Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi,
I am user of airtel service for more than 8 years, even i started my first phone with having airtel sim. Today i got a call from [protected] at 11:11 am. Date[protected]. He was offering me some hello tune service, when i told him that i already been denied to taking that service earlier twice. That person become very rude to me as i owe him some money. He ordered me to have dnd service in my number. When i asked him that he must have some records that i already denied that service. He told me he does not have any record and again ordered me to have dnd service and cut the phone.
The attitude of that person was very wrong. It was like an insulting behaviour. I was a loyal customer to airtel, i think i should start finding some other options also.

Ported from vodafone to airtel

Vodafone services are deactivated but airtel services are still in pending mode.

But the airtel sim is not yet activated even after 24 hours now.

The customer care no [protected] is always give time but nothing is happening. Called them several time all that say is "you will have to wait they can not do anything from there end"

Kindly do the needful to activate the sim immediately.

I have recharged my airtel digital tv account for the past two months and have received my confirmation message as well. But the tv still shows error code 6 even after recharging for 2 times. Thus i had to call the customer service and the ladies who pick the calls speak utter unrelated stuffs like technical error etc. My question is how can my tv alone have a technical error for 60 days? I just switched to airtel very recently but the service is as bad as my old dth provider. I hope
This issue is resolved at least now.

I am such a very disappoint with airtel service, i am living in out of country but still i keep on my airtel number because of some personal contact and work. And airtel charged my talktime money without inform me, they activate my international roaming, glamourzone service & many more them self i didn't request for any service. That glamourzone service is re-activate every 7 days automatically. I am going to upset for this service.
It's my humble request to airtel or their team please return my deducted talktime money on my mobile number and please deactivate these service like international roaming, glamourzone service and all unusable for me.

I come to india from abroad every year to visit my family. This year i purchased over rs150 worth coupons from airtel and i have made only one phone call, and arranged to have two uber pickups. But airtel deducted all the money from my account. I have a balance of 1.67! Airtel contacted me and gave me a list of data usage etc, which does not make sense as no one could have spent all the data with one short in-city phone call or by arranging two uber pickups.
This is unprofessional and extortionist. I will never use airtel and neither will my family and friends. I am aware things in india are not above board, but this kind of theft is a new kind of a low.

I feel vindicated here as i see that i am not the only person to file a complaint about airtel's business policies and scams. If we all boycott airtel that should teach them a lesson and perhaps drive them out of business and make room for more ethical competition and new businesses.

Thanks.

I forgot mpin for my airtel bank account and it doesn't let me reset new one with aadhaar detail, it says your aadhaar detail doesn't match our records how can it be? I'm using my aadhaar card to fill details. The customer care number, all of them show invalid at the time the computer voice connects to an officer, i'm not able to talk to any airtel customer care officer. I'm getting frustrated and regret adding money in this account. Plz help

On 23 November 2017 I tried to recharge of 448 using my airtel app amount of 448 is deducted from my bank account but on airtel app it's show transaction failed due to decline by bank and still amount is not refund in my bank account. My mobile number:[protected]. and I recharged for this number +[protected]. My Name ompal Singh

Please refer case # 1204149, 1210121 and 1215387. Ref # 57380184, provided by [protected]@airtel.com, [protected]@airtel.com and [protected]@airtelbank.com... I had corresponded so many times with regards to subject matter through my email id - adusumalli. [protected]@gmail.com. As per goi and uidai instructions, mobile services, are supposed to link aadhhar with mobile sim only. Whereas, while linking my aadhaar with airtel mobile # [protected] at airtel outlet, i was not aware that, airtel payments bank limited, without my consent... It has come to my notice, that, aadhaar has been de-linked my sbi a/c automatically and lpg subsidy has been credited in airtel payments bank ltd. I therefore, request airtel company to look into my complaint seriously and close the issue at the earliest by deactivation of aadhaar from airtel payments bank and re-link with my previous bank... Thanks... With regards... From adusumalli ramakrishna.

On[protected] i got a duplicate sim for mobile no [protected] due to the loss of original sim at airtel office, mandaveli, chennai.

I paid rs 25/ as the cost of the sim.

I had given the adhaar xerox copy and fingerprint.

The staff gave the sim with due process and said that the will be activated within 4 hours.

But the sim was not activated even after 24 hours now.

The customer care no 198 is not responding.

Kindly do the needful to activate the sim ([protected]) immediately.

I am saroj having airtel prepaid connection ([protected]) replace to 4g sim for using 4g network. Now i am realize worlds worst 4g netwok is airtel. Also i had made a complain on this but no solution. I had never thought that "airtel" is giving this type of service. Regretfully saying that i am going for portable for another network for better service or network.

