Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

My Vodafone no. is [protected] and i am using this with blackberry.For the Blackberry services i have been paying 399/month as rental.But, as i feel i have become the golden duck for Vodafone as they are continuously deducting balance from my account(like .10 paisa,.30 paisa),which i have noticed from October.Once also Rs. 71 was deducted from my account in the same month.

The situation becomes more frustrating when those technically unfit customer care representative comments that i was been charged for receiving mails and sending as well,and also promises to transfer the call to his senior which is the biggest joke at the moment.Now after that if you are going to call you'll find your number has been blocked.

So,in this regard kindly suggest what are we going to do.There are so many questions bubbling and you'll find none eventually to satisfy.I would request your concerned organization to take a call on this and treat them the way they deserve to be to at least put a brake on this everyday theft.

I guess i am not the first one complaining,you had so many.So,the time has come to take the necessary steps to prevent all these kinds o[censored]nethical income.

Hello Sir/Madam,

This is Adil Hassan from Sivasagar, Assam.
I have a prepaid mobile connection from your esteem company, bearing the number [protected] and for this same number I tried to get the internet connection in my phone (NOKIA C2-03) by putting the monthly pack of Rs.98 (2nd Nov. 2011, at about 9 pm) and called your customer helpline number 198 where I was said to send 'ACT VL' to 144 & also I was sent the GPRS settings to be saved in my phone & was said to switch off the phone, which I did but even after 24 hours of doing that I was unable to connect my phone through GPRS for which I have called your consumer helpline number 198 again & explained the fact & I was then advised to bring out the SIM card & put it again in the phone & I did that accordingly to get no any positive result. I had a very good impression about Vodafone Essar before this experience & for that very reason I have even done MNP (Mobile Number Portability) from Reliance Telecom and as I assumed myself about your company which has high technical & network grip, it gives me utmost setback for the pitiable failure from your network to get a consumer his/her GPRS connectivity after 3 days of persistence.

My next grievance is about your helpline number for GPRS (198). Previously, when I used to call this number for GPRS connectivity then I was told to press '2' to connect to customer executive to convey the problem. But since yesterday when I am trying to connect to your customer care personnel after pressing '2' I get the message from the IVR like this- " SORRY, WE ARE UNABLE TO PROCESS YOUR REQUEST". Till the time I was writing to you this long essay the situation is same here. So, where shall I go now to tell my problem/grievance? Sir, does your esteem company block a consumer from getting the customer care line when his/her problem is not solved & he/she is thought of doing too much calls for the same unsolved problem? Also, I have got one call from [protected] of your company while I was writing this to you telling me that my problem will be resolved soon.

I, hereby round up my explanation thanking you overwhelmingly to waste your valuable time to go through this unwanted lines of a consumer from Assam & I think that my net connection & my pack of Rs.98 have gone in vain. Hope, you may intervene into the matter as its a matter of reputatin of a popular company all over India. May be, I am a single consumer for you now but others may follow when they will try GPRS connection from Vodafone. I wish all the good & prosperous & advanced future of Vodafone.

Thanking you

Adil Hassan

I had blocked my number 2 yrs back. and strtd using a new no from another service provider.but recently i found out that the blocked number had been given by vodafone to another person. i missed to give my new number to few of my contacts. so they are contactinng to that number thinking its still with me. this is providing me lot of inconvenience. is it allowed by law to give already taken number to another person? and now the other person may misuse my contacts contacting him. give me a solution.

I ENQUIRED OF THE VODOFONE CALL CENTER, THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME SATISFACTORY & CORRECT INFORMATION,

KINDLY HELP ME TO SHORT OUT THIS PROBLEM.

I got surprise to see the September bill amount of Rs. 2231.82.
The call charges under CUG plan are very low, CUG is free & my usage is also not profound. I have activated “99 Unlimited” internet plan.

When I contacted Customer Care, they told me the amount is due to use of Vodafone Mobile Connect facility WHICH I NEVER REQUESTED TO START. So, how Vodafone can activate any value added service (e.g. Vodafone Mobile Connect) by default without intimation to customer ???

2 days back someone from Vodafone called me told that, they will give me reversal of Rs. 1400. But total of Rs. 1685 was charged in the bills for Sept & Oct. I refused to accept their offer as they were not ready to give me reversal of full amt. i.e. Rs. 1685.

