[Resolved]  Vodafone — Address proof

My native place is hyderabad and recently shifted to mumbai.
After so long enquiry, on jan-10 2009, i have taken new prepaid connection from vodafone in Mumbai.
Its life time free.
I have submmited photocopy of passport as address proof and also signed declaration form instead of submitting local address proof.
I was told within 2 days all the enquiries to be completed.

After 7 days I recharged my mobile with Rs.305.

To my horror. I received so many messages in the last 10 days.
The connection is nolonger life time free. It is valid upto 2014 only if for every 6 months, i have to recharge for Rs.200.
Then I got SMS form vodafone to submit the local address proof withing 48 hrs. If failed, the connection will get deactivated.

When i approached local vodafone centre, they mislead me and told it is mandatory to submit the local address proof and the same is mentioned in vodafone kit, which comes along with new connection.
They also told that all mobile services are made it mandatory.I also inquired other mobile services like airtel, tata. They told signing a declaration form is sufficient.

I called up customer care center couple of times for the help . They told if my company is reputed company, then company Id card is sufficient as local address proof. But local vodafone centre refused to accept the same.

Now my number is deactivated.
