Bharti Airtel Kenya Customer Care Center Contacts
There have been misconceptions surrounding Airtel Kenya's decision to transfer its customer care staff to the Indian Process Outsourcing firm, Spanco. Airtel Kenya has assured its customers that this move was intended to enhance efficiency by establishing a reliable and efficient customer care unit. It is important to note that this transition has taken place across 16 African countries where Airtel operates.
When comparing the effectiveness of customer care departments among mobile service providers in Kenya, Airtel does not rank as the worst. In fact, it boasts one of the most well-equipped customer care departments compared to the leading provider, Safaricom. Engaging with a Safaricom customer care representative can be quite challenging, and if one is fortunate enough to receive assistance, it often serves as an opportunity for Bharti Airtel Kenya to showcase the advantages of their network and encourage subscribers to switch through mobile number portability.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteWhy dont you give your customers a notice that your services will not be in use on a particular day?
Am not happy about you.
Thank you
hi airltel kenya.am sub criber no.0738407274. i have tried to recharge a 50kshs voucher since morning but all in vain.customer care is dead only computer msg availlable. guys what a let down to dedicated customer
ReplyDeletepliz ive lost my phone and in kericho they cant replace my line . the line is also loaded with zap , am so so mad coz now 3 days wthout a phone and i need my old one
ReplyDeletehow long do u take to reply an email?
ReplyDeleteairtel plz stop putting ringtones on people's phones. it is disgusting and shameful when i called my father-n-law this morning and what i heard is the sawa sawa sawale song. To make it worse is when the person on other end may not be aware that his/her ringtone has been changed. what you are doing can seriously damage your reputation. you need to look for other ways to market yourselves otherwise you will loose the little gains you made
ReplyDeleteI will really appreciate if you can discontinue all allegedly subscribed alerts on the above line.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to send stop but the alerts still continue eating into my credit fraudulently.
I spend money on your service daily and I expect that these alerts to be stopped immediately otherwise I will discard this line and service-0787106699
I keep getting these football updates from 247 which I have never subscribed to. Then money is deducted from my number 0737904001. Inspite of my numerous attempts to unsubscribe by sending STOP ALL message to 247 they all seem to fail. Why do you people do that? Am not even a football fan, It is so annoying that you subscribe me without my knowledge then make it impossible to unsubscribe. I know several other frustrated airtel subscribers with similar unaddressed concerns. Its not helping matters that your staff say they are not aware of any such default subscriptions. We expect better from Airtel. Kindly address this issue.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeletewhy does it take too long for your customer care to help us. I have a problem with my line, it cannot receive any call nor can I call. I have tried calling 111 but it is not of help so far.???
Hallo!
ReplyDeletestop loading peole's lines with unsolicited ringtones,it very demeaning for a big company like yours to allow ringtone sellers to make business at the expense of your clients.I received a message telling me that ihave been deducted money for a ringtone i did not ask for.I really feel dissapointed and i am wondering if it really worth being your customer.The most notorious and annoying ones are from 155
I kindly ask you to advise your marketing team or whoever else is sending unsolicited texts and calls to my phones to remove my numbers from their list. My numbers are 0733-530068 and 0736 919474. I pay for every service that i need from you and my phones are not for advertising. Please buy some newspaper space like all other companies and do your marketing there. Let me also remind you that i have had my first number since the company was Kencell, and they knew what ethics are and how important customers privacy is to their business.
ReplyDeletewhat I don't understand is that airtel don't act and reply to my emails. I have a problem with my line whereby they deduct 1 shilling daily and don't know why. I have tried to seek for their help all invain. They don't reply my emails I write to them complaining either... Is it that they are ignorant about their customers or what? My line is 0734804969
ReplyDeleteI have been using this number 0737-408196/7 for a period of 5years and whenever our bills are due there is always communication from your side. Supprisingly enough and quite inconveniencingb is the manner which i got disconnected since yesterday and after contacting you, its only one line 0737408197 which was reconnected. I cant communicate with my clients and after several attempts to enquire im being informed of systems repair. For how long should i wait?
