Hi, It gives me immense displeasure to be at the receiving end of this incorrect data usage issue from a Service Provider like Vodafone. The following are the series of events that have occured to me during the course of 2 days(07-Feb-2014 and 8-Feb-2014): 1. On 8th Feb 2014, i see that my balance has reduced to a shockingly Rs. 26 something when i had a balance of Rs. 230 something the previous night. Upon calling up the customer care, i am provided the statistics that i have been charged for data usage in slots of 2 sessions; the details of which are provided below: 7-Feb-14 Session Start Session End Data used Charges incurred 11:04:56 AM 9:57:01 PM 63.85MB Rs. 130.76 9:57:53 PM 12:49:17 AM 36.59MB Rs. 74.96 When i asked for balance refund, i was told that i wont be provided that because it is getting reflected on your systems that i have used data. The reason for dispute here is that while i had used internet from Wifi, i had been charged on data(Vodafone GPRS). I was informed that when the Wifi network is low, the Vodafone systems are designed in such a way that the connection is automatically routed through Vodafone GPRS, which is a false practise. If a customer is using internet through wifi, how can a Service Provider charge him for data by automatically routing his connection without his permission. The following are the people that i talked to for this issue on the Vodafone Customer Care: Kalyan Powar Jitendra Phalke(Supervisor) Next, i called again to register for a complain. This time i interacted with Ankit, followed by Javed(Supervisor). The interaction number for the same is[protected]. When i asked to register a complain regarding this issue and provide me a complain number, they didnt do so. Then i talked to the Senior Floor Supervisor(Swapna). The Senior Floor Supervisor was not registering my complaint initially telling me that it will be ultimately closed from the back-end when they will see that the customer is asking for refund and the system is showing that the customer used internet from Vodafone Live connection. On much insistence, the senior floor supervisor registered a complaint. The complain number is [protected]. 2. In the evening, i get a prompt on my phone which says Session date: 08.02.2014 Session cost: 20.66INR Consumed Volume: 10.082MB Current Balance: 4.05INR followed by another prompt Session date: 08.02.2014 Session cost: 4.04INR Consumed Volume: 1.963MB Current Balance: 0.01INR For this instance, i hadnt used internet through any medium whatsoever; neither through Wifi nor through data. For this case, i am informed by the Vodafone authorities that "Keeping up with today’s fast paced world, data is a default service provided to customers just like Voice & SMS and there may be some backend applications on my cell phone which might consume data even though i am not connected to internet anyhow." This is a serious statement by them because: A. If that is the case, there were many instances when i hadnt been using data services from the same handset with the same setting but i wasnt charged anytime like this before. B. How can a customer be charged because of a design flaw decision that is taken by Vodafone. So finally, in a matter of 24 hours, Vodafone has deducted around 230INR. On the first interaction i am told that it can happen that when i use Wifi, there is a chance that if the network is not good, the connection is taken through Vodafone Live and it gets charged as packet data. Is it a mistake on the part of the customer that a customer has to pay for a technical design flaw on the part of Vodafone. The customer uses the Wifi and u charge him for data??? It isnt the first time that i am using Wifi. Infact, for the latter session, i used the data in full connection environment. I was getting a proper network on Wifi with the network radar at its fullest. So how can it happen that i got a low network. In the second case, both my data as well as Wifi was off. On the second interaction, i am told that there may be some third party applications that maybe using the internet even though your data is off. My data packet has been off from Jan 12 2014. Why i havent been charged before for this and how can it happen that i am charged in the name of third party applications only today??? As a loyal customer of Vodafone, this has left me flabbergasted and disappointed that how can a company charge a customer for the data that he hasnt used. I have appealed to both, the Vodafone Nodal Officer and the Appellate Authority but havent been provided any resolution about it. I hope that i will be provided a resolution on this issue as early as possible.

This company does not know how to manage the business .

Incompetent management

1. They can not send monthly bill, I received the monthly bill after 4 months for post paid connection .Customer are coming to our house and took all the details i contacted more than 30 customer service people they can not organise the bill . There is a mobile message system to get the bill . the system and message is not working .
There is no control check to check the system

2.Wrong Business practice - How many people and how long Vodafone will do wrong business practice

One customer representative come and collected Rs 500for post paid for 1299 plan at my residence changing Air tel to Vodafone He told In india 24 hours local and natioanl phone call free, When i get the bill they charge 1299 plus local charges, national calls, roaming charges, message charges monthly i am getting the bill for Rs 3000
I asked why they are charging, becuase i travelled from Bangalore to Tamil Nadu, Where is the question of
National Call free . They are telling different operator . Vodafone is operating in all states even in Tamil nadu
but they charge for roaming charges, national calls from Bangalore and message charges

Let us see how many people and how long Vodafone will this wrong business practice . Billing is not transaprent
and hidden charges .

