Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Airtel is a big cheat they are issuing bills even if you phone is dead.
16740

I have been getting a message saying that I have renewed for the airtel's [protected]@5 service and rupees 5 has been deducted from my balance. I have not subscribed to it. but it is deducting money every day. I called customer care and told them about the problem but they cut the call without intimating. Immediately i called again and told them that i called few minutes before and i did not get any respone. He asked me to wait, in order to check details but he did not come back. i waited for 20 minutes on line. And when i call again it is not allowing me to connect to the customer care executive anymore. Instead asked me to dial *121# . But eventhough no use. Plz deactivate this service on my number. My number is :[protected].

I have requested Airtel DTH to close the connection and refund the balance amount Rupees 959 in my account [protected] last month. They have done CPE recovery on 03/04/2011 after following up with them for 30 days. Even after CPE recovery they have not refunded my money. Am following up with them daily basis, there is no response to emails, service request are being closed down without being resolved. Its one of the worst service providers. Request the authorities to refund my money at the earliest.

Subject: REMINDER 3: FINAL REMINDER & COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS WITH AIRTEL SERVICE AT TWO NUMBERS

Dear All,

It comes with a lot of grief as the patience I displayed, Airtel was truly unworthy of the same. I hold a number 88..226...(You can know the two numbers I complain about thru the complaint number as its unsafe to put them on a public forum) I had visted the Airtel office and met Mr Nand Kishore with all the below mentioned problems and he was supposed to revert back to me by 8th April Thats the next day with a solution. As they had not creditted back the amount I had paid in the initial(500 rs). I called three times to Mr Nanad Kishore on 8th, which you can also check in the gemntleman's call log, but neither did he honour his commitment, nor did he call back. Then Mr Saurabh Kumar, one of my aquaintance working with Airtel who had met me when I was talking to Mr Nandkishore, called me as I had called him after calling nandkishore and tried offering me a solution. He said that 200 rs will be immediately creditted and then 100 each will be creditted every month. When I asked that I want to speak to Jyoti, to whom nandkishore reports, he suggeted he will be able to give the solution. Trusting the same, he offered me to give an immediate discount for the mistake Airtel had committed in not paying me back my 500 rs., he offered 200 rs discount immediately and 100 each for 3 months which follow. Not satisfied with the solution as i did not trust AIRTEL, i agreed as he was an aquaintance. With the problem with the other number, he told me he will take around 4-5 days to revert, I agreed, and I waited. It has been 20 days and I have no response nor any communication. I paid the previous bills on both numbers, as directed, and as 88..226... was on dispute I reduced the amount which was on discount and paid, but accidentally i miscalculated and still paid more, The disputed amount was 602, and what I did not pay was 457 or so, as it was disputed. I was getting conactant calls from Airtel on the number from gurgaon and I told them thats its in dispute and I am still awaiting a response.

Yesterday I recieved my Bill intimation on my cell, which said that my bill is 544. Now when I felt it was more as the calling i did did not exceed 390, i called them up for clarification. I realise that I have recieved 135 rs as discount, which comes with the freedom 249 plan and still did not get the discount of rs 100 which was promised to me. When I asked them as why did I not get it, they say, there is still no mention of the deposit amount paid. Why? When I gave you all details and still there is no update, do i have to fight everymonth now to get my own money. When i asked him in what section was the 200 rs dicount given last time, he said that it was for custmer loyalty and to oblige me but is no where mentioned that it was for the return of the 500 rs I paid in security deposit. lodged a new complaint no 37150970 with my shazad alam. (I have a recording of the conversation, if you wish, i can send it across to you, and it is a customer call where the customer care wasted 1 hr and still no solution)

I really do not know how the organisation is run and what filthy customer cheating practices you might follow, I am tired, agonised and over with facing such trauma with Airtel. I want that my 500 rs that i paid in the initial, be refunded to me Immediately, I am not willing for a month to month adjustment.

With my another number 88..226..., I am still to get a revert, and no details have been given till now. I am not going to pay the charges for a service I have not used. The reversal of Rs 602 has still not happened, after repeated reminders, Visiting your ofiices, showrooms, wasting my precious time, wasting fuel, causing mental stress...and the list of damage is endless.

