Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Sir,

Im a resident of Bagh Amberpet(R.K. Nagar), Hyderabad...myself and 4 of my family members are using Airtel service and we are not receiving any calls ,sms due to signal problem inside my home....we phoned to customer care several times but there is no proper guidance from them...so plz suggest us a solution on this....

REF: for reasons only they understand

I had charged my Airtel mobile [protected] on 22nd feb 2012 for 80.00 Rs and since 1st march random deductions like 1Re and in excess were noted. on the 2nd of march, I had a balance of 59 Rs and it was suddenly wiped off and got a shock when I checked my balance. I immediately went to the Airtel relationship centre and was given a no. to talk to customer service. I called them up and was told that the deduction was for browsing the internet, but I have been browsing for 2 years on wi-fi and never had this problem. When I mentioned this fact they said it was unique for some handsets like blackberry (I used blackberry 8520 which is 2G) and iphones where for some applications they start using 3g services. I corrected them saying my phone was 2g and not 3g compatible, they said is was a slip of tongue and they meant that I was using 2g services.
The whole thing seems fishy and how could some applications use prepaid credit when I always use wi-fi at all times. Me explaining this fact seems to have no effect and they insist my phone somehow managed to use the prepaid credit and change the settings by itself to leave me with zero credit.
I'm absolutely disappointed with the explanations which they seem to make up as they go along and I doubt my future prepaid recharges would be safe either. I would greatly appreciate if the issue is brought to relevant persons and my money credited. If there is anything I can do myself, advice would be appreciated.

Dear Sir ,
This is in reference to a call made to the Blackberry Airtel Customer Care department(7070) from number [protected] at 02:02pm.THE ATTENDENT TOLD HIS NAME Mr.VIKAS.

But I am really very sorry to say the Attendant didn't know the sense of talking , If i am not understanding a thing, he is no one to shout on me and say that i am not knowing any thing in a very rude behaviour and sarcastic manner(bad insulting language) to show the customer down ,really it was bad on his part to misbehave in that way which is not at all acceptable and just hell he also turned some words out which is not resistable at all.
With only the respect of Airtel I did not reply him and disconnected the phone.

But for sure this matter has to be taken up seriously and some Punishment OR STRICT ACTION should be rendered or else i will just Port my number to some other network but i don't want to do that as i am a customer with airtel since last 12years.
or else i should move to the higher authorities if nothing is done to it.
If attendant like him stays in the company the company would have a very bad impression.

So not to increase the complaint and telling about that worst attendant i would like you to take a strict action so that it is never happens again .
Will wait for your precious action and the reply to it. Hope to have a serious action from your-side with full investigation to know the worst of it!

Thanks a Lott..

ajay rana.

Inspite of paying the entire annual rental in advance for airtel landline number [protected], the line has been disconnected since last 45 days which is creating a very bad image of airtel. The customer care team along with “Appellate”, “Esupport” and “Nodal” is purposely avoiding this issue and not replying.

No reply to mails, no action taken.

As per customer care executive, the permission for this connection is not there in the society. Our simple question is, how the rental charged in advance and connection given if not permission is there? How the connection stood active for 5 months without any trouble?

If Airtel is not in a condition to provide support, we have requested a refund of the balance rental paid for the period ever since the connection has become inactive.

We expect a call to the user Kalpesh Shah at [protected] with a proper solution. To mention, so far many junior officials have called to give new new ticket numbers, without any solution. We do not have much time and patience to entertain useless calls now.

PARTIAL mail communications are enclosed for reference.

Hi,

Request your immediate and serious intervention…… If this is your customer service all I can say is GOD save Airtel

It pains me to tell you that my fixed line and Broad band services are non functional since past one month now with no response from your side.

I have to bear the pain because despite repeated mails and complaints to your customer care in this regards, nobody from your esteem organization has taken the pain to resolve the issue.

What surprises me is the kind of responses I receive from your end. Some communicate that the issue is resolved as discussed, without any discussion or resolution. The other day a gentleman called me and tells me that there is some issue with society permission and as per Airtel policy I should talk to society and provide the requirements and details to Airtel for resolution.

Do you guys think that I am a big time . Did you ask me to provide permission and all this nonsense while I paid one year advance rental and you gave me this connection? As an end user, how am I suppose to get permissions for you for an old connection that was working since months. Please stop this nonsense as it does not befit a company like Airtel.

I am surprised by the comfort zone in which your staff has been hatching my complains. Somebody please show the responsibility and own this issue.

The trailing mail is only tip of the iceberg. Your account of your pathetic services is as attached herewith for you kind perusal.

This is the final mail from my end to your department. My next mail will be now be addressed your top management and the Consumer Forum.

Kalpesh Shah

Hi,

Is this some kind of a Joke?

