Airtel Complaints & Reviews

I have a complaint regarding VAS charges deducted from my father's post paid mobile connection ([protected]) active in Kurukshetra Haryana on his name (Dr. S.K.Sharma). It has been 6 months now and the charges of Rs99/- are put everymonth in mobile bill.

My father has called up many times to customer service to unsubscribe this service. he even visited airtel office of Kurukshetra but of no avail. Such is the height o[censored]nprofessionalism that nobody from airtel has ever called up to listen to the grievence.
Looks like we would need to look for other alternatives.

Thanks

In todays era if anyone can show as to how to turn off a customer by customer service, I believe Airtel would be no 1.

For even a small problem, you need to call the pune center several times, give the same story at least to 200 different people...& in the end the Customer support officer will say...Sir I am sorry, but I cannot help you

God, If by chance you purchase the package & want to call call center for some Issue then I ld suggest that you forget the remaining money you have in package as most likely chances are that you ll end up spending the same ammount of money calling up call center.

I got Airtel Prepaid connection from an authorised vendor in Pune. From day one I am unable to receive SMS from overseas, and I lodged my complaint with Customer care 121 and sent an email to [protected]@airtelindia.com on 4th December. UNtil now my problem has not been solved and I have had no response to my email. Everyday I have been calling 121, and the staff there tell me that the problem will be solved within 24 hours. I and my contacts have been put to unnecessary expense, and in all fairness Airtel should compensate.

We have not received any mobile bill w.e.f. 23.10.2008 to till date 16.12.08.

although i submmited your all payment but now i cannot pay any payment without bill.

kindly request please provide our mobile on website my e-mail ID : harish.[protected]@rediffmail.com

thanks & regards,

Iwas assured that it was a technical fault at Delhi which would be rectified by 15th.morning.Unfortunately this was not so.I am a single lady and feel frustrated at the deteriorating sevices provided by Airtel.All my communications have to be enrouted through my Husband's mobile to my son.EVEN TODAY I HAD TO CALL MY HUSBAND TO PERSUE THE COMPLAINT TO YOUR CUSTOMER CARE THROUGH [protected] AT DELHI.HE DISCUSSED WITH YOUR MR.RAJESH AT 12-30PM WHERE HE WAS TOLD THAT THE INHERENT PROBLEM WAS WITH AIRTEL & WOULD BE CORRECTED ON 17TH.DECEMBER.Till such time I again have to continue communication with my son at TUMKUR through my husband's mobile [protected].THIS IS SHEER NONSENSE & SHALL TAKE THIS MATTER UP WITH THE HIGHER AUTHORITIES.
Yours Faithfully,

I have lost my airtel prepaid number. when i lost it, its balance was 381/-(INR).I complained to airtel customer care immediately after loosing it. Guy over phone told me, sir your Sim will be blocked within 4hrs. but i tried my phone after 24hrs, by that time my sim was activate, and person who was using it, kept doing the calls. i asked them who will be responsible if my number is misused then they told we do not know sir. Go to the airtel office and get one duplicate sim, then only your number will be disconnected.. i did the same, but at airtel office (lajpat nagar). first of all they don't have manners to talk. they treat customers as "Dog". and they told we don't have duplicate sim, come after 2 days. so even after 24hrs, they were not able to block my Sim. and they are not ready to help u for anything. Now after 3 days i got duplicate sim, but its been 24hrs, i have taken the Sim, and yet its not activated. so airtel services seems to be very poor these days. As i am using this airtel number from past two years, i am v much hurtled with airtel services. i suggest to everyone. please avoid airtel connections, and i[censored] wanna take, then forget that you will get any help from airtel customer care.

I need the detail of incoming and outgoing for the past 3 months.

airtel charging me campus to campus 20/sms & 1Rs/call

I had taken SIM card(phone no. [protected]) for my grandmother in October which was blocked, saying that we have not submitted the documents.For your kind information, we had submit documents twice to the retailer.If some miscommunication is there between you and retailer the why should customer suffer.Later, I personally went to Airtel office at Vega Center, Pune, with the documents, your staff was rude, unethical and non professional.They told me that SIM was recycled and that no. was given to someone else.
Being a law student form University of Pune, I request you to take the necessary action against the particular staff member and do something about my SIM otherwise, unwantedly I will have to approach Consumer Forum.

My e-mail ID is [protected]@yahoo.com, expecting your feedback.

I have a student plan SIM bought when I enrloled in to the Engineering college. I was told the GPRS service is available and I got a big recharge of Rs 600/- after sometime the validity of the SIM was expiring and I got the same recharged anticipating the recredit of the avialble Balance in the revalidated SIM.

I am at a loss to understand tha the services are restored withpout the balance available and no body clearly indicates the reason for the non recredit of the balnce.

If this is one case probably there may be many cases of cheating going unreported CAN I GET THE JUDICIOUS RECREDIT OF THE BALANCE AVAILABLE IN MY REVALIDATED SIM ON RECHARGING.

My son's prepaid located at Chennai was recharged by me at Devlali(Maharashtra) due to certain emergencies through easy recharge for Rs 333/-, but the talk time given was Rs 171.37 vide transaction ID No[protected] dated 14.12.08 at 5.55 PM. Tele No is [protected]. This is high time the cellular operator should put his house in order and give full talk time immediately.This may invite legal action if necessary.

Hi

I've complained to Airtel on 121 for registering a complaint that i'm getting the anonymous sales promotion SMS.

I got a response that it will be blocked as "Dont Disturb" service after 45 days.

I can understand this lead time for blocking for non-airtel messages. I dont understand on why Airtel cannot itself block their own sales promotion messages.

I'm getting at least 25 SMS per day on internet connectivity or something else even after this complaint 3 times.
