Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

Sir,
I,Dr Santimoy Mukherjee wish to bring under your notice that when I sent my mobile handset for repair,I kept the sim card with me.But presently I can not trace it.Probably it is in a very very safe place where I can`t reach. So I went to the local mobile shop.But they have told me about their inability to isssue a new Sim with the same number.([protected]).Now my question is how can I get back my connection sim card with the same number.([protected]
)
Please act quickly.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Santimoy mukherjee.

Purchased 2 coupons from vodafone on 8 th july 13. worth rs 60 each. I scratched the area properly with a coin. The whole paper got scratched including the secret recharge number. The quality of the paper has become so poor over the years. Its like the paper is specially designed so that the number gets scratched away and the company earns profits.
Very frustrated

I was using vodafone prepaid connection ([protected]) since last 7 years.
In January I came to Sweden for business trip. and here also I was using that number with international roaming.
Suddenly on 04th June the number stopped working. the validity for number was till May 2015
I checked with vodafone and got answer the number is deactivated because of not recharged and not made any call within 3 months. and they did this without any prior intimation.
Then I wrote email to vodafone care and they had considered my case and gave assurance to reactivate the numebr by submitting some documents to nearest Vodafone store(i,e, Sawantwadi) and I agreed to that.
Then my father went to the nearest Vodafone store(Sawantwadi , 60 Kms from my place).
They took my documents and told that number will be activated within 2 days.
I waited for 7-8 days, then I called the vodafone store Sawantwadi to ask why the number has not been activated.
Then they supposed to reply with status.
My Father again personally visited the vodafone store to check the status, That time the executive had told my father that the number activation service is not available at our store, you have to go to another city (Mhapusa in Goa) which is 110 Kms from my place.
My question is then why this store is opened here if it is not for customer.
and why these people are making fool to customer and misguiding?
I don't want to loose this mobile number.
Please help me.

How to find the vodafone simcard number which is rejected? Iam having my sister`s vodafone simcard. she forgotten her number since she does not use it all. when i insert the simcard, this message appears "SIMcard Rejected". How to clear this and findout my simcard number

I have purchased a new mobile samsung grand on Febraury '13 vodafone offered me a 3G plan of 2GB for 2 months free. then they deactivated the plan in 2 months so, far they were perfect. They actually send a message to inform customer that the pack is deactivated in the month of April. But in my case they never sent me any message and activated the 3g plan on tariff (10 KB 10 paise) without information (says in smart phones gprs is automatically activated when we try to use) well as per vodafone smart-phone buyers have made a crime. I paid the bill for the month of April '13 of Rs 2546/- if they would have informed me i would have easily changed to 2g plan of just Rs 199/- unlimited usage, which i am currently using. They also sends messages for every 200 MB usage for 3G plan, but again in my case they never sent me any message if they would have sent me message of how many MB i have used, i would have immediately changed my plan. by which we could have avoid this problem. Now, again i have received the bill of rs 1630/-. Vodafone is not accepting their mistake whatever happens they says its an system error. I have followed-up with vodafone customer service a lot of time but nobody is trying take call on this issue i have never said that i will not pay. I am ready to pay the bill excluding these data usage charges. why pay so much if you are getting internet service in just Rs 199/-.

This is just to make you aware of the ridiculous service i have received from Vodafone on just 2day of activation after MNP .

I had paid 175 Rs for Vodafone E-TOP while MNP and it never reflected in the balance (As informed while paying it would be i got receipt ).
Have called Vodafone care they asked me to go to gallery and i went to gallery waited for 50 minutes for my turn and then i come to know this was the charge for MNP or conversion charge .
175 Rupees for MNP really?
Then come another agent he say i get free data card for for 175 Rs (I never asked for this data card and i don't want and he asked me for id proof ! wow didn't i gave proof for MNP ??

Thank you for the excellent service!! 175 Rs for Vodafone E-TOP .

Never new customer are treated like this was pretty much happy with my last provider ....

