Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

For the past few months I am getting fraudulent SMSes on my mobile phone from several nos.
When I called back, to my surprise I found that all nos. were of VODAFONE and were switched off.
Then I came to know that the origin of VODAFONE is from UK and then I rechecked my SMSes to confirm
all the SMSes offered me huge sums in UK Pounds.
This clearly shows the that its none other than VODAFONE itself who is sending these fraudulent SMSes,
I appeal to the forum and our country INDIA to ban these kind of fraud companies.

Nos. from which I got SMSes are : [protected], [protected], [protected], [protected]
The messages said "YOUR MOBILE NUMBER HAS WON L850000.00 GBP & ONE BMW X6 AWARD 2012 HELD IN UK, TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE, SEND NAME, AGE, ADDRESS & MOBILE NUMBER VIA EMAIL :[protected]@bmw.co.uk.tc

Hello,

I had a missed call from a unknown number ([protected]) originating from pakistan as the ISD code suggests so. I have heard about such fraudulent activity going on. Could you please bar all calls on my no. coming from Pakistan?

Vodafone Prepaid Service in Orissa is seriously pathetic. The Customer Service my Orissa's prepaid connection received is deplorable. Internet connectivity 'EDGE' service is lost in the beginning of each Refill cycle.

This issue has been redundant since last 6 months, probably a small technical glitch, but Vodafone seems to be least concerned after my repeated pleas. The Customer Service (whether it is outsourced or their own), treats customers as Gossip and time-consuming pests. The most unprofessional customer-service ever experienced, with –

1) Extended TAT is a practice for them.

2) Delay in response is neither acknowledged nor apologized (the customer has to call back to know the status, they do not respond from their end).

3) No idea if call history is documented, each single time the customer calls back with the same issue, he has to narrate the entire scenario from the scratch.

4) The technical team that is off after 6 PM, ridiculous!! Biggest market player and its technical team is said to be out of office post 6 PM, this is as per the stated by the customer service.

5) Technical team can give you a call back relating to any technical issue only after 72 HOURS!! So, till then just curse your faith, no response before that even if you are facing the same issue for the past 6 months.

6) The liaison between Technical Team and the Customer Service Agents is very poor. Even if an literate customer requests to get his call transferred for a technical issue (recurring for over 6 months even) that can be better explained to a Technical professional, it's not a possible task here - Courtesy - Task schedule of the Technical Agents.

Lots of my friends have Vodafone connections at Bangalore and are more than satisfied by the Customer Service and connectivity there. They say and even I have experienced it really matches International Standards. But it is still a mystery to understand why the service at Orissa is contrary to the company's repute, may be because the connection is just an insignificant PREPAID Connection (not a Corporate or Postpaid one with Lump sum revenues). Well how does matter even if you loose a single prepaid connection as mine quite insignificant it seems!!

Hi,

I am Anand from Chennai. My mobile number is [protected] and the complaint number I am talking about below is [protected].

I had registered a complaint regarding charge dispute as mentioned in the subject and it was pending till today afternoon, well past the specified ETA and all of a sudden, it shows up as resolved without me getting any sort of intimation regarding the resolution so far. Further to add to my woes, i am not able to connect through to 198 or 111 which tells me my request cannot be processed.

This is a very serious glitch in the customer service which has been excellent so far and in a couple of days lost all it's credibility. I would like to highlight here that I shifted to Vodafone ending a 6 year relationship with my previous carrier for a similar incident where the service suddenly fell flat.

I have been told constantly whenever i inquired in the month of September by the customer care executives that I am in Nokia Lumia Promotional Data Offer for the period of Aug 20 to Sep 19th (I particularly remember a call made on 9/10 of sept when they confirmed the same to me) even, the last time of my inquiry being 20th September who confirmed the same to me. But, all of a sudden, I find being completely billed for the data usage without any plan being applied. The plan, I was told, was activated for me on 24th May and will end after 4 billing cycle, the cycles being
24th May to 19th June,
20th June to 19th July,
20th July to 19 Aug,
20th Aug to 19 Sept
which means that any data usage for the period should be based on the plan and not on direct one to one billing (10 P per 10 KB). That was not the case for the last mentioned period and I ended up getting a bill of 821 and odd for data usage which should have been free as it was within the limits (I have used 0.08 GB in the period when I was told 2 GB was the limit per month). If the billing was not enough to distress me, the number of calls I had to make to sort things out and the number of calls I tried without being able to get through from Yesterday is even more cumbersome and painful (Have I been blocked from making Customer service calls?).

I want this issue resolved amicably and I need you guys to call me ASAP to let me know on the status and the resolution of the issue. I am giving pretty serious thoughts of getting out of Vodafone if this is the way the customer is getting treated by you guys.

