Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

Disgusted with Tata Docomo's service I ported my number [protected] to Airtel from an authorized Airtel Shop located at Madhapur , Hyderabad . But these people lost my documents and are blaming me for not submitting the documents at all and telling me to submit again. I am a busy man its not possible for me to go and queue up at their rushed up counters. Please help.

On 20th June we have asked Airtel to disconnect our Land line cum broadband connection immediately from 24 June/26 June 2012 i.e. from billing cycle since we were to leave for USA on 23rd June and our house was closed.In fact prior to that we had followed up with various contacts in Airtel for safe custody plan and their replies were so pathetic and lethargic way that we decided to call off our airtel connection.
We sent reminders for disconnection too again on 20 & 25 June ( from USA).we also made complaints to their Appallete office but they replied they will give us resolution by 18th Aug ( Of June 2012 !! ) and in fact the appalete office found to be more pathetic than even ttheir customer care 121.
We paid whatever due to us for 26 May-25 June bill received online on our email id ( In july 2012 ) and thus we thought we will get our refund of security deposit back.

On returning to India on11 Sept we found physical bill of 26 June-25 July ( when our house was closed and our disconnection should have already taken plavece on 23-to 25 June).In fact they should have sent to my emailid as per regular practice they didnot send on my emailid.
They somehow manulated my security deposit with total wrong billing of June-July and final figure arrived at 183.99--due to them.WE HAVE SENT NEARLY 70 EMAILS TO EVERYONE OF THEM AND ALSO TRIED TO CALL THEIR NOS BUT NOBODY HAS RESPONDED AS THEY ARE AT SLEEP AFTER SUCKING PEOPLES MONEY AND BUSY WITH ANOTHER LOOTING PLANS

Then again I went on reminding them and abusing and warning for legal action them for more than a one month to 121,appallete office,[protected]@in.airtel.com,Ombudus and airtel presence.At last they sent me Rs 183.99 cheque dated of Aug 12.Now they are not even responding to my balance amount of Rs 316.

Here the question is why they swallowed our hard earned money.They must be sucking lacs and lacs of rs from the people this way and normally noboyd has tome and money for recovery of few hundreds rs from such crooked people.The smae company recover money from their customers by legal notice and also by sending Goondas.

The strict action should be taken against such crooked people.They must be penalised for mental harrassment and lootong and cheating their customers.

Dear sir

I had recharged my airtel mobile no. [protected] on 13, October 2012 with Rs. 149 for GPRS pack 2 gb for month (as mentioned on their official website) but as I had not received any data balance I had called airtel customer care and asked for the same
the reply of their customer care executive was that the Rs. 149 recharge is for 300 local and STD minutes for 25 days and they have not updated their website.
as I am residing outside rajasthan for study purpose so 300 minutes are totally waste for me as they are of no use while roaming.
So it is my humble request to kindly provide me 2 GB usage data instead of 300 minutes

Myself Dr. Sumit pal, i am using airtel prepaid mobile service. i used two tariff aimultanuosly because of which one tariff stoped working. when i called customer care to resolve or atleast listen to this problem i found it ridiculous. Before the customer care executive listens to your complain the call drops automatically..it cant b a coincidence as it happens each and every time i call the customer care..that too not only with me rather this is the same story of all my known using airtel prepaid mobile, who try to talk to customer care to resolve their problems, and they are not bothered about it at all how much problems customers face due to their ignorance..

Hi I got the Fake call from pakistan at least country code say so (+92)
I got the call from number [protected] today. The person told me that I won a lottery of 25 lacs and asked me to give a return call so that I can be contacted to branch manager. though I didn't call back considering the fake call.

Please let me know what needs to be done Next? and can you please confirm that its not going to harm me anyway?

I never expected this from BHARTI AIRTEL

I have been charged Rs.40, Rs.20, Rs.15, Rs.90, in various days in the past one month, for activating useless Value Added Services th. Airtel Live(they say). I have got a Smartphone, with a good access to Internet. From time to time, it shows a Notification(useless) to download some or the other thing. In order to remove that notification from the bar, I have to click that once, but as the moment I (or some other person) click on that notification, I get an SMS, that you have been charged with Rs. ..... .... .... ..... many times.

