Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir,

I would like to complain regarding misselling of blackberry 399 plan. This was a cooperate plan and I was informed that it has unlimited downloading, surfing through my internet browser. However to my surprise I have received a bill for net charges of Rs 1498.90. When I contacted vodafone customer care they informed me that there are 2 types of GPRS services. The details of which are mentioned below:
• Vodafone live! (Basic GPRS)

• Vodafone Mobile Connect (Advance GPRS)

We would like to inform you that VMC and VL has become the core service, just like STD or SMS. Certain applications like YouTube, video/ music streaming (e.g. Music Junction), tickers on HTML sites, handset applications and MMS which uses Vodafone Live! as access point and will be charged @ 10/10KB. These charges are applicable over and above the plan.

If the handset has applications which auto refresh /update by connecting through the WAP gateway (Wireless Application Protocol) i.e. VL, will be charged accordingly. The settings for these applications are predefined on the handset by the manufacturer.

Please note that any video streaming application or real time application like weather/stock/ news updates on the handset may also use VL to connect and will be charged @ 10/10KB.We regret for the inconvenience caused to you.

Further we would like to inform you that the above BlackBerry plan gives unlimited access to BlackBerry data. However this does not include usage of certain applications like YouTube, video/ music streaming, tickers on HTML sites, handset applications and MMS which uses Vodafone Live! as access point and will be charged @ 10p/10KB. These charges are applicable over and above your data plan..So I want to know that why this was not informed earlier wherein I would have not activated this plan. Please look into this matter and advise satisfactory solution.

I underwent the procedure for MNP as i migrated from docomo prepaid to vodafone postpaid. I did this through an agency called M.R. marketing when i recieved a promotional call from them. The monthly rental promised to me was 299 Rs which is also written on my DSA enrollment form although the original rental for the pack is 399 as it was a promotional offer. Now after i ported in to vodafone the technical team tells me my rental will be 399 Rs. So was the agency fraud? Please help at earliest

Hi,

This mail regarding my Vodafone number [protected], I had made so many complaints in customer care that i am receiving exceeded amount of Bills. They have unnecessarily activated Mobile Internet & caller song on my number. I requested them to DE-activate that facility so many times, however no action has been taken from their end & they told me that "pay the bill & we will give you reversal in your next bill", however, I didn't get the same, although I have paid the bills for the month of June & July 2011. Now I am getting calls from their billing department that if i wont pay the bill they will disconnect my another number ([protected]) as well. This is no acceptable from their end. I had a word with one of the customer care executives, her name was Sonia, she refused to tell me her last name, she promised me that she will send request to DE-activate both the services from my number & will also send a request for bill reversal, however, it hasn't been done & these guys are talking very rudely whenever I call them or they call me. I want an urgent action to be taken.

Thanks & Regards
Mansi Rana

despite many requests they are not activating it and their customer care always transfer my call at IVRS.

I have raised a complaint for a faulty bill. We have been charged Rs 2745(additional + 298 taxes) for an ISD call on number +[protected] which has not even been made from our end. The itemized bill shows 2 calls of duration 60 min and 1 min each. HISD service is not even active on our number and we got that confirmed from your call center as well (SMS proof is there with us). Even if you check our history of log calls there has not even been a single ISD call since past 2 years. The other call history for this day proves that I was in the home circle (Mumbai) when this particular roaming ISD call (as reported by your executives) was registered. We do not know the source of this number. On searching the number online we find it to be from some African country. I have no such reason to call any such place and talk for hours.

There is no cooperation from your end to listen out to the problem. I have spoken to Sabita (Subordinate to Irfan Ali) on 9th October 2011 at 10.36 am. She was unresponsive and also refused to escalate the call to her seniors. She also did not send the confirmation message for the complaint as committed on the phone. Post this I also visited the Vodafone Store in Santacruz West (S V Rd). Here I spoke to Asad and Abhishek with regard to my problem. They said that they have to believe that what their system shows is correct and hence they refused to believe us or even listen to our view. The floor manager Abhishek was very rude and offensive and said that we could try doing whatever we can but we as a customer have no option left with us but pay the entire amount.

We have also written an email to your nodal officer but even she is unwilling to listen to us. They just wrote back to us that they cannot do anything. If that was not enough they say that we are cheating on family members and the company as well by lying. Vodafone employees are no one to talk about our character. It only talks about the character of their company as a whole

I request you to help me get to the right person who can help me with this issue. We refuse to pay this bill till this issue is sorted out. This is a clear case of misappropriation. Hope you will understand my plight and help me resolve this issue at the earliest.

Thank you and Regards

Hi,

I have been vodafone customer for nearly 4 years. I never had any problem with Vodafone and I am satisfied with your support.

However, recently I got a call from Mehidipatnam Vodafone Store, who offered an add on SIM card to me. I liked that offer so, I took the SIM Card.

The Vodafone representative whose name is 'Laskshmi Narayana', his mobile number is [protected] came to my office and gave the SIM card to me. I gave all the required documents to him. Later I sent a confirmation email to '[protected]@gmail.com'.

I did not use the SIM card immediately, because I wanted to gift that SIM card to my Mom. I went to my Hometown and gave the SIM card to my Mom. We came to know that the SIM card is an Invalid SIM card.

I called up Vodafone Customer Care and was told to visit the nearest vodafone store for assistance. Since, I was busy, I was not able to visit vodafone store.

