Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I had been a customer of airtel broadband for almost 3 years.
First I would like to tell you the history that made me get my 3 years old connection disconnected.

My connection was not working so I filed a complaint by calling airtel customer care. Instead of repeated calling, there was no response till like 10 days. Then i was so frustrated that I filed a request for disconnection. It was after this that I started getting frequent calls from the customer care so I decided to retain my connection and some body visited and connection was working again.
Then in July 2012 I went out of India for two months due to which I could not pay my bill and my connection was disconnected.
i came back in september.
On 7th sep I cleared all my dues and requested to restart my connection.Customer care told me it will start within two days
Till 11th sepetember my connection was not not working.I gave many calls to customer care but no one visited.
Finally frustrated again I filed for disconnection on 21st september clearly mentioning the reason. since then I am repeatedly getting phone calls, every time they ask me the reason for getting it disconnected.
Now they have generated a bill for me dated 24th sep to 13th october and they call me daily asking me to pay it.
Now I wonder for what thing should I pay. I cleared all my dues till 7th sepetmber. since then the connection never worked even for a single day.
If this is how customer care keeps harassing the consumers then permanent customers like me have no option but to turn to other options.
I feel like i made a mistake by having customer relations with airtel

Dear Patrons,
I am writing this complaint after a frustrating experience with Airtel Broad-band service.

I have been a Airtel Broad-band customer for 5 year now and I requested for a relocation of the Airtel connection 2 months ago, to my new residence which is located in the next road in Cooke Town.

Till Date, the relocation has not been completed. Every day I call up Airtel customer Care, which is a frustration by itself and complain. Yet nothing has been done.

I finally got across to the person named Mr Anand who claimed he is responsible and will ensure that the work is completed and this was on the 12th of October.

Today is the 17th of October and still nothing has been done. Today I am trying to reach Mr Anand from Airtel, but his mobile phone is switched off. Without exageration, I have probably made more than 50 calls so far, without success.

WHAT IS HAPPENING AIRTEL ? Why is your customer service so poor ? I am now thinking of switching my service to some other Provider. This is probably the reason that Airtel's revenue is going down !!

Frustrated customers,
Bopanna

MY AIRTEL DTH SET-TOP BOX STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY. THE COMPLAINT LODGED WITH CUSTOMER CARE TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ENGINEER FROM AIRTEL VISITED MY HOME AND WITH OUT ANY EXPLANATION ASKED US TO BUY NEW ONE. HE MENTIONED CHARGES OF >1000/- Rs WITH 3 MONTHS WARRANTY AND ALSO ASKED US TO RETURN THE CURRENT BOX.

I WANT AIRTEL TO CLARIFY THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS MADE BUY YOUR EMPLOYEES (CUSTOMER CARE/SERVICE ENGINEER/AREA MANAGER etc):

1. How does AIRTEL have the ownership of set-top box after charging the customer with full market value of set-top box?
2. Why AIRTEL does not take ownership of faulty set-top boxes and their maintenance?
3. Why AIRTEL supplying set-top boxes with 3 months warranty? Why customer forced to accept such vulnerable boxes?
4. What does AIRTEL do with the set-top boxes collected upon DTH disconnection?
5. Why I am charged with new box price (>1000) when I am provided with used set-top box?

Please listen to recent call data on this customer ID for further clarification.

This is very very unfair business AIRTEL is doing with its customer. Please look into the issue and refund my money without any further delay.

THANK YOU.

Sir,

I am extremely sorry to say that your company & your people are unable to restore my Airtel service

in its normal way on following facts.

1. That it is the case of my Managing Director home telephone ( along with Internet )

being earlier used at E 64, vasant marg, Vasant Vihar , New Delhi

2. He has changed his residence near by to 43, Poorvi Marg, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi

3. Your people are unable to restore service for the reason that there is no airtel wiring

4. I am surprised that Poorvi Marg is very posh zone of Delhi and your facility is not there.

Also your people are saying that new connection can be given in a week but shifting is not possible.

5. Since, wiring is not there , then how I can ask you to increase service capacity by 80 GB

6. I hope you will resolve the matter at the earliest and shall not put pressure on us to adopt alternative telecom.

7. Please direct your people to contact me at the following number and address:

My name is Pavan and my mobile number is [protected].

I have submitted documents for MNP (from Docomo to Airtel) on 10th Oct, 2012.

Yesterday (16th Oct, 2012), I have received SMS saying "Namaste! Request validated by Donot and Porting Time:[protected]:13:00:063".

So, changed my SIM card at that time and AIRTEL SIM is working. I am able to received incoming calls and not able to make any outgoing calls.

I have called customer care and shocked with their response. They said, it will take 7 days to activate outgoing calls. What the hell? They want customer to carry phone without able to make outing calls for 7 days. This is how they treat customer coming from other network.

Please help me in resolving this issue.

Sir, I have subscribed to airtel virus annual pack and it was expired and they have charged Rs.750/- for renewal for the next one year. I have asked your technical support to stop the service and naturally I need to pay my
bill less Rs.750/-. If you want me to continue for one year for this Rs.750/- pl allow me to continue the same.
I told your people who have disconnected the virus pack and want me to pay Rs.750 also which is highly
unjustifiable. Please either you allow me to pay my bill less Rs.750/- or allow me to have the virus pack for the next one year.

Dear Sir,

Good Evening,

Sir, I am Mehul Parkhiya a Customer of Airtel Gujarat with Mobile No. [protected] since 19/07/2012, I am a Government Employee of P.G.V.C.L. ( Electricity Company ) at Jasdan-360050 Dist. Rajkot, State Gujarat

On 16/10/2012 Airtel company has disconnect my mobile Incoming & Outgoing service on just a fake request of lost Sim Card and due to this one Government employee is about to suspend from his job.