I know, the Company will not be affected much, if I change/convert my service provider to another, but I think, this case might be valid for many others also. SOME ACTION MUST BE TAKEN AGAINST THIS REGARD.

Customer Care pe agar complaint karo to, pehle to wo itni der tak hold karake rakhte hain, aur fir 15-20 mins wait karne ke baad kehte hain, ki AAP PLEASE 4 HOURS KE BAAD CALL KARIYEGA, ABHI HAMARA SOFTWARE NAHI CHAL RAHA HAI.

4 Hours ke baad dobara call karo to, call koi aur uthata hai... aur fir se use puri Kahani, starting se sunao and again the same reply, comes from the other side.

Pehle Daaku luuta karte the desh ko Ghode pe aa kar, lekin ab......!!!!!!

I am registered with DNC yet I continue to receive SMS and marketing calls. I record them on airtel site but they are unable to help.

Don't know what to do??

AX IMALRT service is active by default and service continues unabatedly deducting the balance...121 service for stopping service seems to be an eyewash....i did not expect airtel to make such fraudulent deductions...this service has been the bane of many airtel subscribers but the company does not seem to care especially when its bringing it a bounty albeit by fraud...hope the TRAI takes note

Hi,

I am saurabh and I am using airtel no. [protected]. I just got a message informing me that I have chosen Mirchi FM and Rs. 10 have been charged for 7 days. I am alone to use my mobile and careful enough not to activate any VAS. I am unable to deactivate this. Please help me in deactivating this service and impose penalty on them for doing such activation without sending any request.

Moreover, Airtel customer care service is totally absurd. They don't let you connect to any executive more than once a day and give absurd replies in that one and only call. So you'll end up in frustration calling 121. something needs to be done on this front too.


Thanks,
Saurabh

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Ramesh Nadiger and I have been using Airtel prepaid Mobile No. [protected] since 2008.And I am residing at Nellore in AP at present .The mobile was carried by my wife on[protected] and she was returning home from Childrens park as usual. Two bike riders came speedily and snatched her purse (held in her hand) in which a little money and mobile was kept within a fraction of second and fled away. It was clocking 8.00pm and dark in the evening, so she couldn't note the bike number.
So I request you to arrange to block AIRTEL SIM bearing number [protected].

With regards,

Ramesh Nadiger

As per the request/option received on my mobile No [protected] from customer care of airtel, I have opted for conversion from prepaid to postpaid of 4 mobile numbers of my family members as under:
1) mohan rao [protected]
2) chandrika [protected]
3) mahati kondapalli [protected]
4) charvak kondapalli [protected]

All the above numbers are of airtel service providers. As per my request the customer care department have sent Mr Venkat Reddy, Service executive of our area. Accordingly he has collected all the required documents alongwith photos and signatures somewhere around 22nd or 23rd of september, 12. All the four mobiles were activated on 27th september, 2012(from prepaid to post paid). I have received welcome letters for sl no 1,2 and 4 members. Again on 03rd October, 12 Sl No 2 and Sl No 4 have received messages(sms) for submission of id proof and address proof or else the services will be debarred. After getting assurance from venkat reddy we have ignored the message. Since 6 days the services for both 2 & 4 have been debarred, in spite of providing id proof and address proof of both the members for the second time. I have been calling No 121 regularly and explaining my problem to several service personal and other members who have received my call.The process of calling 121 and placing request for activation have been for 7 times. Again and again i have to put my enter case and tell that i have provided the id proof and address proof second time but no one has cared to solve my proble. Even I have requested them to revert all the four numbers from postpaid to prepaid as they are not in a position to solve my problem.


Will you kindly look into the matter and settle my problem urgently.

Recently I received a message from airtel which stated as follows - "Thank You for choosing ASK AN EXPERT on your airtel mobile. You have been charged Rs.30.0 for 30 days and your account balance post charging is Rs0.[protected] at 18:56."
I am absolutely sure that I did not activate any plans at that time. When I contacted their customer care. They said that I activated the plan via sms. Which I didnt as I veridied it by checking for sent messages. Airtel is eating up my balance by activating such plans without my knowledge. Sir it is my humble request that you look into this matter.