Now after transfer from Air tel to Vodafone Now i am thinking of going back to Airtel for their inability to solve and fix the problem, poor quality phone and charging for national call and roaming charges which they take for RS 1300 monthly free calls

Chandra

After I decided to migrate from Postpaid to Prepaid, I visited the Vodafone center at Chromepet on 25th January and paid the outstanding amount of Rs.768/= through my debit card (I have my monthly statement as proof)


Later, I got a message on 21st of March saying that I have an overdue amount of Rs.179/= from my postpaid account (which I had already migrated back in January)


And today, it was a cataclysm that my outgoing calls have been disconnected all of a sudden


Couple of questions,


1. Why is the overdue amount alert coming after 2 months of my migration to Prepaid
2. That too, when I paid all my outstanding bill amount, where did that extra 179 bucks came from ?
3. How can you disconnect my outgoing calls amidst all this upheaval ?


It really made me skeptical about pursuing relationship with Vodafone and you have been deceitful to me as far as this incident is concerned


It is totally disconcerting and I need proper explanation from the authorities or else I dont mind going to the consumer court to get justice

Dear Sir, This is in regards to my Incorrect Nov’13 Vodafone Post-Paid Bill, Mob # [protected] which is around 15000/- .I have been trying to rectify this since three months but haven’t got any relevant solution so far, instead of getting repetitive reminder calls 100 times a day in my office hours. I was using 199 Corporate Plan + 3G Plan(650/-, 3GB), and my average bill is around 1300/-and the handset set which I was using is MT11(Sony Xperia NeoV), if you check my past billing trends wherein my data usage is within 3 GB. But as per the Nov’13 Bill which is showing 9GB Consumption in last 3 days of my billing cycle i.e. 24th, 25th & 26th Nov’13, which is not at all possible. And this is exactly more than 10 times to the Average Bill, I think there is a huge error in calculation of my Data Usage by the end of Vodafone and by no chance I am going to pay this bill which I haven’t used. Moreover logically it’s not possible as the internal memory of my handset is 1 GB and 9GB is a huge data which is actually cannot be consumed even you are using on a laptop that to in 3 days Also being a regular customer of Vodafone, my outgoing got barred without any prior intimation and without providing any feasible solution to it. I think they only believe in giving 100 of reminder calls to their customers from different executives in a rotation(daily basis) but not taking their customer’s problem into consideration. Looks like that they are not interested in retaining their customers for a longer run Would request you to kindly look into my problem on priority basis & Looking forward for a quick solution for my problem.

Sir, I was charged nearly Rs.4000/. for roaming calls even roaming plan was enabled. I have informed them that i won't pay the bit without clarification. After 3month, they were threatening with lawer that FIR will be filed agaist me. To avoid this issue i have paid Rs.3000. Now i need to get the solution for that. Please help me to proceed further. Regards, Ramasamy R S [protected]@gmail.com [protected]

Ref: Vodafone Number [protected] Bill no: [protected] I had sent mail to vodafone delhi customer care that I have been levied charges for blackberry usage for full month even though plan was initiated only for 10 days. Monthly Charges BlackBerry Prosumer ULD 399 (21.02.14 to 02.03.14) 399.00 BlackBerry Prosumer ULD 399 (03.03.14 to 02.04.14) 399.00 Sub total 798.00 In single bill i have been levied charges twice. But instead of reversing the charges, I have just received the mail from some Kapil dev chahar of vodafone that even if i activate blackberry service for 1 day i will be charged for full month. What is this?? Is this some kind of fraud??

Hi
I have been using Vodafone prepaid connection. There is very poor network connectivity in my locality for which I complained several times to customer care but the condtion didnt imprive so i decided to move to Airtel using mnp.
I submitted port request ref # VA297118 on 26th feb.
Vodafone people without my consent cancelled my port request and marked reason in system as consumer agreed.
I kept mailing Vodafone care, nodal officer, appellate authority for a long time but no one responded initially for many days. On 10th march I got a response from a person named Kishore( I have attached the mail) from Vodafone Appellate authority saying that they are not stopping my transfer its Airtel which is responsible for delay, but Airtel people were denying this. I raised a complain on one consumer forum after which I got a call from a person from Vodafone who said they had cancelled my port request without my consent and I will have to raise the request again.

Please look into this issue where Vodafone is clearly indulging in malpractice and harassment of consumer.
Also note that I have today again raised a new port request and I think the same thing will happen again as my dealer clearly told me that vodafone port requests are rejected in 99.9% cases.

My number for which i raised port request: [protected]
New ref #: VA454211

I applied for the postpaid vodafone connection of Rs 399 and given the benefit of 1 unlimited free calling on vodafone number with rental of Rs 49 for six months and also submitted Rs 250 as security deposit. I was told anytime i can convert my postpaid to prepaid in case i did not like the services of postpaid and take my security back without any condition. After some days o[censored]sing postpaid connection i was not given the benefit of free calling and when i intimated my issue to vodafone customer care they denied and told me that free calling services is not commited to you and tried to proove me wrong. team is also not refunding my Rs 250 until i use the connection for 180 days which was not informed me at the time of applying connection... Please help in getting my problem resolved

I disconnected my Vodafone line in the middle of last year. Then they send me a re-activation "request". But without any acknowledgement they again start billing you. Now they are sending legal notices. Attached picture is a screenshot of the reactivation email. Despite replying to that saying I have setlled all my dues and I do not wish to reactivate, they send people over to harass you in your house. I would advise everyone to avoid Vodafone.
