I am a student. I have been using the campus pack for 3 years now. Last year i paid for validity upto 2013, but my campus pack service was suspended 3 days ago. They said that they 'are not supposed to inform me that my campus pack is expiring'. They had informed me for the last two years few days prior to recharge for validity extension. Last year, they told me i wouldnt need a validity extension recharge for my campus pack till 2013 but now they say i need to recharge it every year and 'that's my problem'. And now they are not ready to do anything to get me back my plan.

sir please provide the full detail of this no. [protected] as we are getting unwanted calls as soon as possible

Hi,,

I went to recharge my Vodafone number. In Vodafone there is an option of 80 on 80,, means if you recharge your # with 80Rs you will get a full 80Rs balance.

I generally do recharge by internet but some reason this time i went to shop for recharge.
But that shopkeeper told me that he will charge 10Rs extra as you are getting full talk time. I asked him if its for 80Rs and the company its self not asking extra charges you are not suppose to take. He said that its a rule in M.P. that you have to pay extra charge. I went to another shop and they did recharge it in 80Rs.

I was sure that we don't have to give any extra amount on any recharge to shopkeeper or a dealer but what about the people like or mom dad who hardly use there mobile phones and they don't know about recharge terms and condition.

Dealers already having there commission from the company and they are still asking for extra income.

I am not sure this complaint will will be considered or not but I would just like to drag your attention on this kind of activity are taking place if we don't take action against them they will keep continue and others will also start doing this.

This is STD PCO shop at Jawahar Chowk Sarswati Nagar (Just next to Vidhya Mandir Stationary shop) TT Nagar Bhopal (M.P.)

Hello,
My Mobile number is [protected]
complant number C[protected]
From the past 5days Rs5.33 has been deducted from my mobile account balance without any reason.
I had launched a complaint regarding the same to the customer care.
The customer care said that some service is active and and told me to send sms
CAN VL 16 SMS 144
I have send this sms more than 4 times.But still my money is getting deducted everyday.I want all my money back.This is fraud by vodafone because of which I am suffering.I need an explanation as soon as possible

Hello,
This is regarding data plan charges levied to me which I have never asked.. My Vodafone number is a corporate number under special plans. Last month, in June I called up Vodafone to activate data services on my number. I was told that Vodafone mandates that for activation/deactivation of any plan/services, they require mail from registered mail ID as the plans are different from general public. Accordingly I mailed their corporate care ID to activate Rs.98/- (2GB data plan). I had to follow-up their customer care a couple of times and after 2-3 days the data services were activated. I got a confirmation call from their department that Rs.98/- plan has been activated on my number.

Now, here comes the invoice for June-July wherein I have been charged Rs.199 for the data plan. There are charges of Rs.199 plus the pro-rata charges of Rs.73/- for 10 days. There is a charge of Rs. 30 too for 10 days o[censored]sage of Rs.98 plan. Interestingly, there are more charges o[censored]sage of data beyond 2GB limit.

I have been writing to Vodafone since 2 weeks now telling them I have never requested for Rs.199 plan and that I have only Rs.98/- plan running on my number. The guys are just adamant and telling me that I have both Rs.98 and Rs.199 plan activated on my number. I have also forwarded them the first mail which I had sent for activating data services in which I have clearly stated that I want Rs.98 plan. I have no idea who told them to activate Rs.199 plan. They haven't shown me any evidence yet wherein I have requested for Rs.199 plan, they are just making it up on their own and trying to fleece me..

By the way, Rs.199 is the unlimited data plan. I have tried hard but failed to get them to understand that if I was indeed on Rs.199 plan, I shouldn't have been charged for excess data but as I have been charged for data beyond 2GB, it serves as an adequate proof that their systems too have me on Rs.98 plan.

I had also called up 198 (Vodafone complaints number) and had a long discussion with Mr. Himanshu (senior level) about my problem. We checked the invoice I had received and could make out that there indeed are wrong charges of Rs.199 data plan in the invoice. He had promised me to reverse these charges in the next bill cycle. He advised me to pay the bill for this month as all reversals in any case would be made in next billing cycle only. He gave me his word and accordingly I have paid this month's bill.

On top of all this mess, my data services had been deactivated without informing me. This is just disappointing and uncalled for..

I wrote the same to corporate care telling them the whole issue again, my discussions with Himanshu and that I have paid my bill on his word. I requested them to reverse the charges as discussed and activate my data services asap. I got the reply and its the whole story again.. They have refused to reverse the charges and the data services aren't resumed as well.

I have heard several complaints from other Vodafone users about the billing issues and how they are charged unnecessarily for services they never asked but I never thought that I too would become a victim.