ReplyDeleteI used a lot of kopa kredo lately but I always repay now every time I put in credit it keeps getting deducted and keeps saying your debt is fully settled yet takes credit every time I put in credit! Please solve this problem. Airtel is unfortunately failing these days.My line is 0788516675
ReplyDeleteThis is not my first complaint . I keep getting those lame jokes from 247 and they ask me to reply STOP but wen I do that it's only credit being taken .you make it IMPOSSIBLE to unsubscribe and I am sick of getting more credit and wasting my money. Stop this Airtel people you are just ruining your reputation among your customers. Please solve this 0788516675
ReplyDeleteAirtell kenya is useless
ReplyDeleteYU has completely eaten the kencell marketshare,we know marketing can be dirty but yours is pathetic,why tap peoples phones?its illegal fraud,criminal behaviour CCK is observing
ReplyDeleteIf Airtel are so efficient why do they need to harass their customers with unsolicited calls from 0786824711 and their 0733100301, it is sooo disruptive and of course internet no longer works on the airtel line, I have been reduced to only calling my 1 friend who also has airtel if she wasn't my best friend I wouldn't have the need for it, I'm sorry but you guys aren't doing yourselves any favours. Just leave us alone to choose what services we want to subscribe to and those ringtones seriously???
ReplyDeleteI wish to give my complaint in writing, after failing to get a satisfactory answer from your customers service staff, twice.
ReplyDeleteI was in Arusha from 3 - 7 July 2012, during which time I noticed that SMS sent from my phone cost Kes. 14.41. Is that the expected cost?
Previously, I called to enquire why sometime between 20 - 25 April, when my brother went to Maldives, I tried to call him, and even though no one picked the phone, I was charged Kes. 960! (Or maybe I was charged for the call he made to me??) The number was a +960......
I hope I will get some response to my questions.
I just sent this email to customercare.ke@airtel.com, and it bounced!
Best regards,
Kentice Tikolo

You seem not to care at all of your small and poor customers like me. my number is 0735600251. I have recently sent complaints in the past one month, call your customer care with complaints of over-charges and no one seems to CARE at all.
ReplyDeleteIf you check your data which i want to believe is available you will note that you are in the loosing path of having me. Infact i have hardly used your services this year. Reasons -POOR or lack of response.
I need an e-mail address of someone who will close my matters then if you prefer I can ditch the sim-card.
owiti musa
I do appreciate a no. of sevices especially your rate and balance notifications. But my number 0736178888 has been having several deductions despite my complain to the customer care. After the erroneous deductions from the 100 bob credit, can you tell me how much i owe you befor i can reload.
ReplyDeleteNB What happened to the customer care?
I have tried to subscribe to daily internet bundles 3 days ago now but its not workin whyyyy??
ReplyDeleteI have a complaint to submit. I keep getting those lame jokes from 247 .I did not subscribe for that service.I have tried unsubscribing for that service by sending STOP JOKES TO 247 but when I do the feed back I get is the subscription selected does not exsist.But my account balance keeps reducing. It's not helping matters that your staff say they are not aware of any such default subscriptions. We expect better from Airtel. Kindly address this issue.My Phone number is 0737933980.Kindly inactivate that subscription.
ReplyDeleteHi customer care am getting threat messages from unknown person from the num 0787670282,am fearing of my life, after sms the phones goes off. Kindly advise.
ReplyDeleteYou can call cellphone --0738555565 for further details
My number is 0737398336 and I am very disturbed that every time I call any number there is a prompt which maintains that the call cannot be completed as dialed.These are numbers that are saved on phone and have been in use for years!Yet a few minutes later the same number is connected without question.What is it? Are your hands full?
ReplyDeleteTerrible issue resolution from airtell.
ReplyDeleteMy mobile number 0725123464 develped an issue last wednesday, Cant call, cant receive calls or messages. I called customer service from my airtell alternative line same day was told it has been re set to swith my phone on and off. It never worked. I called again but this time was told the system is down and there is nothing they can do untill the system is back so i call later. i asked why they cant take my details and resolve the problem when the system was back but was told that would be too much work abnd the operators are busy. This was the routine from wednesday to friday- system down please call later. On Friday i insisted that i talk to a supervisor. The first attendants dennis and dorcas refsed to transfer me and disconnected my when i insisted. Eventualy i was put through to a supervisor nelly. Sweet nelly with great customer care skills took all my details and promised to call me back when system was back we trouble shoot together. Thats the last time i heard of her. Three other requests to speak to her we rejected. she was said to be in afternoon shift. come afternoon shift she is not on duty today.
