Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

Vodafone — No life time validity

Dear Sir,

This is to bring to your kind attention, that Mr. Ghouse Basha my collogue, has purchased life time validity card from Vodofone (formerly Hutch) he has been allocated [protected] as his phone number.

He was continuously using the phone connection and has recharged the facility at regular intervals, unfortunately due to unavoidable circumstances he could not do the recharge in the recent time.

As per the terms and conditions which the marketing person has explained to him, he was under the impression that the validity of the number will be active though the recharge has not been performed, ie he would be in position to receive call though he could not make any out going calls.

However now the fact is that he is not able to receive any incoming calls, per discussion with the customer care executive who explained him that the incoming calls will also be barred if the recharge has not been performed at regular intervals.

My humble request to you is that is please explain me what is the purpose of marketing a product that it has life time validity and which in reality has not at least the facility of incoming calls to be facilitated to the customer as per the description catalogue of the product.

And now he could not recharge the validity of the card since the scheme has been scraped in entirety.

I‘ll appreciate if my friends grievance can be resolved from your end. Or some steps has been taken to avoid such false advertisement.

Thanking you

Yours truly,

R. Baskar.

Vodafone — Tottery

hi

this is to complain that recently i recieved an Email from BMW lottery board stating that i have won 769465 pounds that has been pproved by Bank Of England and same will be delivered to me on 4th Jan but they are asking to pay 48000 indian currencey
but the problem here is that how to belive that it is true or fraud as there have been may instances with other persons in Delhi
so this is a complaint that such lottery amount should be delivered after deducting the taxes and all and should not ask the winner to pay at the time of delivery that creates a fear and suspect of being fraud
Name of the Diplomatic Agent ( Mr. George Maxwell )

and the mail i got from-

(Mr. Mark Walter
THE DIRECTOR PROMOTIONS
BMW LOTTERY DEPARTMENT
UNITED KINGDOM)

please do the needful on an urgent basis

Hi Jamil,

We see that you have faced an inconvenience with one of our services / products. We would like to get in touch with you on this. Please share your details at http://tiny.cc/ZHxZK and we’d be happy to help.

Regards,
Vodafone Customer Care.

Even I went through the same ordeal yesterday when they asked me to pay and i paid but when they asked for more 25000 then i understood it is a scam and told them to return the money but in vain. I came to know these numbers are from pakistan so its a huge scam. Please someone look into the matter as soon as possible. The account in which the amount got deposited had 37 crores. Now that means so many people were fooled like me. What if this money was or is used for funding terrorist organisations? Please someone from higher athourity look into the matter.

Dear All,

Even i receveid a call from a person called Raj Verma who posed as a customer officer from Vodafone, he suggested me to call [protected] and called Mr. Sardar Sunder Singh.

After which he told me to transfer INR 15000 today so that he can keep the check number ready and he provide the following account number:[protected] mentioning that its of ICICI Bank and name on the account is Bashir... when i asked him more details he hung up.

Please dont entertain this calls its fake also kindly report to Vodafone so that they can take action accordingly.

I got a similar missed call from [protected] telling me that I had won a 25 lakh lottery of Vodafone. He gave me a number of [protected] - Rajesh Balaji. However, I did not get through and my guts told me that there was something fishy. I Googled and got this site only to understand that this is all a sham... I got saved but I know there are a lot of innocent souls who would be duped like this... Please do something to stop this scam and return all the money to the people who have got fleeced in this scam.

Hey, even I got a similar missed call now from[protected] and I called back on the same no. later. This guy named Mr. Kirankumar Sharma informed me that I had won a 10 lakh lottery of Vodafone. He also mentioned that this call is being recorded. I almost freaked.

I asked him to sms me the no. and tried to talk to him more however he cut the line telling that he cant sms and the call is being recorded etc..

I thought to pass on the information to all as this might save somebody's hard earned money which these a**holes are trying to dupe..

Hi,

I am a vodafone customer and got a fraud call from - [protected], saying that my contact number has woh 25 lacs Rs Lottery.
And the man said to call on [protected] and talk to Mr Vijay. He also said that 150 customers have won the lottery.

As i had not participated in any kind of lottery thing i didnot call on the number and I suspect it to be a fraudlent call.

I would like to share this experience to make people aware and Alert.

I called up d number... and he asked my bank acvount..upon which i asked him to call in 10 mins!
Confirming with 198(customer care).. i came to know its frm pakistan :-o
TRAI should block all calls with this code! Kindly take some measures against this nuisance...i m getting calls again and again..from difderent numbers..n my balance is gettin cut.. 14rs/minute

Hello all,

Do not call back to any one and don't try to reply their email at any cost. they can be theif or terrorist, those can user your account and phone no. for their needs.

I also know that there are some software who can record the message and recent contacts from your phone and user them. so beware about these (BEEP) calls.

Note# There is nothing without some effort, the guys who played lottery only those can win, if we did not play a single trick so how you can trust that you can win 25lakhs . Its just a joke. hahahaha

Thanks

vodafone broadband — coverage

I have just signed the contract with Celcom to provide me the broadband internet in seri Serdang, seri kembangan (near UPM) with the promise of Vodafone's staff of ensuring the quality of signal coverage in my place . But what i get is the disappointment when using . Even opening and sending email is the difficulty to get .
I dont know what to do to improve this situation, meanwhile I spend a large sum of money as to a student .
So, is there any solution to upgrade the speed in my place?
I am grateful if you give me a solution for this !
Thank you very much!

Vodafone — delay in mobile number portability

I have applied for portability (from vodafone to airtel) on very first day i.e. 20.01.2011. I got the code number and submitted all papers to Airtel Network. After that I got message from voda fone for 96 hours time limit. in the airtel network also informed me orally it may take time for 7 days and told that they received the application on 28.01.2001 only. . In airtel outlet they told it is the problem with vodafone. But in vodafone, they told on 11.2.201, all are cleared and it will take one hour. But still there is no change in my network. Now i am asking, in which network i am complaining? how can I know what is the problem?
