Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

I am using Vodafone Network for more than 4 years. I was using prepaid and was willing to change it to postpaid. The sim card was in my cousin's name. So I wanted to change it to my name and change it to postpaid connection. Am working in TCS so thought o[censored]sing the Corporate CUG plan which is available for TCS employees in Vodafone. There was a Vodafone stall in our company and directly contacted that person and told theat person that I am using Tamil Nadu circle sim and is it possible for them to change it to Chennai circle. But that person told its not possible. So i directly mailed the customer care and Nodal officer seeking for clarification. But those people simply told theat its like business policy blah blah... blah... I dono what busy policy they have despite helping their own customers. They are treating only Chennai persons as corporates and otheer Tamil Nadu Circle people are from some undevelped rural Village it seems for them. They are asking us to go for chennai circle sim if we like to use their plan, but they wont provide the same plan for the Tamil Nadu circle customers. I have sent serious of mails and got calls from service regarding my complaint mail. They even questioned me why you are mailing like this to our officers, its like they are worried only about the complaint mails and not about the subject in theat. I then boldly told them to escalate it to anyone and I don bother as I have all the evidence. Then that person talked politely and told that they ll check and call back. I don remember that complaint no. I was desperate in having that Corporate Cug plan so I directly went to the Vodafone Center @ Cantonment (opposite to Court) in Trichy on 12th November 2012 and consulted withe the service person and he told that he can provide me that plan. Mean while he asked who is using this same plan. I told that one of my friend is having theat plan and he is from Chennai circle. The service person then checked with the system and few officials and told that they will provide me the Plan. So I submitted all the relevant documents including photo copy of my Office ID card and Pay slip which will be used to set that corporate plan for me. They told it ll take two days to be fully active. I waited and waited and waited till Next monday ie 19th November 2012 and it got activated and my corporate Plan "Talk Lots 249 CUG plan" got activated. Immediately i went to the vodafone site and created an account for me so that it would be easy for me to pay thee bills and manage my account. I checked my profile and saw my plan was Talk lots 249 CUG plan. Then on the next day ie on 20 the November 2012 I got a message from Vodafone stating that my plan has changed to talk lots 199 CUG plan. Without communicating to me I dono how can they change my plan. I havent raised any request to change my plan. I got frustrated and contacted customer service people by dialling 198. They told they ve taken complaint and they will assist me. But again I called to my circle customer care ie [protected] and asked them for explanation. But they simply bluffed that my friend was using Chennai Circle and as usual Blah blah.... blah..... I clearly asked them that whether that plan is available for TN circle people. Then they told that they dono. I asked them to connect me to any higher official people. But they told they ll check and as usual they told that all are busy. I then browsed through the site and directly contacted the officer ... i think he is higher than the Nodal officer. He told that he will raise a complaint and he told that the service people will call me in a while. My complaint no is [protected] and the person called I gave him all the details and as usual he told He will ask the service people to check and resolve my issue. I dono when I will get my problem resolved. These service providers doesnt even know the basic information we customers know. I dono how the Service Providers train their recruits. I accidently checked my tariff details and was shocked to note that my unbilled amount is 113 rupees. Within a day how come I can have this amount of Money. Again I have to complain for this too. I dono what exactly these Service providers are doing. The main reason I m not changing to other network is like my dear ones are using Vodafone and i don like to loose my number. I will fight, raise as many complaints I can, until i receive the service I need.

I gave requested through mail for activation o[censored]nlimited Internet Plan for my Mobile, which was confirmed by them. After one month Vodafone sent me a Bill of Rs. 10000/- saying that either pay the bill or show us the proof that we confirmed of activation of services. Now they have stopped the data services also saying that pay the bill first.

I found it very un-professional type of services............. and thinking to take action against them.

Thanks,

Kindly return me my balance deducted. Sorry to say but a very bad way to extract money

I am Ashish Sharma and instead of submitting all my documents i.e. photocopy of my Driving License, I am receiving a clip barrier message on ma number i.e. [protected] . please send me a solution asap on my ID i.e. [protected]@gmail.com .I will be waiting for your reply. thank you.

