Tata DoCoMo Complaints & Reviews

On dated 31st Mar. 2010, I sent following mail to docomo customer services.

Mail to Docomo

Oh dear, Without touching my mobile, IPL services has been activating on my mobile.

Today (31 Mar 2010), Post lunch around 2:00 pm. I locked (Keypad) my
mobile put it in my pocket. Apx. 3:30 pm, I received a sms in my mailbox
written, "U have been registerd for IPL services & Rs. 10 has been
deducted".

When I called customer care, they replied. "How it has been activated" not
updated in their system.

According to them, I have sent a request for it. They said, a flash
massage appeared on my mobile & I pressed ok.

For your information, according to your data. service activated time was
3:01 pm. (Half an hour before, I touched my locked mobile).

They also said, I will call them back after 6 by evening, most probably,
they can see in system, how it been activated.

Surprisingly, customer have to call again & again for rectification of
undone error. I want answer of my following questions.

-> Who has said to sent flash massages to customer mobile ?

-> How IPL Service activated has activated on my mobile ?

-> How I can get back Rs. 10 on my mobile ?

I will not tolerate this kind of error. Better to clear my problem as soon
as possible.

I am using this number ([protected]) from past a year & never faced any
problem. I had have a good expereice with docomo. I hope you will not
disappoint me regarding this issue.
Pls reply.

End

They respond that, from mobile they received request for it & we can't refund my amount.

I thought I have no physical documents to prove this & it was just a Rs. 10 issue. No one believe in this case.

My question is, Lets suppose, they sent flesh massages in mobile & button has been pushed with a pressure. But who said to sent flesh massage to customer mobile without request ?

IInd time sent following mail to docomo on dated 05 April 2010. (Two days before than deduction of another Rs. 10 from mobile).

Mail to Docomo

Now I don't want any further deduction of amount from my mobile balance.

Yesterday, I called customer care & asked a question. How to close this
service ? He replied, use *444*011#.

I tried (4-5 times) yesterday, but it didn't work & shown msg "Try
Again.....". Even today I tried & same msg came on my mobile.

Again I called customer care, now she suggested me, try to call on
54321194. When I calling on this number, a tape is running on & asking
about just two following question :

"For daily cricket combo pack press 1"
"For monthly pack press 2"

I don't understand why this is happening. Above questions not giving
clearity that its for activating services or deacvating services.

Also, I want to deactivate "weekly plan" (which activated without
request) instead of daily or monthly.

Now, she has written complain & number is PGSR 09033229.
I hope this time, charges wouldn't be deduct for further week.

Can you people look further on this ?
Pls reply.

End

On dated 7 April 2010, After deduction of another Rs. 10 from mobile I sent following
Mail to docomo

Today, another week charges of Rs.10 has been deducted from mobile.

Now, who is responsible for it ?

Past three days, I am continuously following this waist of time issue, to
deactivate this service before deduction more money from mobile.

But instead of to get out from this problem, I am continuosly losing money
from mobile.

Dharmendra (your Executive), given me assurance that it will be refunded
within a day.

Can I expect this assurance ?

End

They have taken too much time to solve my problem. I lost my money from mobile again. Today on 9 april 2010. They called me & said, we will not refund your money.

Pls suggest what can I do in this case, because docomo are least bother & not listen my problem.

no network found my no: is [protected] my cell is all ok other sims work also other networks are available please help

i am already a buddynet member and my balance always got deducted when i surf facebook and orkut thorough mobile. though as stated officialy its free. several times it happens, i call customer care they are saying different thing at different time. this is fustrating my balance reduces dramatically every time i surf facebook and orkut. and no one helps me!

i already complaint them and they told me that only home page of i.e only my profile page is free if i view any other pages then they will cut my balance. when i try to said that if i visit other profile or write something in wall then it is also within the same site so why balance cut? they said no that is external link how ridiculous they dont know the meaning of domain/subdomain or external link. and last but not the least when i try to said this they cut my phone and send 2 sms from customer care that is your complaint no xxxxx is successfully resolver you have been charged according to tariff so no balance refund and 2nd sms hope you are satisfied with our resolution.

satisfy? when they did not even listen and cut the ph of customer then a customer become satisfied? and the technial part they told me seems like joke but its true.
it is so pathetic that they are triciking customer ( if what they said only home profile page is free but in official website it said those sites surfing are free for buddynet) for money!

so my two cents please stay away from this operator they tricks ur & fooled us and deduct our money. i have never see any co like this.
bye bye god bless you and your cheater company.

