Airtel Complaints & Reviews

MY SELF VISHNU GUPTA & MOB. NO. [protected]. I REQUESTED TO CHANGE MY NO. FORM POSTPAID TO PREPAID BEFORE ONE & HALF MONTH & UPTO NOW MY REQUEST IS NOT FULLFILLED & DURING MY LAST CONVERSATION WITH CUSTOMER CARE PERSON STATEMENT GIVEN TO ME THAT IT WILL BE DONE BY 11TH FEB, 2011. & REF NO. IS 35691397 & 8184149. NOW I AM WAITING FOR THE FOVOURABLE RESPONSE.

I have applied for postpaid to prepaid conversion for my mobile number on 31st July, 2013. Till it's pending. I visited two times to saltlake citycenter airtel store in kolkata. But no action was taken. Then I complained so many times to airtel customer care by email. But still it's pending. I haven't expected this type of harassment from airtel. Because I am using another airtel no for a long time and also I am using airtel DTH. But now I have decided that I'll go for MNP to vodafone. I think vodafone service is much better than airtel. This mobile number was with vodafone previously and I never faced any problem that time. My email id is: monoj.[protected]@gmail.com

Hi,

I am facing issues with Airtel. When I asked for the help, they simply like to reply whatever they like to but not about the actual problem. Kindly help me in this case. Following is the full conversation with Airtel
I have paid the money for the bill which I haven't used

Hi,

Please don't give the answers without reading them
For one of the concern, you are saying it as address verification is
compulsory, we will do it.

But the most important thing is the following one. Can you please look into
this issue

The important point that you should understand is
1. Whatever I paid 1500 rs and the bill amount 173.04 what you are talking
about is purely and solely due to the mistake from airtel side. I didn't do any
wrong.
It's only airtel didn't do the requested action and moreover asking me to pay
the bills (eventhough I am not using it)
2. Will you try to understand the problem? and who caused it? or keep saying
pay this pay that?
3. If it's the issue with Airtel, how Airtel will ask me to pay bills?
4. When I called the customer-care person's Manager, hope it's you, you said to
send a mail to [protected]@in.airtel.com for refund of my money via cheque. But now you
are not at all talking about these?

Airtel — Unauthorized service activation and deduction

Dear concern,
I am using a Airtel prepaid connection [protected] on 10 Feb 2010 my account balance was Rs.50 but when i checked my balance on 3 Apr 2010 it was Rs.-2.63 when i called airtel customer care executive name Vicky Sharma says there is Matrimonial Alerts acivated from 15 Feb 2010 on my account for which Re.1 is deducting on daily bases till date. However i have not activated any kind of service on my this number moreover i have not made any single call from this number as well from mentioned date i have communicated the non activation of any service from my end but he is not agreed upon the same and not been able to provide any solution nor he was able to provide any request which could justify his clarification for service activation on my request. This is total harrasment and loot everytime any telecom operator activate there VAS services on customer's account without any consent
i am using my another number right now therefore i stopped using my airtel number but totally shock to see my balance and customer service response over this issue. I request you to do the needful in this manner as i am not the only one who has become the victim of there wrong activity with no regression.

OUAT — Cheating by airtel

I converted my airtel mobile service to super life by paying Rs 999/- on 18.11.2007. But in the message it is coming that my service will expire on August, 12, 2010. I got no satisfactory answers from dealers. Frequently, advertisements are coming for Airtel super life up to 2024 only by paying rs 999/-. many customers have done this and same expire date of 2010 are coming. Why such false advertisements and cheating by airtel authorities?

Airtel — ignorant & illiterate billing department.

I have a land line connection with number 47014289. On 15/12/2010 i had applied for IPTV connection by paying Rs.1750/- cheque no. 451379, dt. 15/12/2010, HDFC bank. Within some days my IPTV was installed by the agency boy. But the very next day it went off. Imade many complaints, I even have some complaint registration numbers with me 43250256 dt.15/02/2010, 43315472 dt. 21/02/2010 , 43334888 dt. 21/02/2010, 43405092 dt. 23/02/2010.

On somewhere around 15/03/2010 my IPTV was reinstalled as the executive told me that they had received a disconnection request by someone earlier.

Anyways now in APRIL 2010 i received a bill for Rs. 2308/- which includes Rs.1750/- as installation charges of IPTV. I made some complaints for my bill and i even have those complaint numbers. I was badly bothered by the calling staff of airtel to pay my dues a large number of times and i had to explain them my whole story repeatedly.
Then one day i was told by a calling guy to pay my balace Rs.558/- and the balance Rs.1750/- will be adjusted. Now my connection has been blocked for non payment.
I am facing a lot of difficulty as my business is suffering due to disconnection of interne. phone and IPTV i am not much bothered about.

Dear Mr. Rakesh,

Now the same problem is being repeated for my residence connection number i.e.[protected].
I had taken the the IPTV connection by paying Rs.1750/- cash. After filling the form & paying full installation charges i had to cal on many numbers repeatedly for at-least a month to beg for the IPTV connection. Now in my bill for the month of April the same amount Rs. 1750, has been charged again for the installation of IPTV.
I made a complaint but the response is not satisfactory & i am receiving call for the payment without any correction of bill again & again..

