Airtel Complaints & Reviews

This is fourth incidence of complaint, which they either didn't resolved or I had to do extensive escalation.
Complaint number is 3476106 and 3283707despite of innumerous calls they are not resolving it.

Earlier they cheated me and charged twice for extra cable wire. Cash was charged by people came for installation and they deducted from my account too.

I recharged once for Rs 3350/- it took 4 days to reflect it. Again with extensive escalations.


Last month signal was not coming to my TV it took 3 days to resolve it. Again I had to call every two hours.

Hi



I am Dinesh Namnaik residing in Asalfa, Ghatkopar (West) Mumbai Maharashtra. My
residence land mark is near Hanuman Temple Andheri Kurla road
I'm are using Airtel since Last 3 years My cell number is [protected]. Since
last 2 years net work coverage of Airtel has became very poor in Ghatkopar
West and there is no network available at my place. whereas other networks are
working absolutely Fine. As I'm using Airtel from long time it's not possible
me to switch over to other GSM Provider, whenever I make complain to the
Customer Care these executive they says change you Mobile but other GSM sims
are working fine So please arrange your technical personal to rectify this
problem. i'd already registered a complain on 09/07/2010, i got a reply with the reference to my complain
on 04/08/2010 which states signal boosting has been done on the cell site in your area. Rest assured that you experience better network quality.but still i'm still facing the network problem so please take some serious action against this Careless staff of airtell.

DONT BUY AIRTEL WORLD SIM CARD EVER.

MY SON PURCHASED WORLD SIM BEFORE GOING TO EUROPE AND GOT SO MUCH PUZZLED THAT EACH OF THE SMS SENT BY HIM WERE RECEIVED BY THE ADDRESSEE AFTER 45 MINUTES OR LATER.

I COMPLAINED TO THE AIRTEL CUSTOMER CARE BUT THEY FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM MAY BE THEY ARE AWARE THAT SUCH DELAYS ARE INEVITABLE.

I was using an Airtel no [protected] from past two years. I bought that no. from Airtel office. Last Saturday i lost my cellphone and so the sim was gone. Sim was successfully blocked after verifying my Id, And now when i went to airtel costumer care to ask for duplicate sim of the same no.[protected] the man on phone says that the no. is not on my Name

dear sir

without change my number [protected] .
pleas hack my probleam

I would like to warn everyone who is looking for DTH connection that not to take any coonection from Airtel still i[censored] wish to take a connection order with your nearest dealer instead of ordering online reasons i m stating below

I was interested in getting a DTH connection so enquired on the net and went to Airtel DTH site. There was a form inwhich you need to fill up details if one wants a customer care people to call. I filled up.

Immidiately i received a email from some called Manoj from Vriti-interactive.com, withitn another half an hour that guy called also and told he is calling from Airtel and Airtel & vriti are same and explained all the benefits airtel dth connection has and convinced me to take the connection. next day as asked by him i made the payment online thru my credit card.

But you all will be shocked that till another four working days no installation was done, even when i tried to call the numbers of Vriti nobody picked up the call, Fifth day someone picked up and said it would be installed by them it will take some time if i wish i can canceal the order and my money will be refunded. I said ok better you refund my money.

Next day i oredered Dth of tata sky they installed within 5 hours.

Now after making lot of complaints & requests to both Airtel and Vriti -- no refund been made.

It seems by their behavious that both of them are hand in hand to commit this kind of fraud and cheating. Airtel will forward all details of customers to Vriti. Vriti will cheat people of money. They will take money won't install for days and normally customer gets angry then they will rudely say better you take refund.. and finally you will not get refund nor your monay back.

They must be minting crores by cheating hundreds or lakhs of people daily online as normally no common man will move courts or take any legal action for these small amount of money.

But we should understand they are cheating in crores by cheatinf this small amounts from so many people...

Legal action should be taken against them for committing cyber crime.

I have an inquire to Airtel Customer care dated 03-Aug-2010 Time 11:00 a.m 03Aug2010 and conveyed regarding the talk time vouchers they have.

But they are not an aware about the product details, through my call transfered to Customer care supervisor Kalpana madam. Since I have prosperousness, I got embarrassed with their improperly ended in a drastic and confessional argument.

Without my permission she cutoff my line. But called from her personal mobile no[protected] threatened me as she is having my personal adress details so will spoil your image.

Thus I compliant about this issue to AirTel Team Leader Subasini madam the team leader heard all my recorded arguments with the customer care and confirmed, she apologized to me for the misbehavior inconvenience and by the Kalapana Customer Care staff, further assured me that they will take necessary action against the issue but since till date the Team Leader never resisted my compliant, protect the staf[censored]nofficially. But I again enquired and cross verification about my complaint to another team leader Gowri Madam Reg. my compliant no [protected] after repeating cross checking only i got the answer from the airtel.