An Unhappy Customer.

i have submitted all required docs at vodafone mini store at amberpet, hyderabad. i wanted to port in to vodafone from aircel. i've been said that aircel sim will be deactivated with in 7days, and vodafone new sim will be activated. i have submitted docs on[protected]. but still i.e[protected] aircel sim is not deactivated and vodafone sim shows sim card registration failed. i don't have another vodafone sim to call to customer care that is why i'm registering a complaint.
my number which is to be ported is [protected]

I am using vodafone prepaid and internet. But they deducted around Rs .60 from my callbalannce without any intimation.Usually an sms is sent showing you have consumed 80% of your internet. This message was not sent yesterday.

Again yesterday after my last call balance was .93. Today the balance is .01after making a call of 1 second whichcost only .01 ps.

Dear Sir,

I have converted my prepaid connection to postpaid in the faith of company, as I am very old user ans customer of Vodafone. After getting details of my call I found that on a particular local Vodafone number my calls were high and I was consuming some internet pack on my phone. I decided to get plan for reducing my bill and I visited company showroom at U block, Shakarpur area from where I have converted my number into postpaid. I was told that there is plan of 75 monthly in which i can choose any local Vodafone number and my calls would be free on the same and it would be activated after 4 working hours. I have accepted that plan on 14/6/2013 and got confirmed from call center that it was activated call details for the same are printed in my bill for which they have charged .5 Paise.

I have received another bill few days back which I opened today for making payment. Before going for payment I have gone through my bill and was surprised they have charged for the number against which I have opted monthly plan. I though it may be billing mistake and I called to Customer care of Vodafone at 10:44 today i.e 6/7/2013. I have conversation with Mr. Abhineet Pathak who clearly denied for plan scheme and I was told that till time I do not use my free call of 7500seconds from my number this scheme would not be applicable, which is a very very big fault commitment and was never told by and person of the company. They are charging me double as monthly rental as well as separately for call.

I have seen the bill and come to conclusion as:

1. I have used my free calls as on 6/6/2013 and plan was activated from 14/6/2013.
2. I was never told these type of things earlier from any person of the company.
3. This monthly plan was implemented in my monthly bill but company never gave any benefit.
4. This is a matter of cheating and fraud with their loyal customer.
5. Each and every customers bill should be checked and heavy penalty should be charged on the company.
6. The time which we are using in complaint and taking with their representative should be compensate by the company.
7. All extra charge should be reimbursed as soon as possible with immediate effect.
8. I should be free for changing my service provider and should receive final due bill after rectification so that i can pay it.
9. Company should accept its fault and publish on their website.
10. I have given request for number portability on 6/7/2013 at the last conversation with customer care and my request number is [protected].
11. Apart from postpaid I am using three other prepaid numbers of Vodafone and will go for portability.



I have tried to give as much information as possible from my side, if any how you need some query u are most welcome any time. Only request is to make learn those cheaters company who are having smile on their face and happy to cut pocket.


My number is [protected] on which I am suffering from above problems


Looking forward for your earliest positive response.

i was wrongly charged heavy internet charges inspite of activating an internet plan of 2GB. on complaining i was told that there is no record of such an activation and the system doesnt approve of the same.

upon repeated complaints to the vodafone executives they offered me a 50% discount on settlement, which is cleverly exploiting a customer and charging him Rs. 3300 for no mistake of his. i refused to pay more than my call charges and the data pack charge which was Rs. 125. Infact i even paid Rs. 600 which sufficiently covered both, but that was also of no use.

On registering a complaint on their online feedback portal, i get a couple of calls, and when i ask them to hold on for a minute so that i can get out of my office and speak, the executives have the audacity to cut my calls. This is the level of service that they boast of.

My phone is not working fot the last one week and i have been punished for no mistake of mine. It is to my utter disdain and exhausted attempts at settling this issue, i have to write this.

You were so persisitent upon a written record for activation of the internet plan, I want to ask you one thing, why was i not given any written confirmation of my complaint on your feedback portal. So that you can safely say no complaint was registered as per our records? Pathetic Service and sheer loot of ignorant and meek customers. Shame on you!

Dear Team.