1st april 2010 I activate GPRS pack Rs. 5.

But after the free usage 10MB I was charged for additional usage on
that day @ 1p/1Kb instead of 1p/20Kb and Rs. 75.20 deducted from my
account for additional usage of 7 - 8MB(maximum).

This is with reference to GSM mobile service availed from TATA DOCOMO Mobile Service Providers, which was barred due to over limit usage on my (Relationship No :[protected]. A payment of Rs- 1000/- was made on 6th April 2010 with the Transaction number being - : MICI[protected].
As per the confirmation on mail from TATA Docomo, my services were to be restored within 07-Apr 2010 17:41 Hrs.
In-spite of repeated reminders my services are not been restored.

Request you to look into this Case, as it has been o[censored]tter Humiliation & Disrespect as the usage of mobile service is an integral part of my profession.

This is my personal docomo number on which i'm facing horrible network problem since 26th march 2010. I'm getting full signal bars & i'm unable to make a call. Constantly, i'm getting an error message- ERROR IN CONNECTION, when i try to make a call. Whenever somebody calls me, he gets a network reply that Subscriber you are calling is out of coverage area, eventhough i'm in full network. When i'm move to other locality, it works fine.
I called the cust. care several times, but again & again, they are repeating- 'We are working on your problem.'

I want to know that is the officials responsible are sleeping??? Haraam ka khane ki aadat pad gayi hai??

I also go in consumer court if this problem is not resolved.

Dear sir/madam,

I am a customer of Tata Docomo's GSM based mobile service for a past few months. I was attracted to take a connection because of their new and attractive offers in tariff and talktime offers which no other competent companies havent offered that time. Despite of some signal reception troubles in my area, i was pretty happy with their connection. The customer care were quick responsive and informative.

But things went wrong a couple of weeks back. I received an OBD marketing call from Tata Docomo with a pre-recorded female voice which played a message starting with "Free Free Free". I listened to the whole message, and the content clearly said 'set a callme tune from following songs absolutely free without any rent or downloading charges for 15 days. After 15 days i will be charged Rs 15 per month and so..' and played a list of 3 or 4 songs followed by a prompt to press a button to select needed song. I waited till end of the message, and pressed 8 to select the Malayalam movie song "Anuraga Vilochananayi" which is the last option in the list. After confirmation, the call ended with a thanks.

After some seconds the call had ended, two messages rushed into my inbox. I am posting the exact content of messages right here.

Message 1 : "Thank You for subscribing to Callme tunes.Rs.18 has been charged for 18 days.Dial 543211 for more songs.Charges:Free for first 30 secs & 5p/sec thereafter"

Sender : 543211
Sent : 12:46:31pm

Message 2 : "Thank you for downloading Anuraaga. Rs 15 has been charged for the song. To download more songs call 543211. First 30sec free & 5p/sec thereafter"

Sender : 543211
Sent : 12:46:32pm

I was totally clueless about what is happening. Because i selected the song by pressing the button because their OBD call promised me i can enjoy "Free callme tunes for 15 days without rent and downloading charge". I was told that i will be charged ONLY if i continue the callme tune service further after 15 days free period. But now Rs. 33 have been deducted from my account balance!

I immediately contacted the Docomo customer care, and a representative answered. I told him the above story and after gathering information about me he told me to hold the line for a few seconds so that he will check for information and return back to me. After a few minutes the representative returned to me asking apology and said that he found i had got a wrong OBD call message from them. I told him it is okay, no problem but take steps return the decucted money back to my account balance. The customer care representative told me that he will surely note a complaint and forward it to their concern department so my problem will be solved within 2 days. He also asked me another number to contact and i gave him my another(Airtel) number. I asked him to give me a complaint request reference number and he immediately gave me the number which was :

"GBL09122777".


The second day, March 14th i received a call from a lady from Docomo. She asked me details about my complaint and i repeated whatever i told to the customercare representative and gave her the complaint request reference number. She assured me that my complaint is accepted and i will be having my problem solved soon. I asked her to tell an estimated time span required to get this issue solved and she told that they cannot say any time but my problem will be solved shortly. I reminded her that problem is from Docomo's side and not from my side and the customer care representative himself had admitted it. So, it is not fair to take long to solve this problem. She promised me it wont go longer anymore and i will be provided with solution soon.

