[Resolved]  Matrix (Cellular Services) — Unfair Charges Levied on Sim Card provided

Address:Mumbai City, Maharashtra

Dear Sir/Madame,

This has reference to my experience with Matrix cellular services. The chronology of events is as follows:
1. I purchased forex and sim card through Matrix Services Ms. Surabhi Singh (Sr Business Development Executive) on 6th May 2013.
2. I was provided with a simcard in a small poly-pouch with an instructions document and advised on how to activate it when in Singapore (my city of travel)
3. On enquiry if the sim were single use , I was told by Ms Singh that these are recycled
4. On arrival at Singapore on 7th evening at around 9 pm when I tried to put the card in my phone the same broke (the chip came off)
5. For that entire evening I was not connected to my family in India and the next day I had to activate my roaming with my Vodafone number.
6. For my entire stay in Singapore I "could not use" the Matrix sim card since it was broken.
7. On return , in the following week of 14th to 19th May, I got a call from the customer contact centre of Matrix and I narrated my problem to them, but there was no action.
8. Today I got an sms from the company that they are levying charges on my card !
9. When i called up Ms Singh to share this - she said" These charges YOU will Have to Pay!"
10. I feel cheated and utterly surprised by this behavior and unfair charges. Ms singh said these are rental charges- rental charges for a broken sim!

My request to this esteemed forum is to help me get my money back and take appropriate action against this service provider.


Kind Regards
Dr. Shivani Sarwal
