Airtel Complaints & Reviews

i went to Airtel Landline Showroom (Jaysoft) in II Avenue, Anna Nagar & enquired about broadband. I wanted them to check feasibility in my area before taking the application. They said it is feasible & took the application, ID proof, address proof & installation charges of 650/= (cheque). After a few days, when I contacted them in the Jaysoft Anna Nagar office, they say it is not possible to give the connection and asked me to contact the customer care to request for cancellation. Why is Airtel not verifying feasibility taking up the application? When I called the customer care I came to know that my name has been wrongly registered at their end. In spite of giving ID proof, the name has been entered wrongly. What is the use of giving ID Proof & the application. I gave requests for change in name to get the refund cheque in correct name. In the meanwhile, they had realised my cheque & got the money. It is nearly 2 months since I applied & still I haven't got the refund. Though the customer care accept requests, they immediately set it to closed without giving actual resolution. My name is not set correct so far also I didn't get the refund. Whenever we call the hotline number, there is no proper response from the team.

The airtel hotline is only accessible only from limited places & every time I go to the Anna Nagar showroom, there is a big queue & each customer on the phone having heated up conversation with the customer care.c

I was using Airtel iptv connection , later i decided to cancel Iptv because picture quality and iptv service was real bad from the standard of Airtel . I raised a request for cancellation of iptv and change of plan to broadband and internet only .they gave me 7 days to sort the problem..after that it took 2 months to cancel my iptv . I have called customer service number of times and mailed them number of times .every time they used to tell that my request is on priority.Days passed away , we were paying for iptv even though we were not using that . I have already taken tata sky connection.After cancelling iptv i came to know that my phone will be disconnected and i will not be using internet until and unless they reactivate my airtel landline number[protected] . I have applied for reactivation,their Representative came and colelcted the form and told me that it will get activated within 2 days ...Almost 1 month passed from then and there is no response from their side.i have called them number of times and mailed them also .they used to say that my request is on priority .My request number is 5502926 .I am frustated now ,my net is not working and i am not able to work.My phone is not working ..Every time they used to make some excuses and say that request is on priority ..problem is with back end ..what the hell i have to do with them ...We pay them and they provide us service and infact airtel charges more than others just in name of service..But such a pathetic response..its really irritating...

On 26th of September , I availed Airtel Broadband services with Landline number :[protected] . Till now , 28th October 2011 , my Broadband Wifi connection hasn't been activated by Airtel & My profile hasn't been created in their database . I registered my complaints many a times on Customer Care department but they never resolved my compliant and closed my unresolved compliant without solving it. I am staying in a posh locality in Noida which is Sector 19 where Service providers fight to grab a connection. I have lost my Business in lakhs . I request all the business owners to avail services from some other service provider other than Airtel.

Dear Sir,

I was using Airtel DTH HD set top box for my TV connection since 2010 August. The set top box is not working from 13th October 2011, and I had tried to contact Airtel call centre on[protected]. It was always gone through IVR system and couldn't speak with any one. Finally I wrote a mail to their customer service mail id regarding the same on 19th Oct 2011. I have received complaint registered No.12815574.Then no one was attended my complaint, still they sent SMS saying your complaint has being resolved and still you have any issue you may contact on [protected]. I have called on this number, one man took the call and I have explained the details. His response was he is not responsible for any complaint rectification and disconnected the call.

Again I have forwarded the mail to the same customer service ID. same thing is happening every time.

Finally, on 25th Oct-11 7:30 pm I got a call from their service personal and he said he will be attending the complaint same day before 10:00 pm. but no one was attended. Then I have called on that No [protected], his replay was he will attend on next day before 12:00 noon. same way nobody was neither call me nor attended.

The last statement was they don't have HD set top box stock, you will get it when the stock arrive and for replacement with a cost of Rs 750.00.

Now the holidays for children and TV is not working, so I have requested them to resolve as early as possible.

what should I do, Pls help me.

Hello,

I have been getting calls from [protected] on odd hours that are always missed calls as they just ring once or twice. Today I did receive it but there was no voice from the other side hence not aware of the reason why I am getting the calls. Kindly investigate before it may put me in trouble in the way of someone using my sim to make calls.

Concerned subscriber
Hrishi.

My number is [protected].Today[protected] i recharged with 35 rs.for airtel internet(500 mb/6days) and i got the confirmation message also.but each time when i access internet my balance getting deducted (the airtel internet pack did not activated) .I contacted 121 and they said to call 198 but they told there is no 35 rs internet pack.when i asked to reimburse the money which i charged they said it is not possible.

