Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Dear sir,

I have successfully ported my airtel postpaid number to another service provider after clearing all my dues. But i get an ebill amount of 129.45 and they force me to pay, so i paid that, still they forced me to pay another pending amount of 58, i paid that also. But surprisingly i got a sms today that due amount is 187 rupee and should be paid immediately. This is just a harassment done by airtel. Its really very...

Dear Sir, Im Pushpendra Badgoti from Jaipur . I bought Samsung s8 mobile phone from mobile zone store malviya nagar . That time airtel postpaid insurance was done for my samsung s8 . In that i can change my screen in 1 year or if broken airtel will change in free of cost but airtel company didn’t they said they will not change screen . I take airtel postpaid sim in this condition and my airtel number is [protected] . Kindly change my screen. Thank you. Pushpendra Badgoti [protected]

I am subscriber of airtel dth services. my account no. is [protected]. few days ago airtel dth team activated SBH channel to my dth account without my consent and they are charging additional rs.39.00 per month. it is totally unfair business practice. kindly remove this channel immediately.

I recharged with rs. 399 on 8th nov and is valid for 70 days and my plan is still active but balance is deducted from my main account balance for sms but 100 sms per day are free as per plan. And also i requested for closure of my airtel payment bank account opened without my awareness, everytime they deduct balance for sms reply but do not close the account.

Non-Disconnection of Services & Fraudulent Billing - Airtel Broadband

This is with reference to my voluntary disconnection request of my Airtel Broadband & Landline account no: [protected] in Nov-17. The reason for disconnection was that my company had tied up with another leading broadband provider for internet connection at subsidized rates and I wanted to opt for the same.

After raising the request I got calls from the Airtel retention team and since I was keen on keeping my landline number which I had shared with all my contacts, I agreed to continue for a nominal plan of Rs 206 (including taxes) which consisted of 25 GB + 20 GB free, unlimited calls at 8 Mbps. I was told that this plan would get activated within 24 hours and I need not follow up again. Post 24 hours, I again followed up with Airtel on their 121 number since I received no update only to be told that no such plan exists and that I would have to opt for plans which are around Rs 400/-. I was again hounded by a gentleman named Mr. Srinivas ([protected]) who claimed to be working for Airtel retention team to stay on at these prices. At that point, I had a credit balance of Rs 1768/- with Airtel since I had made a double payment (ECS + manual payment) on my previous bill to facilitate quick closure.

Since no suitable plans were available I raised a disconnection request with the nodal team and was given the reference no 89887176 on 13th Nov'17.

I had disconnected the connection on 11th Nov'17 and did not use even a single byte and neither made any telephone calls since then. I was again shocked to get a bill of Rs 161.92 in Dec'17 despite having the earlier mentioned credit balance of Rs 1768/-. I again wrote to the nodal team and was given unconvincing answers towards the usage charges and was surprised to know that no action had taken place towards disconnection. I again asked them to raise a disconnection request and was given the reference no 91323412 on 14th Dec'17.

Today, on 15th Jan'17, I am again surprised to get a bill of Rs -361.28 in which Rs 228 was again charged as monthly charges. I am attaching a copy of all documents below. I am truly at a loss and do not how to get this connection disconnected. They are just trying to milk money every month in this manner. I request the support of this consumer forum in this matter. Airtel has already unscrupulously deducted Rs 1407/- from my balance of Rs 1768/- and I am now left with only Rs -361.28. I do not want to lose that amount and end up paying further next time around.

Ravi John

Dear Sir

I would like to inform you that you Airtel store runner by the company with kiosk id 1787501 situated at vellore Tamil nadu.opposite Cmc could not provide me a replacement sim when I approached them instead they took the pending bill amount from me and told me find the sim from other shops nearby.

I condemn such behaviour of your employee being an old customer of Airtel with my no [protected] and find that the store employees are very uncomfortable operative.

So please look into the matter on a serious note.

Otherwise shall write the matter to consumer forum.

When am outstation and my sim is not working it really becomes pathetic to be associated with such a telecom operator.

Sorry!
Recharge was unsuccessful.

I contacted customer care to 121 but they asked to call this number [protected] . Unable to connect to customer care through IVR . it just says oops when prompt type 9 to connect and call gets disconnected.

I also emailed to this id [protected]@in.airtel.com .

But till now i did not get any intimation.

