Airtel Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have been a customer to Airtel for the past 6 months. But every time I contact the customer service. I don't even get a proper response. Some of the representatives are even rude and not even care to answer my questions. Most of the time they don't even document our complaints and they don't even register it. Whenever I ask for a complaint number some incident number has been given which is not been followed or taken care of. And the Next time when I call again they could not find any records of my previous call, which makes me to lose the confidence in the customer care of airtel. I think this complaint reaches the right person and it will be taken care of. If not you will be losing customers.

Thanks and regards

Hi Rakesh Kumar,

Last one month i have sent three mail regarding this issue to his mail Id niranjan.[protected]@airtel.in even he not have simple courtesy to reply my mail. And his number is [protected].

As per our yesterday phone discussion wit Mr.Manoj he told that for prepaid to postpaid convention in H22 CUG 99(HCL PLAN) is possible ,but CUG among our Colleagues is not working in Chennai circle so u contact your SPOC who is in your office from airtel for convention your number okay….

Today I called to airtel customer exe Mr.Sujan he is come under Mr. Srinivasan Supervisor from Chennai he replied CUG among our Colleagues is possible, So my point is why people you are giving false information…….

Just now I contact Mr. Rajasekar airtel SPOC for My office he is come under Mr. Niranjan ASM [protected] from FLASH Agency Chennai ,He (Rajasekar) denied my new connection proposal and said my manager (Niranjan) surely rejected your proposal…..

I don’t know why Mr.Niranjan reject my favor , you & him are airtel employee but miscommunication between both…..Pls don’t send any default mail to me give correct feedback and I want to take airtel connection from that person (Rajasekar/ Niranjan) only….I never give up This issue…

(1) why airtel has done varification after one month?
(2)I have not receive any call such like that so on which bases thay bared the services?
(3)As they are everytime calling regularly to inform about there prompotional schemes, why they are not called again ?and verified again?. if some one may not received their call(please note i have not receive any call like this but this is on conditions mentions is sentance).
(4)what should be done with the recharged balance in sim card and schemes?

Hi,

I had lodged a Request # 392685 for shifting my AIRTEL IPTV/Broadband Connection within Gurgaon on 23rd November 2010 and made numerous calls to Airtel after that, but every time I get the same response that "we have forwarded your call to senior department", but this request in pending till date (30/11/2010). If somebody from AIRTEL reads this please let me know the time in which my connection will be shifted and whom to contact now to get the resolution.

Thanks
Ashu

I was accidentally subscribed to some service from Airtel Live called Weight Tracker on November 25. After that I am receiving daily messages saying that Rs 5 has been charged to my account. I spoke to several customer care executives and could not get any assurance of deactivation.
The last call I made on 26 November, Service Request Number 34727722 was generated and the executive Aditya said that I would not receive this message and that nothing was being charged to my account. However, I am still receiving the messages and in fact on November 27 I received TWO such messages.
I am afraid that I will be billed and would like this assurance from Airtel immediately. I am unable to get any sense out of the executives (and I am being charged for those calls as well).
Thank you,

Hi,

Sub:- Advance rental 699 for mobile no.([protected]) charged twicely.

I am using airtel connection from more than 2 years with same advance rental plan and advance rental for this year already paid and I didn't get any problem with it but from last 1 month it is really a very bad experience with airtel.
In Sep- 2010, I was in South Africa. My mobile and other stuffs were robbed there. So, I called from there to airtel customer care to block my number for prevent of missuse.
I came back to India on 30th OCT and after 2-3 days I went to airtel outlet in lajpat lagar and asked for duplicate SIM, they told me that it will activate in 4 hrs but it didn't activate at that time and then I received a call from airtel customer care that your no. is permanent disconnect .So, u need to submit your documents again and after 7 days it will be activated . I submit my documents and it activated in 7 days.
Now, I got my first bill with advance rental amount of 699(already paid in june or july 2010) which is ethically incorrect.If these are the conditions for an existing customer then I do not want to continue the connection and I am not ready to pay the advance rental

to whom ever it may concern.

my blackberry messenger and e-mails were deactivated from my cell. i have called Airtel BlackBerry support almost a 15 times and they do not have any answer or solution to my problem nor they are able to activate it. i have waiting since a week but my blackberry messenger is still not working. there is absolutely no support from Airtel and iam totally dissatisfied and i wish to change my connection as soon as possible just stuck because of the number.

i m getting msgs and phone calls from airtel regarding submission of documents for verification.I m using this number since 3-4 years.When i msg to 121 ARC<my pincode> to know nearest store .I get reply that this is an invalid pincode.i ve checkd my pin code and sent msgs again several times.I dont know where to submit my documents.

and Why they require my documents again after 4 years.

you are providing worst services my mobile number is [protected]
when some buddy call me most of the times it says " please check the number "
And this number never connect me on complaint number 198 it says " switched off "
several time I've been made complaint in terms of this problem on customer care 121, but I did not get any revert from air tel
now I'm just waiting for number portability.
in my opinion you can't run the company on these terms.