Kindly do not send me auto generated mails, I want people to write mails readin everything. There is a chain of trailing mails, and I guess there would be someone in the airtel who would care for the company, and not like to run away from responsibilities(like all I have met till now), and hence will read it all and can solve.

Connection Booking Date: 21.04.2011
Connection Given Date : 28.04.2011

I have been given Airtel DTH connection with recorder on 28.04.2011 after very painful/agonising experience from your organisation. The installation was promised on 22.01.2011 and after vigorous followup by me it was at last installed on 28.04.2011.
After the installation to my surprise I am finding that the transmission is of very very poor quality. The channels are very blurred and is worst than local Cable operators distribution signal. The installation person has informed that the transmission quality will be of what I am getting. If this is the case then what is the use of taking DTH connection from your company. All other operators are giving very much better quality as is seen by me with my neighbors in my apartments who are using Tata Sky, Dish TV,Big TV. Some of the channels to name a few like NTV, ABN,NICK,SVBC,Gemini News, Gemini Movies, Subhavarta and many of other channels are not shown and these channels are getting stucked up and the set top box does not respond to any channels after this. Again and again the Set top box is to be restarted by switching off the power to the box.
I am also not given HD Cable along with the set and the installation person has informed that it is not available with him and after receiving the same he will be providing it. The Set top box being a HD equipment, I am amused that the pre requisite of supplying of HDMI Cable in order to watch HD channels is not met and what is the fun of having taken a HD Recorder, which only your company has to understand/explain. As promised while booking the connection, the HDMI Channels have not been activated and the message that the channels are blocked message is coming if we try to view the HD Channels.
I request you to immediately rectify these errors of transmission and see to it that the quality which is expected of a DTH TV is made available to me. If for any reason you are not able to maintain or provide me the quality of DTH transmission as being advertised by your company through various modes and is not up to the industry standards I think I have every right to return the connection and take the full refund from you for not being able to give the required quality of service.
Hope you will resolve the issue on top priority today itself.

Tel No [protected]

I am airtel customer from last year. I am R.K.Choudhary from Jharkhand,my mob. no. is [protected]. The problem is that from the two months ago my mobile balance is deducting regularly even i have not activated anything.sometimes it deduct Rs30,sometimes Rs20,sometimes Rs10.........and sometime in made negative balance........... and so on. And now generaly it deducts Rs30 without providing me any information.I have complained about it in the call center but no any steps have been taken.Even then I called to the customer care and he also not received any call and if received,then cut my call latter.Is this a method to treat any customer????? this is not good.so please see to this problem and take some steps.if this problem would not get solved in few days then i'll leave this sim and would start using another.And one more thing return my all money back.Almost Rs100 has been deducted from my mobile balance.It is very shameful..

My Dish TV (Customer # [protected])is not working since 25th April and inspire of daily reminder you guys are not taking any pains to get it fixed. It was a big mistake I took Airtel DTH

On 25th I tried to call at 12150 but your representative didn’t pick up the call. Then on 25th Apr I have sent the sms HELP at 54325 and I got a message that your representative will call me but no one called me till now.

Again on 26th Apr I called at 12150 and complained about the problem with complaint # 7362815. I was told that this will be fixed before 5:00PM on the same day (26th Apr) and I will have to pay Rs. 100 fixing this issue. Still no one from Airtel DTH has approached me to fix this problem.

You want to charge back to customer for fixing the problem where as you don’t understand that pains that we have to take I am already paying you the subscription charges where as I am unable to avail these services since 25th because of negligible response from your team.

Daily I am calling you guys and every time I call I get a complaint no 7439136 on 28th Apr, 7397291 on 27th Apr, 7362815 on 26th apr

You people have really crossed the limits is this the way you treat your customers?

i did send the email yesterday.you give 24 hours time.now but i think your given time period expire.why you did not solve my case.

I am anees akhter.My airtel no is [protected].Getting an Airtel
prepaid connection was the biggest mistake of mine in my life till now.I am
facing problems with my balance.. when i did recharge this
number([protected]) than show my balance. but after some time my balance
automated deducted.till now i had lost 40 rupee balance.My number not show
negative balance. than why you did deducted my balance.i will go against to
you.Please as soon as my problem.i have only one pack 98 GPRS.I have no other
service.

