Airtel review: false commitments by the airtel customer care executives! 41

I changed my post paid connection to prepaid with same no. They asked me several proofs for prepaid even though i have given the same for postpaid. I went again with all the proofs they needed and got the sim. I am informed that it will be activated within a day. But they didn't activate for three days. To my woes i was out of station from chennai those 3 days. My family could not contact me. If i called the no which the airtel showroom gives as contact no, the bloody folks are not picking the phone. Even if they r picking once after 20 calls they simply cut the mobile after some time without saying. They had really tested my patience. At last after 3 days they had taken their own time to activate. But within a week,they had disconnected my mobile saying that the photo identity which i gave is not a proof. If that is the case they should have told me the second time itself when i went to produce the proof. But they didn't. But they have disconnected my mobile. If i tried to contact the contact no which the airtel showroom at Chennai the same old thing repeats, they r not picking but they used to make calls from the mobile without attending customer. Idiotic peoples in the showroom without having a care to attend the customers.

Airtel Sucks. I got a prepaid connection from a dealer after filling out all the required forms and submitting all the proofs. And suddenly with a 2 hour SMS notice they disconnected my outgoing saying I had not submitted some proofs or whatever. Then I had to do the proverbial pillar to post thing and had to call them up like 100 times to find out what I need to do. The dealer kept blaming Airtel and Airtel was clueless saying that there was some problem with the submitted documents and that I have to resubmit again. But they wouldn't tell me what was the problem. I asked to talk to a senior person who kept repeating the same thing asking me to resubmit and when I told them that if they did'nt tell me the reason I would risk documents 'rejection' again, she seemed to cook up some reason and told me I needed a local address or something. Finally someone called from the Airtel office and told me that they would activate it, but it would take 4 hours due to technical issues and 'TRAI' regulations. I have been without outgoing for 24 hours. It takes them 2 minutes to activate connection when you are signing up. But now they need 4 hours. Which is just plain stupid. On the whole, a bitter experience. Only reason I am not moving to a different operator right now is that I unfortunately topped my card for a large amount, apart from the headache of having to update my number with all the contacts!

Airtel is one worst service provider I have seen. I have had very bad experiences with this stupid company. Their customer service sucks. The worst part is am not using airtel service since 2 years and they are still sending bills to my id and demanding me to pay. The fact is am not even in India. People did u realize how selfish they are. ALl they want is money from innocent people like us. I know many people who use the card and dig it underground and keep changing the numbers. But we people who pay the bill honestly will face all the problems. Not only me, many of my friends and families faced different problems. PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL BEFORE USING AIRTEL.

Airtel Customer Service is not good and they are showing their inability and un maturedness. Not guiding properly and not having enough information in hand for customers. Just reading the system information which is not at all sufficient. Dont have hierarchical systems.

Recently my outgoing call got disconnected without any notice. While communicating the customer care understood I have to re-submit my residential proof again. While I was mentioned while getting the connection i have provided the required documents (for address proof my airtel landline telephone bill photo copy and driving licence front and back photo copy for photo identification) they told I have to re-submit again. I understood fault of the agent(who provided me the connection), have to resubmit my documents and I went into the airtel office and resubmitted the documents and asked the person to verify my documents and when it will be enabled. They told documents are perfect and it will be enabled in 24 hours.

But even after 4 days outgoing was not enabled . I called the customer care, they told the documents are not sufficient. While I asked for the reason they are unable to provide proper information. they mentioned address proof does not hold enough information. The address proof I re-submitted was my airtel landline bill. I hold the airtel landline for past 3 years and receiving my bills the residence properly and paying by bills by monthly.

They are not able to guide me properly for enabling my outgoing.

For enabling the outgoing call for a pre-paid mobile number which hold Rs. 300, I have spend more than 50 rupees for phone calls and went to the airtel office twice. Even after all this I have not recieved the required service.

Airtel call center service is the example for worst and useless service provider which I have seen till now.

I really agree with that airtel customer care is too worst.
I took a sim of airtell. I submitted the proofs what all they need.
They said that it will be activated with in 3 days. They did the same and disconnected the outgoing stating that something need to be submitted.They failed to tell me at first. Eventhough i gave my docs didnt still get.
So people i really tell u dont go 4 airtell.

I had brought two mobile prepaid cards from Airtel. One for me and another for my wife. My number is [protected] and my wife no is [protected]. But when calls are coming for both nos are going to [protected]. I brought the cards in the month of January. Initial stage it is working fine. Recently for last one month it is giving problem to us. So please look in the matter. It is very urgent. You customer care nos at Chennai is not responding.

Feel disappointed in paying colleague post paid bill.

AIRTEL is a bad network in India.

They all cheating fellows.

They cheated Rs:60 from my account for yahoo zone I haven't registered for anything.

sir, all i can say is Airtel is very big Mittal Company, due to the services provided by 121 and other customer care emails response is very poor and neglected. I have cancelled one airtel number and i got confirmation of the deactivation also. Later on every month my account was debited...still going on..so my advice is DONT GIVE ECS DETAILS FOR PAYMENTS

Recently I registered online in airtel site, for stopping promotional calls from airtel. After registering a message was displayed saying, I'll receive a confirmation number through SMS from airtel within 24 hrs after which I've to enter that again in the site to stop receiving promotional calls. Even after 1 month I still dint receive any such SMS...

I have got a prepaid connection from Airtel before 3 months with the proofs submitted as told by the dealer. And now, with out any prior notice they disconnected my connection saying that there is no enough documents submitted. I have submitted my proofs and photo again to the Airtel showroom and till after 1 full day they have not yet connected my connection. When called to customer care they are now telling that they need 24 hours. SInce I am staying outside my place my parents are not able to contact me. I have seen the worst customer service as well as the irresponsible service ever from airtel. There is no coordination even among the customer care reply and showroom people's reply.

They are charging even for the Customer Care numbers.

I requested for plan change ... to confirm weather the plan had been changed or not ... i am trying to contact the chennai customer care number since 2 days ... but no response.

Yea i agree ... I was also been affected by the airtel cutomer care coimbatore ... i am using Pre paid connection.. i was using since 1 year ...

I was been cheated for Rs 200/- Annual subscriptin charges...

I payed the amount in the showroom for HT activation around a month before but still they are not agreeing that i have paid and been running behind them...

Finally its all waste of using their service and i logged a compalint in the consumer court through www.fcamin.nic.in..

So in mere future youngster of India its all in your hands to make India well developed economy without anyone been ignored for their services... its all a lesson for every one...

MY MOBILE NUMBER IS [protected] IF I GIVE MISS CALL TO MUSCAT I AM CHARGING OTHER SERVICE THEY ARE NOT CHARGING FOR THAT.I CALL CUSTOMER CARE THAT ARE NOT CREDITING THE AMOUNT. PLEASE CREADIT THE AMOUNT . I WILL MAKE MISS CALL, PLEASE CHEQUE INTO THE MATTER, AND DO STEPS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE .

I am one of the Post paid users of Airtel. Every month I am paying the postpaid bill, through one of the authorised vendor.

I have paid the bill for the month of June. However due to Airtel's Internal negligence and ignorance, I did not receive any receipt of the payment.

Now all of a sudden, after 3 to 4 weeks, airtel people are calling me and asking me, why I have not paid the payment.

I have already provided the contact information of the Vendor through which I paid my airtel bill.

I am paying the postpaid bill through the same vendor from the past one year, I never came across any such discrepancies.

This is really irritating and pathetic way of treating the customers. I appreciate if the airtel looks after such discrepancies and comes up with a proper channel of communication and follow up.