This is in regards to Airtel complaint # 39842132. I have applied for an IPTV connection on November 10, 2010 and this has been my worst experience with Airtel.

Below is the series of events that has happened on this connection till date:

1. Nov. 10 / 2010 – All formalities were completed by me.
2. Nov. 12 / 2010 – Form was submitted for installation. One day lag here by Airtel Sales Team.
3. Your sales person never answered to my calls after that to update on the status of my connection.
4. Nov. 15 / 2010 – Spoke to Manish Sharma (TSM). He Informed me today that due to some technical errors requested system cannot be installed at my place.

Airtel Sales should have checked the same before they sold this connection to me. Also, there has been no concrete update on my calls to Customer Care. I spoke to 10 different people from CC and I was given 10 different dates by them for the installation of my system. It’s not always about money, sometimes it’s about customer experience as well and Airtel it losing the same big time because of these issues. Apologies, however, I never expected this kind of Customer Service from a brand called Airtel.

I have filled in a request for the refund and nodal desk (Anoop and Paramjeet Kaur) has informed me, that same will be processed within 20 days. Would appreciate if the request for refund can be honored latest by Nov. 26, 2010.

I spoke to Nodal Desk today again (Nov 29, 2010) to check on the refund status and they communicated that they do not have any idea of the same. They are simply fooling their customers.

Requesting you to please take this up with Airtel on top priority.

Hi,

I applied for Airtel Postpaid corporate connection and also paid 300Rs as Deposit amount, After applying they asked for some more documentation since i wanted it soon..i asked them cancel connection as i decided to go for a Prepaid connection and asked back the deposit amount and documentation back..Its over 2 weeks i have not recieved any of things...They wont receive the call at all....

The persons involved in these are totally nonprofessional people, They are ANIL ([protected]) and Hemanth ([protected]). These two are Cheaters............
If they by chance receive the call they will tell its not them...though they are the same people....

AIRTEL SUCKS by these people......

There are two mobile towers siutuated just 100 meters away from my Apartment where 36 families are living . One tower belongs to AIRTEL and the other one is not known.
Pl remove the towers from this residential area and provide us a radiation free living space.

The address is

Dear Ms Arti ,

I am not at all satisfied with your reply , can you provide the reason for
asking me to pay the balance which has arised because of your mistakes , I
have sent you my earlier mails also which clearly indicated I have
requested you to stop the services immediately on both my numbers and I
will not be responsible for any dues arising after this date .

Kindly try to keep your self in my position and understand what I am trying

to say .

also convey your final decision to me , so that I should look after some
other supports .


in addition , request you to see my previous history of payments , I have
used your service for continuous 5 years in chandigarh & still I am using
it in jaipur , but your such mistakes are forcing me to go for other
service operators .

Regards
Charanjit Wadhwa

dear sir/mam
my airtel prepaid number is [protected]. i have got some problem with my sms service. some of my friends states that they are not receiving my sms and some said that they are receiving delayed sms i.e. i had sent the sms in the morning but they received it in the afternoon. kindly note that all these numbers were prepaid vodafone users. i am using the free 700 per day sms scheme. also in case where my sms were not received, they were shown send on my phone and even my free sms balance was also reduced. i even approached my nearest airtel office but they were not able to help me in any way and said that their is no problem in my number.

Dear Sunil/Manoj


Please have a look on billing meter getting charged on prepaid mobile number# [protected].

As per my knowledge: My Plan is Pay Per Second but when ever i called on in any local number it is getting charged as per attached screenshot taken --- when i received message after ending my call i.e USSD Message.

Now when bill metering is wrong in case of Local number calling then how should i belive on std metering.


Please have intervention on this --- also would like to inform you that --- i m forwarding this mail to TRAI as screen shot of wrong billing meter.


Incase of any calarification please feel free to call.


Note : Attached screen shot is only the instance of 4 call which i made from my mobile to local number.
