Airtel
Reviews and Complaints

I have been using internet from my airtel sim on my computer over an year or so. On 9th may, Rs.55 (approx.) was deducted from my account.

When I contacted customer care, they told me i was using airtel live even without any such settings!

Now my question is when i am connecting with dial up connecting, how can i choose between airtel live or mobile office?
I was already doing this over an year and this deduction suddenly happens on 9th may.
Is there any way that I get my money back else i m left with option to switch operator...

I had faltered a Bill Payment for my number in Bangalore intentionally as Customer Care failed to change my address requesting as many times as possible following all possible IVRS, walk-in to store etc. I thought of stopping the payments and get things done. I still owe Bharti my Bill and as an User - I will be paying it - but are there ways correct?

The collections department for Bharthi hinders into its customer's privacy and analyze the calling details and call up your family, near and dear ones and protray as the courier service. I had earlier spend lot of my energy in understanding this and in fact to all my surprises even Legal team of Airtel is aware of it... They have a lame attitude and just say that there's not any compliance which they are not following.

Is this right? the collection team just talk in a very abusive language - not sure how to deal this - but I guess this moves forward. Please feel free to comment and I will be more than willing to contribute...

I gotta call today again and in the same model and with almost similar language... I have attached an email for reference with names and numbers masked...

Dear Corporate Collections/Vikaas,

I was expecting a response and resolution to the query as mentioned in the email chain below. I would be in position to confirm the due-payments only after your reponse and assurances on the address change and query resolution. Please help me in taking this forward. I would like to retain the number and use it even in coming times. The disconnect to service is understandable on the non-payments of bills.

I appreciate your time for the telephonic discussions yesterday and allowing me for putting forward my concerns to you. I have requested you earlier through this email and assured you that I would be making the payments; but needed an assurance from you on the conflict item which has been long due.

As per my request for not giving me a call, Mr. Ram; an Airtel authority kept calling me and also been arrogant over the discussions. He kept insisting on a negative tone that Payments has to be made today, else he would approach my cousin who stays in Bangalore. Even my request and affirmation to him that I have had an on-going email communication with you; he failed to recognise it and said that I am trying to fool him.

Please note that the he has procured the address of my cousin/aunt in a falsified way by portraying as a Courier guy with undelivered courier. He procured the address from my brother (who's number was picked from my calling list [hindering my privacy]). I have marked my brother in this communication as CC. He did Blackmailed me saying that he is standing outside the gate of my aunt and he would approach my aunt who stays in Nandi Enclave if I do not make a payment by evening.

I would want you to let you know that Mr. XYZ123, my attorney for law; marked on this email will take the discussion forward with you and would like to understand that whether all consumers are treated, blackmailed in the similar fashion; whilst I have been reachable on my alternate number and email. My immediate concern is the safety of my family and friends who has been approached through my references.

I would like to get the payment done only after the resolution has been identified and proper legal action as permitted by Law is done.
Thank You.

Best Wishes,

Masked23

Dear Corporate Connections,

Thank You for sending across the details and as I understand rightly the due payment is 16612.09 if payment is done by 08-Nov-09. My sincere apologies for not been able to make the payment on time. I would be travelling starting tomorrow and would like to make payments only after, I am back from my travel. Please feel free to add intrests to the payment in case of over dues.

I would also like to bring the following to your notice:

1. A person uses my private calling numbers (people whom I have called in last 3 months ) and reach out friends and relatives seeking false story and trying to defame on the grounds of non-payment bill is highly unacceptable.

2. I have been with the service for more than half decade when Airtel was mere the entry level brand in the market; and expected very high level of professional behavior while resolving the conflict on the item

3. Folks from collection called up my family with false identification of "courier folks" and seeking details when you have had alternate mode of connectivity available.

While I have been missing on the payments in past one year is because of your portal does not allow the change of address when it comes to change the address in city; I have atleast made this statement loud and clear upteenth times that I have got myself relocated to Hyderabad. The loyalty was so high that, I kept the number in Roaming to retain the number and service. I hope you should have realized it by now.

