Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

Sir/Mam,
I am Hitesh from delhi. I was using a vodafone postpaid connection i.e. [protected]. I deactivated this number last month. After that i tried to clear my dues pending with the company but there was no proper guidance also the mini store refused to accept the payment and said they are not authorised to accept payments of deactivated connections.
When i called customer care, they told me that mini stores are completely authorized and they can accept the payment. I again visited the mini-store but this time they said they are not going to resolve my issue at any cost. Then i again called the customer care to raise a complaint against them but this time they also didn't helped me out.
The people i tried to talk at customer care :
Mr. Deepak (Team Leader)
Ms. Anamika (supervisor)
Mini Store Details that denied to accept the payment :
Bhani Communication (A-1, Bawana Road, Opp. New Anaj Mandi, Ashok Dharam Kanta, Narela Delhi-110040



Thanks

Dear Team,

It very sad to say that your sales team committed to us fraud plan and after activating of SIM there will be no services available which your sales team committed us.

Earlier i am using the reliance CDMA network for four year now i port my number to your network with postpaid connection.

The plans committed to me are Rental 299 where rent will be 250/- and Rs. 49 will be discounted with 800 local and national call and 300 local and national SMS free plus 1GB internet pack on 3G network for Rs. 150/- only and one vodafone local number free for first six month.

Now, when i called to customer care for taking information on this they said that on my number [protected] rental plan is 299/- but with 400 local and national call and SMS free only not as per above and there is not internet pack and number free services are on this number as committed to me.

The person who committed me his name is Mr. Nitish and his mobile no. is [protected] now i am trying get these services activate through him but he is not helping me.

After that i launch a complaint to your customer care against him with my query no. SR_NO=[protected] but still i did not get any solution and call for the vodafone.

This is very bad experience for me that such a big company making lie promises to the customers for just being with him.

If all these services i will not get definitely after three month i will port my number to other network.

Looking for your help in favour of me.

Thanks & Regards,
Rahul Thakur

To whom so ever it may concern

This complaint is regarding problems using Internet Services on Vodafone provider. I recharged my Vodafone number with a 2G mobile package valid for 4 days on 12/05/2013. During the validity of this package I recharged with another 1-day trial internet 3G pack on 14/05/2013 to test performance since I was experiencing poor connectivity with 2G. My 3G pack expired on 14/05/2013 itself and I continued browsing internet (chatting, emails) on assumption that my 2G plan is still active since it was due expire one day later. Suddenly i got 2 subsequent messages on15/05/2013 evening from Vodafone charging me for internet usage throught the day and my whole balance was deducted (~INR 200). I was left with only INR0.01 in my account - feeling disspointed was not able to make any phone calls.
I could only call toll free numbers and I tried getting in touch with a Vodafone Customer Care executive for assistance. I made 4-5 calls in half an hour and all executives gave me different views. None of the vodafone officals were skilled enough to provide me convincible reason of what happened. I got to hear varied reasons like your recharge on 12/05/2013 itself wasn't successful, 2G and 3G recharge doesn't work in parallel, you had used your entire usage limit allowed (which i clearly hadn't)

None of the officials seemed to know the working of vodafone operations and customer service that I experienced had been too disappointing. They gave me a request no.[protected] but there had been no progress on it. On top of it the call to 111 gets disconnected after precisely 5 minutes 10 seconds and many a times all my struggle to go through dozen menu options to finally talk to the execute goes in vain.

If at all vodafone has rules like you cant recharge 2G and 3G at the same time, isnt it their responsibility to atleast communicate this to the customer when customer attempts to make an online recharge? Why do they allow multiple recharge option then without prompting or warning the customer? I didnt even receive any message that my 2G package is terminated since I recharged with a 3G pack, obviously I kept on using 2G with the assumption that it is consuming my package allowance

I must admit that vodafone is not at all customer centric and the overall experience had got me really annoyed - I just don't feel like using any of the vodafone services henceforth

I am using a Vodafone post paid number ([protected]). Few months back i bought a new phone which is Samsung galaxy grand . I got a handset bundle offer from Vodafone i.e. 2 GB 3G data for 2 months.it got activated on 25th feb 2013 & my billing cycle is 1st.i used 3G for a month & i got a call from Vodafone asking about the experience of 3G.vodafone executive told me that this bundle offer will play according to my billing cycle.now on midnight of 1st may 2013 this offer expired.i received my bill and i found that it has Rs 2484 which is shown as 3G usage from 25th april to 2nd may 2013.
i called customer care and the executive told me that you exceeded the 2GB plan and you have used some 350 Mb extra.
infact i got many calls from Vodafone regarding this offer and they confirmed me that this offer will end on 1st midnight.i used to check my remaining 3G balance regularly.on 29th april the balance was 781 MB.i called customer care on 30th april.mr shantanu mukharjee was the name of the executive i had words with.even he confirmed me that i am still left with 781 MB and i am supposed to use it till 1st midnight.
now when i called Vodafone care after seeing my bill they told me the same story that i used more than 2 GB.i asked the executive to launch a complaint but he refused and told me to send a mail to vodafonecare.[protected]@vodafone.com and corporatecare.[protected]@vodafone.com

I received a mail and again same story that i overused it.

my questions..-
1. If i used over 2 GB and this 2gb got over on 25th april why did your executive gave me wrong information that i am left with 781 MB.
2. If its a human mistake then why your system was showing me 781 MB till 2nd may 2013.