Could you please initiate the process to refund the amount to my bank account

Hello, I’ve been using this prepaid Airtel number [protected] for almost last 4 months. I’m facing a sudden issue since last one month after I changed my plan from 28 days to 70 days plan. The issue is that I’m unable to call a toll free number [protected]. It was all well before I changed my plan. After enquiring in Airtel showroom, they said I will be able to call if I add a little balance as mine is an Unlimited plan. So, if I recharge for 20 rupees etc., it is working just once but it doesn’t allow me to call the number again. Interestingly my colleagues having same plan are able to call with no issues. Please provide clarification and next steps for resolution

Does Airtel charge for Toll Free numbers? Also would Unlimited plans not allow to call Toll Free numbers? I also have frequent Call drop issues
I followed up multiple times on [protected]@in.airtel.com from krishnarao.[protected]@gmail.com but very poor and worst service.
My number [protected]

Applied new airtel sim but could nt verify it. Evrytm i dial 59059 it gets disconnected itself. The sim was applied in assam but presently am in kolkata.. So, is that the problem for not able to verify it. Its been about 20 days am still not able to dial the no. And verify it. Even the customer executives say that the sim is active but even then am not able to dial the no.

My old postpaid mobile no. [protected] has been alloted to network component pvt. Ltd. Pune. As per my knowledge the services on this no. Barred due to non-payment of outstanding bills after the follow up of airtel recovery team we have lodge a complent in airtel regarding a issue. When the issue of the bills are in conversational phase. Airtel alot my number to other person without informing me. It is not the professional act.
As i communicate with mr. Gokhale (Network component pvt. Ltd.) he is ready to return back the mobile number with some conditions. He told me that he want a authorised letter from airtel that the number has been alloted to the firm by mistakely.

When company exicutives call me n asking me about the reason of my porting request then i told him that i port my mob no buz 2 others company offers me same facility at less rental plans, then the airtel exicutives offer me 499 monthly plans n they asure me that my 242 gb unused data will b carryforward in 499 plans but they dont do this, airtel n there exicutives cheats there customers

Airtel has fraudulently opened my savings account while linking to my aadhar with mobile and has linked all my government subsidies with this account. Account same as mobile [protected].
Immediately close this account and refund all subsidies.
Complaint to rbi also got registered.

Hi airtel team,

I have converted my airtel post-paid to prepaid and it is successfully activated today.
I am trying to recharge now and each time i am getting error message as : “transaction failed”
I have tried recharge using my airtel app & paytm as well.

Since i need to make outgoing calls, it is very urgent to recharge my prepaid sim.
Also not able to recharge data pack as well.

Will look forward to hear from you soon.
Thank you!

I hav ported from airtel in d month of nov 2017 and recently received a msg from airtel stating that a bill of 534 rs was pending.. It was also sent to my current subscriber idea.. And they threatened to barr my no unless i make d payment.. This amount was settled by me on 31 dec 2017.. Yet again i hav received another msg from airtel saying that a bill of rs 233 has been generated.. This is sheer loot of customer's money..

Hi, i'v been using the airtel postpaid since 2017,
I am on a plan of 499 per month but my bill of the 3 months was over rs.1400.
So i went there and asked him why my bill is above my plan, over which he replied i cannot help you with this and suggested me to port my airtel no. To bsnl/jio and explained me the procedure of "how to port airtel to bsnl/jio"
And at last he thanked me too, i have no idea why.

Now, my question is, airtel is one of the most trusted and used network in india, is this the way airtel took care of his customers? If yes, then i am happy to port my airtel to any other network.

This account [protected] has been opened with using my details illegally by airtel. I have made several written complaints to them, however no response has been received. I want to take legal action against the company. This wrong account opening is impacting my cybil score badly.

Kindly help.

Recently i have renwed my 3g sim to 4g lte (In december 2017). I have been receiving a lot of wrong calls from few days now (11 jan'18 ~ 3 wrong numbers | 12 jan'18~2 wrong numbers | 13 jan'18 ~ 5 wrong numbers).5 different wrong calls a day cannot be a coincidence. Even, i get watsapp (Logged in with the same number) messages from different people i don't know. I guess my number is getting mislinked with other's numbers.

I changed my sim belong to no-[protected] before some months from airtel model town office jalandhar city and the sim was given to me 4g which was hang to my mobile handset. I complained and changed several times but the problem was not solved. Some time i used this sim in another mobile for a short period. When i used it last time, the balance was approx - rs-100. Yesterday i used it again and saw that the balance was only rs-2 and some paise. I recharged it by rs-26 two times and the talk time given to me rs-52. I tried to call my another no after recharge it and my call was cut after few seconds. I saw that the balance is zero.
In this way, airtel done fraud with me.
Now i request to you take action against airtel punjab circle and help to me to receive the amount of talk time again