I tired contacting 121 their customer care number but no response as it is
automated and takes too much of time. I called a post paid customer care
executive who was not helpful either and only told me to get back to 121. On
the third inquiry with the post paid customer care executive i was given a
number[protected] which no one was picking up. After searching on the
Internet. I got a toll free number 600 600 for problems related to recharge of
prepaid an amount of six bucks was deducted from my prepaid account. I then
searched for the email id which was [protected]@airtelindia.com.

So much for automated systems and so much for customer care. I guess if i
recharge i will lose the entire amount. which I do not understand for what it
is being deducted.

My number [protected] have requested for MNP from Reliance to airtel on 19th April and provided the related all docs on 19th April, still now whenever I go to airtel office, they will tell that it will done and when i call some customer executives will tell the status will updated today or tomorrow,some will tell they can't see any update on my no ,pls visit nearest airtel office. So I have visited Airtel office many times. I am totally disagree & fed up your system and customer relation officers, because they are are not support with us. I have also discussion with your customer care center over phone various times and they have given many request reference numbers, which are as follows CMPRO[protected], CDAMN[protected] and CDAMN[protected]

Current issues

1)If MNP status is not known by this adopted operator-Airtel .I can't believe what a dumb customer service such a giant like Airtel is having (some can see the status /some can't see..Some miracles in back end)

2)TRAI doesn't hold this service providers for any such issues caused to customer ,if we are not ready for MNP .why to showoff that we will PROMISE to upgrade in 7 days which we are totally INCOMPETENT of?

3)Finally ,let me if Airtel doesn't require me to upgrade ,i don't care and neither i respect Airtel for this .I will be happy with my already stupid service operator-Reliance
As a saying goes,BETTER TO STAY WITH KNOWN ENEMY THAN UNKNOWN FRIEND(Airtel)

Thanks & Regards,

Viajy Mishra.

Cannot deactivate from AIRTEL mobile TV

i downloaded AIRTEL mobile TV app on my NOKIA E63, & while browsing the channel packages i accidentally subscribed to one of the packages ie
All channels pack @Rs. 40/week for 20 min.
without any messages Rs. 40 was deducted from my balance.

When i tried to unsubscribe immediately i couldn't find any option o[censored]nsubscribing. I tried sending message UNSUB to 54321 many times but with no results.
i removed the application that very day, but on sunday 24th april, Rs. 40 was deducted from my Airtel mobile automatically.
when i called Airtel customer care they said they cannot do anything & that i should go to Apalya.com site & unsubscribe from there itself.
But there is no option o[censored]nsubscribe or deactivating the service anywhere in Apalya.com site.

i want you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. I cannot keep on losing Rs.40/week for application that i dont use.

Hi Customer care,

We have been holding 12 Airtel post paid account in the name of "Sunshine Residency Resorts Pvt Ltd".
Below mentioned are the phone numbers being used,

1. [protected]

12. [protected]

We have being using Mobile No : [protected] for our marketing purpose, so this has been distributed and used with our company name. Because of disconnection of this number we are serving loss.

This problem has started with SMS pack recharge at Airtel Center at shoprixx Mall Sector 61, we have applied for 100 rupee SMS pack. And then after we utilized SMS service and SMSed some thousand SMS's. Thereafter a month later we have received a bill of more than 6000/- Rs, in which more than half amount was SMS usage amount.
After having lot of discussion with the Customer care team at 121 we are unable to receive a waiver on the same. Whereas our marketing number [protected] is now permanently disconnected.

We want the problem with bill and waiver should be resolved so that we can make the payments of all the bills immediately. Until this problem is resolved we find no bill clearance of all above mentioned number.

Thanks and Regards

I am holding Airtel prepaid sim card. I received a call from airtel agents suggesting for prepaid to postpaid conversion. I got convinced and a guy named Jeetu Pavale([protected]) came for collecting necessary document on April 07, 2011. I was assured that the whole process wud take max 7 days. I was charged Rs.300/- for the conversion and received the receipt (Receipt No. 106449) and a welcome kit (sim card inside). But till now it is not activated. I have been calling the airtel representative who came for collecting the documents since long and that fellow is not at all picking up my calls. Pissed off calling hundred time daily to the Airtel representatives and on the top of it they assure me tht the complaint has been registered and I would be getting call from the responsible person in 24 hrs. Also provided me with the Request No. 37027043. Its been a week but didnt receive any calls from them!