I havn’t received any call from the undersigned and no engineer has visited me.

Also, the Broadband services as well as the fixed line services are non-functional since the past 15 days.

Please note that I have taken enough of nonsense from your highly irresponsible organization.

Its high time someone owns responsibility towards my grievances. Airtel as an organization should show some character and stops draining my advance rental without providing services.

If my issue isn’t resolved in next 72 hours, I will be compelled to go the CONSUMER FORUM or take appropriate measures to safeguard my money paid towards advance rental.

Best Regards,

Kalpesh Shah

Hi,

Thanks for replying so early…you took only 2 weeks and 2 days just to provide a new ticket and zero solution!!

May we know why you are assigning a new ticket no 11902884 again when the below ticket no 11090826 is not closed? Are your all departments including so called “Appellate”, “Esupport” and “Nodal” equally efficient as your customer care department?

Check all enclosed mails…all are replying to solve this “shortly” since last one month! Please update status to Kalpesh Shah at [protected].

And what is the timeline for shortly means? You are dragging this issue since 20th January 2012, ie more than a month!! Please try to improve your service…there are many operators in the market to provide good service and atleast a better customer care than yours.

Regards,

Papiya Dawn

Hi,



Kindly confirm how long defines your ¿Earliest¿ action.



No action taken and your customer care is just sending a mail stating issue is
solved!!

Please note, the executive has never spoken to the customer and no engineer
visited as well.



You must have recorded the Conversation (With Vikash Prakash of Airtel Customer
Service Team as claimed in the enclosed mail) and there must be a proof of your
claimed engineer¿s visit! Can you please show the same to us? Or you have made
this a common practice of writing nonsense mails?



Also kindly do not waste our time by involving your junior officers to call the
customer and take more time by issuing new ticket numbers.



Regards,



Papiya Dawn

Hi,



The below mail is for your kind attention and immediate action please. May we
know the SLA you are following for providing a solution to a particular
ticket? We have so far raised 4-5 tickets in last 10 days for a single problem,
and all of them are lying unresolved!!



Inspite of paying the entire rental in advance the line has been disconnected
since last 10 days which is creating a very bad image of airtel. Kindly note,
your customer care team is purposely avoiding this issue and not replying since
the full rental is being claimed by the customer. We expct a call to the user
Kalpesh Shah at [protected] with a proper solution.

I have Airtel Broadband installed at my home with Phone number - [protected]. My problem is that they have upgraded my broadband plan without any prior notice and which have caused me to pay extra 100+rs per month.

My plan was and unlimited plan with speed of 512kb/sec till 10GB and 256kb/sec after that but now they have upgraded it to 2mb/sec for 10GB and 256kb/sec after that. My problem is that i was able to consumer an appreciable speed of 512kb/sec for minimum of 15 days a month but now due to 2mb/sec speed my high speed data limit use to get end within the first week of month.

I have contacted costumer care many times but they are not willing to give any positive response to my problem. Either they have to reinstate my old plan or i want the high data usage to be upgraded to 20gb under my current plan.

Hope airtel will do something about it or i will be hitting consumer court soon.

sir
i am the unfortunately victim of your company i have around 7 postpaid numbers with me in my house .i took due to insist of your company.i want to take attention of the company about certain problems which is a total harrasment to me and my family.
first of all i want to tell in the month of january 2011 executives of your company came to my house and insisted to take 4 numbers in cug plan ,and similarly i took the numbers [protected],[protected],[protected],[protected].
due to these numbers i immediately contacted customer care num,bers and requested and instructed them to disconnected the number [protected] because i am getting some unwanted calls.after two three days i got a call from senior official of your company requesteing not to disconnect number ,but i strictly instructed her to disconnect the number as early as possible.she committed me that the number will be automatically disconnected within 48 hours.the number is disconnected around 20 february 2011.
surprisingly the so called reputed company is charging the bill till date .i really shocked and keep informing about this on customer care but who cares for the customer ,the so called reputed company is interested in making money by fraudful activities by duping innocent consumers .no action taken by company to my compaints.i sent my written application to the outlet r c cellular laxmi nagar nagpur but they refused to accept.i sent several e mails but no response got.

coming to the number of [protected]
this time company is try to prove they really involved in fraudful activities by charging forged bill to the customers/consumers.they charged around 1600 billed and 3800 unbilled amount to me as airtel live gprs charges excluding other charges.i shocked to see the amount the services which i have never used the com-pany is going on charging the same.similarly i continuosly informed customer care and nodal officer of concerned region but the company is do not have any bother to response.which is shameful in the market.i paid the bill but i do not got any explanation about this.