I would like to advise you that i am using Vodaphone sim last 3-4 year but there are lot of problems of Network in our area, if we are sitting on ground floor we can't talk to anyone jsut because of signals connectivity,

I had complained many times at Vodaphone as well as their counter also but still no action has been taken from their end.
we are reqesting you please take the necessary action and do the needful as earliest.

looking forward for your soonest responce.

thanks and best regds

I requested Vodafone to cancel their post paid 3G data card with number [protected] four times in between 20th April and 30th April, 2013 after clearing off their bill Rs 1186/- on 30th April, 2013. They did not cancel the vodafone data card till now and they sent another bill of Rs 200/- for the month of May, 2013 and Rs 930 for the month of June, 2013. We have not even used the datacard after 17th April, 2013 till date.

Apart from that the Vodafone Begumpet and Kukatpally branch people called me atleast 50 times asking me to convert to prepaid. Got vexed of saying no to them.

And vodafone customer care called me another 50 times to pay the residue amount.

I have put all the email exchanges between me and vodafone customer care below between 20th April and 30th April.
Vodafone is not cancelling my post paid 3G data card with number [protected] for the past 3 months even after clearing the residue amount on 30th April, 2013

Also the numerous phone calls made by vodafone Begumpet and Kukatpally branches and the vodafone customer care is making me log a criminal complaint against them.

To Whosoever it may Concern,
I have been a vodafone customer from the last 7 years. My number is [protected] from hyderabad, and I'm curently working on a project in rajasthan for a few months. However, on the night of 1st July, my sim stopped working and started to show the message, 'sim card registration failed'. The next day, when someone went to the vodafone customer care in hyderabad, they alleged that 9 sims were issued in my name. they said that they had sent messages regarding this, but i did not recieve any such messages. after a lot of harrowing, they agreed to transfer that number to my father, however its been 2 days and the number has still not been activated. on top of that, the behaviour of your executives was very rude. they refuse to talk and meet when someone goes down over there, and says that the document is in process. Is this the sort of behaviour and service you provide to a loyal customer? I would be very glad if my number is reactivated, please do the needful at the earliest.

I am using the corporate plan of Vodafone, which gives free minutes of 120000 sec including Local+STD+Roaming. But they have charged me for the roaming. I have raised the complaint couple of times via customer care, but have not received any response. Even they have deactivated the service 3 times in one week, each time I use to call them and ask for activation.

Facing a lot of problems.

Complain on my Vodafone Cell No [protected]

Dear Sir,

With reference to above subject for my cell No [protected]; please note; Today 1.7.13, I was misguided by your person, while I call to your help line no 198 and ask for current recharge for 1.2p/second. He told me that by doing recharge of Rs. 82.00; I will get 1.2p/ sec on Local & STD. he told me that he will send me SMS for the same offer. Meanwhile I did Rs. 82.00 recharge, But received SMS was uncompleted so I reconfirm on 198 again. another person surprisingly told that there is no such offer.

By doing recharge of Rs. 82.00; I get local 1.2p/ sec and 2p/ sec STD. I ask to put me to Nodal Officer he again refuses to do so; even he is not ready to give me email ID of your customer care.

This is second time during six month with me that your persons are not so sound to guide (See Below Email). I am also afraid, that my talking plan may be changed and you are requested to transfer my money back and also look at the matter that my talking plan will not affected.

Your immediate action and reply in this regards will be highly appreciated.

I have been a pre paid customer of Vodafone with mobile No. [protected].
on the intervening night of[protected] and 1-7-2013 service to my mobile phone were abruptly stopped. There was no notice nor any message asking for any information from my side.

On contacting the Vodafone customer care, I was told that there are multiple connections in my name and as a result as per TRAI guidelines, the service is barred.
I asked for showing multiple connections in my name. There was no reply from the service provider.

At least there should be some sort of a communication that the service will be barred.

Abrupt stoppage of service caused a lot of inconvenience.

Response of the service provider is evasive and not to the point. Now the service provider says that the present mobile no. will not be available to me any more. I want to continue with the present no. as I gave this number to lot of my relatives and friends. Please help me out.

Dear Support,