I would like Vodafone to look into this judiciously and reverse the unnecessary charges levied onto me.

hi Sir,
kindly tell vodafone to stop all FLASH masseges on my mobile no.[protected],as they send every 30 sec one flash msg, to subscribe this or that ringtones or there products, and if i touched any key from my mobile they cut Rs 30-40 form balance , i even activated DND but of no use.
Secondly i tried to call custmer care 121, but never get chance to talk any person from voda, as CC always speaks recorded msg---- you r not alowed to call custmer care.
kindly do the needfull.

I applied for Do Not Disturb on my Vodafone mobile no. couple of months back. But I still get many promotional SMSs almost every day such as VX Just 49, LM-HotDeal and many more different numbers.

Recently I have started getting promotional calls playing automated voice recordings from numbers such as [protected], [protected].

I have tried registering complaint with Vodafone couple of times but all they say is "Sorry, we will re-activate the DND service." I tried explaining but those stupid people don't understand my DND is already activated and re-activated, it doesn't need to be re-activated again and again, they need to note down the numbers from where I get the calls and file complaint with TRAI. These Vodafone customer care executives don't understand anything. I don't even know whether they are really so stupid or they are pretending to be.

i would like to change number potability, my mobile no is [protected],i had tried 3 to 4 times but the request is not done,i had call to the customer service centre but they were given answer try after some time,i want change my number other services,please accept my compliant.

I got one simm card post paid from vodafone office, pathankot.
the number was some thing XXXXX77119. Mr. Shammi was dealing the matter.
Due to address proof problem sim was deactivated within a day or so. I asked Mr. Shammi that let me deposit the fresh address proof as we are tenants and we have to move to different location within city after some time. He said the enquiry people has submitted a negative addrees proof report and your simm will be deactivated. After that you may not get the same number again. I asked him about refund of deposit and cancel the simm from my name. he promised me refund after cancellation of number in my name. I handed over the simm to him at the very moment.

Now How can vodafone has raising a bill for a simm which I never used?

Myself Mr.Giridhar,i had used a vodafone post paid number since one year and the number is [protected].. for this number bill is in due from 3months.the vodafone customer care person mr.Ravi called me to remind my due bill since then i have replied them please wait upto 1st of augst i will pay your due amount, but he collected a number which i regularly use to make a outgoing calls(from my diled list)/and he called to that number, and said that the person mr.giridhar had given your number as asecurity person number,he has not paid the bill since from 3months,the bill amount is 2400rs.so as he given your number as security person you have to pay the bill before 15:30 hrs on 26/07/2011,actually he called nearly 13:45 hrs.. and he asked the person to give your online banking details to deduct the money.and he blamed the person that he is going to file legal case on me (giridhar) and i am going includ your name in legal case which is going to block your passport like that he made feared the person.actually the person who is not at all legally related to this issue.

now my complaint is i have given the security person number as [protected], but he called another number from my dialed list.. how can he use my personal data,he haked my personal data and the vodafone company has failed to protect my personal informaion to others.and vodafone should not disclose my personal information to others without my permission.so the vodafone company has voilated to keep securing my information to others so i am puting my complaint in consumer court on vodafone for disclosing information to others.

the person called me is Mr.ravi as he said while talking with him. and called me and my friend who has paid the bill from [protected].

and one more complaint on vodafone that i want put is they hurt my feelings by collecting the bill from un authorised person which interm dicrease my pristage in socity.so i am appilling for hurting me. i dont knw that what it exactly means in law terminology.but i know in telugu language as '' paruvu nastam dhava'' i demand the explanation from vodafone as said earlier.

finally i request to vodafone please take it as a serious issue and do the needfull, Because i had never said to the customer care executives i will not pay the money like that, i always requested them to wait for some time in a desent and polite way. but they behaved indesent way, please take a action on Mr.Ravi([protected].) who has done the illegal activity and hurting the human egos, actually my friend is about to leave to abroad.. he mad the person so heasty and feard by saying your passport gonna block.

so please consider this as a serious issue.. and should not repeat

please contact me on [protected] for discussion and more details on this.



Thank you

Dear Sir,

I have mazor concern related to Customer Service provided by the company.

Currently I am availing the CUG connection ([protected]) for last one and half month. While availing this facility, the customer representative from Vodafone Call center adviced me to choose Rs. 399 Internet pack.

On telephonic conversation with the representative, I was told that the Net Surfing and Browsing are completely free and downloading charges would be there if downloaded from Paid Sites and other freeware products are completely free from downloading charges. And paid sites are those sites where the charges are mentioned for the products on the site. I was not aware of any Technical Specifications neither the Customer Representative told me about that. I was also not given any information about Hidden charges.

