Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

Hi, I had recently ported my Airtel mobile no: [protected] to Vodafone India.
The plan i was offered initially was:
Rs. 299 Rental,
800 minutes calling (additional 50p/min - all India)
100 Sms (Local+National)

After a week of processing, i finally got network on my Vodafone Sim just to find out that they ported my no. to a data card service. Now my number is blocked from communication (calls + sms) and only Data is active.

When enquired for the same:
Dealer is not answering the calls correctly,
Vodafone customer care doesn't know whats wrong and keeps pushing me to Vodafone Gallery
Vodafone Gallery guys don't want to help (even though they wear 'Happy to Help' T-shirts)

Finally after wasting my 2 hours in Vodafone Gallery, The customer care executive said that the no. will still be blocked for 5-6 Days. and even after that they are not sure that I'll be getting the MNP plan.

The plan that they offered me:
Rs. 399 Rental,
800 Min's. (Additional 50p Local - 1Rs STD)
0 SMS

Really upset with the way Vodafone India is treating its new customers.

Hi,

I have moved from Vodafone to Airtel using mobile portability option. Its been more than 6 months and still the security deposit and additional amount I paid in the final bill is not returned by Vodafone. When I called their customer care, they gave false information that the amount will be automatically transferred to Airtel account. Even this did not happen and TRAI rules says service provider has to return with in 2 . Please help me to get the amount back from Vodafone.

As I am going through my Vodafone bill for the month of April 2013 ,I was shocked to see that my bill was Rs.2811 which includes usages charges of Rs1600,Roaming charges 237 and late payment charges of 100.I am having following issues with bill.
1.Usage charges of Rs.1600 was pertaining to internet usage.I am having a plan of Rs 49 wherein I am getting 500 MB data.I had received a alert on 6 April 2013 that I used around 600 MB data.Immediately contacted to customer no and had word with Mr Shekhar Patil that why I was not sent alert before using my entire limit.was this done purposely to charge more to the customer.I was told by vodafone while opting for this internet plan,that I should be receiving alert sms which was not done.So it would be reversed once bill is generated.However it was not done.
2.Why there was roaming charges when I was assured time and again by Vodafone department that there shall not any roaming charges within Maharashtra and Goa after availing Roam like Home.still I was charged with roaming charges.
3.Late payment was due to levy of roaming charges in previous bills and matter was under dispute and I was told as per telecommunication with your department that matter is resolved and Now I have to pay only Rs.700 which was done in last month

I humbly request to you reverse above charges as these charges are not acceptable to me.

Further I had number of discussion with Vodafone services still no communication is provided to me.

with regards

This is Laxmikant aND my no. is [protected]. When I signed up for the plan SME_KAR_899, the executive told me that I will get 4000 min free including STD and Roaming (M to M aND M to LaND line). I got a bill of Rs1612 continuously for the 2ND month in a row aND when I approach Customer service or the store regarding the same, they say they don't have any information regarding the plan details to look in to my issue or file a dispute on the bill being high. I am asked to draft a mail to corpcare.[protected]@vodafone.com to know the plan details aND to dispute the bill. After several attempts I got a mail about the Tariff details, however the information given to me was not matching with the Tariff details sent to me. Even the bill I got for both the months shows that I am charged for everything (making STD calls to LL, Roaming charges etc).

Would request you to please look in to this, I will be thankful to you.

Laxmikant S.

Dear Vodafone India,

I have been complaining about inactive 3G service from past 3 days. Registered number of complaints on 111. Visited Vodafone Vashi (Navi Mumbai) and Nerul (Navi Mumbai) Gallery twice and yet problem is not solved.

When I visited gallery I was told that Nokia Lumia 820 3G offer is active but 3G connection is inactive. They keep telling me that it will be activated within 24 hours. But it is not happening.

My Details:
Mobile Number - [protected]
Data activated - Promotional offer of 3G data 2GB for 2 months on Nokia Lumia 820
Previously registered complaints - Ref no. [protected] and [protected]
P.S I have also sent message using http://bit.ly/NbsGNc (Vodafone Contact Us Page)

Note: It is proper MicroSIM purchased from VF Store.

Kindly do the needful.

Vodafone provides provision to online prepaid recharge . So i tried recharging - selected talk time balance amountand gave Mobile Number to recharge and clicked on buy option.... i confirmed the transaction added my bank details and amount got deducted from my bank i.e payment was successful. (Rs. 145 -> i know amount is not much , but for talk time it is enough (who recharges for Rs.2000 for a month's recharge ?)

I was waiting for recharge amount to be added - the processing failed at Vodafone end and received an SMS from Vodafone with "reference number" stating they will refund money into my account within 5 working days.