Today i called a gentleman main served me said my issues was resoved and an sms sent to me. I dont know to which line becacause the failty number cant receive calls or sms but can load airtime (hear that.. even when not serving you, even when your line is down, airtell will make sure they receive their money) stollen money.. money not in exchange of service.
Again .
When i insisted to talk to a supervisor, main disconnected me. I called again immediately and taklked to keziah. after the same long ritual of explaining my story (airtell has my record of complaints but you must repeat the ritual .. too busy to read your issue from the system.. she reluctantly agreed to transfer me to a supervisor. Byt after 5 minutes waiting she came back with the news, the supervisor is too busy but would call me immediately. i said i am not taking any more promises as non had been kept. she discconnected me. five hours later the said supervisor has not talked to me and my issue has not been resolved.
I have four aitell numbers including 3 modems two i use in kenya and one in tz.gues time to buy alternative modems rest these two go down. I have been using my airtell exclussively for business communication to both airtell and all networks. it is the only number i have advertised on my website, letters og introduction to clients, tender documents. so you understand my anger. I want to do something about this so that others kenyans dont go through this. Any blogger with a widely read blog we share with kenyans, any one who knows how to get airtell penalized for tjis.. i read of penalties by cck for poor services by the operators?
any laeyer who thinks there is a case here with minimal legal fees.. is it not the best way to get publicity for airtells poor services... today is monday.. out of communication since wednesday.
sorry my faulty no is 0735123464 jspmathenge@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteKindly have a system of blacklisting conmens, had an encounter with one. He impersonated your staff telling me I have won 70k only to tell me that it will not be possible to send via airtel line and I need to dial a specific number (not sure if he said *247# coz when he said that I need to dial a number I dismissed him. His number is 0787 754634
Hi. I called customer care reporting a conman who called telling me I had won 100k only that they could only send a maximum of 40k via airtel and the rest required another money transfer method etc. Was told to send his number to 333, but the text isn't going through. The number is +254 734 051913. I hope action will be taken.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteDo Airtel customer service reply to what people are complaining here,i need some service from you guys.
My line is 0733711138, I constantly receive offers to download music ringtones and at times at very odd hours, like very early morning or late night?
ReplyDelete. These are very disturbing. I don't wish to receive them anymore. Could you PLEASE STOP THEM?
Your services are just the worst. I subscribed for club 10, Ksh 10 was deducted from my account but I was unable to call my airtel friends (10pm - 6am ). Why do you people 'present' to us things that you cannot actually deliver? My number is 0732718732
ReplyDeleteyes.your promotional smses at WEIRD hours of the night are a violation of human rights!!NKT@#$nowadays i dont even check when i get a text coz the chances of them being from anyone other than airtel are close to NIL
ReplyDeleteDoes airtel Kenya charge customers for switching off their lines while abroad? I have an airtel post paid line but work in DAR only switching on this line on weekends when I am in Nairobi. The surprising thing is that the charges continue to increase every month. The latest shocker is a five digit bill that I can't mention here but I have raised a complaint with the customer care desk.
ReplyDeletelooking at the above complains,am dead airtel-wise!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteseems airtel doesnt respond to customer queries..
ReplyDeleteBeen getting weird calls saying its from advertising,sales and marketing About winning money from airtel money etc. wanting to find out details about my whereabouts, name etc..kindly follow up and trace these cause its scary
ReplyDeleteQuery on bundle usage – modem 0732713702
ReplyDeleteDear people,
This morning at about 10 am, I bought a sh 450, 500MB data bundle and by 2.40 pm, it had ran out. All I have done is some PDF attachments and a browse through face book.
I believe there must be something awry and would appreciate if you could check.
Sincerely,
Kariuki
Please airtell stop sending soo many sms to us. Its so boring to be receving messages now and then until our phones memory are getting full.
ReplyDeleteIs Airtel 3.75G only available in Nairobi?I'm in Karuri -Kiambu I have been On a weak Edge Since day 1
ReplyDeleteHi. I called customer care reporting a conman who called telling me I had won 100k. Was told to send his number to 333, but the text isn't going through. The number is +254 786 787401. I hope action will be taken.