Hi

I have a “Talk Wipro 199 CUG” corporate plan (Wipro BPO) since 2008 which is effectively a zero rental plan with unlimited free CUG. In October 2012, I planned on moving to another service provider since I needed a plan with better rates for STD calls so I sent a request for MNP. The next day, I got a call from Vodafone's Customer retention team stating that they can offer me a 149 talk special plan with CUG for Wipro BPO intact. Two days later, when I followed up with Vodafone’s customer care they informed me that the plan would be effective 14th Nov without CUG. On knowing this, I felt lied to and informed corporatecare.[protected]@vodafone.com that I only want the change in plan if it had CUG otherwise I don’t want a plan change. To this, Harmeet Kaur, representative from corporatecare.[protected]@vodafone.com responded on 19th October, and I quote-
“Thank you for writing to Vodafone regarding the tariff plan change on your Vodafone mobile number 9711****940.
We would like to inform you that as per our records when our specialized Vodafone care team called you and informed you about the 149 monthly rental plan, they have also informed you that in this plan we are not offering CUG services, that time you have denied for this same plan.
We would also like to inform you that after your denial we have not forwarded your request for the tariff plan change to 149 special plan on your Vodafone number.
Further we would like to inform you that as per the corporate deal with your organization we are not offering this same plan. If you will go with this plan the CUG services get deactivate on your number.”
On 14th Nov, 2012, I shockingly discovered that my bill plan was changed to 149 special talk plan against my wishes and without my consent/approval. When I wrote back to corporatecare.[protected]@vodafone.com they reverted on 18th Nov, 2012 and I quote Vodafone representative Roshy Varghese –
“Further, we would like to inform you that the conversations from our specialized Vodafone care team in telephonic was done on dated 19/11/2012 in which you were informed that the we are not offering the CUG services with 149 monthly rental plan, they have also informed you that in this plan we are not offering CUG services, that time you have denied for this same plan but the tariff plan was already activated on your Vodafone account on dated 14/11/2012 hence the 149 Special Plan is still activated on your Vodafone account.”
Do you see how the 2 quoted conversations from Vodafone employees differ? Now, when I demanded that my plan be changed back to the zero rental, free CUG “Talk Wipro 199 CUG plan” I am being told that the plan is no longer available and cannot be provided! I was forced to opt for one of their new plans (against my wishes) but again, they told me that the plan will be effective only from 15th Dec, 2012 and that from 14th Nov – 14th Dec, 2012 I will have to continue with the Talk 149 plan that does not have a free CUG (doesn’t have CUG at all for that matter).
I really want someone to address my plight as I feel lied by and cheated by an organization as big as Vodafone that too considering I’m a subscriber with them for 4 years! So much for being loyal.
I’m writing to you as my last hope and what I am requesting is that my old plan “Talk Wipro 199 CUG plan” continue as is
If this cannot happen, I’m happy to move to another service provider as I’d rather switch services than stay with an organization that lied and cheated.

I have purchased my Nokia C5-00 mobile in 2011 and recently I have installed MOBITRACKER software from OVI store.
On seeing my last month bill from Vodafone I have found that this software has been trying to send messages from my mobile to the destination numbers almost every consecutive hours.(Even though it is not getting delivered at the destination I am getting changed for these messages.)
Because of this my mobile bill went up by 4 time the usual amount.

I have sent several mails to the Vodafone care asking them to remove the charges since these messages were not delivered, but even now they are charging me which has reached more than Rs.1000.

