Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

My name is Sandeep Yadav, resident of Ghaziabad (U.P).
For the past 2-3 days I'm geetting calls from different caller's from some place in Mumbai (ascertain this by the STD code).
Today I got one call from Chembur (caller told me the palce).

The problem here is that the caller's are alleging that obscene calls/ SMS's are being made/send to some number. (not even sure about the number) from [protected]( which is my number)

But for last 2 days I've not even made a single call from my number ([protected]).

As far as SMS's are concerned I've not send any sms from [protected] for a long time.

Could you please let me know if my number is being misused.

Really apprecitae your help on this.

Thanks,
Sandeep Yadav

I was using Airtel broadband connection in Delhi whose number was[protected]. I have shifted from Delhi to Gurgaon on 1st December. So have raised the disconnection request on 28th November and have paid bill on 4th December. But airtel shifted my connection from Delhi to Gurgaon on 18th December with new number[protected], Now I am using this since last 3 months and continuously paying the bill of Gurgaon number. Now I have seen that they have not disconnected the old number of Delhi even though it is shifting process. How is it possible to have one person shifted to other location and still using the old one? If it is shifting the older number should automatically gets disconnected. Now I am getting call from Airtel to pay remaining bills of old delhi number. I have asked to Customer care, they told that there is no usage of Delhi number since Dec 2010. So I am not using this Delhi number and using Gurgaon number and paying bills here, so why not Airtel is looking into that and why are they irritating me? I am frustated with services of Airtel. This is fault with people over there. I have not expected such kind of thing from a giant organization.

Hello,

I am deeply hurt and frustrated to tell you my worst experience with Airtel and your associate
-- Mr. Umesh, 'X' Squire Communications (P) Ltd, 14, Second Line Beach, Parrys, Chennai- 600001.

We had given a Port out request in the first week of Feb. when MNP was introduced in Chennai. We had 3 Mobile numbers from Airtel which we wanted to port to Vodafone for the Corporate CUG purpose.

According to what i read in the newspapers it should have taken 7 working days and on the 7th working day the network services will not be available for some time and the port out condition will be fulfilled. But sadly which was not the case for me. The 3rd number which is ([protected]) which is used by me from more than 8 years now was disconnected the very next day from Airtel after sending the MNP request. When i got in touch with Mr. Umesh he was rude and arrogant to reply to my simple quires about why was the number disconnected. Later that week Vodafone employees told me 1) Airtel has rejected the Porting request because the number is less than 3 months old. After some time i had to go to the Airtel office and personally show them last 6 months bills which were present with me. Please note the number is still not activated and as this is my official number from 8 years i had been loosing many business calls. 2) In the end of the 1st week i get a call from Airtel to clear all the "Un-Billed Amt." which according to the law should be paid on the billing cycle date. Note: the number is still not active. Mean while i had called Mr. Umesh several number of times to indicate about the loose of business which he always ignored and answered rudely to just put things worst. 3) Even after paying all the unbilled amt. still the number was not ported out. Later when i called Airtel service they tel me your number has been requested to change to "Pre Paid" whose request was never sent from me. And now when i am trying to call Airtel or Mr. Umesh who is Airtel's representative number ones bother to answer.

I would just like to ask who will pay for my loose of business from 45 days and its still counting. I want to make an appeal and a request for at least giving my mobile number back and letting to port to Vodafone as i will never never think about Airtel after this harassment.

Dear Team,

This is to convey you that becoz of your misrepresentation lots of people are being forcefully charged & i am one of them.

I have requested for your GPRS-98 pack via *567# on 18/02/11 & after that i have received a call from your executive on 19/02/11 that my internet has been activated. For activation i have requested internet settings via SMS MO to 543210 on 19/02/11. After that i have started using internet on my mobile. I was freely using my internet as it was known to me that i have 2GB to be used free of cost under GPRS-98 pack.

I was shocked to check my mobile bill that was received on my mail on 07/03/11 as the bill (Rs. 5487.21) was much-much more as per my expectation. I called customer care & complained the same vide complaint no.[protected]. After that i received a call from your executive on 10/03/11 stating that charges levied are correct & when i asked for the clarification then your executive stated that you have used your internet connection via Airtel live.

I want to clear that i have used my internet connection via selecting Mobile office & not Airtel live (If Airtel live is picked by default how could i get to know about the same), Moreover you have not mentioned anywhere on your Airtel site (www.airtel.in) that under GPRS-98 pack user are not authorize to use Airtel live, neither your executives while making activation call to customers state that this 2GB download is not applicable on Airtel live.