Sir,
This is bring into your kind notice that, today i had very bad experiance from your collection agent,
i dont know his name and his mobile no is [protected] . today morning he called me and shouted with using very dirty low end words , i didnt expect this type of collection procedures from the company like Airtel,

some days before call center persons inform me about the outstanding bill( mobile no: [protected] ) and i was arranged to pay the biil by easy recharge at kollengode palakkad dist, but the dealer who is friend of me told that he doesnt have enough balance to charge so he will charge for rs 1000 and remining will be charged by comming days,
then i go to thirupathy for the pillgrame when i came back actually i forgot to inform my dealer to recharge the balance because iam using another number. The aitel number which i used only for the standby purpose and normally my another mobile number bill comes arround Rs 2000 to 25000 . so i was uncared about your 500 to 800rs bills.
Most of my airtell bill was computedly paid after two or three months,but no bill is unpaid, that you may check on your systems
On today morning the agent called me and said that, he thought that iam a gentelman and now he understand im not and misbehaved me , that time i said to dont call me again im not interested to talk with him. mean while he used the very dirty words and he said he knows how to collcet money
i dont know, is this is the collection procedure of airtel mobile, if not please inform the status at the ealiest otherwise iam pressured to complaint to police dept: as well as to the consumer forum towards the agent and the company

Dear sir/ma'am
I am a user of airtel number which is [protected]. I have applied for MNP in august after which i received a call from the airtel executives. I didn't migrated to another network because they offered me 10p/min local airtel to airtel for 6 months which was feasible for me so i agreed to their offer.
But after sometime my few local airtel calls were charged .5p/sec which was not according to the commitment made by them. I made my first complaint regarding this on 4th sept for and they promised me a call back within 48 hours which i didnt get so i again complained on 8th sept to manish and i was informed that my complaint wasnt registered and now he said it is now noted down with the complaint reference number CWRCH[protected] and i was again told that a call back will be arranged in 72 hours but nothing happened.

So i again complained to an executive Jitendra with reference number CBNRA[protected] on 17th Sept and he said he'll definitely get me a call back within a day but he didn't do it.
Then i did that again to Virender with reference number CMBNR[protected] on 21st Sept and again the same things happened.
So i thought of complaining now to higher authority of my zone, the Appellate officer o[censored]P west zone.
I got the number from the website which was +[protected]. I called that number and i got the message this number doesn't exist.How come they have put wrong information on the net.
That is a very big irresponsibility by them.
I tried many times but i got the same information.
So with no other option left i had to complain to the Appellate officer of Delhi zone. I made a call on 25th Sept and i kept my prob in front of them and they promised me a call back within 5 hours but they didn't do. After 5 hours i made a call again then they asked for 2 hours but of no use and by that time it was 6pm so i had to stop.
Next day i again called up and told them what they did to me so the officer forwarded my call to the UP west zone appellate officer Arpit.
Up till this date my problem of wrong deduction was continuing. I told him everything i faced and he said that the wrong deduction is due to the night pack and its not wrong.
He said for 24*7 you will be charged 10p/min but since you have activated the night pack on your number which gives you 5p/min and in the transition state of both the pack its obvious that you will be charged .5p/min and its logical.
i told him if anyone on this earth says that its logical and understood i will take my complaint back and if this has to be there why wasn't i informed when i was given this scheme and even i asked whether there are any conditions in this pack and i got the reply no....
And still if this what is by the company why wasn't I told when i contacted so many times to the customer care??
He agreed with me that it isn't logical so he forwarded my complaint and asked me 48 hours more time and i agreed.
But till date i haven't received any call back and even more than 165 Rs has been deducted and more than 25 Rs has been wasted on calling to Appellate officers.
So i again applied to MNP and i again got a call from them few days back and i told them about my problem and he gave me a silly reason that since i was using promo balance at that time when i got my balance deducted so i told him that i every time use the promo balance. I never get my number recharged with the main balance so why doesn't it happen always.
i don't how such responsibilities can be done by such a big company. a lot of my time and money is wasted on all this. Its almost 2 months over and still nothing impressive has happened so far. So i will look forward for a good and strict decision plus a handsome compensation for all this.They treated me very badly when i tried to contact them.Their customer care executives are good for nothing they don't even know how to interact with the customer.
I sincerely request you to please have a look at it and take a decision as soon as possible. I will be highly thankful to you.
yours truly

Dear sir/madam
I have been using your service (Airtel mobile, Assam) for last 5 years, but from the last 3 months money have been continuously deducted from my account for unwanted value added service, which was automatically updated to my number ([protected]) without any prior notification. Previously couple of times I had given complains to your customer service adjectives by mailing and over telephone, but still do not get any comprehensive solution. Sir I need your bold step towards the problem, otherwise I would stop your service very soon.
Yours Faithfully