I come into conclusion that why the Airtel customer care behavior like this.......... they are not properly paid up by the management thats why the not at all worry and aware that the customer complaints.

A premium branded networking company performance is like this?!
What can we blame about our social behavior or political loop holes??????

I have bought a sim from airtel company(my number was [protected] on my name Palash Mukherjee with proper address proof of PAN card and DRIVING LICENCE to the shop from where I bought the sim. I have already used that phone number for more than six months and the sim was for life time.After a long day when I went to call at that number I have found that it was not my number and it became a number of a person belong to KOLAGHAT OF Midnapore.My question is how is it possible to block my number and how airtel can issue the same number to other without prior notice.My name is Palash Mukherjee and I belong to Burdwan working as employee of Bengal College of Engineering and Technology,Durgapur.My own phone number is [protected].The mentioned phone number([protected]) is staying with my mother at Burdwan.But today(4th August 2010) I have seen this problem.Please help me get rid of this problem.

I Satnam Singh has airtel landline no[protected] at my residence address situated at Rajouri Garden.
From past 3 weeks, I was not receiving any calls on my landline no. When we made call on our no we came to know that the same line hs been connected to some co name WINGS CAB in Dwarka. We had immediately brought this matter in knowledge of Airtel. We had received the call from one of their techincian that some sales person of Airtel has number alloted to the company name WINGS CAB.
To my surprise, how it was possible the the number which was alloted to me from past 7 yrs was sold to anybody and adding on to it the same has been disconnected from my residence and activated at WINGS CAB.

When I objected the same , I was asked by airtel executive to change my number. It is highly disapponting to see that a regular customer is being harrased in such way.
When I objected to change my number even, they have stop responding to my complaints.

Please help to get the justice.

I am having Airtel mobile connection of Kolkata with mobile no. as [protected]. At present I am at Mumbai & got my mobile recharged on 1.8.10 with Rs150.00 at 19:27 from your authorized shop named Friends Mobile, 8/61CCI Colony,MGRoad, Goregaon (West),Mumbai & surprised to see that only Rs0.15 was given as talktime. The shopowner expressed his inability to do anything & advised to go to AIRTEL Relationship Centre.
I had been to AIRTEL Relationship Centre.,Ratna Signal,SVRoad, Goregaon (West),Mumbai on 2.8.10 who informed that I have to recharge again with Rs120/= or Rs333/= & said Reversal of this Rs150/= is not possible.
Since I was in roaming I had extreme inconvenience & would like to know the following;
1) How I can get back my Rs150/= if no talktime is given for that.
2) If talktime has been given under some scheme how much has been given, tariff for outgoing & incoming calls,Present balance & in which no I can check my balance

Your reply will be highly appreciated.

THIS IS A COPY OF THE MAIL FOR WHICH WE DIDN'T RECEIVE A SOLUTION UP TO THIS DATE FOR WHICH WE ARE SUFFERING FROM PAST 3 MONTHS
we possess all the relevant complaint numbers

Dear All,
I am TVN TEJASWI holding a airtel
connection([protected]) from last 4 years with the below mentioned as billing
address
Do.no. 43-3-47/10, flat no S-2 , Bobby Enclave, Railway new colony,
Visakhapatnam,
Andhra pradesh, Pin- 530016.

Today I am here to you regarding the bills not being handed over to us from
past 3 months and we came to know that these bills were given to some 3rd party
with a forgery signature. regarding this we have been spoken to airtel customer
care services 121 hundreds of times but there was no response on this matter.
DETAILS:

1. From may 1st to june 1st our we were out of station, and on may 21th we came
to know that our may month bill has been handed over to some third person named
(KOMALI)on 11th may as per the statement of CCS of airtel where as we don't
have any person named as above in our apartment.
And as per the words of our watchman he din't receive any
letter.
And the same thing has been informed to visakhapatnam manikantha Courier
incharge Mr. satyanarayana and asked him for clarification but he was being
very rude with us no reply from him.
COMPLAINT NUMBER FOR THIS IS 32375157.


2. Up on complaining airtel CCS has informed us that they had send a duplicate
bill on 25th and the same was received by watchman's wife named (BANGARI),
where as her name is not the same what you have mentioned and that was also we
did not received.
COMPLAINT NUMBER FOR THIS IS 32773241.

3. And on june 5th we found 6 duplicate copies of the bill in our letter box
that to delivered from the POSTAL DEPARTMENT .

