Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

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.

Hi,
I have to submitt a complaint against vodafone regarding wrong commitment while selling data card and internet plan. They offer me a 2G plan and said we are providing speed upto 3.6 Mbps in net surfing and 256 Kbps as downloading but after purchasing the data card on 24-sep-11. I get only speed of 70Kbps as surfing and only 1-2 Kbps as dowloading. I have already regester many complaints in vodafone care but still no solution. If require you can call me on [protected]

Hello Team,



I am completely aware that applications do use VMC, but the settings should be available on your phone to use these services. I refuse to pay these charges as this is the 2nd time that the charges have been levied on my phone (on the 2nd no). So now i am aware that its a good way of making money from customer's, and there are many customer's who have experienced this challange before and i am already one of those. I am definately ready to pay any charges that i have used but will not pay for something that i have not used. If this is how it works i am ready to port out all my number's from Vodafone to Idea who is atleast competitent to understand such problems.



Many thanks


Thanks

Dear Mr. Bhatia,



Thank you for your email dated 06/10/11, regarding Vodafone mobile number [protected].



Further to our conversation, we wish to inform you that there are certain applications like YouTube, video/music streaming (e.g. Music Junction), tickers on HTML sites, handset applications and MMS which uses Vodafone mobile connect as access point and will be charged @ 10p/10KB.



While accessing internet on your mobile phone make sure that the access point used by you is WWW, so that you get the benefit of Vodafone Mobile connect usage as per your plan



Mr. Bhatia, it would seem that there are application’s on your handset that are continually auto updating, using the Mobile Connect services, hence the charges levied.



Please note that most handsets have inbuilt settings for both the above services and while surfing and downloading you will get the option to choose between these two services. You will be billed depending on the service selected by you to browse/ download.



Mr. Bhatia, we would be unable to reverse these charges, since they are correctly billed. We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused.



In case you need further assistance, please do call or email us. We‘ll do our best to help you.



Happy to help,

Hi,



I dont think the services are working right with you guys. I am utterly disappointed and irriated with sending emails every month for something or the other. Previously i was charged for VMC on my no - [protected] and now all of a sudden i have received a bill of 2500 approx where i have been charged 1535.30 for VMC. I dont understand how does your service change automatically where as VMC should not be even active on this number. This is getting out of hands and if this continues i would be forced to PORT OUT all my number's from Vodafone to a differnet service provider. Kindly provide me with a very valid explanation of this as i am not ready to buy your point of this being my fault again.

Hi,

I am another dis satisfied customer of Vodafone, who has been incorrectly charged again. I got this number transferred in the month of May 2011 and since then i am facing tremendous issues with Vodafone. On 2nd June 2011 i send them an email requesting them to activate the V L 99 unlimited service on my phone and post which i got the basic information about how to activate the service, when i spoke with an agent i was informed that i need to deactivate the Vodafone live 0 rental service and post which i will be able to activate the Vodafone live 99 unlimited service. I placed a request for the same and the service got activated.

Going fordward when i checked my unbilled usage it was constantly on a high and upon calling Vodafone i was tolda to call after the bill is generated. To my surprise the bill reached up to 2400(approx) and after that i was informed that i was chagred Rs1954.20 for using the internet service. I immediately called up the customer care and i was informed that i was charged for Vodafone Mobile connect service which was activated on my phone and i should have called to deactivate this serivice if i didnt wanted to be charged for any internet usage.
How on earth would a layman know that he needs to deactivate VMC service and keep the VL99 unlimited service on and make changes to APN settings from the phone. I was never informed by any technical support agent to make such changes.
When i called up the customer services i was informed by a vodafone agent that there is a flaw in the system and a technical support agent should have informed me about changing these settings and deactivating VMC or using a different APN.
After this conversation i did send an email and i got an unsatisfactory response via email that i will have to pay the charges as i have used the service.
Going fordward i did call up the customer services and spoke with Tasmia Khan a customer services supervisor and even she agreed that i should have been informed about this and actually i should not have been charged this amount as i have the VL99 unlimited, but she couldnt send this information to the technical team as it would be an error on her part and she completely refused to provide me with any solution.

I have always had such kinds of trouble from vodafone and i have all the email sent to the, kept with me. I would need to seek assistance from the consumer court as this matter has gone out of hands now.

Dear Mr. Bhatia,


Thank you for your email dated 07/07/11, regarding Vodafone mobile number [protected].



We have checked your bill date 04/07/11 and confirm that the GPRS charges of Rs. 1954.20 applied towards Vodafone mobile connect usage are indeed accurate.



Mr. Bhatia, we would like to inform you that as you have selected the access point of Vodafone mobile connect/WWW you have not received the unlimited benefit of VF Live [protected]@Rs 99 plan active on your account Hence, we request you to kindly choose the access point of Vodafone live/WAP to enable the benefit o[censored]nlimited usage.



We assure you that our Billing System accurately monitors and records usage of each SIM Card. This ensures that you are billed only for the service which you have actually utilized.



We would not be able to reverse these charges, since they are correctly billed.



We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused to you.



In case you need further assistance, please do call or email us. We’ll do our best to help you.