And now finally i am expecting you people to disconnect my services very soon for non payment.

I am Hani itself. I forgot to include my alternate number. My alternate number is [protected].Expecting a resolution at least this time.

Hello Mr Rakesh Ranga,
If you look at my complaint. You may be able to understand that it was dated 4th October 2012 . Excuse me if I am being rude.
Today the date is 12th October 2012. And you guys have not done anything so far. You guys didn't even call me to provide any sort of assistance.
Did you know the life span of a MNP request is 15 days. If you didn't know that by now, it indirectly means that you are not eligible to sit on that grievance seat.
I had provided you all the proper ID proof, a passport size photograph, MNP request number and papers along with my signature every where required. This is not the first time I am submitting the same but the 3rd time.
Are you aware of our Government of India rule that states "MNP should be done within 7 days and a max of 14 days after which, if not done consumer can file an FIR against the Service provider to be brought into trial.
What else do you expect from me as a customer of yours who very much want to get rid of your pathetic service. Do you want me to pay bribes to you to get things done. If so do let me know.
This proves that Airtel and it's people are so very much lazy and ignorant of their responsibilities and duties to serve the customers.
I very much feel pity for the owner of Airtel Mr. Sunil Barthi Mittal for having to appoint such irresponsible and ignorant and lazy people to do the work for his company which once upon a time was the best. Mr. Mittalji times have changed very much now and your employees have destroyed your old name and fame. Now that I am ashamed to recommend Airtel to anyone.
I guess this text reaches Mr. Mittal at least before he dies so that he can clean up Airtel. Otherwise like Apple and Steve Jobs, Airtel will be a old story.
I am so much frustrated because I had been an Airtel customer for so long about 6 to 7 years on that [protected] Airtel number. Ever since 3G arrived, I had never been able to use that on that specific number. My concern started from that day onwards. I called up ur customer care they were interested in disconnecting calls or telling me some gimmicks and hanging up. That is the reason why I emailed you at Airtel presence and fb. There also they started telling me excuses and asking me to wait for a resolution. I wasted not just days expecting it to happen but time and money for 3G recharges. How can Airtel deny 3G to only my specific [protected] number with bad reception when my friend staying close by had 3G.
So at last I ended up trying 3G from a different service providers like BSNL and Aircel. I was amazed by the 3G price and facilities provided by Aircel. Which was the reason why I wanted my [protected] on Aircel network.
Why should I remain on a network like Airtel which not even cares for any issues that I come across from their network. What does Airtel gain out of glueing me on to their network when I never intend to be on their network even if everything they provide is free. I really don't need anything from Airtel other than the port out from Airtel.
I need proper explanation regarding everything from Airtel because the harm that they have done on me is just not forgivable.
I want the full help and support of the post master at this consumer court to take necessary actions against Airtel for bringing this so for.
I just really hate to utter Airtel. So Sir please help me get rid of this bugger Airtel.

Mr Airtel,
When will your team finish their work. Are they doing some kind of town planning for the next year's to come.

Hello the great Airtel,
My issue raised on 4th October 2012 has not been taken care so far. My issue dated 4th October was regarding a small concern that I wanted to port out from Airtel network and join Aircel. My Airtel number [protected] still remains on your Airtel network till date which means that my issue is not resolved. If any of you lazy Airtel staff has closed my case saying it is resolved doesn't mean that my issue is resolved. If that is not the case you must be an illiterate fellow not good enough to understand my issue in simple English. Airtel must be ashamed of you guys to keep you guys to service their customers.
Hani.

MY ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. I NEED A CALL FROM WHICH EVER PERSON WHO STATED THAT MY CASE WAS CLOSED WITHOUT EVEN CALLING ME ONCE TO KNOW MY CONCERN OR FIX IT.
YOU GUYS ARE BIG TIME CHEATS.

YOU AIRTEL NEVER FIXED MY PROBLEM. I AM STILL ON AIRTEL NETWORK.

my customer id is [protected]
you can contact me on corresponding registered mobile number.

Subject should be "Bill raised after submitting instruments" and not documents.

I agree to the beta aviation. the services of AIRTEL are really pathetic. Airtel should be banned for operations in india,

TODAY AT ABOUT 20-05HRS I HAD RECEIVED A CALL FROM[protected] WITH A ABUSIVE AND UNPARLIAMENTARY LANGUAGE. NOW I WANT THE CUSTOMER NAME AND FULL ADDRESS WITH EMAIL ADDRESS. PLEASED TO FURNISH THE SUPRA DETAILS EXPEDITLY TO ENABLE THE CUSTOMER.

My bill was due for airtel broadband from 4 months
I paid in two checks -axis bank one of them bounced
The collection department started calling up numbers from my bill
And started abusing about my mother
The connection is on her name
What can be done now ???
This is height of everything
I'm so tense now

I have been facing more or less similar issue, i have a reported a complaint here also. Airtel is one of the biggest fraud. I have an Airtel Mobile Connection which i'm planning to port to some other service provider. They take your instruments and ask you to pay the bills which are generated after they take your instruments.
