Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I purchased Airtel 4G Device from Univer Cell Shop, Whitefield Bangalore on 4th August 2013. Even after repeated complaints the device is still not active. It's pathetic customer care service and such a long delay in the service. I used to think Airtel but this is so slow. No wonder there service will be of any worth. It is a waste of time

I am an airtel customer using the number [protected]. On 9th june at 10:29 am I received a message from airtel saying "thanks for downloading video value pack from airtel. You have been charged rs. 65.0." On the contrary, I never authorized any such download. Moreover, when I checked my balance immediately after receiving this message I was shocked that rs. 65.0 had been deducted from my balance. I request airtel to make look into this and make amends by refunding the amount of rs.65.0 as soon as possible. waiting for a response.

I have my Airtel mobile number registered with DND. But even then, I daily receive promotional calls from various banks. Everytime Airtel Customer Care Executives tell me that they will take some action but nothing done so far. I believe, AIRTEL IS SIMPLY BREACHING DND POLICY SET BY TRAI. Mobile No : [protected] Request the concerned authorities to take appropriate action.

The Connection 4G data plan for [protected] is not working for last 3 weeks. I get NO(U)SIM , every time I connect. I have called 121, technical support [protected] and walked in to Airtel store at Indranagar 100ft road . This issue is not fixed. I am paying almost 2500 rs every month for this service, very bad customer service and no service as per airtel. Isend email to [protected]@in.airtel.com, Still no response.

Dear Nodal Officer, Regarding your reply, I am so upset with your below email insisting me to walk in to your customer agent and I have to write self declaration to obtain my SIM which I was using for more than 5 years, and It was Airtel Customer Care’s Mistake/or purposeful intention, It’s really an unexpected reply from your instead of correcting Airtel's mistake you are tell me to spend my time and I have to pay for it, As per the previous reply from Mr.Humayun from Nodal team with reply to my email dated 03/Sep/2013, He/She advised me to submit the ID proof and I have send same to Nodalofficer.[protected]@in.airtel.com accordingly but now your email instructing me to go to customer care and submit my ID proof which is really stressful. However for your information I have recharged with Rs.1000/- thru State Bank Of Travancore(Online Transaction and i have proof of that and even I received SMS from Airtel for Recharging the same) if you really checked my back up or history you will come to know my transactions and the available balance in my Mobile account and also I requesting you to send me the copy of the last transactions. For your Kind information : Several time I have submitted my ID Proof to your agent and its still the same, so just tell me how can resolve this problem and could you please tell me why should I declare the responsibility for the SIM I owned from 05 years; Note : Even I have Police FIR Copy which was used to reissue my same SIM([protected]) when I lost my cell phone in April-2012 and I got replaced from your Airtel outlet in Mysore. I kindly request you to help me resolve this problem, As of now am in Doha, Qatar, where I cannot come to your Airtel Outlet so please help me.

Guys..I WAS CHEATED BY AIRTEL SHOW ROOM AT CAMP ROAD,NEAR SELAIYUR, CHENNAI. I am wondering Airtel shop at camproad near Selaiyur, East Tambaram is their direct shop..or thirdparty. They charge a lot for a sim around 120 rupees. For mobile portability they charge 125 rupees and for micro sim they are charging 125 rupees. However, in Velachery Airtel showroom they said its only 10 rupees for Mobile portability. I was totally disappointed...

I have been charged Rs 2231 for bill dated July 24, 2013 for internet charges. My GPRS was deactivated on my request in mid 2012. It has been informed by the customer care tht the said service was again activated on 10 feb, 2013 without any information to consumer(myself). Any service that is activated has to have a consent of the consumer which did not happen. I have been charged for the services as mentioned above @ Paise 10 / KB where as there is a rental plan of Rs 199 for unlimited internet. The same is to be waived off from my bill immediately Neelendra Srivastava Phone [protected]

I have raised many complaints with Airtel Apellette authority and have spent more than 1 year sharing information through emails and phone calls. MY complaints are not yet addressed and moreover it is very annoying to get MISSED CALLS from the apellite authorities from number [protected] thereafter stating that "we tried reaching you. you were not reachable". You can use latest the complaint No: PO[protected]

i called Airtel Customer service from [protected], for enquiring about the refund of internet charges from the date of activation of the Airtel number [protected] (my other number) to till date, as it was charged with using the services and didnt request airtel to activate internet services. called customer service, for verifying the details and refund of the amount, i was kept on hold by the executive, disconnected the number twice by executive. keeping the customer on hold for long time without any solution provided. irresposible on the call,

I requested for a demo of Airtel 4G LTE from their website. Based on the same, a representative Mr. Karan Kapoor (Mob. [protected]) visited my place and gave a demo. Based on the same, I purchased a "Router" for Rs. 2000 cash and opted for the billing plan of Rs. 650 p.m. (3GB data at 4G speed). After a lot of hassles and follow up, the connection was activated. However I was in for a bigger shock at the end of the month, when I received a bill in excess of Rs. 6800. Om checking the same, I found that they have charged "Six months advance rental for Dongle"!!! Firstly I did not purchase any dongle and had paid for the router in cash and secondly had not opted for any six month advance scheme. As per the discussion I had with the sales rep, Mr. Karan he assured me that this is a mistake and asked me to pay a bill of Rs. 732 (650 +12.6% Service Tax) and the remaining would be adjusted automatically. I did as per the same and also raised service requests viz. 52573196 and 52546253 However both the SRs were closed without any consultation with me and on inquiring them they are saying that the billing is correct, although I was assured of a resolution in 24 hours. Further they have disconnected my internet service as well. For your reference my details are as follows:- Airtel 4G LTE no. [protected] My mobile no. [protected] email id [protected]@yahoo.com/mustufa.[protected]@gmail.com Kindly help resolve the same at the earliest Warm Regards Mustufa M.

I had applied for an Airtel broadband connection. They charged me Rs.500/- saying the connection will be setup in 3 days time. After 5 days, they call me and inform that a connection isnt feasible in my locality and the security deposit will be refunded. It has been nearly 60 days since that promise but no one from Airtel has never contacted me. Inspite of my repeated complaints/requests Airtel is totally ignoring my case.