A few days later, I received a Bill from Vodafone as show in the below email. I responded to the person(Gayatri) whose name was mentioned in the bill and she said that she will forward this issue to Sales Department. Next Day, I got a call from Pakistan and one person spoke with me in Hindi. Since I don't understand Hindi, I asked him who he was.. He said, he is calling from Vodafone Store but the number was from Pakistan.

Later, I sent an email to bill.[protected]@vodafone.com saying, I will give a police complaint. Then I received a call from Lakshmi Narayana and he spoke with me unprofessionally. He said, he will give a new SIM card to me. However, he never gave any SIM card to me. He is not responding to my calls.

I FEEL THAT VODAFONE HAS ISSUED A SIM CARD UNDER MY NAME, AND IT WAS MIS USED BY OTHER PEOPLE (POSSIBLY ANTI-SOCIAL ACTIVISTS).

Hi,
i am a vodafone pre-paid user. when i put this sim in my mobile in these vacations ( my punjab no., study outside) . service provider automatically activated my caller tune service and some service named sms alerts i think and they deducted Rs.30/- & Rs.15/- respectively total to Rs. 45/- .Very cleverly they activated this after midnight when all normal human being go to sleep. in night messaged that your service will be activated in 4 hours. do i suppose to take care of it and immediately call customer care after mid night to deactivate or to stop it. more ever, i was out of station for 1 days so was not able to contact customer care within 24 hours for caller tune service. but for other service also, customer care did filed my request to refill my balance ( il-legally deducted) but they did not. i demand from concerned authorities to take notice of this complaint. execute concerned persons and screw and impose penalty on service provide+ return my balance. same problems is with 80% vodafone users. it sucks.

Dear Sir,
I am your customer for past 12 years. I have been given special representative Ms. Ratna ( contact no:[protected]).I spoke to her on 20th August for my problem of networking, receiving mails and change of address and she told me it will take 20 days to get networking service done. I called her many times and she seems to be very very busy woman. Infact I put her sms to return call which she never did. So finally after waiting for a month called your Vodafone care service number 111 and they registered my complain on 15th September and my complain number is [protected].Ratna never gave me any complain number. The Vodafone care promised me that everything will be fine please give us some time and I told them reliance is working well so if this going to be this way I will get other service and told them about Ratna negligence. They told me they will do the needful to inform her. They also asked me for 20 days which is over but no service is taken care. I warned them I will report against ratna.

Immediately next day she called me and told me she will do the needful and will return call in next three hours after talking to her technical person. After that also she never addressed my phone. I called her frantically but no response and I wrote her message after three days that do not revert my call I will disconnect your service . I had put request for change of address which is also not registered till date. In spite of sending her this message she never called me back. I also told her my husband has already put application for disconnecting your service as your guys are not responding to his call also. His number was [protected].

I wonder it’s been two months I haven’t been addressed and I get important mails which I am not getting on my phone. So what is the use o[censored]sing your esteem service .

I want you to be aware of the negligence by your team as you will lose customers. I also need the docket number by you for further applications if this is not addressed as well.

I need immediate solution for the same as its been nightmare without mobile. If you cannot provide please feel free to reply to my mail .

I am also putting a copy of the same in your Vodafone centre at Fort.

Thankyou,
Regards

Hi,

I am using no. +91-[protected](PREPAID) from the last 3yrs in Delhi.

I switch my service provider to Vodafone on 01/07/2011 & to till date I am using Vodafone.

Between this time period due to some technical issues at Vodafone end, Vodafone completely blocked my no. on 08/08/2011, regarding this I made several complaints at Vodafone after which Vodafone re-activate my no. on 19/08/2011.

Now the issue is:
I wants to port out my no. from Vodafone because of their harassed services but Vodafone is not validating my port out request by saying that I have not completed 90 days with Vodafone but according to me I have completed 100 days with Vodafone & I am eligible for MNP.


The Facts are:

1) I had joined Vodafone on 01/07/2011.

2) Vodafone surprisingly barred all of my services on 08/08/2011.

3) After a tonnes of complaints, Vodafone Re-Activate my no. on 19/08/2011.

4) I have completed 100 days with Vodafone & wants to leave Vodafone because of their harassed services but Vodafone is denying it.

5) Vodafone is showing 19/08/2011 as my no. activation date with them, which is a technical issue at Vodafone end.

6) For MNP I submitted all the required documents along with a security deposit of Rs. 250 at Reliance Communications.

So, It is requested to Vodafone Team that please validate my MNP request & let me go.

It is requested to Consumer Complaints Forum that please look into the matter & do needful.

Thanx & Regards

This is Samba Siva Rao, Last Month 17th, I have taken a duplicate sim with the number [protected], because i lost it, around 20 Customer Care representatives and three vodafone stores professionals have assisted me for the activation of my sim card, but the surprise thing is every body will give their own assumption about the problem "Active Call Barrings" when i am trying to make a call. but, nobody solved my problem.
A Vodafone distributor in my home town Piduguralla who don't have high pay scale, professional qualification etc. activated my sim card within 24hrs.

He specified the problem as follows
1.Vodafone store gave dummy sim
2.They never try deactivate my already activated call barrings at the time of sim block

Because of those professionals who don't have knowledge regarding the problem of customer I have visited the store three times from 50Km distance and I suffered because I mentioned that number as my contact in campus recruitment drives.



Finally on 6th OCT a distributor activated and now I am converting to BSNL network.
