My name is vivek kumar and my complaint is against Vodafone Essar Mobile services which has been a pain since Day 1 and though I left them,they continue to bother me to serious proportions.
I had signed up for a USB internet Rs.650 plan in the last week of september 2011 from the Vodafone branch in Sector-18 , Noida. I paid Rs.1950 against it and i was told that my rental was free for first 3 months with 3 GB Data for each month.
There were several problems with this connection:
1. The number was [protected] for USB stick, and it was not activated till 2nd week of october.when confronted,the people at vodafone store kept asking for different Id and address proof.
2. The speeds never went above 100kbps and were usually much lower.
3. I clearly intimated them to send the bills on my email id,which they never did till date.
4. The software for vodafone internet services,also read the usage done on WiFi services, it counted the usage done on WiFi on different service provider,and due to this usage was calculated more then what was actually used through Vodafone stick.(i.e. the software for vodafone kept on working even when i run my laptop on WiFi services of other service provider, even when the usb stick was not plugged.) The same usage is been charged by vodafone against me.
5.After about 2 months(i.e. 1st DEC-2011) i got a email informing me that my unpaid bill was Rs.5000/- and my credit limit was Rs.2500/-. Bill for usage was still not send.
6. On 21st DEC-2011, i get another email, mentioning that my unpaid bill was Rs.5520/- and my credit limit was Rs.4000/-. Bill for usage was still not send.
7.On january 18th -2012, i get another email,threathning me to pay the bill. Bill for usage still not send.
8.How can the company keep the credit limit,much above the rentals for services. How can the company keep on changing the credit limit, as the bill keep increasing?
9.When i paid advance rentals for first three months, i should have been informed for my usage,over my limits for which i had paid my rentals.
10. I never got any email regarding my usage bill.
11.Vodafone discontinued my services, before it was 2 months, instead i had paid 3 months rentals in advance.
12. This, I thought, was going to the end of it. After spending 1950 for the stick and the worthles services provided against it but i keep getting calls for paying the amount. This is worthless and a pure harassment from vodafone side, Do vodafone expect me to pay bills,which are generated due to their faulty software and inappropriate services.

Don't know how did they even manage to do it... they gave my number to another customer when he migrated from prepaid to post paid.
My sim became inactive couple of days before. When I called the customer care they never bothered to find the real problem instead asked me to visit a vodafone store. Next day couple of my friends caught me online and I told me that some one else is picking up my calls. Initially though they made a mistake but few more people told the same thing. So I called my number and a guy picked my call. He informed me that he got this new number from Vodafone store during migration.
Once again I called customer care and intimated them about the problem. They did not bother to even believe me. Finally had to shout at them even to get their attention. My call was then put through to the manager and he promised me to get my number back. This happened yesterday.
Today again no action was taken by them. I made 4 calls to the customer care and every time they put me on hold and then disconnected me. Finally I was forced to visit a store in TTK road. There I proved that my number was given to another person by calling my number again. This guy spoke to Vadapalani center (where this mistake happened). Finally they said they will get it done in 2 hrs.
It was 5:00pm, 3 hrs since I spoke to them, still no action taken. I once again had to call the executive in Vadapalani store and he again argued with me that they have deactivate my account. Once again called the number to prove him it was not done. After few arguments he spoke to another executive to deactivate the number. After 2 hrs they deactivated my number.
Now I have to wait, god only knows how long, to get my number back.
Vodafone cutomer care service is one of the worst services I have ever received.
