Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Airtel has deducted charges so many times. Recently they deducted whatsmob service activate charge which i don't even know. Called up customer care they said user must have click on pop up and immedietly reversed the charges. Airtel is totally fraud company. They don't have ethics. If they don't know about the service how can they reverse the amount within seconds. It happened with me 4-5 times. They have looted us all these years. Now, jio has teaching them lesson.

Dear sir/mam

i am postpaid customer of airtel my no [protected] I am pay my bill of 900rs on 10/11/2017 through net banking from my husband account idfc bank account but airtel update only 295rs kindly resolve my problems

Videopindw service has been activated and money deducted without any prior info & acceptance from customer. It is auto renewed service too. Deducted rs 15 and activated for 3 days. Txn id n[protected]. It's loot. I want my money back & strict action against this fraudulent act of airtel mobile services.

Another such service has been activated today i. E. On 6th december 2017. Classyandglamvideos at rs 5 per day. Again it's auto renewed service. Has been activated without any approval. Really pathetic. Need to take strict action against bharati airtel limited for such loot.

Total loss of rs 20. But more than money it's against company monopoly and indecent activities or in short loot.

I want to say that from 10 nov i ok the 3g balance in my offer of airtel. From every sunday 49 rupees deducted from my main account balance. Without my permission pack was renewed and rupees deducted from my main account balance. I also checked that no service is active. At the last i want to say that stop this deduction of rupees from my main account i would be grateful to you.

Thank you

I have a post paid airtel number and i got my international roaming started on the same and got 10 days pack activated for australia. Its been three days i am in australia and i can only receive incoming calls. I am not able to make out going calls. I have called india airtel service from australia 10 times and all they have to say is that they can not access my account and it will take 24hrs. Now its been 3 days and after endless isd calls from me no solution has been done. I have gone through lot of inconvenience and have lost lot of money and business because of non working of my cell and because o[censored]nprofessional attitude of airtel employees. I have spoken to airtel customer service endless time and all of them are clue less. I will certainly file a case in consumer forum. I am highly disappointed in airtel services and i am a very unsatisfied customer and will change airtel once i am back to india.

My name is dr. Ranjeet singh mobile no. [protected]. I face problem in incoming and outgoing calls also i can't able to call customer care please help me. Many other airtel customers also face same problem in my area from few days. Your data speed also low. Please confirm that you are able to provide proper service at my area or we will port my number to another service provider company...

I purchased airtel on 11-sep with modem sim number [protected]. This modem gave average acceptable/browseable speed of atleast 100kbs atleast in the first month (1-2mbps was mentioned and shown during sales though). After the first month, airtel people kept reducing the speed month by month and now it is much worse having too much issue with the speed. And their reduced speed is in 2kbps range only and so modem became worthless now.

I am summarizing all kinds of issues below which i have been facing everyday and i have all screenshots proof for each issue (Samples attached) and it can be sent along with this case registration.

1. When clicking on a link like in a mail, it starts opening but then it stops without opening the clicked link. And so i had to keep clicking the link multiple times till modem starts getting signal again and then responds to that click
2. Page cannot be displayed issue
3. Page keeps loading and i need to refresh the page or switch on
4. With the crap speed of airtel, essential websites like google mail, yahoo mail, netbanking nothing opens. I have to try moving the modem here and there, switch it on/off etc till it does something but noting works. For 2 mins of work, will it be acceptable to waste hours and hours like this.
5. And top of it, it is highly intolerable when they neglect a response to this issue when i sent 2 mails to their customer support [protected]@airtel on 12nov & 27nov (This is why they take advance payment safely so that they can ignore responses silently).
6. Modem is at the same location but wondering how come the speed is reducing month by month.

It is a clear fraud and intentionally being done by airtel at the background inorder to restrict the data usage and so such saved data stolen from existing customers goes to new customers to make more business. With that understanding and headache over speed issues, there is no way they can or they will want to fix this.

As part of resolving this issue, i am needing my advance payment refunded after pro-rated calculation according to the way this modem worked and how their speed was (Airtel kept reducing the speed after first month onwards). They can take the full payment in sep (Good speed), half payment in oct, 1/3 in nov, dec. Not much to the surprise, nov & dec are the worst as they can see my reduced data usage for nov & dec because they made the speed in such a way browsing cannot be done and so data is saved for them. Good business fraud tactic.

