To,
M/s Nokia India Pvt. Ltd.,
Sir,
Sub: problems in my Nokia Mobile Phone Instrument.
At the start itself, I plead with you, Sir, for a patient reading of this very long and detailed letter.
I had purchased a NOKIA 225 mobile phone on 09.08.2015. The warranty is upto 08.08.2016. The phone had a one-year warranty.
The IMEI Numbers of the NEW Instrument were:
[protected] and
[protected]
Unfortunately, the new instrument was not functioning properly, with the battery charge was not holding beyond 4 to 6 hrs
I therefore surrendered it to your service centre, M/s Delight Solutions, a NOKIA PRIORITY centre located at Ground Floor of Ashoka Bhoopal Chambers, Sardar Patel Road, Secunderabad, State of Telengana, India. .
After a week, I was informed by them that, the problems could not be resolved, and, the instrument has been sent to Nokia Works. I therefore did not press for further details. I do not know, to which manufacturing unit, my phone was sent. Definitely, it might not be Chennai Plant, which was closed in 2014.
After a fortnight, they called me and gave me a “FREE REPLACEMENT†225 INSTRUMENT, and told me that, the details are entered in their system, and that there would be no problem. The IMEI numbers of the “free replacement†are:
[protected]
[protected]
[I regret that I am not able to recollect the date] But it was well within the warranty period of one year.
They advised me that, it is a FREE REPLACEMENT, and I accepted it, in good trust & faith that it is a NEW replacement phone, and NOKIA will never let their customers down. Delight Solutions also assured me that, the replacement numbers have been entered in their “system†and there is no problem
I confess that my knowledge about the mobile phones is "zero" and the 225 is the first phone, in my life, purchased from my meagre resources. I bought it because of the size of the screen [2.8"] needed for Sr.Citizens like me.
Though the performance of the “free replacement†instrument was not very satisfactory, I managed to use the instrument, as the battery charge held on for at least one day. That is why, I did not give any feed back to Delight Solutions. . Being a conservative old man, I handled the instrument with great care and avoiding all shocks and vibrations.
Only a couple of days back, I tried to open the back cover, to insert a extra memory card, I discovered that the back cover is broken and the broken portion appeared to have been camouflaged..
I also subsequently tried to find out, from the various web-sites, whether the "REPLACEMENT" instrument, given by your office is new or an used instrument. But I failed in ascertaining this fact.
I also understand that, from the IMEI numbers on the replacement Nokia 225 instrument, [which are much earlier to the IMEI numbers on my new phone, surrendered to your good office] it is clear that it is a very old phone, and is a refurbished one.
Had I known earlier that Delight is giving a refurbished old Nokia 225 in place of a brand new 225, I would have taken up the matter with delight. For my sleeping over this matter, I blame only myself and not Delight, which is a Nokia Priority centre. . But my genuine doubt is whether Delight have given me an OLD, USED AND REFURBISHED NOKIA 225 AS FREE REPLACEMENT, just as a formality of warranty replacement.
I do not and cannot find fault with Delight Solutions, because I did not ask for proper records of the replacement details, as I relied on the assurances of Delight Solutions. I fully admit my lapse on this part.
However, I place the matter before Nokia for a clarification and help me to solve this “replacement†problem. I have full trust and confidence on the Nokia reputation and trustworthiness.
I plead with you to investigate this matter and help me.
Yours faithfully,
M.BALACHANDRAN