[protected]

prior to two months i visited your outlet laxminagar nagpur to migrate my bill plan into 999 advance rental plan.executive informed me the availability and told me to talk on hot line from your outlet.i done the same thing and your hotline executive has instructed me to deposit 999 rs cash at the outlet to activate the plan.i deposited the cash at the outlet but today i recieved the bill of [protected] i again shocked that no such plan is activated on mu number .it is a height of tolerance from a customer /consumer to tolerate such activities of company.

i further glad to tell you that i want to disconnect my all numkbers [protected],[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected],[protect...⇄ further ask you that to give me explanation that why i should not disconnect the numbers and should use your services.
i further inform you that i am going to take following action
1. to file strict civil and criminal proceedings against the company.
2. i am going to refer this matter before press and media so that all peoples should know about the fraudful activities of the company.
3. i will file the written compalint befire TRAI to investigate the mater.

i need a quick response from company as last chance failing action will be taken.

respected sir,

on 24th of february,i had activated a 3g plan costing rs 43 on my number and for that company deducted rs 43 from my main balance. since then my plan has not been activated till today. i registered a complaint to the costumer care executive regarding the problem and company promised me to solve my problem till 27th february evening. But now they are ignoring my number and i am not able to connect to the costumer care helpline. even i am having balance but they are telling me that i cant make calls because of insufficient balance. i am fade up of all such faults of airtel company.

Dear Sir/Madam,

i am post paid customer of airtel mobile and also of airtel digital TV,

recently ie last month i migrated my plan to Ministry of Defence corporate plan ie 199 special super value plan.

First i was asked to take new number as my existing airtel number can not be changed to corporate plan.

When i raised the level i was asked to clear the outstanding last bill cycle period payment, then only i can apply for corporate connection.

On clearing the last bill cycle payment i was asked to submit few documents and verification before the plan can be changed. Also I was told the new plan will be activated only after the bill cycle period is over, so that there is no extra charge to you.

On 26 Jan i got the sms that my plan has been changed to super value cug 199 plan, on inquiry with customer care regarding the plan detail which was offered to me when i applied for change of plan and what actually I got new plan activated on my number had variation in call plan. When i reported this anomaly to your executive he apologised for the mistake and changed the Plan to Special value 199 CUG plan on 28 Jan 12.

Today i got two bill for same period ie 08 Jan 12 to 07 Feb 12 for one number ie [protected].
details of bill number are[protected] &[protected] for two different amount for above number.

sir, my query is how come i have charged with two bills for same period and for same number?
secondly if some adjustment had to be done then i should have been given single bill?
thirdly why for two different bill change plan i have been charged?

Can i request you to kindly look into the matter and resolve the issue on priority and give me one consolidated bill so as to avoid all confusion. Also once promised that bill plan will be changed only after completion of earlier bill plan cycle, then why i have been charged for three bill plan.?

May i request your esteemed office to look into the matter and resolve the mistake on priority. thanks in anticipation of favorable and fast action.

yours sincerely
Shekhar Chopra

hi
i got call from cell no
and he gave another number [protected] asked me to call that number for confirmation o n winning the 25 lac lottery.
when I called that Rohith Sharma in Mumbai said he is a manager of sbi and asked me to recharge my cell 500/- and i will get my 25 lac.For that I should switched of my mobile for till 9 am next day and he took my account number.

And I know this is a new strategy of selling the products
thanks

Dear SIr,

This is to inform you that i had my airtel no.[protected] working since 5 years but all of the sudden it got disconnected.
Before disconnecting they used to steal my balance and when i complain they used to give me excuse that its a irrecursive process.
after disconnecting the sim When i check it with airtel they tell me that it was disconnected due to no activity since six months but it was a lifetime sim also used to show validity till 2016 i think.
And then is said give me the same no back i will buy it again at that time they tell me that its sold to someone else.
but where as i think it was done purposefully just because someone can bribe them for this number.
So its my humble request to you to take some action and all who use airtel i would just say shift to anyother company soon

Thanks and Kind regards,
Matin Modak

I was charged Rs. 149 for two things that I did not even down loaded it. When I called up the customer care they were of the view that customers are liars that can be referred from from his statement.
He said that the customer are not going to tell the truth.
This incident have happened with me many times. Every time i have asked the customer care executive to stop sending me any such messages but the same keeps on happening every now & then.
The customer care is also not readily reachable.
I asked the executive to register the complaint. Below are the details

Complaint No:[protected]
The amount was deducted for downloading Java Games. (Rs. 99) & sports alerts services(Rs. 50)

I regret that I am still using Airtel & this is what i receive for being a loyal customer of Airtel for last 4 years.
I seek help so as to eliminate torturing of consumers by such organization.
I am just an example of the hardship that most Airtel consumers have to go through.

