Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I applied for a new broadband connection. An executive came to collect documents. After filling application form and submitting proofs along with a cheque for Rs. 1000, cheque number 369046 dated 10 Aug 2015 of State Bank of Mysore. I got a message from airtel 'documents received'. But the installation engineer called on 13th Aug 2015 and after visiting the site/my location, he said my connection is not feasible, since they dont have network in that are. And after that I did not receive any update from airtel, nor been able to get any updates from customer care on this. Please share what is the process of refund? And why wasn't the feasibility checked before collecting documents and money? My details - Vijay Raghavan Mobile no[protected], Bangalore

On August 05th, 2015, I applied for a new broadband connection online. I was assisted by one of your online support executive(Ms. Soumya). I paid the installation amount (Rs. 1000) online using Credit Card after confirming the feasibility of new connection in my area.. Application Number : ONNOIDA01195096 Transaction Reference no. :[protected] I was told that the installation will be done within 48 hours. Yet even after 48 hours I didn't get any message/email/call from anybody. I contacted customer care on August 7th, and I was assured that the installation will be done with in next 3 working days. Yet I received no response. I contacted customer care again on August 14th(reference# BR[protected] and was told that I'll receive a call within next 4 working hours. I received the call on August 16th and the representative was not able to verify things due to some technical issue and assured that I'll receive the call in next 4 working hours again. But again no response. I contacted the nodal team on August 17th and explained my problem again. At that time I was told that my area is not feasible for broadband connection. I asked to initiate the refund process. Again to my surprise, I was told that it will take 21 working days and I'll receive the check for the amount. I asked as I paid online, the refund should be directly credited to my Credit Card. And I need all this in an email. And the guy(Mr. Anand) refused to do so so I asked him to transfer my call to his senior and again same response from senior executive(Mr. Gaurav) also. So here are my concerns: Why do I was asked to pay if my area was not feasible for new connection? If it was feasible, why I haven't received a new connection? Why did it took 15 days to tell me that my area is not feasible? Why there was no communication from concerned department? Why my email id was asked while submitting application if it can't be used for communication purpose? Why would it take 21 days for the refund process to complete? Why the world's third largest telecom company make refunds in form of check while the customer paid online?

I have an Airtel sim mobile no. [protected]. From last 1 month it has been deactivated.When I called customer care, they asked to submit the proof again. When I completed the procedure, even then the number was not activated. Again I called up the costumer care and from last 3 days they are saying that number will be activated within 4 hrs., I have talked to various costumer representatives Mr. Bhagwan, Mr. Vinod etc. From August 19 I have been calling the costumer care day & night. Now the position is that incoming calls are activated but still OUTGOING of my number is not activated. Very disappointed with AIRTEL...

Dear Sir, I am doctor from AIIMS, New Delhi. I was an Airtel customer (postpaid-[protected]) for last 3 years.I was staying in 11/158 Malviya Nagar. on march 1st week 2015, we shifted to another house in Malviya Nagar at B137, Malviya Nagar. But in this new house there was almost no network in my airtel connection.For that I complained to the Airtel customer care team over telephone. They have accepted that there is some tower problem.They will repair it within two weeks. But neither corrected nor informed after 1 month when I called, they told we don't know when it will be rectified. So I forced to quit Airtel on 1st week of April 2015.I paid last month bill plus some extra to compensate the ongoing month bill. Now on and off almost after 3 months airtel customer care people are bothering me and my wife to pay some outstanding balance for the month of April. Point is very simple, if somebody is unable to use his phone for more than a month due to network problem and he is changing the network provider, then why should he pay for something which he has not sed at all. So I am not going to pay any thing ...which rather hampered my day to day activity (being a doctor from AIIMS...many patient calls me even if I am at home).

I would like to bring my experience regarding online recharge of my data plan, initiated today 20th Aug 2015. Just a while ago, I was in process of attempting the recharge of my data plan using airtel online website. After completing data entry and various selections in airtel website and internet banking website, an error message got displayed by the payment gateway. Subsequently, I tried to recharge on 3 different occasions using internet banking and once using my debit card. All the 4 attempts displayed the same error highlighting the transaction failure. Surprisingly, my bank account got debited on all the 4 occasions even when the error highlights that the “payment has been declined by the bank”. I am bit surprised as to 1. how the bank account can get debited when the transaction didn’t go through and 2. the credentials of your payment gateway (citruspay) Further it is a bit too harsh for letting the customer wait for 7 days towards refund for a recharge which didn’t take place. I had a similar experience last month during an earlier recharge process. I wanted to bring this to your kind attention for immediate resolution. Suggest that this grievance be handled on a priority basis, now that RBI has approved Bharti Airtel as a payment bank. Regards

I have taken the 4G airtel connection for my office use at home seeing the advertisements in the television. Connection was provided to me immediately however the required speed quoted in my plan is 20 Mbps however the internet connection speed is 2 Mbps.

Hi Airtel Team, I had a data balance of around 750MB for my airtel no [protected] till 19th August. 19th August was the last date of the data pack validity. I tried online recharge for the data pack on 18th August and it failed. Today I tried the recharge ( after validity period) then the recharge was successful. But I did not get the balance 750mb carried forward. I have tried to recharge before due date and it failed. So I request Airtel to please carry forward the data of around 750MB (which is huge) .

I would like to inform you that I had recharged my mobile no-[protected] with Rs.153/-as a data pack with 500 MB valid for 21 days on 15/08/2015, but an additional 500 MB will be added later and also the validity will extend from 21 days to 28 days.But on 18/08/2015, I found that my main balance has gone down to Rs 4/- from 180/-.I called up the customer care executive but unfortunately I have not received any positive reply from their end. My question here arises that I have not received another 500MB.How is it possible to believe that I have used 1 GB with in two and a half working days. So my earnest request is to please provide my extra 500MB or my initial main A/C balance, from your end. Hoping for a positive response . Regards, Payal Sanyal(Naskar)

This is an ongoing issue with my Airtel prepaid mobile. I have been an Airtel customer for the last 7 years. The only reason I believed the company is because of the their service. since last three years, I am in Kolkata and Kharagpur which falls under west bengal and kolkata Mobile Circle, I have been literally harassed by the company. I have been using Airtel's 3G data service which has gone pathetically worst and more importantly, Airtel now doesnt even bother to log a complain and put any effort to resolve the issue. I thought of doing mobile number porting however it is so easy in india to literally loot the customer and not accountable for the fault by the such organizations. This is my last effort which probably might ring some bell to their ears. After this, before I leave Airtel, I will certainly take this issue to the court.

Airtel Digital TV subscriber number: [protected] As per Airtel Digital TV web site http://www.airtel.in/hdchannels/, Hollywood HD package contains 5 channels including Star Movies Select HD channel, which is disconnected from my service from 17th August. When I complained to customer service, I am asked to pay an additional Rs.51 every month whereas I have already subscribed to Hollywood HD that includes Star Movies Select HD channel. Please enable the channel immediately without additional charges as I am subscribed to Hollywood HD package already.