I have earlier written to people on the limitations of portal address not to be changed and expected a response/notifications. Also, the capabilty to make a payment has never been a challenge as my bills have always been around 5k-7k as an average and had been a continous payment throught out.

Mr. Ram (probably name changed) of telephone number +[protected]; had a real bad tone and lacked basic etiquettes to speak to the customer. I would sincerely appreciate if he does the due dillegence and respect an individual before talking to the person.

Please suggest me the next step; and if required I am ready to address the concern in the required legal forums and would like to bring the discrepancy in services from both sides.

I would like to confirm the payment of bill by 07-Nov-09 and response to this email will determine the mode.
Thank You.

Best Wishes,

Airtel Company now starts cheating to their Customer specially pre-paid by automatically deducting there prepaid balance frequently, a banch of efficient thief executives are there & they don't care to here the problem of customer. I am a pre-paid customer of Airtel during last one decade bearing no.[protected], previously it was a post paid connection, but there has been various fishy charges reflected in my postpaid bill then I switch over to pre-paid connection during last six years.
During last 3 months i noticed that my pre-paid balances are automatically deducted time to time, though I was in use of hello-tune it has been changed Rs. 30.00 per month but some times it has been charged twice in a month. I have made complaint regarding this, but the executives of Airtel Customer care are very irresponsible they don’t care the problem of customer. Yesterday(03.05.11 ) around 12.09pm I’ve received two sms followed by one after another from so called Highly Efficient Airtel Customer care dept. are as follows
1) ” your Hello Tune has been changed to Geeta Slok absolutely free. To search your favorite song SMSto 578785(Free)”
2) “You have been charged Rs. 60.00 for 90 days for Hellotune Service to deactivate this service dial [protected].toll free…”
I am surprised as I’ve not made any request to change my Hello tune at all. Hence I called up Customer care regarding this they previously try to convince me that the request was coming from my side when I ask them to play the voice recording of myself regarding the above request then they transfer the call to their Senior executive, he told me yes it is actually automatically changed due to a fix programme. I request him to get back my old Hello Tune & refund back of Rs. 60.00. he told it is not possible to return old Hello Tune the amount of Rs. 60.00 will refund back if I deactivate the Hello Tune. I repeatedly enquire about that is it possible to refund Rs. 60.00 after deactivation of Hello Tune that person repeatedly assure me yes it is the only way to refund back the amount & with in 20 min I’ll receive the SMS of the same. Hence I became agree above deactivation. I’ve recd deactivation sms at 2.34pm another two sms bearing request no.[protected] at.2.40pm & [protected] at 2.45pm on 03.05.11. From yesterday till now at 1.55pm I ve made at least ten to fifteen calls regarding refunding of Rs. 60.00. which they deducted wrongly…today they openly told me the amount is not refundable ….
I don’t understand what is going on it is openly snatching of money there is no scope to trust to any body the Representative of a RENOUNED COMPANY LIKE AIRTEL. The situation is, They made the mistake from their end but they denied their wrongly act, they force us to act accordingly that they are needed. After this they wave the all responsibility to customer’s shoulder. The person like me who are attached in a working world they have not enough time to look after what is going on wheather the pre-paid balance deducted or not. Yesterday accidentally I’ve noticed & then knocked to the customer care…now till date after receiving their way of response I’m vary much worried about their activity..I am sorry & dare to say that “they are nothing but SOFISTICATED THIEF PAID BY AIRTEL CO.
I’M VERY MUCH DISHEARTEN & A POSSIBILTY TO SURRENDER THE AIRTEL CONNECTIVITY WHICH WAS MY MORE THAN A DECADE FRIEND…… I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT COMAPANY IS DOING?
HOW THEY ALLOW THEIR SO CALLED EXECUTIVES TO ACT THIS TYPE OF CHEAP ACTIVITY TO THEIR VALUABLE CUSTOMER?
… I ALSO APPEAL TO CONSUMER FORUM TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER ….