This was dated 8th Apr and now its 20th Apr ...as you can see the amount is not refunded till date. Please help!

1) I called 198/111 to lodge complaint or followup , i informed them "reference number" which was messaged to me - > representative informed they can't lodge the complaint ( 198 is a complaint number please note) ... as they don't maintain a Database of reference number ( this reference number was sent by Vodafone please note) - neither they can inform technical team that processing failed and Mobile user have not received refund amount even after 5 working days.

2) On insistence i got a email id - vodafonecare [dot] del [at] vodafone [dot] com , this is again customer care email id , they acknowledged my request once i confirmed my email id through my mobile number. So i confirmed that details. Now i was awaiting for resolution.

Again they can't track back "reference number" , cause they don't have this info in their database.
Later they asked me to provide confirmation from bank -they confirmed that i haven't received refund amount and my transaction proof ( i provided that) - Vodafone agreed that they haven't refunded amount and apologized ( this was dated 17th Apr).

Now i felt , will finally receive my amount back - But NO Vodafone never refunded the amount.
Now they ask for Identify Proofs ( am a valid Mobile User , i confirmed my Email id through same number , they acknowledged my email id and responded back over email , i gave bank proofs on email they agreed on non-refund ) -Now Vodafone needs more proofs ?

Vodafone is unable to track back "reference number" in their database - and but they do send this "reference number" to customer ..why ? to track back na ? whats the use ? Vodafone does not maintain it

Now i feel harassed by Vodafone side and after all the proofs and acknowledgement - reality is my amount is not refunded ..
they are frauds and thief .... don't pay back people (non-refund of amount) neither give them service ( neither they recharged my talk time balance ) ..and neither can lodge complains (198 does not report incidents for reconciliation of outstanding balance ).

I now doubt their intentions and have thought of changing the service provider.
If you can help refund amount please help.

had opted for vodafone 3g dongle in 16th Feb 2013 by calling Vodafone customer care.in 1 hour they sent to collect money and documents from me.I got the dongle and a sim card.sales person told me that this would be activated post verification in 2-3 days.i waited for days and then chasing sales guy and customer care i could get no update.after 1week sales guy gave me a contact no. of Vodafone Delhi employee -named Manojkumar Jangir. i called him and he asked me to resend my documents which i immediately did.then after 2 days i started following up with him but he never replied calls/mails/sms .Then again i chased the sales guy who redirected me to other person ,which was of no use.Ultimately being fed up with this nonsense and lies , i went to Sec 50 store in noida in 2nd march.There i was by the agent that the sim for the dongle is not activated by due to technical reason and i was told i did not submit documents again.I was assured i would be called up in 1-2 days and my service activated.Again i got no call and even calling 111 was no help.Then i started emailing Vodafone care Delhi ,attaching my documents again..again a lot of followup mails went but issue remained same.I mailed Vodafone nodal cell then on 14t h March.I got a call from the team in few days of time to note my issue.But even after repeated calls to Nodal cell no and mails ,even Vodafone nodal cell has not provided resolution of this.Every week i am told that this is being looked into ...But I am yet to get my connection running nor do i have the refund of Rs. 1900 even after daily followup of nodal cell and customer care.So i can surely say Vodafone nodal cell is a BIG FLUKE like its whole bunch of cheat sales persons and inefficient and useless customer care.
I am not sure how do i take this forward

Dear Sir,

My Vodafone no. is [protected] and its running from 2006, Now 4 days ago this sim closed by company without any ultimatem.
This no. is using by me continously but customer care officer said that this no. is not using.
My email id is aman.[protected]@gmail.com. I want only this no. this is very important for me.

I am a new customer for Vodafone. I bought 2 postpaid numbers (CUG plans 325 rental) last month. I got first bill generated for my mobile numbers and it is approx. 6000 Rs. When I analyzed with customer care I came to know it is due to Internet charges, it is 2590 and 2172 rs respectively on each number.
I explicitly said no to any Internet plan on my mobile numbers, as I bought another Vodafone data card (with 1599 rental plan) for Internet usage.
I never give request for Internet plan
I never asked for any GPRS settings
I never asked for any Internet configuration settings
But Vodafone executive says this is default service which they activate for all customers whether you need it or not. But they never disclose the charges and service details for these default services at the time we bought connection.They said in welcome letter they mentioned about the charges but I did not receive any welcome letter. It was the worlds costliest Internet service I have ever seen. they charged 10 Rs/MB. and i dont know how they calculate the usage. they charges huge amount for the service which is not requested by customer.