Hi ,
My name is Anshu Middha and i want to file a complaint against Vodafone Billing Dept. As they have been harassing me for last 1 year. I bought a vodafone number ([protected]) from one of their sales representative who sits in our office ( Convergys India Services ltd). At the time of purchasing this number, he told me that i could use this number for unlimited Internet fr just 200 /- rupees per month. I kept on using that number for 20 days and one day i got the message that services have been stopped because it had exceeded the credit limit. When i called Vodafone, they told me that billing amount has exceeded the limit to 2800 that's why services had been stopped.
SO next day, i checked with same sales representative. he told me that this had been happened with few people as well. so he gave me new number ([protected] ) saying that there was no need to pay to vodafone as it was their fault. I kept using that number for few days and same thing happened. The services were stopped again. This time, again the credit limit was exceeded to 2500/-. so i stopped using that number and after that i could not get back to that representative again.

After that , from April ,2012 till today, i have been getting calls from vodafone for paying this amount. i have clearly told them about the fraud i have been facing . but they are not understanding me and harassing me for paying the amount. Few representatives , also abused when they called. Even the female representatives use abusive language. an they are threatening me for disconnecting me postpaid number that i have been using for last 5 years and they themselves have provided me credit limit of 15000/- on it.
I want to file a complaint against them as they have disconnected the services on my running Vodafone number[protected].

Thanks & Regards,
Anshu

I have asked vodafone to channge my current rental plan from 249 to another plan. however vodafone is providing incorrect and un useful mail which do not address my issue. i have constant maield them to provide correct information but they provide the same reply without even reading my email. i am unable to change my plan which is causing substantial loss to me of the tune of 10000 per month and mental harassment

They have also activated 3G service which i have never asked. i only asked for 2G GPRS pack @98 per month. they are now charging me for their mistake.

I am attaching the email communication for both issues.

Please intervene.

Hello;

I've requested for change of plan from April first week and none are being answered.. They just create reference numbers and no solution..
(By changing the plan the rate changes from 50paise to 30 paise that would save me around 250 - 300 rupees per month. So they dont respond because they dont want to lose this extra money).

Mob No: [protected]
Vodafone

Reference numbers created by vodafone in one and half months are as follows [protected] &[protected]. Don't know what the customers can do just with the reference numbers and solution not provided..

Without any demand value added service (callertunes) has been activated on my mobile number [protected] by the vodafone customer care employee mr. niwas sopan pawar on 15 may 2013 at 12:51 hours. because i made a call with 111 (customer care) at 11:10 hours to know the validity of my std tarrif. but the above mentioned customer care executive did not listen my words clearly because while he was speaking with someone else may be his colleague. i got anger and asked for the correct reply. but he used such kinds of words with me which is uncalled for. his words are like he is the boss of the vodafone. this kinds of activity of the employee will spoil the image of the company. because i am the customer since from 20 years (when the company name was hutch). please take suitable action as deemed fit. thanking you.

Hello sir,
I am getting calls from a number- [protected](Vodafone-West bengal). I am actually all irritated from the person calling (Abusing call and words) from this number. I am requesting you to take proper action against this number.
Thanking you
Yours sincerely

My mobile no is [protected]. Before 5 day i got message from vodafone that two services are activated on my phone. I didn't make any request to activate this service on my phone. So its very bad practice to activate any paid services without user knowledge.
I got a response from Vodafone customer care that charges is not reversal. I have asked for the valid reason but they are not able to give proper response. These type of things happen frequently. Vodafone have Worse Customer Service.

Dear Marten,
I converted my reliance phone number ([protected]) to vodaphone and I gave my DL as ID proof to your Jaipur's vaishali Nagar customer care center , but yout ILLITERATE staff didn't mentioned address properly in your Vodaphone form , resulting my number is suspended from Saturday 12.05.2013 i.e. no incoming as well as outgoing calls can be done from this SIM.

I have visited 5 times in your same customer care center but no proper response receive from their side. Either they are fully government people or they are not wise to work at all . I suggest you to please close this type of service center on immediate basis .

THIS IS YOUR STAFF MISTAKE AND I AM SUFFERING FROM THIS.... IF MY PHONE WILL NOT BE WORKED BY EOD THAN I HAVE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST VODAPHONE TEAM....