Hi team,
I have taken airtel broadband service. My landline number is [protected] and my name is bibhuti shankar. My contact number is :[protected]. I have some issues with the broadband actually its not working. I called customer care they told it will be resolved within 24hrs. But till date 4th may its not resolved. Daily around 4 to 5 times I am calling them but the same promise and words they are saying "I can understand your problem sir". They are making me fool. My complain number is [protected]. And I spoke to tarun (Manager), pavitra (Manager) and malik (Engineer), badrinath (Pl).
I reaquest the team to please take care of my complain and these people who very much careless.

I have mobile connection no. [protected]. Today all of asudden the account has been debited by Rs.15/ &6o/ stating charges for hello tunes. Immediate on receipt of message I asked them to deactivate and refund the debited amount. Hello tune services deactivated but not refunding the amount so debited. They explained me over phone that it had been activated at my request which is not acceptable logically as if at all I would require this services, why should I ask them to deactivate immediately on receipt of message for activation.

Kindly arrange to get me the refund for Rs.75/ immediately.

In the past also on one occasion it happened and they refunded me afterwards.

My Airtel prepaid Mobile number is [protected]. i have tried to call Airtel customer service to record the complain but 4 times their people just disconnect the phone. i would like Airtel to explain to me why they have deducted money from my prepaid balance almost everyday and would like them refund the money they have stolen from me and to keep their SIM card becase they are cheating the people. Airtel is a thief stealing peoples money. Stupid Airtel. They have stolen money from me more than 3 times

This the mail i sent to Airtel and they havent the decency to call back or register the complaint.
i had also found out yesterday that i had apparently activated the song download when i did not activate any of these services on my phone. I request Airtel to refund me my money they deducted and provide me the details of deduction i would like to disconnect my prepaid telephone service from airtel since this is the second time they have done this. This is outright cheating. Why are they deducting money without informing the customer- i think this is a cheat company
Dear sir,
I have just been deducted more than 150 rupees from my balance- please give me an explanation or a log file as to why this has been done.
I do not use internet on my iPhone- Please reply soon or I will complain in the consumer court as to why this has been done. Why are you deducting money from my account when I don’t use the internet.

Subject: Re: MY MOBILE NUMBER [protected]-STOP YOUR NONSENSE OF CHEATING CUSTOMERS- DON¹T DEDUCT MY BALANCE

Hi Prakash,
I regret to inform you that I do not use any internet on my phone and neither do I have GPRS.
Tell me one thing- how come the balance gets deducted only at night and that too every other day- I don’t think that I browse the net in my sleep. In the first place I had never activated the GPRS service- and my phone doesn’t have GPRS.
Please don’t play games with me
You people have been deducting money on regular intervals- please stop that or I will take up the matter seriously.
Stealing 30p to Re1.50/Rs2 from all customers is a very large amount.

I am using Airtel prepaid sim since 2 and Half years. My mobile number is [protected].I recharged my phone in 24/4/2011 for RS 50 in morning after some times i check my balance it will be zero amound i called the custmer care exicutive and that exicutive not give me a proper explanation and then I called again the custmer care exicutive she told me that i download some application through mobile office i am activated my GPRS plan in middle of april using RS98 rechage and that will discus with the exicutive. She told me that the call will pass to the TEAM LEADER after sime time the phone in hold some times later they cut my phone.some time later i called the customer care again again and not getting the call.I think they will my block my call. Plese do need full

I had been contacted by a person who introduced herself as an agent working with airtel (Vazhuthacaud office) and put forth the new offer from airtel, whereby I was getting a sim, complimented to the corporate sim that I am currently using, for the payment of rupees 100. I had gone forth with the offer and had submitted my proof details to polite. [protected]@gmail.com which I was told was the mail id of the franchise. I had submitted my proof to this id since I could'nt meet the customer service executive in person. I received the sim via courier service from the same group polite. Associates. I want to check with airtel if this franchise is authentic and if so, why I had been barred of rightful service for the past 3 days for which I had made 2 to 3 calls to the customer care. If there is no autheticity in these franchises then why is airtel promoting the sale of sim through these franchises which is causing such pain to the customers who are barred of their rightful service.