The whole case was start before a week , Airtel retailer or distributor of Rajkot Mr. Ankit Kotecha whose mobile number is [protected] has visited my local PGVCL Office for the query of his relative and ask me why his ( his relative's ) Electricity bill is high so i solve his query and told him to pay as per government rule , but he request me to less the bill amount which was not possible as i am a honest employee of my government company, so he gave me threat that if i will not make bill amount less then he will disconnect my mobile service when i need it ( he knows that this time in gujarat is under ACHAR SAMHITA and all we government employee should on their cellular card for 24 hours emergency ) and that will effect on your job ( this all was in front of my colleagues ) , so I told him that i am a regular customer of airtel mobile service and pay my mobile bill regularly before due date so that company never disconnect my mobile service, so he told me that there are many ways to disconnect the mobile service and you 300 to 500 Rs. customers don't know us.

So i already complaint about it on 121 Customer Care with reference id No. [protected] on 10/10/2012 that please don't disconnect my mobile service without any confirmation with me on call due to threat by your retailer and as I am a government employee and due to this I should lost my valuable job, so he also agree with me and told "Sir , Our company never disconnect your service if you pay your mobile bill on time , and if regarding any other reason we have to disconnect your service then we will call you before do it"

But today approx 12:15 to 12:30 PM when i have to call on my S.S. to stop the power it says "This Numbers' Call Service is Temporary Unavailabe" so I thought that his mobile number is in problem so i tried it 3 to 4 times and I check my mobile and found it with Stop Service , So I call to 121 and ask him why they disconnect my service so she check and told me that your simcard is lost so as per our retailer's request we disconnect your service so I told her whole the case and ask her to transfer the call to Senior Executive so she transfered me to there but I was surprised that Airtel executive told me that they don't do anything if their retailer make a fake request ( which he threat before ) and you disturb.

So I Want to file this case against AIRTEL , and I also send a message to porting myself and my colleagues From Airtel to Idea.

I just sent this mail to check Airtel company policy which is completely against government and doing the work which is Intercept to Government DUTY and government work.

I want my air tell no. call,SMS and browsing detail as soon as possible my number is [protected]

complaint for telephone/broadband no.[protected]

we are using this connection for more the 3 years and never defaulted in our payments, but in the month of April, we request the service provider airtel to disconnect the connection with the immediate effect as we were getting better plans from other service providers, after long discussion the service provider offered us a plan redemession plan, which is a special plan given to only retain the customers. which we agreed and retain the connection, and used the connection thinking that i was in the plan offered to me we used the facility that to a minimum.

but by the end of may or 1st week of june we received a call from airtel saying that they cannot give us the promise plan.

so immediately we requested them to disconnect the connection as they are not keeping their promises made. which they did after taking their own time..

after disconnection they started to call us when ever they like and demand and threaten us to make full payment.

which was not proper so we said unless the issue is been settled us per the your commitment we will not be able to make any payments.

and now they have called and said that they are going to court... so i request you to kindly register a case against them and provide justice to a genie consumer

Sir, Today I got a missed call from +[protected]. Mistaking it to be a mobile no. I called back to that no. To much surprise, he mentioned that he was calling Airtel Head office stating that I won some 25 Lakhs of lottery and told me to contact another no which I couldn't save... When I dropped the call and checked the number, then I found that it was actually from Pakistan.. I request you to kindly look into these fraudulent calls and try to block them.

Regards
Azeez

Hi,

Subject: Complaint against poor customer service – Airtel

This is to inform you that I (Rejesh George) residing in Kakkanad, Ernakulam had taken an Airtel Prepaid connection in August 2011 from Idukki, Adimaly Airtel office. I used the connection till June 2012.
In the month of July, due to a short visit outside India, I stopped using this connection. I came back to Ernakulam this month (October 2012). When I tried using my Airtel connection, I got message that the SIM registration failed.

On the same day, I contacted customer care and got info that due to non-usage of the connection for 3 months, it got discontinued. On their advise, I took all the necessary documents, and cash and visited the nearby Airtel office (Chembumukku, Ernakulam) for renewing the registration.

They gave me new SIM card and assured that the connection will be reset with the same mobile number within two working days. Just to assure myself, I contacted customer care to check the status of the renewal, and was shocked to hear that the same number has already activated for some other customer.

I was always a loyal customer to Airtel- thought this is one of the best-prepaid brands in India. This kind of irresponsible and improper service has made me to think to opt for another Brand.

I am very disappointed with the service. I took leave from my busy work schedule and took all the pain in calling the customer care, visiting the branch personally – only for getting that old mobile number. Atlast, the service & the outcome from Airtel was not at all satisfactory.

Please give me explanation why this kind of irresponsible service was rendered from Airtel.

I need my own number ([protected], Simcard Number: -[protected]) back at any cost. Airtel had assured me that this number will be activated. Hopes should not be broken. This is an important message, accord priority.

Regards
Rejesh George

Hi,

My cell phone number is [protected]. I have activated Airtel Money Account in the same connection and had submitted my documents in the Airtel Relationship Center , Madhapur , Hyderabad. They charged me instantly with 100/- cash as processing fees which I had to pay. Later again 50/- got deducted from my Airtel Money Account. Two weeks have gone by and when I tried to do one transaction they are telling me " No KYC Customer " , I tried to reach out the airtel customer care who very sadly are not much conversant in english and are trying to convonce me something or the other in Telegu which I am struggling to understand. Finally , I got the point that they want me to resubmit my documents and I did the same at the same Relationship Center , Madhapur. Please help.