Hi, my name is nizaika gautam, director of nart films pvt ltd company, which is delhi (Janakpuri, 11058) based production house. I have more than 8 employees but in our whole building no connection of airtel, total people is more than 50. I request u for booster in my company so my employees and also other people can connect to others. Thanks

Dear sir,
I am navdeep singh from punjab using the airtel mobile number [[protected]] since last 1 and half years and i want to port out my airtel no. But whenever i am sending sms (Port [[protected]] to 1900) for generating upc (Unique porting code) they are not providing me the upc code, after that many times i. E more than hundreds of times i called up customer care and did not get any response they are just receiving the call asking the name and saying pls stay on line i we r checking and keeping the call on hold for sometime and after that disconnecting the call.. I dont know what to do now?? Any one can tell me if there is any other way to get the upc code please???, being harrashed from this i think airtel is very worst in this market and a no.1 cheater deducting money from customers fraudly, i am not ready for any kind counciling. All that i need is just a upc code. If i dont get that in a day or 2. I am going to throw this sim and will go for a new sim and also i will tell whoever using airtel in my home (9 people) and all my friends circle to stop using airtel and throw it in dustbin by breaking airtel sims. And move to bsnl.

Hence, it 's my request to trai and india governments that please take some necessary actions against those operators who is not sending porting code to their customers after deducting money for the same sms and for that they must be charged a heavy penality so that they can be taught a lession, if any kind of informations required from me please do contact me on [[protected]].

Sir,

I have a plan of 49 rs per month with 2 gb data per month and 180 minutes in total.
Last month i did not use the total quantity of data and talktime still airtel has charged me extra amount of rupees.

I called them but they told that there are other usage. Means i do not under stand i have not used it for any other purpose still they charged me with extra money.

Airtel wants me to pay a bill of 696.54 rs. Airtel has incurred charges of 576.3 under other usages. But i don't what are the other usage neither they are telling me as i have not used for anyother purpose.
Usage over package is "zero: means i have not used extra data nor extra talktime than why they have charged me more and that too 576.3 rs.

Waiting for my issue to be addressed and solved.

Sir we are using your broadband at my home but the broadband is not working since last week i already complaint two times but there is no action. And broadband problem is face many times so i request to solve it as soon as possible. So kindly so the needful.

I have taken cug plan @ rs 499 + tax unlimited calling local n std calling per month with 10 gb data free per month for next six month, but airtel sending me excess bill amount of rs. Bill of rs 836 it is suppose to be rs. 588 inclusive of all taxes.
Even after 3rd time calling to customer care it is not rectified yet.

This is completely harassment...

I was using airtel data card till october and requested for cancellation of connection in airtel store near srinivasa nagaga branch, bengaluru, which they refuse to take it and asked me to place via customer care. I had requested for cancellation on 18th oct but as of today till 05/12/17 they keep on generating the bills and every time i called customer care service they keep on promising that the bill will be waived off, but nothing is happening. I had called them more than 8 times to resolve the issue every time they keep on saying issue will be solved soon but no solution. They are sending the recovery agents to my house for forcefully collect the money, even though i explained them the exact issue to them they are not caring about it and they always says they are not bothered about all these they are meant to collect the money. I request the concern person to please resolve the issue for me.

Airtel is not providing the services as per description of the plan.
I was going to recharge of rs. 509 and the recharge description is
"unlimited all local, std and roaming outgoing calls, 100 sms/day and 1gb 3g/4g data/day. For non commercial use only."
(Reference: https://www.airtel.in/recharge-online)

And no t&c is mentioned there.

But their executives on airtel store are saying there are so many capping in this recharge like
1. User will get internet like 500mb in day + 500mb in night
2. User will get only 200 mins daily for calling (Not unlimited)

I am not able to understand why airtel is not mentioning what they are actually providing.
It looks like openly cheating with the customer.

I live in a gated community and our family uses 7 airtel connections and most o[censored]s in our community use airtel as well. But for the past 2 months, the service has been terrible and i've been having a loss in my business which is mostly network oriented. It's been 2 months since i last used my internet while at home as there is no service at all. To pick up a call or make one, i have to rush down the roads to make one. There has been neglectable service problems earlier but now everyone is vexed. I finally got through to the customer support (On[protected] from the number [protected] and they filed a complaint (Ref. No c2gin[protected]) and then on the same day sent a message saying that the "temporary issue" has been solved while it hasn't been. I am typing this on the behalf of all the vexed airtel users in our community.

Date of incident -12/5/2017
Transaction id[protected]
I reached the wrong number today on the airtel website itself and i kindly request you to refund it.
I have miss entered the 2nd last digit of my number.
Amount recharged -199
Method of payment - debit card
I kindly request u to reverse the amount of rs 199 for the recharge used in the above transaction

One of the worst networks ever. We have raised a complaint many a times they have never responded. Now that my whole family is in airtel, no one o[censored]s are able to receive calls. Tried which ever way possible with my mobile, everything is just waste of time.