Days passed, and no one contacted me back. I called to customer care inorder to enquire how things are progressing. I provided the representative my details and complaint reference number. The representative put me on hold and went for fetching details about my complaint and came back saying the complaint had closed and i was charged properly.

I argued with him repeating the previous story and he said "Sorry sir but we cannot do anything other than this, we have only this much information so i will transfer this call to a senior." I told him that i am at my office now so i cannot hold for long, but i will wait if he can transfer within a shot time. But he said he cannot assure me about the time to connect and asked me whether i can call after office time or not.I said ok and called customer care at evening. I told the representative about my problem and requested for transfer to senior department. I holded on call. After 4 minutes on hold my call got automatically disconnected. I tried again and again my call got disconnected after 4 minutes.

Later one day i got transferred to the senior department, and he said that i am charged correctly and hence i cannot be refunded back. I argued with him but all in vein. He repeatedly said that i will not be refunded and the conversation ended with me helpless and losing my talktime value of Rs. 33 for no reason.

I was cheated, and by that time already 8 days had passed after i registered a complaint with their customer care. I decided to complain about this in consumer complaint forum and bring this cheating into light and into the public so more people and customers will be aware of this type of fake and cheap tricks of cheating customers and extracting money illegally from their account balance.

Dear sir/madam, the OBD call clearly told me call me tune service would be free for next 15 days without rent and downloading charges, and i need to pay only if i continue to use the service after 15 days of free usage. Also i selected the last song only after hearing entire OBD call message. So, in which circumstance did this company - Tata Docomo did charged Rs. 33 from my account balance? Their customer care executive himself admitted it was a mistake from their part and i got a false OBD marketing message and he asked apology to me. They can check the recorded voice call logs of 12th March from my number([protected]) to customer care to verify whether i am lieing or not. Isnt this cheating? I as a customer had only positive reviews about Tata Docomo's services until this event. But now i feel i'm cheated and fooled by the company. I cannot further recommend their service to any person whom i knows. Strict actions should be taken against these type of companies who treats their customers as fools. Am i guilty by taking a Tata Docomo connection? I strongly believe appropriate action will be taken to get my problem resolved and assure no other customers will face this kind of scamming from this company in the future.

With Regards,
Jithin PG.

Hello ! i am a new tata docomo mumbai user. i am facing a network problem all around my area .i am not getting network at my place.so it has become an issue here.we are unable to make and receive calls here ,messages are also getting delivered very late.so i request DOCOMO people to implant a tower near by our area so that communication gets easy.other providers like aircel,idea,loop,reliance gsm are giving full network stregnth.so if your problem continues for long time then we are sorry to say good bye to docomo .i called costumer service center at 121 but they gave me a stupid and non-sense answer .that is why i am placing complaint over here.

For your convenience i am attaching a snap shot of my mobile screen taken all around my area.

HOPE MY PROBLEM GETS SOLVED BY YOU SOON

I purchased a Tata Docomo Sim ([protected]) from Shiva Communications, Potheri, Dist-Kancheepuram and submitted all the documents like college ID, Photo to the retailer.

One day i received the confirmation call from customer care they told me that my connection is issued on some other persons name and they told me to submit the documents once again to the retailer otherwise the outgoing call will be barred. I once again submitted the documents to the retailer on[protected].
Now from[protected] my outgoing has been barred when i contacted the very helpful customer care of DOCOMO(knows nothing except saying sorry and hanging up the call) they told me that my documents has not been submitted yet and to reactivate my outgoing i have to re submit my documents to the retailer. When i contacted the retailer he told me that he has already submitted the documents to the company guy who visits his shop to collect the documents. On contacting to company guy he told that he has already submitted the documents to the company on[protected].
Today when i again went to the retailer he told me that there is some problem in the sim so it will not work and asked me to purchase a new DOCOMO sim.

There is no co operation from neither the retailer or the customer service team of TATA DOCOMO to get my service restored.
I opted for this service because of the brand name of TATA.
But after taking the connection i feel so guilty, i can't describe.
i seriously regret the day i opted for tatadocomo.
Now i lost my hope with tata and i understood that this is the policy of
tata docomo to give worst service to customers.