VODAFONE HARASSES...

respected sir/madam,
i am a vodafone user.i had activated my vodafone blackberry daily plan @15.
the vodafone website shows that we can use the service for using the blackberry app world.
i am a blackberry 9700 user.
i had activated my daily blackberry plan by sending the sms ACT BIS15 to 144 and Rs.15 had been deducted from my balance
and the blackberry internet services were activated in my phone.
my phone also showed the EDGE network and all my settings were fine for services to be used.
but when i used my blackberry app world,the vodafone carrier had charged me for that and deducted Rs.360 from my balance
my balance was Rs.322 and was brought down to Rs.-40.5.
i cant understand how the vodafone have charged me.
and also how can they make my balance negative to -40.5
i had not downloaded anything from the internet except just using blackberry app world apps.
this is malpractice and cheating from vodafone.
i had earlier also spoken to vodafone customer care but did not get a response.
it is my earnest request the you look into this matter and help me in getting my balance back which amounts to Rs.362 approximately.
i am looking forward for a quick response.
thanking you,

I had recently taken three mobile connections on 31 Aug 2011. On 4th Sept I had given a complaint that I am not receiving any signal on all the 3 mobile connections both in my home and my office. Till date Vodafone has not resolved it , instead they are asking me to pay the bills. For what is the bills to be paid. My plan/ scheme is authorised 400 free CUG calls and 100 free SMS for a month. If there is no signal on my mobile how will I avail this free call/SMS facility, if I am not able to take this facility then for what service should I pay. I want to sue the firm for deficiency in service and inconvenience caused due to not extending the basic voice mail and data services.
Moreover they disconnect the services without prior intimation. When the appellate was contacted one Mr Sharan has assured that once the network issue is resolved then they will talk about payment and there will be no disruption in service till then, but every now and then some other dept disrupts tje services without prior intimation. They work in water tight compartment.
Till now no official from Vodafone has given a ring to resolve my issue, every now and then I need to talk for long hours from my landline to make them understand. Who will pay for my landline bills ? Inspite of asking for call back they do not respond. The customer service centre at Perambur, Chennai is also ineffective and since they are not able to resolve the issue they are also rude. How should this issue be resolved. I had initially paid for all the three connections but have not got the basic service i.e. voice call. Moreover I had spoken to the appellate and cust service for laong hours form my landline. How much more should I spend? Kindly help

My family clearly said that i am out of india and wont be using phone but these guys deliberately didnt close connection even after settlement.
On 25th oct i even sent a mail from my registered e mail id for closing the connection. They keep on sending mails it will take time ...it will take time... Now 7 days has been passed but they didnt close the connection yet.
Today i got a mail saying i again need to pay 500/- for closing connection.

Now can anyone tell me is closing a connection so difficult process that it would get done in a week and still in process.

Respected sir

I am a retailer cum student of CA final.
I am using Vodafone Demo sim [protected] for 5 years, and doing the transactions uninterruptedly over and above the targets set by the Distributor. I am also using the card for my personal use by giving that number to all my friends and relatives.

Now I came to Chennai for taking CA final coaching. Doing transactions while in ROAMING is not possible.
As per vodafone company norms, if the retailer fails to do more than 10 transactions he will not get the benefits of 100 free calls for every month.
But my distributor is intentionally disconnecting my sim card each and every time. I am getting a normal sim at vodafone store. he is disconnecting that sim also. and He is also making calls fraudulently and utilizing the DEMO balance.

I already given Complaint to Vodafone DEMO customer care. They are highly irresponsible and saying to give complaint to distributor or CSM.
The distributor himself is doing fraud how can i give complaint on distributor to distributor.
The distributor and CSM are close friends for the past period. Now the CSM is goes on transferring/changing.
The company demo customer care is is not providing at least CSM number also.

I cannot go to AP which is more than 500 km for doing 10 transactions.

I given that number everywhere- Internet banking, Mobile Banking, Passport Office, In my college, The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and to all my friends and relatives. Some of the numbers of the above said are not with me. I am loosing very Important calls from them.

The justice I want is
( i ) Please convert my sim from DEMO to NORMAL sim and give me normal sim card.
( ii ) OR Please take an action on my distributor for not doing the same thing in the future.

Please help me in this regard.