This agent is seriously spoiling the name n image of Airtel.
My question is - Is there any way through which I can check if my documents have been submitted with Airtel or not.
I m afraid that by doing this kind of act they are just making fool of general public.

please look into this matter n reply soon!

thank you.

Dear sir,

We have taken new airtel land line connection combo plan 2 months back. Since last 5 days the broadband is not working and we called the customer care 198 and 121 but we did not get any response. Some how we could able to speak with the customer care executive ms akansha jain the previous day but she was very rude and did not registered the complain regarding our broad band connection. We have already paid the bill of last two months and still it is reflecting we have not paid the bill amount.

Kindly take the suitable action other wise we will go to the consumer forum for the same.
Our land line no is[protected]. This is of raipur-chhattisgarh


Thanks

Its been 1.2 years im using the Air tel Digital TV. The box stopped working from last 12 days and i raised the complaint 10 days back. The funny part is if you call customer care no one will attend the call.
I got a call after 3 days and i gave the complaint and thy provided me with a case number. Its been another 7 days im doing the follow ups with engineers and fell to **** thm. As the response is pathetic. I have given my address details and case number to the same engineer more than 6 times. He dont have a data base neither he dont know what the complaint is. Excuses are like leave applications...I dont have digital box in stock..i dont have screws to tighten...wat d **** ? ...
I have decided to cancel this **** for ever and never will use Airtel in my lifespan.
Anyone who have the power to raise this kind of issues...pls react against them.

Thank you

I got Broadband Connection in Apr 2009 on my landline No[protected]. Due to repeated errors in billing I requested closing the Connection. Airtel assured me that the error will not be there on landline as details of calls made are sent with the Bills. So, I terminated Broadband and agreed to use only Landline Services from Jul 2010.
I noticed overbilling in Aug and lodged repeated Complaints of DSL charges of Rs 60/- being billed eventhough Net was terminated. Airtel agreed to waive-off these charges. I waited for 3 months but neither waiver nor stoppage of DSL charges was done. Hence, I asked them to permanently close the connection and adjust the last bill against Excess Charges. Airtel continued to lure me with many offers at least rates. Their Mr Ashish Pandey Mob [protected], team Leader Noida, promised immediate waiver of Balance and restoration of Outgoing Calls on payment of Rs 2000/ which I did same day.
For last 10 days I am getting Messages of discontinuation of Services if I donot pay the Balance Amount immediately. My effort to contact Ashish meets with NO REPLY
and the SMS TO LODGE COMPLAINT shows error everytime. Finally, I contacted his assistant Mr Raj on 27/04/2011 and he promised to expedite waiver. Yet I got a threat today to pay the amount or forego the Connection.
I am a House-wife of a middle-class family and fed-up with such ruse. Kindly help me at the earliest as my elder daughter in USA has only this No to contact. Please also send a BSNL Landline-cum-broadband service request form to enable me to switch over to more reliable ISP.
Thanking you.

Hello, I''d taken a new Airtel digital TV connection on 10-Mar-2011 of Rs.3450/-. But I''d to cancel it (on the very same day) due to some technical reasons: 1) Dish connection on our society terrace not allowed. 2) No east window open in my flat (this was not intimated earlier during ordering). I''d registered my complaint regarding the refund on 14-Mar-2011 & was assured on 16-Mar-2011 that I''ll get my money in the next 7-10 days. After waiting for more than 20 days, I again called your customer care on 07-Apr-2011 & got a reply that I''ll get my money in next 48 hours. But then even after a week no refund was received. I again called up 14-Apr-2011 & the representative asked to send an email complaint. I did that also but in no respnse till now. I then called up again on 17-Apr-2011 & was assured of refund within 48 hrs. But still I havent received my refund amount. Every time I call up their Customer care I get a different answer or a promise that I''ll get it in next 48 hrs. Here are my details: Customer Name: Alpesh Dudhwala Customer ID: [protected] Receipt Invoice no.: 27120 Dated: 10-Mar-2011 Refund Amount: Rs. 3450/- Date of complaint: 14-Mar-2011 Please help me on this.
