Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

Hi, I have requested vodafone customercare to deactivate my postpaid number several times and no one is taking any action on it. I am currently out of india and i have submitted all the required documents to deactivate my account through online as well as sent documents to vodafone store but they are not taking any actions on this. My Email id is even wrongly registered at their end and sent mail through my right email id. Now i talked to customer care and now they are telling, next month' bill has been generated so i have to pay that. This is totally cheating with customer. They want to take money from customer doing fraud as it is their fault not to take action on right time. Please help me on this. My Post paid no# [protected] Email iD: [protected]@yahoo.co.in

HI, I had requested for porting my number from BSNL to Vodafone on 19th August and the request is not yet completed. Now I am not able to use my number as its showing No service on the BSNL sim card, when i insert Vodafone sim as well, its showing the same message, Kindly resolve .

I don't know if I need to address someone or not, so I am starting it directly. The worst service provider I have ever experienced. I don't know why they call it Customer Care Service, is it sarcastic way of saying, because in any case when you speak to the executives regarding your problems they behave like they are actually doing favor on you and they don't even know the meaning of care. Some people does not even mind saying that "No senior is available right now, so either you go to vodafone store or call up after 9 a.m.( what a good 24 hours service) and also to make the CUSTOMER feel CARED they say "Don't Worry Ma'am we will arrange a call back to you within 2 hours"( the call never ever comes to you). Just one thing want to understand when it comes on Money(Though INR. 250/- is not a big deal in today's world) they send there executive at your place to take it on the same day but when it comes on service they are just too worst that they take a week of time in place of 72 hours. Now I am feeling that it was my mistake to ask the company to make my number Prepaid to Post paid. If anybody from the company would contact me at [protected]@gmail.com and assist me with the same, I think they would at least do a bit justice to their favourite word(CUSTOMER CARE service).

Every day I am receiving call from various international number like [protected], [protected]. I can not identify those number. What should I do? I am not comfort with those number. Please help me out from this situation. Waiting from your positive reply.

copy of the email sent to vodafonecare.[protected]@vodafone.in Dear Sir/Madam, This is about one of the worst experience i had with your Vodafone Store in S R Nagar, Went to different places but such behaviour i have not seen in a Customer facing environment... I really thank your team for having such Employees... Manager: Vamsi Krishna Recharge Agent: Rahul Store: S R Nagar Branch Story: I went to the store to recharge with an offer received to my Wife's mobile number 779917xxxx Offer Message: Talk anywhere in India for free with RC 799. Get ALL local and STD calls free on Rc 799 recharge for 4 weeks. Hurry up! Offer valid till 25th Aug When i enquired about this with Rahul he said i have to get it recharged on the day we receive the message but i told him as the message says Offer valid till 25th August. Then he said he will do the recharge but he is not going to assure that the offer will be applied or not and I have to come back to the store and sort out the money as you have to do it on the day you receive the message only I asked what could be the reasons i might not receive the recharge or any other things, He was VERY VERY RUDE and said i only take recharges and bill payments you can take a token and go to service counters and get that information. I said well it would be nice if you can go to them speak and get it done. He was Rude and spoke to me in a Very high voice. Also he was arguing you can go to any outside shops and get the recharge done. I asked if that was the case what is the difference between Vodafone store and outside recharge dealers. He was happy for me going to outside shops rather than serving me in proper manner Manager Vamsi Krishna Came in and spoke to the agent and even he was rude in explaining things to me. He was threatening to me if you want service keep quite. As a customer i definitely would like to raise my concern with higher people so i was still talking about the issue but the manager was Do you want service or not ???? This kind of approach would definitely irritate the customers and i in angry voice used bad word about Rahul for which i apologized straight away. (there were number of customers available in store) Even after that Manager was even rude and asked me to get out of the store. Another customer came in to speak in favour of me but even then the Manager was not in a position to listen he was still the same and only saying if you want service you need to be quite. Finally i would like to say We would like to move to another provider which, Can you please let me know the details, procedure etc involved in making this process simpler. Can you please get this resolved as soon as possible i feel its waste of spending even a single penny on a company where they care nothing about this customers and are rude Thanks, Vamsi

What kind of service is this that it got activated on its own and it knew that i was going to port our in the coming month, Well now i understand that you people bought me an internet pack worth 1599. And i am not going to pay for i did not ask for Well i know that i have to port out and i already had a 1gb data plan active on mobile number then why did you avtivate the 1599 plan.

Besides self, my entire family uses vodafone & the network is becoming a huge challenge due to which we're considering a decision to port out to another service provider. We had strong signals for all these years however its close to nil as of now. We have visited the VF gallery & also submitted a complaint 3 weeks ago however it hasnt improved. My address is: Flat No. 5, Marble Arch, Central Avenue, Santacruz (West), Mumbai - 400054. Request your immediate assistance on this issue failing which you would lose multiple loyal customers soon. Best regards, Amit Joshi

