Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

I have been having problems with unusually high billing from Airtel in the past few months.
I used to be on a 15 GB /month plan and used to download large files once in a while and never exceed my limits.
But since the last year or so since I upgraded to a 30GB/ month plan, my limits seem to be consistently getting exhausted extremely quickly.

It would be great if all the broadband provider are mandated to provide a live billing meter to give an idea to the consumer the quantum of data consumption. This is currently only provided on the website and the data is is a day old.

Secondly, there should be a way to measure if the billing itself is done correctly. At the moment, we do not have a reference point and have to go by what the service provider shows with no way of validating the. For example, how can I be sure that a 4 MB download is not accounted for a 8 MB in the system.

Lastly, Airtel used to provide good service earlier. Now they have failed to respond to my query even though it was raised 3 week ago.

I am airtel prepaid mobile customer mobile no [protected].The service provider without my consent started service called aarti without my consent .
As usual they have started deducting money from my account.Airtel people are number one to do this type of acts among all service providers.My request to authorities to take action against person responsible and refund the money already deducted and stop deducting money from my account

i want to airtel prepaid call details for last three months(mar,apr,may)
my mobile no [protected]

Hi,
I am using airtel prepaid new connection for the past 6 months, I used to recharge for full-talk time around Rs, 300 once in two/three months. last month they subscribed me a value added service and taking 1 rupee/day, actually I am not interested in this subscription I tried cancelling the subscription through the procedure provided by airtel. but it is not get cancelled, I also tried this procedure through mobile recharge retailer but it is not
get cancelled then I planned to change network and applied to the retailer they told me that my the network will change in 5 days still my network has not changed after 12 days.

This makes me mentally frustrating, Its like steeling our money and making the people mad, our government has no control over this company policies
or there is no enough bill to stop this fraud

I added i-darshan channel online twice, iut started showing on my online account both times, money got deducted both times but the channel has not been added. First time I did around 20 days back, kept it for around a week, money got deducted but the channel was not added so i removed the channel. I again added it on saturday, again it showed on my account, again got charged but wasnt added again. I called your customer service yesterday who took a lot of time before hanging up on me as she was not able to resolve it. She was totally unprofessional and dint had any knowledge. I called you on the paid line to make sure that you might resolve it faster but after around 17 mins all i got was a totally unprofessional behaviour from your customer service. The rep dint had any clue what she had to do as she kept placing me on hold and finally disconnected the call.
I want to ask you is this the reason that you have customer service facility for, so that you can annoy people??
I want the channel to be added asap and to get refunded for the charges that i am paying for the service not recieved as the channel hasnt been added as yet.
The customer id is [protected].

I had requested for an Airtel DTH connection at my below flat address, by paying Rs.1440/- on 06th Sept 2011.

T24, Flat No. 601, Amanora, Hadapsar, Pune – 411013.
Product Id is 8025

On 23rd Sept, 2011, I received an email from airtel.[protected]@vriti.com stating that installation is not possible in my area due to "signal problem" and that they have put my case in refund process.

Even after repeated reminders, I have not received the refund.

I upgraded my broadband plan to 30 GB limit because I was exceeding the data limit when I had the 20 GB plan
Said the Airtel executives & recently my desktop was not functional for a month or so and all I was using was an iPad , iPhone on wifi... Very light usage & I got the email as usual from Airtel saying I've exceeded 80% data usage and after 2 days it's 100% ... The same happened this month where all I do is check mails, Facebook, watch YouTube. On 25th May 2012 I exceeded my so called data usage of 80 % and on Monday 28th may I exceeded 100%... So I used 6 GB in 3 days. They are just cyber thieves stealing from there innocent customers... Who does that?? It's really demeaning & shocking as well... It's happening with me for the 6th time
I really want the appropriate authorities to take some strict action against these petty thieves who just can't get enought off all the money they possess.

Hi,
Today i got one message from Airtel in 13.51. Thank you for choosing RE1_IPLAYER on your airtel mobile. you have been charged Rs.1.0 for 1 days. After the saw message i call to customer care first 5 minutes some songs is came after that connected with customer care excutive Sangeetha so i told to her madam can u explain me what is the iplayer and who is activated so she tell me ok wait and again she connected with me after 2 to 3 minutes and she told me i am using internet browsing and activated trough my side so i tell to her my phone is old style mobile and i dont have a internet option so can u tell me how can i activated to this service so she told me i dont know but in my screen show this one only afterthat i told to her this is not first time why airtel activate to this type of services so immediately she disconnected the phone i cannot understand customers are stupid or what what she is thinking customers is fools so i request to take the action to htat excutive and in feature dont activate to this type of services. really i can't understand still now how without internet option handset mobile how to browsing internet can any airtel customercare or customer support staff to tell me.

