Respected Sir/Mam

APPLICATION FOR RE-ACTIVATION OF PREPAID MOBILE SERVICE[protected]

I would like to share the mis happening faced by me from Vodafone prepaid services.

I was utilizing the postpaid connection of Vodafone since June 2009 and applied for conversion of post paid plan to prepaid connection on 15.05.2010 after paying all the outstanding due as on the application date and submitted the required documents as per the staff personnel, with a request to continue the same contact no. i.e.[protected].
The plan has been activated after 2 days and it was permanently closed/deactivated without my permission on 24.05.2010. The company had not informed me the reason of disconnection of the same, either by email, SMS or written letter. I would like to know, how the company has discontinued the services without sending the hard copy of intimation to the correspondence address?
I had consulted and activated the service from VASHI branch, Navi Mumbai and on the same day I personally met Mr. Washim (Branch In charge) for the same and signed all the documents as per the signature in the ID proof provided (Pan Card) which was acceptable by the branch and was signed as per the Pan Card signature proof. In fact Mr. Washim had consulted the back office operation team for some queries and after his confirmation he assured of service activated without any problem. Even than the connection has been permanently deactivated after a week without any intimation and now the branch persons are saying the number has been recycled and cannot be returned back. I need the justification for the same? I had contacted Mr. Vipul, Ms. Aarti and two more persons for solving this matter at Vashi branch.

At the mean time I was out of station from 17.05.2010 to 24.06.2010. Since 24.06.2010 I and one of my friend continuously approaching the branch but till date I did not have the number reactivated with remaining balances.

We had visited the Vashi Branch 4-5 days continuously since 24.6.2010 but are helpless to get the solution. No single person is having the solution for the same nor are they capable enough to solve the matter. In fact every person is saying they are forwarding the mails, but there are no satisfactory answers from their end.
I am suffering a lot because of this disconnection. I request you to look on to the matter. I remember there was balance left of around RS 120/- in my prepaid account. Which consist of following:

SIM Card Charge RS.29/-
Prepaid Voucher Rs.100/-
Additional recharge Voucher (from Delhi) Rs.100/-
Top up Voucher- to reduce tariff Rs. 61/-
_______________
Rs. 290/- + other if any
_______________

This is an unfair activity which the customer does not expect from the company. I request you to make activate my prepaid connection in the same number, without any paper formalities and without any charges to me with refund of my remaining balance as per your records.

Kindly do the needful at the earliest. For the time being you can contact me on following address:

Vodafone Prepaid Connection — Sub:. Permanent disconnection of Vodafone prepaid number .

Sub:. Permanent disconnection of Vodafone prepaid number .


I have changed my service provider from MTNL to Vodafone through Mobile
Number Portability option in the month of Feb.2011. I submitted all the
forms and documents and based on this, I received message to switch off my
mobile and put Vodafone SIM card and switch on the phone again. I did as
per the instruction and my number was successfully ported to Vodafone.
Later, I recharged my number and started using as a Vodafone customer.
After few days, my outgoing facility was blocked and I approached the
Vodafone store at Chembur, Mumbai and I was told that the outgoing has
been blocked since I have not submitted my documents. I again submitted
the fresh form with supporting documents and my connection restored based on the
newly submitted documents. Also, I received a message from Vodafone on
[protected] at 13:26:16 which states that “ Hi! Your Vodafone prepaid
enrollment form with supporting documents have been received & updated on
our systems. Thank you.”
Now again my incoming and outgoing facility stopped and in the mobile it is
showing “invalid SIM” instead of Vodafone. I contacted Vodafone and it was told that my SIM has been permanently blocked since I have not submitted my documents. It means I have lost my number.
I am now searching for answers for the following queries from Vodafone:
• How my number was ported from MTNL to Vodafone, If I have not
submitted the documents. It is not a new connection. In new connection,
the SIM will be purchased from local shop and Vodafone will not come to
know about the customer until, all the documents received. In MNP, only
after getting the clearance from Vodafone I can switch over.
• Why did Vodafone accept my application for MNP without verification of
documents?
• What happened to my documents which I have submitted alongwith MNP
application form?
• What happened to my second set of application form?
• Why did Vodafone send the message to me on[protected] saying that all the
documents received and updated on your system?
• How the MNP can be considered like a new connection?
• What happened to my balance amount with Vodafone?
I forwarded these queries to Nodal officer and Applet authority of Vodafone, Mumbai and even after several days I didn’t get any reply from both of them except an automated offer that my issue will be solved within 48 hrs.
Now I don’t know where to approach next to get my number back since I have given this number to many persons and to many offices. Please help me.