Hi,



Problem continues with the service, now after activation of the service i have received a bill of 2400 approximately, when i called up to inquire i was informed that i have used a different set of services from the phone which i shouldnt be using.



Neither i was informed about this nor would a layman know about this, this is gone out of hands now, i would like every penney to be reversed for the internet service.



After speaking with your agent Manpreet i was informed that this a common problem and will be sorted out, i was also informed to mention that i was using the Access point as Vodafone Mobile connect, where as it should have been Vodafone live and because of this i have been charged a wholesum of money. Below are my details and i will request you to kindly provide me with the necessary reversal and get this issue sorted out.

Hi team,

I am unable to activate the Rs99 GPRS facility on the below mentioned number. When I called up the customer services I was informed tht I need to sms ACT VLU99 and send it to 111 post which the service will get activated. But as expected it didn't work, so I called up the customer services again and I was informed to send an email. So if my service could be activated please and below are my details.

Name. Sanesh BhatiaNumber.[protected]Service required. Rs 99 GPRS

This is very irritating and annoying that I have to call up repeatedly and still my services don't work.

ThanksRegards,Sanesh Bhatia

SIR,
I made online recharge for my mobile [protected] with RC26, which is supposed to be 200 Vodafone to Vodafone free minutes during 11pm to 8am. But after recharging i didnt got what i expected. When i called customer care and enquired about it, they mentioned that the plan has changed and they didnt updated the plan in the website. I asked for the refund, but they mentioned that they cant do anything. Here i blame vodafone for not updating in the websit3e.

I want to make sure i get my money refund or let the plan i expected to be activated. I hope u can take action as soon as possible....

I am attaching the details of online recharge, transaction number and evertything with this complaint.... Please find the attachments........

Area: Andhra Pradesh(Kadapa)

I subscribed to Vodafone 3G. I am a post paid no. user. I subscribed to a plan that gives 2GB data usage free. My complaint is that there is no means by which i could check weather i have exceeded the 2 gb limit. this lead to exubriant charges after 2gb and my monthly bill that was expected to be around 1500 has come to be 9500. there should be a way to check the usage.

Dear Sir,

I am using Vodafone ([protected]) services from last 4-5 Years but now a days services and commitment are not good.

This is to bring to your kind attention that i received a call from Vodafone side regarding No. porting Mr. Lakshya was executive he asked me why you want to port your no.
I told him because of service and plan then he offer me a new plan 299 (199+100) which have free calls (400std+600Local) & some national sms and after free calls call charges would be 30p for local and 50p for std.

Request no. is[protected].

But till the date above plan is not activated on my no. [protected]

This is request to you please activate the same plan on my no. as 1 time i also visited Vodafone store they told me "yes" it was committed to you, and we will give you but till the date there is no action.

Please do it ASAP.

I am totally frustrated from your services.

Hi,

I have took 3G connection with Vodafone last month. I have been using the same connection for the last 4years. Last week i went abroad and activated my international roaming with my vodafone postpaid number. Before activating i have checked with customer care regarding the charges, and they confirmed that there is no Extra Data roaming charge. So i used mobile internet and after 5 days on 17th sep,my connection disconnected without any intimation.I checked in my account and i found that my outstanding bill amount is Rs.8,200/-.19th sep, i had send mail to nodal officer and evening i got reply that my connection activated for incoming calls and messages.Then again i checked my account and i surprised with the unbilled amount, it was Rs.32,000/-. Without any connect for 2 days how Rs.28,000/- popped up still a mistery. And for this there is no answer from concenred authority they are constantly telling that i have used data roaming and this charges i should pay.
But my concern is 1. my credit limit is Rs.6,400/- and why they did not informed me regarding crossing of this limit or why they continued their service after crossing this limit. 2.These are all happened only because of Customer care executives wrong information and vodafone officers not accepting this issue.3.How 8,200 became 32,000 without any connection for 2 days.
Kindly suggest and advice me to go forward.

Sreekanth E

Vodafone, a hopeless provider!! I recently wanted to switch my service provider so that i can use my new iphone. Could not think of any provider other than who launched 3G services with so hype. And the out come? its more than 15 days and m at the same state.I am trying to contact their customer care representative at Gaurav tower, Malviay Nagar store and he is not picking the phone. I have been to the store thrice in a hope that they will value their customer.
Oh i forgot to mention, the representative on the store asked me to stay back at home for verification to take place.... I took 2 half day leaves from office for this purpose :)
I have decided, i will opt for some other provider who actually need customers and are willing to provide service.

I bought Samsung 3G mobile on 31st Aug 2011 & I inserted the SIM card same day.

As per the GS2 scheme I was supposed to get 6 months 3G 1GB data connnection free. I received an SMS from Vodafone that my 3G connection has been activated but later on after 1 mth I get billed for more than Rs. 3100/- on the Internet surfing under Vodafone Live & when inquired I got to know that my free 3G connection is also not active.... I logged a complaint & they said they will revert in 3 working days but there was no call from Billing department... Pls help me with the ASAP.

I got offer from vodafone on 01/10/11 .they offered me one month gprs pack 50 rs. Then i activated it. But they deducted 98 rs for my balance i will complaints for three times for vodafone customer care but not responsive
