[Resolved]  Reliance Communications Mobile — Wrong Billing

Address:Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra

A letter RCOM/CRO/AUG-12/3336 Dated 04/08/2012 was sent to me from Advocate Shadab Peerzade on instruction of his client Reliance Communications..
In the subject matter please note the following :
1) I was a customer of Reliance Communications for more than 12-13 years. My Account Number was [protected] and MDN No [protected]
2) On 12th March 2012, I requested for porting of my Mobile service under Porting request number RM744462
3) My porting was approved by the Reliance Communication on 22/03/2012. An SMS to this effect was sent to me by Vodafone at 01:03:34 AM of 22/03/2012
4) My services with Vodafone was started w.e.f from 22/03/2012. An SMS to this effect was sent to me by Vodafone at 11:40:56 PM on 22/03/2012.
5) Hence since 22/03/2012, I ceased to be a customer of Reliance Communication. No calls were made on Reliance network nor any services of Reliance Communications were availed by me thereafter under the said Relationship Number.
6) My first call from Vodafone was made on 23/03/2012.
7) I paid an amount of Rs. 271.00 in Cash on 27/03/2012 to Reliance Communication.
8) A bill dated 25/04/2012 (Bill No.[protected] was sent to me. In this bill I was asked to pay Rs. 279.78 (rounded off to Rs. 280.00).
9) This bill was raised for period 25/03/2012 to 24/04/2012 and included Monthly Rental Charges, RWorld Rental and SMS Pack for the period mentioned in point (8) as above.
10) It is worthwhile to note that in the same bill it has been clearly mentioned that my previous dues of 271.27 has been paid as pointed out in point (7).
11) So I was asked to pay for the period when I was no longer customer of his client as pointed out in points (3-6).
12) I was sent another bill next month number[protected] Dated 24/05/2012.
13) In this bill I was asked to pay Rs. 280.05 of Previous Bill and 223.82 of Present Bill totaling to Rs. 504.00 This is the amount for which a legal notice of recovery has been sent by Mr. Peerzade.
14) Needless to say that this Bill, as before, was also for the period when I was no longer a customer of Reliance Communications.
15) Fed up with continued unwarranted and untenable reminders / bills. I sent an email to Reliance informing that I am no longer their customer.
(Reliance=[protected]
16) I again sent them another email ('Reliance=[protected]').
17) From the context of the mails, it may be noted that one department of Reliance was unaware of other department's doing. They were non cooperative to say the least and expected me to take troubles to prove that I was no longer their customer.
18) There is total lack of inter departmental communication in Reliance Communication.
19) I have time and again asked Reliance to inform me the exact date of termination of my services. So far I have not received any definite answer. In fact they have openly admitted that they are unable to furnish the information.
20) I have received an email from Vodafone which clearly mentions that my services on Number [protected] were started on 22/03/2012. (Vodafone Service Request Number:[protected].)
21) This again proves my point that the above mentioned bills raised by Reliance for Period 25/03/2012 onward is illegal as at that time I was no longer their customer.
22) Complaint No 'Reliance=[protected]' and 'Reliance=[protected]' have also been made.

Reliance Communication — wrong sms billing

My mobile no. is [protected]. I am a customer of reliance communications since jan 2003. I got my post-paid connection converted to prepaid about 6 months back, and got a rs.14/- sms pack activated on my connection in which iam charged a rental of re.1/- per day & I get to make 500 sms per day. This afternoon my balance was rs.1.26 and i got my connection recharged for rs.100/- full talktime. Subsequently i sent many sms, and then when i dialed *225 to check the balance, I was shocked to see my balance as rs.23/-, wherein I have not made a single call after getting my mobile recharged. When I called the customer care, one GYANESHWAR attended my call, but was unable to answer my querries. So on my request, he transferred my call to his supervisor MUNIRAJ,who said my balance was just 29 paise, and not rs.1.29, as was communicated to me on the IVR recording on*225. Further he said the minimum balance needed to be re.1/- for the sms pack to continue to be activated. I argued that my balance was rs.1.29 when I got my phone recharged. He refused to listen to my query and kept repeating the same thing over & over again. When I asked him to transfer the call to his manager, he VERY RUDELY REFUSED TO TRANSFER. Can anything be done about the money i have lost in sms for which I have not been at fault? AND SECONDLY, CAN ANY ACTION BE TAKEN AGAINST MUNIRAJ FOR REFUSING RUDELY TO TRANSFER THE CALL TO HIS MANAGER?