I got an Airtel simcard no [protected] on 15 Feb n=and activated 3G services on 16 Feb for 450 rupees. They said 1200 MB free download will be available. But within 14 days all my recharge money were taken emptying to 0 balance. Download MB was even less that 500 MB.

No propeer response when called the cutomer care at 121 and 12134. They tend to transfer the call to senior person but no proper response. They dont even have data about the recharge details of the customer for their mobile nos. What a joke. They are not specifying the download details also and they say they cannot retrieve it. It really funny to here this. Airtel a big company in India dowsn't maintain important information about their customers. Fraud people. Steeling money from their customers.

Please take severe action in this regard

I have purchased an airtel prepaid data card from airtel office in madinaguda,hyderbad in feb 2012 and when i tried to browse internet
it gets disconnected every 2 minutes and when i go and complain in the same airtel office they tell try in a different laptop, when i tried in a different
laptop but it is still the same they tell that it might be signal problem and when i told them that i get good signal for my mobile at my place they asked me to give a try and come back and in case if the problem persists they promised that they will change the sim as it is sim problem. Today when i went to thier office and told them that I still face the same problem they totally tell a different reason and say that the airtel data cards have known chip problem and after purchasing the data card the chip has to be changed and they have only one service center where this chip can be changed and that is in khairatabad.When I questioned the person why this was not told to me when i bought the data card the person who sat in the counter told me if it is me i would have told you. Is the way they treat a customer ? I had to leave my data card and sim there as it is of no use to me. I paid Rs 1800/- for the data card and Rs 675/- for the sim card and after paying so much of money I had to leave it there with even using it ?
If they clearly know that they have a problem with the chip in their data cards why can't they rectify the problem before
selling the data card to the customer, or else they should stop selling the product itself when they know that it is a failure ?
Why should they cheat the customer. It is waste of my time since i had visted their office 3 times to get it rectified and finally had to
leave my datacard and sim with disappointment . I wasted my money and time by buying airtel data card. I am writing this complaint , so that atleast people like me will not be cheated in near future.

It is shame on the part of a company like airtel cheating it's customers like this.

I am using airtel for last six years. Airtel gave lot of surprises. They also did frequent customer satisfaction surveys. But these days they are robbing my money. they frequently changing the rate cutter plans without informing. I paid around two hundred and forty rupees. now my other mobile cost is 60 paise and airtel cost is 10 paise. actual thing is without ratecutter my mobile cost for other mobile is 50 paise.

Airtel please dont be evil

I am using airtel no. since 4 years until last few months.
I faced lots of network problems and due to my hectic schedule and some uncertain personal problems, i never got time to keep on complaining,tracking and being in waiting queue.
Later I was recently surprised with a monthly bill amt of 4k and with total of 7500 of last 2-3 months which i intentionally didn't paid until and unless I could have got the reasonable waiver after cross checking.
However my no. was barred from outgoing and incoming service but i still kept my sim on though I had my other reliance no. working.

However to my very big surprise, on Sunday(Holiday) dated February 26,2012,my friends, relatives,paternal uncles calls me up and says they are getting calls from so called Airtel agents Pankaj Shashtri and a lady complaining, abusing and insulting me about my bills and asking me about my whereabouts.
I was totally depressed and furious to see such unethical irresponsible behaviour and such a disgusting unprofessional attitude of recovering.

Later on same day, the lady also called up my elder sister and asking her to pay the bill.
My sister was being insulted at personal level, later my brother-in-law when took over the call, she insulted him as well and ask their address so that they can get them in trouble if they or me doesn't pay the amount they ask.
My sister has nothing to do with my mobile no. and bills. Why they called her, my cousins and friends?
I totally lost my social respect with just
My loving parents were nomore since 2 years due to unfortunate heart attack.
These people weren't even scared to go analyse my personal life,my personal connections,insulting my social respect.
It was beyond patience when the lady even insulted my sister's emotions arrogantly saying as if 'we have lost our parents, this is why we don't have culture and roaming like frauds and cant afford bills"
Look who's talking about culture and manners?
The guy, today Feb 27, kept on calling me, and simply laughs when i shout back.
When I warned about my police complaint, he is not bothered for it, seems like Airtel and these agents have LAWS in their pocket.
I do agree, bills are pending but I had bills regularly since 4 years.But is this the way to recover ?

Now, I want to sue these and worst company Airtel and show them what they deserve to mentally,socially and personally harass me?
My sister will submit complaint to Airtel office for such personal,unauthorized,unreasonable and threatening call to her and thereby I am going to take legal steps ahead starting from this Consumer Complaint forum.

I have the callers's name, no and their few call recordings.
If anybody authorized from Consumer complaints or legal panels will get back to me for proceedings, I would like to get in touch asap.
