[Resolved] Vodafone — SMS pack deactivation without my permission and i was not informed about the same | |
Vodafone number: [protected](Punjab) Below is the complaint that I sent to the vodafone people. You would be able to understand the actual issue. "Hi I just checked my bill and found that I was charged for the SMSs that I send for almost the whole month. My SMS pack was not working. I don’t know how it got deactivated. And the worst part is that even if it was deactivated nobody bothered to inform me. This is ridicules. I have always found problems with the billing. You have 2 days to sought it out. I WILL NOT PAY THE CHARGES FOR SMS AT ANY COST. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PAYING MY BILLS ON TIME AND THEY ARE RARELY BELOW 1000. NOW I AM REALLY FED UP AND I FEEL I HAVE BEEN TOO NICE WITH YOU GUYS IN THE PAST. PLEASE HELP!!! Best Regards Mohit Agarwal Technical Support Executive Sebiz Infotech Ltd., Mohali Mob: [protected] Email: [protected]@sebiz.net" They replied: "Dear Mr. Agarwal, Thank you for your email dated 13/11/07 regarding mobile number [protected]. We would like to confirm you that no SMS waiver is applicable on mobile number [protected] as the same is running under Talk -275 Plan wherein we are already offering the benefit of 200 local messages. Hence SMS 50 pack can not be opted with this Tariff Plan. The docket numbers for your future reference are[protected]. We hope, we have been able to resolve your concern to your satisfaction. However, in case you need further assistance, do call or email us. We'll do our best to assist you. Warm regards, Vodafone Care Contact numbers* Vodafone Care : 111 or +91-[protected] (Toll free from Vodafone mobile phones within the home network) Fax number : +91-[protected] E-mail : care.[protected]@vodafone.com Website : www.vodafone.in " Now what amazes me is that they say I can use the SMS50 pack with Talk-275 plan whereas this pack was working for around 2 months with this very plan. They deactivated it without informing me and I was charged for the SMS for the whole month. My billing cycle is from 10th to 9th of next month. The deactivated my sms pack on 12th Oct, though as per there policies an sms pack can not be deactivated within the billing cycle but only at the month end. Their statements are contradictory to their own policies. I am waiting for some response from them, but I know they won't provide me with a waiver of Rs 400 at this moment where I am paying the remaining bill of Rs 1100. And when I would request for a disconnection or go to Consumer Forum, they would be paying much more than that. Was this information helpful? | |

Hi,
If you see the trailing mails below, its been 11 days since I logged in a complaint and a request to stop the services but to my extreme disappointment, it has still not been deactivated and Vodafone is continuing to deduct my balance each and everyday. I fail to understand does a company like Vodafone fills its pocket by cheating its customers like this.
Please treat this as my last mail. I am getting my connection deactivated if I do not get a message for deactivating of service today.
Thanks
Ritika

I am sorry to say but I am very very disappointed with your services till date. This has not happened for the 1st time that VAS services have been activated without my consent. Please let me know if you have any proof of my conversation or sms regarding my interest for activating this service. By the way, its been a week since I have been requesting for deactivating this service. Please read the trailing mails below. Why do you write within 48hrs when you cannot even fulfill the service in a week's time.
Please deactivate this pack else will have to put up a request soon for deactivating vodafone's service altogether.
Thanks
