Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hello,

I am using airtel number and i am facing so many issues. Everyone telling me why your number is always telling us that you are not reachable. It's my primary number with my bank account and i am not getting any otp for online transaction.

Airtel is very worst service i have ever used. How can they claim that they are having india's fatstes network.

Still no network in nashik, maharashtra. From 2 pm today.

Very worst service.

Also, i am trying to port from airtel to another provider but airtel refuses my request.

Very worst service.

I need compensation from airtel as i need to do some important transaction but it fails due to otp is not received in time.

Hi,

I have recently migrated from postpaid to prepaid in airtel. I have been struggling for last 3 days, but outgoing is not working. The customer care suggested to change the sim, but that also did not work. Is it possible to raise an escalation and get a huge amount for the mental harrassment done by airtel? What is the proper way to log a case in consumer forum?

Background - i have a prepaid connection number. I noticed that few days ago there was no signal connectivity on my airtel sim. I tried changing the sim on different phones but to no effect. Consequently, i visited the airtel office today to understand the issue. I was told that the number has been disconnected since dec 1 due to no activity on the connection. I asked if this can be activated now, i was told that it cannot be activated now.

I understand there was no outgoing call made on this number, but i had been receiving usual sms's / incoming calls. Thus the number was "active".

Concern - i would like to understand why was the number disconnected with no communication to this effect. I have tried raising with the nodal & appellate authorities of airtel as well, unfortunately, have not received satisfactory response so far. They have a very generic response, it looked like i am speaking with some customer care executive and not appellate officers.

Support required -
1. Activation of the number asap.
2. There were around ₹200 amount balance in my account. I would want the same reinstated.

P. S: mobile number / email id's have not been mentioned here. Please let me know the email id / mobile number at which i can contact, i will be happy to provide all the information.

Hi,

I am getting calls from airtel everyday though my network is not airtel. This is second time i am writing to you. Are you quickly going to take action or should i consult consumer court or my lawyer. These calls are from cell no. S. And i am getting disturbed and irritated. My work is also getting disturbed due to these calls. Please do the needful asap.

Thanks,
Priya

This is to bring to your notice that i applied for airtel broadband on 27th of december. All the necessary documents were submitted and i have already paid 3 months advance rental online that day itself.

And till now i have been getting the same response everyday that the connection will take 4-5 days. Since no account number or fixed line no was generated i am unable to escalate via customer care.

Please provide resolution asap else better to refund my money back.

Dear sir/ma'am

I wish to register a official complaint against a dsa who was handling my porting request from vodafone.

I had the worst first experience with airtel. This dsa took all my documents and had my no ported to airtel. The problem is that i have not been provided with the airtel sim and my no has already been transferred from vodafone.

The dsa has blocked my no, is not taking my calls or reverting my messages. This dsa is a fraud

Contact no of dsa : [protected]

Pr[protected] & pr[protected] these are my pervious complaint number (To airtel) regarding my porting request (Reliance to airtel) and this is my third complaint.
My these two complaints are not resloved. I got a call from [protected] regarding my request. They told me that your problem should be resolved within two working days but nothing happend. You (Airtel) guys make me frusted. Plz resolved my problem by tomorrow.

I am extremely happy in saying that i experience a very worst service from the great airtel india. Thank you for proving that the advertisements are just eyewash, picturising that all the hill tops and deserts and forests are getting strong network!!! Ultimately the city coverage areas will get bad and worst network!! Yeas airtel do cares only hill top, deserts, forests but not the city!!! (Sorry sasha chettri not blaming you) the best customer support i ever experienced!!! Thank you for making me to wait for about half an hour to get connected to one of your greatest customer support representative (Poor people they will be blamed for the mistakes the company does) and get worst answers for my questions. Offers offers offers!!! You give all offers but ultimately you kill the signals and frustrate us in experiencing the offers!!! When i was using a 3g phone i was having a good (Not best) signal and all the offers were valid for 4g handsets and i changed my handset to 4g and sim also to 4g, then wow great the signal was so gooooood then i always go out of my house to attend any call or to google anything at any time even mid night.!!! Wow wow wow!!! Always my complaints are accepted with great apology!! And thrown away in recyclebin!!! Thank you for the best support airtel india!!! Thank you for making me to think to port my number any other network!!! Bye bye!!!

I did online recharge for my no. [protected] for rs. 120/- talk time of rs.98.90/-, after accepting all the information of debit card of my canara bank, & the transaction process of otp also, the transaction failed with error message, but the amount was deducted from account, the amount is not reflected in to my airtel account, put back the amount into my bank a/c or else to airtel ac. So pl. Check do the needful, at the earliest.
Sudhir...

I have complaint about poor network at my home. Of my number. Sinse last 20 days but nothing positive happened two times i got call from airtel but newtwork isssue is as it is mob no [protected]: provided by my company.. I also had a personal number of airtel which i am using since last 15 years which i conveted into idea due to poor netword.. I have 4g dongal provided by my company. But zero speed i am getting at my home. My dongal card no. Is[protected].

Airtel is deducting balance on toll free number[protected]Bluedart) at ₹2 per min.

I had an recharge with 399rs and the plan was active (70 days unlimited call, 1gb/day and 100 sms per day) but when contacted customer care about balance deduction, these illiterate people are telling :

"this is a special number and is chargeable."

What's the use o[censored]nlimited plan then... And above all its a toll free number of bluedart customer support. I have called on this number from jio also but they did not deducted any balance.