ReplyDeletemy number is 0736805125 and iam deducted one shilling everytime i recharge my credit with twenty shillings and above why does this happen? what am i being deducted for and why
ReplyDeleteI complained about the promotional texts you send every day to the tune of 50 sms in a day and it is totally annoying.
ReplyDeleteSpecific times is 1am, 2am, 4 am and 600 during the day. Get my number out of your promotional offers texting service.
If not i will be forced to take legal action against you.
0737 76 22 42.
I DO NOT WANT TO RECEIVE YOUR ANNOYING TEXTS!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy number is 0739365610,I have just talked to the customer service over deductions which is to the tune of Kshs.20 every time I get a message. I have just texts STOP to 247 and to my surprise you have deducted a further 10/-. What could be wrong?. I am thinking switching off and going to other service providers.We ca not afford to loose money at this rate.
Greetings people
ReplyDeleteThis afternoon, we recharged our Airtel modem with the unlimited sh 3,000 option. It failed to log on saying “The connection was terminated by the remote computer before it could be completed”.
We called your people and they promised to fix it within an hour. They did but the speeds were very’ very low and so we waited thinking that they would pick up as we tried to upload a bid.
Now, we are back to “The connection was terminated by the remote computer before it could be completed ” and have lost the business and, with it, a considerable amount of money.
My number is 0732713702
Best regards,
Kariuki
MINE IS JUS IRRITATING EVERY TOPUP AM DEDUCTED ONE SHILLING KWANI MNACHANGA BONUS?
ReplyDeletePlease also note that President Kibaki assented to the Consumer Protection Act, 2012 on December 13, 2012 and that the Consumers Federation of Kenya (www.cofek.co.ke) would be pleased if you copied your complaints to: hotline@cofek.co.ke
ReplyDeleteAirtel Kenya has one of the poorest services..They take too long to reply to messages..Your postpaid services are very poor.please borrow a leaf from safaricom.You cant even pay throughh airtel money and have one of the worst working systems..pull up your socks my number is currently blocked yet i had done a payment..iam no longer interested in your services at least we have Safaricom.
ReplyDeletenone on the numbers mentioned above are working...
ReplyDeleteSERVICE IS PATHETIC! WE CAN CREATE A WHOLE ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF COMPLAINTS! the customer care agents are earning a pay for doing nothing at all, my line is now permanently off as i have switched to the BETTER OPTION.....less stress, no annoying ring tones and forced subscriptions! i advise all out there to do the same as its clear we wont get help from anyone at airtel!
ReplyDeleteI just received a call from a guy calling himself Eric Mwandime cell number 0878443445 claiming that he is calling from Airtel head office to inform me that I have won Ksh 100,000. Asked how I won that money without participating in any competition, he said that I had won a bonus for line usage. What he wanted was to know whether my line was registered so that he could send the money to it or whether I had another money service like MPESA which he could use. He also wanted to know where I was. On informing him that I do not have an MPESA, he said he could use my ZAP but has to broaden it since it is locked to only receive deposits of Kshs 35,000. He asked me to give him five minutes to do that but he has not called back yet. Could anyone explain how this racket unfolds? An Email sent to Airtel Customer Care to report has bounced back.
ReplyDeleteAirtel's customer service is terrible!!
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to get an itemised bill for the past 2 months - every time I call 111 or go to their store, they raise another task ticket. a task ticket gets raised over and over again for the task that was not originally done. Yet they never get the job done, but continue to keep disconnecting me even when I am below my credit limit.
How do I continue to pay for something that I have no details of?
There is no way of escalating the matter. They have no complaints procedure - so you are forever stuck with the brainless idiot that answers the phone, who might as well not have picked up the darn phone after waiting 20+ minutes.
Airtel needs to be sent on a REAL customer care course. Perhaps they can learn from some of the UK companies.
More importantly they need to fire all the idiots they hire - who just don't get logic!
I would be extremely embarrassed running a company like this.
I gave up on Airtel. Data will show and speak for itself. Check my usage now and in the past years -no. 0735600251
ReplyDeleteAirtel customer service is daily out of service,just close shop and go back to where you came from!
ReplyDelete'TO HELL, AIR-TELL"
ReplyDelete0734-595496

ReplyDeleteAirtel is just useless. You email, they take forever to respond. You call their customer care lines, you wait until you give up- it is like you have FOREVER to listen to their products. Frustrating!!!
