Vodafone — Call Center agent sold me 2G Plan though offered 3G

Address:West Bengal

I have purchased a Vodafone 3G data card with 599 unlimited plan on 15th April 2011 from sales call by Vodafone executive. The number for the same is [protected]. Call Center executive sold me 2G Plan, though offered me 3G initially. The service was activated on 18th April 2011. But i realized that the there was no network for 3G and the internet speed was terribly low. So i called the customer care at 111 and i was shocked when executive informed me that i have to buy a new 3G plan as i got 2G unlimited 599 plan. When I purchased the data card I was very specific in saying that I want a 3G data card with 3G plan and the executive told me that we have a 599 unlimited plan for 3G and i will get the same for the life time. The executive convinced me that i will get 3G unlimited for 599. If I would have known that this is not a 3G plan I would have never bought this. I told them I don’t want this data card and i want my Rs. 1600/- back which they charged me for the same
After i mailed this to complaint department of Vodafone and they replied that i have to buy new 3G plan and no refund will be made.

I want to spread awareness to every consumer so that they do not suffer the same fate which i'm going through.

I will not pay the bill as i'm not using the data card for any purpose. Please help me find justice.