Moreover, airtel is also charging ₹1.5 per sms and when asked customer support they replied that sms benefits were not available when i made the recharge. What the hell... There is no recharge with unlimited usage and no sms benefits. Stupid peoples are sitting at customer support, they are rude, arrogant and completely useless.

I have created my new airtel money accounts this year and totally added 52rupees in my wallets of airtel accounts. And when i wanted to reedem it but it got blocked. I don't know how to reedem it it is now blocked it sudden need money how can i reedem please help me. So that i could work independently using this account using its debit cards. It says that no debit transaction is allowed for this account.

I bought a 4g wifi dongle with postpaid sim in airtel showroom t. Nagar during the month of august. I received a call on 24th nov, 2017 from balasundhari[protected] stating they are calling from airtel. They told me airtel is offering prepaid connection for postpaid dongle users also have good offers. They told they can come to my place and activate the prepaid connection and for first time recharge you have to pay rs.800 and that data pack will be valid for 3 months.
I said okay and they came to my working place and gave me new prepaid sim instead of changing the postpaid to prepaid. They activated the sim in dongle and i was able to use wifi with that sim and i paid rs.800 through debit card (I saw the vendor name is alai infocom). Also they told they will deactivate my postpaid sim.
But after few days the internet connection is very poor. Also my postpaid sim is not deactivated. I called customer care and requested to deactivate my postpaid sim also got to know no data pack is activated in my new prepaid sim. I got this info on 28th december.
I called to that number[protected] who sold me the prepaid sim. She told me, may be by mistake the pack didn’t get activated. She told me we cant give you the first time offer for that sim as its more than month.
So she told she can only activate this offer in new sim. I asked to refund my money. She told don't worry we will activate the offer in new sim.
Again she gave me new sim[protected] – balasundhari as per truecaller) and activated. This time i checked in my airtel app whether any pack activated. I could see rs.448 pack got activated. I checked in airtel website for any pack with rs.800 for first time users, i couldn’t find any. I called her again but she didn't picked up. Also today morning when i checked in my airtel app, no pack is active for my sim. How did this happen? I am calling her again and again from different number but no answer.
All were cheating?
How could the airtel provide my details to some third party that too there were many complaints. You can contact me through my email.

Reference to above subject i have visited your airtel store - koppikar road on 28.12.2017 at 10.30 am there i have met miss rashmi and requested for change of post paid to prepaid.

As per requested i have submitted all the required documents and cleared all the outstanding - 690.00.

Miss rashmi have informed to replace the sim card when current (Post paid sim) network goes away.

As per her information network got disconnected on 28.12.2017 at 7.00 pm and i tried to insert new sim card but there was no network.

Next day on 29.12.2017 there was no network and i have visited the store at 10.30 am and met again miss rashmi and updated about the issue but there was no proper response from her and said you have to wait another 48 hours to resolve the.

They have disconnected my post paid network and pre paid network is also not coming. I have 1 point contact for this number only.

Below are the conversion till 29th dec 2017.

As informed by miss mamta k - store incharge about resolving my concern latest by end of the day (29.12.2017) but till now problem is not rectified yet.

Yesterday whole day i have spent time at airtel store and there is no solution.

I got irritate from staff - mr. Ubaib, miss mamta k & rashmi. I have requested lot but no one was listening store incharge even dont have courticy to meet me.

I have spent 2 days without phone and incurred losses in my busssiness close to about 20000.00 rupees.

I need to have compensation with solution

And please describe the procedure in good manner to change mpin but it's not happening. This has already provided me so much inconvenience

On dec 27 i got a message from airtel support regarding sim change request as follows:
"this is in reference to your request for sim card change for your airtel mobile [protected]. We have registered your request vide order no.[protected]. The same will be processed shortly. Please mention this order no. For any future reference in this regard. We wish to further update you that the above request for change from sim no.[protected]u to sim no.[protected]u will be processed within 4hrs

But till now my sim has not activated. With lot of patience i called around 6-7 times about this. But there they can't able to trace the issue also. Then i have approached airtel office near me and explained them. They also can not able to resolve the issue also. Then i mailed to [protected]@in. Airtel.com. Then also i didn't get even a reply from them.

I am truly frustrated with the service and lost my valuable time and got a mental tension regarding this. This is the worst service i have faced from airtel. But the advertisement say" india's best network". Best service providers are providing the worst support.

I want to lodge a complaint against airtel on wasting my valuable time despite mental tention. I will definitely no longer use the service.

Recently i have ported my no. From vodafone to airtel. Yesterday (29dec2017 12.00am) vodafone services disconnected. Then i tried with airtel sim, but it was shown as sim not activated. I have contact the airtel customer care, they replied as with in 24 hours it will activate. Now (30dec 2017) i have called they replied as by end of the day it will activate.
So i am unable to use my no. For last two days. This is very good lesson, unnecessary ported my no to airtel.

My name is arkadeep marik. I have 4g lte handset and activated 4g internet pack. But my handset signal shows maximum time h, h+ even e with 2 or 3 sticks. It rarely shows 4g signal with no sticks. I had contacted customer care theysaid me to check my mobile settings, clean the sim card and many other things. None of that helped me. I also tested the sim card on other devices which shows the same signal problem. I checked in open network that my locality have have good internet signal with 4g even there is a tower 1.5 km away from my locality. I had no other option but complain about the signal strength. My address is iiser tirupati, karkambadi road, tirupati, andhra pradesh, 517507. I'm using lenovo a7000 handset. Please look after the signal strength. I switched from other isp believing that airtel is best in internet services, but such experience is unacceptable.
