Airtel Reviews

Poor service!
Airtel in India (Mobile phone Service) is the most stupid service one can subscribe. Most of the time's the line gets cut after talking for 10 or 20 seconds and the customers are billed for one whole minute. Perfect way to dupe their customers. Now imagine if they have 10 Million customers in India and this kind of thing happens to 7 million customers, then these Airtel people make 14million rupees in one day - considering that the line gets disconnected at least two time a day for 70% of their customers. I may be wrong but I am sure its to at least 90% of their customers.

Lastly " TO GET THROUGH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE EXECUTIVE ON 121 IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I THINK THAT IT'S EASIER TO GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THAN TO SPEAK TO THE CUSTOMER CARE EXECUTIVES OF AIRTEL".

Sadly a very unfortunate situation how the company treats its customers who they make money from - SAD :-(

Poor service!
I had purchased the nokia phone 6030 with air tel connection no9959471811, which is two years incoming free offered by air tel company.But after one month the company terminated my connection without notice. As i approached they are not giving proper response.

Beware people!

Wrong amount deducted for caller tune!
On 15.10.07, I opted to have a caller tune for my cellphone number 9903579010. But before going for the service I talked to a Airtel customer executive at 121 and he confirmed me that Rs 20 will be deducted for the song which I will choose and Rs 30 will be charged as monthly subscription which totals to Rs 50/-. But to my utter disbelief Rs 160/- has been debited from my account balance and I have also not received the song I requested for.
For the last 24 hours I have been trying to get in touch with the Customer Care execs and nobody could give me a valid reason for the mishap. Whenever I am asking them to put me to their Team Leader/Seniors they are asking me to wait while they transfer the call and after waiting for several minutes each and every time the line is being disconnected.

Beware!

Pathetic customer service for prepaid
I am sorry to say about Airtel service for prepaid, which is going on worst day by day.
And the worst part is that the customer service is so bad in terms of professional
Eg: 1. GPRS service has become so pathetic instead of paying Rs.14.99 per day which get deducted without failed
2. Airtels give a commitment of speed of 115 Kbps but the actual speed is only 35 to 40 Kbps any time.
2. CSE disconnects the call immediately when it hits them or hangs in the middle of the conversation.
3. Neither the CSE take any ownership to resolve the problem or revert back with any feedback
4. Wherein there is no supervisor of TL on floor when we want to escalate the problem.

My concern is that if this continues for 1 or 2 years then Airtel brand we no longer exit in the market in any field.
In fact this was the first brand in India with good quality service in terms of network and customer service, which gave name to Airtel and Bharti Sunil Metal, and this was recognized by the people of India, no doubt that bharti was a good player in National and International Long Distance Services.
But we don’t know in today’s world any changes can happen without any warning.

My request is that this feedback shouldn’t go deaf ears, wherein if it’s happen there is nothing we will lose instead Airtel will lose customer , and no doubt we will switch to another service provider

I think the signal is clear.


Thank you.

Waiting for positive feedback.

Billed even after the SIM was blocked!
I had called Airtel on 11 of Sept 2007 to block the SIM no. 9959266670 , since I had lost the mobile. I got the reply that it was blocked, but when I get the bill it was not blocked. The guy who found the phone used it to call the all over India, till 4 Oct. 2007. When I inquired on 4 Oct 2007 to my surprise the SIM was not blocked. Now this has become a biggest problem. I had also called them on 24 Sept 2007 to cancel the number till date I have not received any call from them.

If this is the kind of Service they are providing, I recommend Everybody to stop using Airtel. I have promised myself that I would never in my life use Airtel services.

Thanking you,
Alok Garg.

Cheating by reducing credit

VAS downloading is not yet deactivated from my cell
I had visited the customer care office of airtel. Had requested them to deactivate the VAS download which was reducing my account balance everyday. Its one month passed and they still have not deactivated it.

Poor service

Less talk time than promised!
On the website of AIRTEL (link http://www.airtel.in/User_Voucher.aspx?path=1/6/6/2&cid=3) it is clearly mentioned that on a recharge of Rs 450, the talk time is 300. But since the last 2 months I have been getting only 275.

Called up Customer Care about 3 times. The first 2 times they agreed that I should be getting 300 and assured that I’ll get the remaining amount in the next 48 hrs! but this didn’t happen, both the times! When I called the 3rd time, the guy at the other end (after confirming with his so called supervisor) said that I will be getting only 275. When I told him that airtel website says 300 he asked me to write a complaint to the website itself!

I mean, are the callers not aware of the packages and what rubbish is this? Aren’t they and the website in sync? They should be taking this issue up! What if one sees the rates on the internet, selects the package and then is told by customer care that the website of airtel gives bull information?!?

PATHETIC service!!

Poor service standards
Since I shifted my residence this August, the CLIP & STD/ISD facilities have been withdrawn from my number (though I am being charged for the same). Inspite of repeated service request to the attending technician (who re-installed the phone at my new residence) & subsequent calls & emails to Airtel Customer Care, my request has not yet been resolved. Every time I have been assigned a complaint no. & given an assurance of 24hrs TAT. However, no body subsequently bothered to check-up whether the problems have been resolved. Over the last 1 1/2 months I have called on customer care atleast 10-12 times & written 6 - 7 emails, but all in vain.

I do not expect such sloppy & customer insensitive behaviour from Bharti. I have held back my bill payments & will not release the same till the problems are resolved. (May be mentioned that I have shared the reason for non-payment to the caller who reminded me of the payment due date. However, I feel there is absolutely no coordination between the call centres.) Moreover, had Airtel been as proactive in responding to customer requests as they are in barring services due to non-repayment, they would have earned more satisfied customers.