I need them to revert these charges.

sir/Mam,
I am using Vodafone Services through my number [protected]. I recharged my account on[protected] on 12:59pm with Rs 100 and within 2 hrs exactly on 2:05 pm and subsequently on 2:08 pm Rs. 30 for caller Tunes and Rs. 50 for Shuffle services has been deducted. i tried to complain through their toll free services to Vodafone Complaint department but to my surprise i found on dialing 198 their is no such provision for registering the toll free complaint. I called up their other complaint center which is not toll-free still they refused to register my complain and asked me to call after 1 hour so that they can connect me to their senior officer. Not only such deductions are arbitrary, they are unfair to such consumers who are still students like me. Moreover after every call the USSD are not supposed to show any VAS activating number, (as according to the consumer handbook on telecommunication available at http://www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/userfiles/file/measuresto%20protectconsumer...⇄ , viewed on[protected] : 3:13 pm) however they put such advertisements and these are very disturbing since their is the chance of wrongly pressing them. Moreover they do not have a compulsory toll free complaint service. 198 IVRS service is just a hoax because after you dial it they do not ahve any provision to register your complaint.
VAS can be charged to the customer only after getting verifiable confirmation from the consumer within 24 hours of activation of VAS through consumer originated SMS, e-mail, fax or letter. If no confirmation is received, within 24 hours, the VAS has to be deactivated without any cost to the consumer. but no such procedure has been followed in this case. Hence i want my immediate deactivation in this matter and refund of my money.

This is regarding a complaint of one of your staff Mr. Shukla his mobile # is ([protected]). This person has visited my Home and has told me that Sir your bill payment is pending total value of 5400/- then i have checked the bill and found that there was some late fee charges added in the bill. I just asked him that why the extra charges has been added in the bill and he told me sir if you pay the bill then i will give you a discount of Rs 500/- and i paid him the bill in 2 parts. then my connection has been activated immediatly but later on after 3 - 4days again the connection was disconnected. every day i was calling him and told him that when i have paid the whole amount then why the lines are getting disconnected. the revert which i got from him was "sir hum jaante nahi hai ki kyu wo log disconnect kar rahe hai aur hum abhi aapko kuch der mein bata denge when again i was trying to call him he has switched off his phone.



After few days i visited 1 of your vodafone store in Goregaon, n i asked the staff him for the discounted of Rs 500/- which he has promised me to give. I was shocked by his reply ki sir koi discount nahi diya hai. You have to call Mr Shukla for the discount we cant do anything. I have called Mr shukla and asked him that why the discount amount was not deducted from my bill the revert he has given me was ki sir now i am not in that department mera ab interdepartment change ho gaya hai then suddenly there was another guy with the name of Deepak he has started using cheap words like bhosdike, madarchod phone rakh nahi toh maa chod dunga both of them has started giving me bad words. It was the worst experience in my life, i didnt expected this from such a Big Organisation (Vodafone service).



I want an Immediate action on this or else i will go to Consumer court & Human rights for insulting me and giving me a bad words. I will not accept any apology i need to know what action you are goingto take against him.

I subscribed to unlimited GPRS 2G plan and later called to deactivate my music station and astro pack service I inquired if a 3G plan can work with my existing 2G and the CCE stated yes and activated 1G for 250 3G plan To my shock i get to know that my 2G plan has been deactivated which i subscribed a week ago When i called in and complained on 16th Nov i was assured a resolution by 6 pm that day No calls or resolution till now I walk up to vodafone store in shakti nagar for follow up and no electricity there looked like a fish market Despite paying you guys 750 bucks i have to use data on pay per use the dumb CCE did not know his basics that 3G does not work in my location and activating that pack will kill my 2G plan and the dumb manager who promised me a resolution is forgetful i am copying this compliant on all consumer websites and your Facebook page you guys deserve it my number is [protected]

My data only plan vodafone number is [protected].I have subscribed to Rs100 per month post-paid data only plan.Recently i have misplaced the SIM card.Please issue new sim card and add talk facility in the same .

I've been using my vodafone # [protected], since almost 6 months. Since last two months they are charging me heavily, despite the fact that i've an unlimited plan for internet, which is being charged for Rs. 399/month. And as per there bill the excessive charge is for internet, which shouldn't be the case. I should only be charged 399/month for internet usage.

The unbilled amount on the 2nd or 3rd day of my bill cycle shoots to around 600/- or more.

Please resolve this issue.