4. And on june 15th up on asking for the bill (dates of 5th may to 4th june)
to one old courier boy from manikantha services he has stated that our bill is
not with him, after that we had called to CC for the clarification on 18th we
came to know that the bill has been delivered to ONE OF THE FAMILY MUMBER but
where as we din't receive any letter.
and for us CC informed that they are dispatching a
duplicate bill on 18th itself and we will receive the same by 25th.
And on 23rd june 2010 Mr.satyanarayana courier services came with a
original bill and with a small slip for acknowledge signature and upon asking
for the data sheet he responded in a very rude manner that this is the only
data sheet we have to sign on this. And we asked for the duplicate bill he
refuse to handover.

5. And on june 18th we have placed a request to stop ITEMIZED AND PAPER BILL
from this month onwards and send to EBILL. and the same request has
been registered from june 20th to july 24th.
For which we have received the message that our request has been registered.

6. AND this month on ie; july 30th means bill dating (june 5th to july4th) we
have received a DUPLICATE BILL that to not through Courier but with
a GOVERNMENT POST STAMP with ITEMIZED BILL dropped in my letter box.
And on 30th july we have called to 121 and 126 for the clarification
as per their statement airtel CC has not sent any type of BILL , So now we
require clarification for all the above.

NOTE: As per our observation there is a problem with airtel Customer Care team
who are not responding properly for any issues and regarding bills are being
handed over to some third party at our Residence.
Is there any any problem with airtel or with courier.
And these type of Malpractice had started between 22th may to 30th may means
the executives on duty on these dates.

For all the above we require clear details in written and I want a courier
person to come to my residence and clarify the problem that to whom he has
submitted and copy of third party duplicate signature.
I hope the above said problem to be solved as early as possible for a good
and smooth relation between us.
Hoping a wise solution for this with full clarity.

I purchased Airtel's trial offer for 3 months, in last week of June. After that an engineer surveyed the area around my home to fix the dish. Due to some problem with my neighbors, we were not allowed to fix the dish on the roof. As there were no other place to fix the dish, i requested for disconnection of the service. This was done in the last week of June/first week of july.

Till now, i haven't received the amount back in my account from Airtel. I have made numerous calls to Airtel's customer care and talked to supervisor Neha Jain who told me that she's sent an email to nodal office to settle the charges and gave me this email address and a phone number of some Mr.Daya Krishna[protected]. The number seems to out-of-order.

IT'S MORE THAN A MONTH NOW SINCE I DISCONNECTED THE CONNECTION AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE MY MONEY BACK.

WHERE SHOULD I GO?

I am a customer of Air tel prepaid service. My outgoing call has been barred since last one week.i submitted my documents again but my service has not been resumed yet.
i called to customer care many a times but didn't get the positive result.i am facing problem.i had not expected such poor service by Air Tel....

I am not sure if this is an authorised forum to discuss and what are the impact and response I can expect. I am using Airtel blackbery service. I got my account deducted by Rs 899 for the month of July-Aug. But after 10 days of service it got deactivated and it is 6 days since I am calling up customer care support for help but this is not getting resolved and they giving bogus time frames and reasons. It seems since the service provider is physically persence is not there and the complaints are raised through phone it is not at all getting resolved and hoing unheard. I am reaching out for justice. Appreciate if you could help me with resolution to this concern and do not allow service providers to take consumers for granted and the consumer rights are protected.

Dear Sir,

This is Leeroy Fernandes and my airtel mobile number: [protected] . Since 2010 i am the one of most important airtel customer. Previously i am a honest customer and regularly i paid my post paid bills you chek up my payments records also for your reference.we have received on receipt No[protected] Ammount 1520 Rs. in your side From last month 24/06/2010...pls disconnect this nomber. but we have received again bill for your office 382.74 Rs bill no[protected] .pls check it.

I requested Airtel customer care to shift connection from New Gupta Colony to Model Town on 26th July they said it will be done in 3 days, but they don't do that...every time they say it will shifted today by evening...In evening they say wait for tomorrow...shifting will be done...and nothing happen again...

I am waiting for a while than i will go for consumer forum in ashok vihar to file case against him...


All are cheater giving wrong commitment, the executive don't know either gossip and giving wrong commitment..

My Bharti mobile connection (91-11-[protected]) in name of Ami Kapur is as old as approximately 7 years. Upon my request to convert the connection from post paid to prepaid, I was asked to re-submit the KYC documents and in absence of same the account was deactivated for 48 hours.

The concern here are as follows:
1) why should the two division within Bharti not corrdinate within to complete their KYC records
2) Even if re-submission was necessary to support service provider as big as Bharti, why should it take 48 hrs from recipt of resubmitted cos to reactivate the deactivated connection.

Trust anyone would appreciate with incrasing financial dependency on technology and communication, the break of of 48 hrs can cause considerably adverse financial impact on the consurmer and indifference of company's staff towards same is very disappointing - specially from a company of repute like Bharti Airtel Limited.