Thanks,

I booked broadband connection on 11 dec 2017 and payment made on 12 dec 2017. Even after 12 days i didn't get any connection and proper response from airtel. Called many times and they themselves don't have proper details and one will say it cancelled due to some technical issue and other say it is in process and connection will be given within 3 days. I filed request for refund and never going to airtel for any service. And migrating my number to other network as well.

Unfortunately airtel team doesn't have any coordination among them and no escalation matrix followed so far. I wasted my time and money and frustrated a lot

My father had got a new sim card yesterday (Dec 22nd) 2 pm and the agent had informed that the sim will be activated today. However, when i visited the airtel office (Indiranagar) today the agent in the office was very rude and i have never experience agents being rude to customers.'

If these things continue you will loose many customers. He has told me that the sim will be activated by eod. If it is not activated i have to visit the office again on monday which is ridiculous. To get the sim activated we have to wait for 4 days?? And he doesnt have courtesy to explain on why it is getting delayed?? Such a nonsense i have seen ever.

I will port to a better option once it is activated. Thank you so much. Training has to be given to that agent on priority basis and teach him how to behave with people.

Hi have sent many mail for my complaint to airtel support team.

but no one replied or get back to me on [protected]

kindly check you mail ans respond to me ASAP or call

Thanks

I have been using my mobile number [[protected]] for past 7-8 years. I recently was out of station and changed my location. When i inserted the sim it showed inactive. I came to know my number is allocated to some one else. My point is how come in this much short duration you can allocate my number to some one else? This number is update in all my bank accounts, demat, pan detail, aadhaar account. My privacy is at risk as all the sms (Verification code, otp, urn) still goes to this number and i am fully prone to fraud as well because of exposed information. How irresponsibly my 7-8 years old number was allocated to some one else. After this long service i did not expect airtel to act so irresponsible which put me at very high risk. Kindly take this matter urgently and give me chance to re activate my number.

Thanks,

As per the supreme court ordered, i linked my airtel number with aadhar, at the time of linkage airtel payment bank account has been opened without my knowledge and my aadhar number has been linked with it. That linked creates a problem to link my sbi account with aadhar.
Therefore, i request to close my airtel payment bank account which opened without my permission, otherwise i am facing a problem in my real bank account.

I have called multiple times in airtel from last 5 days.

And none of your worst customer care executives are able to resolve my query.

I just called to cancel my second subscription and change my plan on my 3rd connection.

But i dont know what ur executive has done and now my all connections are not working.

Also i have raised multiple complains to change the plan but none of your executives are able to change it.
I have asked for supervisor and they informed no supervisor is available will arrange a callback after 2 hours but no callback received. This instance has been done twice. Spoke with rajesh, and many executives and one of them even disconnected the call in b/w.

I simply need to change my plan as it was previously and this simple issue airtel is not able to resolve.

My connection no[protected]

Hi advocates team & airtel team,
Dear sir/madam,
Sub: non closed complaint number 78696638 for airtel number of [protected].
Ref : i took the airtel sim on 24th july 2017, starting onwards signals are week. I complained several times (6 times) to the customer care of airtel (If you search & hear the conversation with airtel customer voice call you will come to know that complaint), one example of complaint number is 78696638, even though i paid money for non used service. But after 3 month onwards i fed up with airtel service & shifted to the jio. When i raise the complaint no one reacted about airtel brand & service provide to the customer, but now you people are keeping sending invoice copy for non use service. It’s seriously not accepting thing.
My question to the airtel manger: will you pay the money to the customer for free.
@ advocate: we will give very important note to the advocate team, please ask the airtel people don’t use name of advocate for small & wrong things of non use service.
I hope you got the clarity why i’m not using your service.
Thanks,
[protected] (Customer)

I have taken my first airtel connection after one of my friends recommended air tel. I have been using this no exclusively for internet and i have not made a single call from it. The internet works intermittently and since it was affecting my work i was forced to take an alternative connection with reliance.
The defect in the internet connection was brought to the notice of the dealer once he gave excuses and shrugged off the issue. Please refer to the usage on my sim i am hardly able to use it. I understand that there could be technical problems however what is very bad it the attitude and conduct of the dealer who gave the sim card. He behaves like a # and is least bothered about giving an ear to the customers grievance of the customers. The way he speaks to the customers it looks like airtel is doing charity to the customers. This will be my first and last association with airtel. Please appoint human beings to deal with your customers. Good riddance to bad rubbish
