Dr Bhaswati Konar Complain regarding Samsung mobile Galaxy A8
Dear Sir,
I had bought a Samsung mobile A800[[protected]](EZ8G904ZDIR) on 26th Dec 2015 from Exult Agency, Unit: Joy Electronics, 23, G T Road Burdwan, 713101, on 26th Dec 2015.( Vide Invoice No:JE/SM/03015/15-16, dated 26.Dec 2015). I was explained that I could use with 2 sim cards . The 2nd port being optional. As I am in need o[censored]sing 2 Sim cards I opted for the set. I was already using one Galaxy S 4 Mini. The sim card in this set was of micro size. As the Agency was a Franchise of Samsung they had the arrangement to cut the sim into nano size which was required for the new set, Galaxy A8. I already said I had two Sim Cards. The Vodafone Sim they could cut to nano form, but was unable to cut the Bsnl sim card as the wires were getting cut. So they put the Voda Sim card in Sim 1 port and demonstrated the working condition of the set. But they did not Check the second port, but advised me to get the micro sim card of Cell one to change from the Bsnl Office.
Now, the next day being Sunday 27th, when i went to their office I was told that nano sim was not available, to return by next week. Little did I know that this delay was going to cause trouble. Ultimately I was able to procure the nano sim on the 13th Jan 2016, and I went to the Samsung Mobile Shop, (Exult Agency) for them to introduce the card for me. As I myself am not that savvy in this sector. I am 63 year old Lady Doctor. The Samsung attendant in the shop found that the port was not accepting the Sim Card. On exchanging it with the Voda Sim card which was already in the working status in the Sim 1 port, it was still not working.
I was told that the set had to be taken to the Customer Care . It was taken to them on the same day. The next I was reported that the 2nd port was defective and it will take at least 7 days.
Sir, I had only bought a mobile handset, of the highest flagship range, I myself had not used the second port due to the reasons explained above. so I requested a change of the set . They said according to company norms if I had come back within 7 days they could change it but now not possible. The customer care informed me that the Mother Board needs a change. So if that is so, I sincerely request a change of the set. At present the set is with the customer care.
The set cost me RS 30, 500.00. It is not any of the lower models. So due to a fault in the set why should I be forced to take a faulty set, with no fault or neglect on my part.
I should be very much obliged if you kindly see into the matter at your earliest and oblige.
Thanking You,
Yours Truly
