. Unknown of this issue, i recharged a voice pack in feb 2018 but all of it got wasted. Since then i have made various complaints to airtel via customer care and store but no solution has been given until now even after more than 3 months are passed.
Please fix the issue urgently.