Also credit limit on my mobile no.-[protected] is Rs.1200/- & if my bill was exceeding this limit at any point of time why my services was not barred / not informed me about the same.my used bill amount Rs.172/-

Kindly do needfully

To the Senior Manager/Director of Airtel Service Provider

Dear Sir/Madam,

With regards to the Airtel Customer Service contact no# 121 from any airtel mobile is applicable to all your airtel using customers. But unfortunately, I am one of the airtel prepaid subscriber from past one month i am unable to connect to your airtel customercare number. This is very disappointing for one of your subscribers. Since airtel being a good customer service provider this has become a major drawback in your service. So I would like to register a complaint for this and request to take strict action against this for not providing proper service to customer. Even after visiting your airtel branches in different areas of Bangalore, no proper response given. So please check and revert with feedback for the same at the earliest.

hi,
i am a user of airtel internet connection. my connection was debarred from airtel for 2 months and they are asking me to pay for that two months,which they didn't provided me services. i did complain them many times for that but they always had the same answer,"maim, that is your mistake."
my airtel account number is 15644335. they are not having any kind of my complaining data and they have wrong data related to my internet.they are misleading me to provide informations.

Dear's

I am holder of DTH connection with customer ID [protected], I had purchased this Airtel DTH connection in Dec' 2008 for which I had tried to get it activated and had run every piller to post, The package come with three month free subscribtion which I was not able to utilize as customer care service engineer could not able to help me to get the connection activated. I had even Launched a complaint and service engineer did visit at my residence but could not able to start the service. I have the activation voucher and the Customer relationship form to supoort.
I did approched Airtel to get DTH re- activated in July'10, I have 15
e-mails and Phone calls to nodel officer to support my complaint..
Still after three years I am still trying to get the connection re-activated for which I have been informed by the customer care that Customer ID [protected] has expired and I have to purchase a new DTH connection along with the BOX. this is impossible to digest, if I have the BOX and the Dish we only need to activate the SIM card for the re-activation. I have visited even your Dealer for which I got the same response.

why do I need to Purchase a new connection i.e. Dish & the setup Box which I already have with me. Your records still have my customer ID and I can't it understand why it cannot be re-activated.

I just want to make a point if I would have provided better service earlier I would have not reached this position.

Hope to get your response,

Regards

Hi Airtel customer care,
1) I got an SMS from AD-54321 saying "Thanks for downloading java game, and you are charged 30/-", and then onwards I'm getting SMS also with cricket updates.
What I wonder is, I never sent any sms or link to activate this service. THese sms are charged also.

Please deactivate this at the earliest.

2) I got one more SMS saying "Thanks for downloading hangama gclub.., and you are charged 99/-". I do know what this is and why this has got activated for me. Also there was nothing related got downloaded to my mobile either.

Please resolve this problem.

Thanks

Airtel is deducting Rs.2 daily in the name of Picture MMS alerts. They are sending very offensive pictures daily to my inbox. When we contacted customer care they are saying we have subscribed for this service which we haven't. Thrice we gave request to stop this and still they are deducting the Rs 2. Please stop this asap.

Hello All!

Airtel Sucks!

I am a totally frustrated customer of Airtel [Mobile Service Provider Company].
This is the second time I am lodging complaints against Airtel just after 3 weeks when I lodged the first complaint against Airtel.
Instead of rectifying their Unfair Trade practices, Airtel [India] keep on continuing their UNFAIR/CHEATING/FRAUDULENT/HARRASSING trade practices toward its customers.

1. Airtel keep on sending me 20-30 SMS everyday for the boring Cricket World Cup thus disturbing me all the time & wasting my time to delete all those trash SMS and keep on charging me for it everyday and this they are doing without prior information or permission from me [user] to do so, a clear violation o[censored]ser's privacy & choice of service.

2. On 12 March 2011, my Airtel balance of Rs.96 suddenly disappeared and I contacted the Airtel Customer Care but they cannot explain how the amount was deducted from my balance without any reason and without any prior information.

3. On 13 March 2011, I recharged with Rs.100 and contacted the Airtel Customer Care to allow me use the 3GB internet offer for Rs.60, yes, they deducted the amount instantly but I could not use the offer, than, a few minutes later I could connect to internet for about 5 minutes then to my surprise again my balance gone down to zero! How, they deducted the amount & why, no reason, no information :(

I contacted the Airtel Customer Care but no corrective steps are taken up and no explanations given and at the same time they keep on stealing whatever balance I have on the mobile. So, it is now clearly confirmed that Airtel is run by a bunch of thieves who steal/cheat user's hard earned money with false offers or abusive trade practices.

From these above three incidents, by now, it is beyond my tolerance about the nonsense Airtel keep on doing to me [user].
Having lodging these complaint to the concerned internet forums, I have no other choice but stop using Airtel mobile services from now onwards.

Sincerely Yours,
Mr.naorem Gajendra Singh