I went to custmer relation office of airtel at leela bhawan patiala to pay bill of my mobile no.[protected] for april, 2011 at about 6.00pm, but they refused to accept the cash as they were sitting idle and accepted rs.2000/- from some cusomer but not from me. Airtel should not appoint any such agent who give bad name to airtel

The company has very poor after sales service. The minimum wait time on the toll free number provided is at least 12 to 13 minutes before anyone responds. To add insult to this if they are unable to solve the problem they never answer the calls made from the registered mobile phone with the company. On top of this theuy will send a sms saying that your complaint has been solved without acyually bothering to do so. The company does not respond to any emails either. Its a shame that the company being an indian firm is actually behaving in a very shameful manner. This in a time when other indian companies are trying to compete with multinationals.

I am holding airtel prepaid sim card. I received a call from airtel agents suggesting for prepaid to postpaid conversion. I got convinced and a guy named jeetu pavale (+[protected]) came for collecting necessary document on april 07, 2011. I was assured that the whole process wud take max 7 days. I was charged rs.300 / - for the conversion and received the receipt (Receipt no. 106449) and a welcome kit (Sim card inside). But till now it is not activated. I have been calling the airtel representative who came for collecting the documents since long and that fellow is not at all picking up my calls. Pissed off calling hundred time daily to the airtel representatives and on the top of it they assured me tht the complaint has been registered and I would be getting call from the responsible person in 24 hrs. Also provided me with the request no. [protected]. Its been a week but didnt receive any calls from them!

This agent is seriously spoiling the name n image of airtel.
My question is - is there any way through which I can check if my documents have been submitted with airtel or not.
I m afraid that by doing this kind of act they are just making fool of general public.

Please look into this matter n reply soon!

Thank you.

My name is dixit mehra, I activated my airtel 3g a month back, which btw does not work well, the reason that I got the 3g services activated in the 1st place was to watch live matches, but that also doesnt work. Also I have activated rs599 plan for unlimited internet usage through blackberry edge and my average monthly bill rs 2000-rs 3000.
For the whole month I used the internet as I normally do, now guess how much my bill is this month? Rs 10, 380/-, out of which my internet usage is rs8500. I have not downloaded any movie, or video or any other extra stuff. Its not even possible to get such a bill amount. On the other side, my father activated his 3g services on vodafone the same time, and he uses it much more than I do, you know how das get excited with new technology, he also used it as a modem while his home wireless was on, and guess how his bill was... Only rs 1800.

Airtel people are just robbing the customers, and btw I ve been a loyal customer past 15 years. Thats the service they provide to their loyal customers.

one month back airtel executive approach me for internet connection name yogender khanna and describe about the plan in which first fifteen days you get the plan 749+ tax after fifteen days it will converted into 449+tax. after fifteen days i contact he said your connection is converted in that plan. but now i came to know from airtel people tht your bill is 943. so think this is cheating to me. now airtel people are harrasing me to pay that amount.

Subject - plan change
We were having 6 months planed and without informing the plan was changed into monthly plan. And even we got the wrong bill. We are not getting proper services even after complaining. And your instrument was also making lot of problem and u dint change even after so many complains.

Airtell customer service sucks, big time, first of all there is no network. When ever I call up the hotline number... The agent puts me on hold for 10 mins and then disconnects my call... And then I call again... And repeat my situation... I had requested for a port from airtel to vodafone.. Airtel disconnected my line completly... Airtel network and customer service sucks big time.. # all service from airtel