Hi,

I am surprise to get to know that in case vodafone customer wants to contact vodafone store then customer has to visit that store only because Vodafone customer care dont have Vodafone store email/ contact details with them.
I am asking Vodafone Store contact details at Baner, Pune to vodafone customer care and they are saying we dont have email address/contact details for that vodafone outlet. Customer care is helpless for this.

i have recharged with 95 rs on 17/9/2012 my first recharge in the mrng failed but amount was debited from my bank account then i again recharged in the eveining that was succesfull i have mailed that many times and called also they have blocked my call for customer care number ....not replying to mail properly ..i have already recharged so i want my money back

I submitted a valid ID & Address proof with Vodafone Staore at Nanganallur, Chennai. However when I checked with Customer care about my connection problem they are telling that I have to submit proof again. Why are they so careless and asking to submit the proof again and again.

And I called the nodal office at [protected] to complaint, he also frequently disconnecting his call and switching off his mobile.

This is should happen for any one, once we submit it's the Company's (Vodafone) responsibility to take care all. I heared many of them have facing this kind of problem. It's unnecessarily a harrasment and increasing unwanted stress on human. Everyone is having their own problem, don't create this kind of issues by not doing your duty.

Need a solution immediately.

I am a Vodafone 2G user. I called customer care for HOW TO ACTIVATE 98 1GB DATA USE PLAN FROM MY MAIN BALANCE so they tell me you can dial *444*98# to activate this plan. But unfortunately by mistake I dialed *444*95# and my 95 rupees deduct and 300 MB 3G data plan is activated so without any delay I call them back and explain my problem so they told me they can't stop these plan and they can not be refund my balance I talked to senior customer care too but he replies same thing to me.

But there moto is HAPPY TO HELP and they always says we can refund your your balance if you deactivate any plan within 24 hours.


Why this things happen when my SIM is not 3g its 2g then why 3g plan is activated even by mistake
My city have no 3g network toO
Why they not refunding me my money when its possible!

My sister a student of NITTE had purchased a sim from Vodafone on 11th August 2012. She had given all the documents properly. Hence her sim was activated properly without any issues. After more than a month on 19the Sep 2012 she recieved a SMS from Vodafone that your documents are not submitted. My sister rushed to the store from where she had purchased the SIM card. The store person replied "Madam I have sent all your documents. If I had not sent sent the SIM would have been closed within 48 hours."
The SIM's outgoing facility was barred on 21st Sep. She was forced to submit all her documents again. The phone's outgoing facilty remained disturbed for more than 30 hours.

The unnecessary trauma that she went through had for sure taken place from Vodafone End. If she had not submitted the documents her SIM would have locked much earlier. Vodafone guys lost the documents and why was my sister harassed? I asked the customer care before complaining and their reply was go ahead. Vodafone must be taught a lesson so that such problem does not takes place again.

I have raised a complaint since the month of July and august and now again in September. However my issue remains unresolved. I did a top up of Rs34/- on Vodafone store for mob no: [protected], in order to get all my STD Calls @ 0.40p per min. But i never rec'd the benefits of the service. When I asked for refund, cs just raised complaint, every cs informed me that they will forward my complaint to concern dept, but its 2 months now, still its no where. Complaint no:[protected] for Rs34/- top up which I never received and [protected] for the extra balance reduction, which occurred bcoz of benefits not received of the same and due to which i was been charged 1.20p per min which is 3 times more that i paid.

Over and above, whenever I called, to know the solution of the issue, CS rep i.e Sachin and other people, simply disconnected my call and have barred my services to 198.

Its very shocking that such a big company is trying to make profits by fraud methods

Hi,
I introduce myself as Swapnil Naik, customer of Vodafone with a number [protected]. I applied for a MNP and would now like to shift to other service provider from Vodafone.
Having registered, 2 weeks ago I get a sms from TRAI saying the service provider has rejected your application. I immediately called up customer service number, where I didn't get a answer for my query.

I went to the VODAFONE store (GOREGAON EAST) on 22.09.12 at 10 AM & sat in front of the executive sharing the SMS. The immediate reply was you should check with the probable service provider & not us.
I continued to sit there trying to explain that the application has been turned down by VODAFONE, but he was not willing to listen. Finally, after my insistence, he checked and said just because you have applied for a SMS pack we turned it down. Without giving a reason.

I am really surprised, by the way companies try to retain their customers, if at all VODAFONE was trying to do that by not allowing me to exit. Also, the executive was not ready to give me in writing the requests I again put in & expected date of resolution

I hope, this mail of mine goes to the right desk, and expedite my request.