My new sim worked for one weak and barded within one weak.....they said submission of documents should be done again, thats why i have submitted my original certificated and photos to the seller two time, But this also doesnt work and my all certificates and photos are wasted, they said it was rejected by kolkata region,...my number is [protected]

I'm an airtel Prepaid Customer ([protected]) and I have recharged (top-up recharge) for Rs. 200.

As per the recharge denomination mentioned in your website (https://pay.airtel.com/PrepaidOnlineRecharge/mobileRecharge.jsp), I should be getting a talktime of Rs. 200 (Please refer to the bottom of the attached image in which your website mentions that Recharge of 200 would get talktime of 200)

But, I have received the talktime of Rs. 175 only, credited to my airtel prepaid mobile number +91-[protected].

It is very disgusting that a concern like airtel is trying to cheat its customers.

Please do the necessary steps to credit back the remaining amount 25 to my airtel prepaid mobile number.

If not, I would be moving legally against airtel for cheating me.

Airtel service sucks and they are just to frustrate their customers. I have one data card with CUG connection#[protected] and asked for plan change then got a response that the said plan is not available and they suggested new plan then I again asked to activate current available plan and got another foolish reply that this plan is not available and the old plan is available now. Again when I asked to activate that plan then they replied that these plans are not available and their executive responded by mistake. Now after 15 days I'm still unable to change my plan. Really frustated with Airtel's service. Not only with data card but also with my other numbers and DTH. Now I want to leave their sucking network and want to move to new service provider.


See the mail thread for their foolish response and now they stopped responding anything.....:(


That’s my personal e-mail ID and correct ID is sanjay.[protected]@ymail.com not gmail account as mentioned by you. All your team sucks including the marketing person who filled incorrect e-mail ID on application form. I’m sending e-mail from sanjay.[protected]@ymail.com separately to change my plan and do not behave silly any more.

Yes confirmed, please activate 750 5 GB free data plan without wasting further
time.





Moreover please mind your statements while replying to customer as initially
when I asked for this 750 Rental 5GB plan then you responded that plan is not
available and given me option for 4 GB plan. Again you are contradicting your
words. Go through threads and see where you are wrong.

My airtel No is [protected] .I have recharged Rs 45 3G pack for 150 MB, but I am getting 2G speed below 100kbps. I called CC many times but they are unable to resolve it. I am using GPRS in last 4 years and using 3G in last 1 year both IDEA and Airtel. My handset is Nokia C5. I used the sim in both C5 and Micromax USB modem. I selected UMTS/WCDMA only with IDEA network. But still no speed. Airtel is cheating me.

At STATE BANK OF INDIA, RACPC, 1ST FLOOR, MAIN BRANCH BUILDING, FOUNTAIN CHOWK, LUDHIANA, a broadband/dsl service is installed at No.[protected]. Only sms is received on mobile and neither hard copy of the bill is sent nor its copy is received on our e-mail. It is not possible for us to pay the Official bills without receipt of bills. Due to which service is sometimes disrupted, which creates problems. Airtel has sent us sms for payment of Rs.1796.02 on 24.05.2012. We want to pay it immediately. But we require bill for making its payment. Please help.

I received an international call to my airtel mobile number from[protected] on 25 May 2012 at 09:49 am. I missed the call and I was curious to know the country of origin. So I googled and found there were many complaints made about this number starting 923..... Since my number is definitely not having any international friends, I come to understand that this international call must be for a fraudulent purpose.

dear sir/madam
i have posted one complain in airtel.in/airtelpresence.this is my reference id PR[protected].but i have done one mistake i gave the customer name as SHILPA SOHARU.but it is on my dad's name RAKESH KUMAR SOHARU.so please take care of that.here is the complain that i have posted there-

[dear sir/madam

Hi

I have requested for re-activation of my connection by request number 15610876, the date given to complete the request was 18th may.After following up each day(EVEN TALKED TO FLOOR MANAGER at customer care) ....BUT no update is been given & was asked to wait till the date assigned. I waited tilll the date BUT there was only a single call of confirmation for re-activation of the connection. The request is been FALSELY Closed by saying that the confirmation call is NOT been picked-up.

Again, I lodged a complain by number 16101682,of which closing date is assigned as 24th May.But, NO ACTION, ONLY confirmation calls.I called up customer care again talked to floor supervisor...who assured me to get the connection within 3 days,which is the procedure. Again ONLY confirmation calls made.
NO ACTION.

Still waiting for connection.

AIRTEL should be BANNED OUT for frauding Customer.I am highly upset, some compensation should be given for such a MENTAL TRAUMA

Regards
Shuchita