I had a miserable day with vodafone customer care today to get my issue with Data Sim sorted. I have a data sim [protected] which I use to connect to internet using Vodafone MIFI device (R205). I got a recharge of Rs. 649 yesterday on this number. I tried to connect to internet with mifi device today but I was not able to open any site. After many tries, I was able to open google page but no other site was opening. I can confirm that my MIFI device is working fine as it is working fine with other sim [protected]. So issue is definitely with number [protected] and no one in Customer Care was understanding that. Please find below summary of my experience with Customer care today against the ref no. I wasted 1 hr 15 mines with customer care with no resolution. 1. Ref No [protected] -A call was made to UP East Customer Care number [protected] from my postpaid number. After taking all required details of problem, the advisor said that you have been connected to Postpaid Department. I asked them to transfer my call to prepaid department. They advised that they can't perform internal transfers and asked me call on IVR again and choose right option to get connected to Prepaid department. There is no such option on IVR that allows me to connect to Prepaid department directly. 2. Ref No [protected] - I dialed 198 but since my number[protected] was a Maharashtra Postpaid no call connected to Maharashtra Customer Care. The advisor suggested he can't help me with the request as problem reported is with Vodafone UP East Number. 3. Ref not available as got call disconnected - I dialed with the prepaid number [protected], Data Sim with which I am having issue, putting it in mobile. Call connected to prepaid UP East Department. The advisor, Miss Mishra, suggested that she can't transfer my call to GPSR department as I am not connected to MIFI device with the prepaid sim. She suggested me below options: a. Try to call from another local prepaid no and Data sim connected to MIFI device - I can't because I was out of station b. She asked me to call from any other service provider number- I can't as I was only having two vodafone numbers that too Postpaid c. She then suggested to call with my postpaid number only and ask postpaid department to connect me to Data Service Department. I said postpaid department has already denied with internal transfer. She insisted that they will connect, if not please ask them to connect you to Senior Member of Customer care. After a long discussion with no solution call got disconnected. 4. Ref No [protected] - Following suggestion from my previous call, I again made a call from my postpaid number and asked advisor to connect me to Data Service Department. She said GPRS department is not ready to take call and they have advised that this needs to be taken care by backend team. Now she asked me to provide a number so that backend team can make an outbound call. I provided my number [protected] but she said it’s an outside location number so they will not be able to make call from URL or something. I asked what the next alternative is; she said outbound call with outside number can be picked in max 2 days. I said can't we get it prioritized. She said it’s a protocol it will take max 2 days. Then I told, I have been with my request since last 1 hr now and it looks things are rolling from one department to another with no appropriate conclusion. I requested to get my money back. She said then I need to call from my prepaid sim to request prepaid department for getting my money refunded. 5. Ref No. [protected] - I called to prepaid department for refunding my money. The advisor said there is no such provision of money refund. He advised to wait for two days or they can't help further. After having a long conversation regarding my customer care experience with advisor, I was left with no other options to wait for two days. The reference number for my request to addressed in max two days is [protected]. I am a vodafone customer since 5 years now and this is the response I get from Vodafone. I am was just feeling like a fool over the conversation I had with advisors. Could you please register this complaint and let me know that this is the expected experience of a customer with Vodafone customer care?

I am using [protected] for the last many years and I have a caller tuner which people hear when they call me and feel happy. It is flute classic. All of sudden I find on 20th this was changed without my request at all. I contacted your office on 21st four to five times and wasted my almost 3-4 hours without any success. The worst part was when one Ms.Renu asked me to wait and I was forces to listen your advertisement for 15-20 minutes and line was disconnected. Same thing happened with another person--I am forgetting the name. Third time than one nice fellow Vijay came on the line and said he will call back--but no call. Instead another person gives me a call and asked me to give 24-48 hours to reinstate the called tune. Just got fed up. My request was and is very simple: I have been using a specific caller tune for so many years, I am happy with that and am paying for that every month. Why did you change it without my request and why it is taking so long to reinstate it. It is 4 days now. PLEASE REINSTATE MY CALLER TUNE IMMEDIATELY as I have to explain every time a friend of mine gives me call & get confused.

I am thinking of shifting to another provider. anyone facing a similar problem Which is the best provider in Bangalore?

Hi Consumer Forum This is regarding two complaints and poor response from vodafone corpcare that I am writing this email to you. I have all the email comm as evidence. 1. Wrong charges for internet usage : I got international roaming activated on my number [protected] around 15 Aug. When my phone was switched of in Singapore and not used much (crosschecked with device) in Australia, I have been charged for 10 MB usage more than 5000 rs. Time and again I have been asking that these are not correct charges, corpcare just comes back saying "its for internet usage in singapore and australia" . I dont agree as it was not used at all. I am not being suggested any way to resolve this even after so many comms. I have been getting template responses from corpcare. 2. Wrong monthly charges after change of plan : I got plan changed for both my numbers [protected]/90 on the same call and have got email confirmation of that change also with me. While one number was changed to EZTALK125 only as specified other number ([protected]) is being charged extra with data plan dialer tune etc even when I clearly instructed that I wanted etalk 125 only. I have been trying to get it resolved with corpcare but to no avail. Please help. Regards Abhinav

I have vodafone postpaid number from last more than 1 year in the name of my mother. I want to convert that vodafone postapaid number into vodafone prepaid number. Number of times I called customer care for doing this but at last they adviced me to visit nearest vodafone store. I visited vodofone store firstly in the month of July. One of the employee of store adviced me to come with the documents during my biling cycle dates. Now my biling cycle date is 19 to 20 then according again I visited vodafone store yesterday 21.08.2014 for converting my postpaid number to prepaid. Now they told me to come with your mother and with original documents then only they convert my number else you shut your number by calling cust care on 111. They cannot do anything . As my mother is not well and she is not in position to go anywhere they people even dont want to understand my problem and adviced me to call 111 for shut my number asap. First tym I have such a bad experience with vodafone. I never adviced anyone for taking vodafone as for such a short process they give lots of trouble. Vodafone store at Navyug Market Ghaziabad is worst among all ghaziabad stores. Employees are not conscious and even they have not time to attend customers for there queries as well. please help me as my mother is not able to visit store and vodafone is not ready to resolve my issue. I want your help and i know this you definitely provide your assistance for the same.