Now the services have been stopped by them instantly. When I inquired about the same, I got to know that I have been charged 5000 Rs. for using Internet through Vodafone Live. Now they are advising that I should have used Vodafone GPRS Settings instead of Vodafone Live.

This has completely shocked me and has troubled me a lot. I have mazor concern with Vodafone Customer Service Department. I have below questions on which I need your immediate response.

1. Why I was not given the above information prior availing this facility?

2 Also why I have not been informed by them on time about my Billing charges as my Credit limit was only 900 Rs. ?

3 Also why they did not stop my services when I crossed the limit of 900 Rs.? They should have immediately informed me about the same and also should have immediately stopped my services.

4 Now why they have stopped the services when the bills has crossed more that 5000 Rs. ?

I again had a recent conversation with Relationship Manager (Mini Kalra [protected]). She told me that Internet charges would be completely discounted once the bill would be generated. But now I am not being given the discount. So again a question ...

5 Why I am not being given the discount ?

6 Why can't they stuck with their words ?

This is really a mental tourcher to me which I am facing now from last 10 days. I kindly request you to take immediate action on the same and free me of this hassle.

I would really be thankful if you look into the matter and resolve it.


Thanks & Regards

dear sir

myself arun singla using phone no. [protected]. i had ported this no. on vodafone networks couple of months before from tata cdma.
today morning my no. was not working as vodafone had barred my no. for incoming and outgoing calls, wihtout informing any reason or sending any sms. on enquring the reason from coustmer care i came to know that there is some outstanding on our no. in the previous co. which was not true, as i had given the copy of the receipt and also vodafone executive had checked this out personaly from tata outlet that there is no outstanding balance against this no.
now i had tried vodafone coustmer care to register a complaint that you are harrasing the coustmer without any reason and lauch a complaint in this matter so that higher management should come to know about this issue but they had straight forwardly ignored the matter and said we wouldnt register a complaint in this matter.
according to me my service were hampered without any notice or any fault from our side and companies are taking advantage o[censored]s. if possible sir kindly look into the matter and if possible fine them for discontinuation of serveices without any notice or call. secondly there were no dues pending.
thirdly not registering the complaint. today i called coustmer care aroun 11:30 am and talked to Miss. Pooja, then she forwarded no. to miss Preeti and finally she farworded no. to mr. anuj. but nobody was ready to register a complaint.

This is to inform you that I am getting calls from [protected] , the person calling said that he is from Vodafone and my number has won 10 lakhs in lottery and please dial [protected] to get further details.My wife unknowingly that this could be fake number dialled the number.

I have searched about this on internet and found that this fake racket running from pakistan and many people are receiving these kind of calls.

Please take a note of it and take the appropiate action and please suggest in case something needs to be done from our end.

My complaint is that Vodafone number that is used by my family member gets unwanted messages all day long. I had registered the number for do not disturb through their website. Unfortunately I we got a message saying that it will take 45 days (believe me it is 45 days), which is by itself an unusually long time. Even after 45 days my family member complains of receiving unsolicited messages which not only drains the battery, causes serious concern of having to check if something important or relevant has been received only to realise that its the same unsolicited message. This is gross. Any attempt to call the customer care is so painful that we have given up on that.
Please help.

I (Debasmita Bhattacharjee) have purchased a Vodafone K3570-Z USB stick from Vodafone Store, c/o Maruthi clothing Co., Plot No.7-D, 1st phase,Doddanekundi industrial area, Whitefield road, Bengaluru-560048, opposite side of Graphite India on 28th June,2011 against my mobile no. [protected]. The Vodafone store guy has convinced me that with Rs1346/- installation charge I will get one month unlimited internet browsing ie. till 28th of July,2011. So after purchaing on the same plan, it was running perfectly till one week. On 5th July 2011, they have suddenly disconnected my connection & also deducted Rs 380/- which was already there in my sim for any other calling purpose. I went to the stall, they told me it will be connected within 24hours. But it hadn't. Again I went there on 8th. The story was same. Again I was convinced & came back with a thought that it will be activated within 24 more hours. But it hadn't. I went to the sore again on 11th July & after a hot conversation with me they told me the same.

I came back & went to the store on 13th again because it was not done & went with a mind set that if it will not be activated, I will return it back. They convinced me that they cant take it back, after an hour they have done it ok for me & also retured my Rs 380/-

Story is not end yet. Again the same problem started (no connectivity & balance was then negative ie deducted all Rs from there) from 24th July & I went to the store to get it done. But they didnt do anything & told me to go back home call after 3 pm to Raghu ([protected]). I called him but he was not picking it up, & then he switched it off. I tried to use the internet & as usual it was not happening. Today I have tried him again & he picked it up & told me "if I will call again & again he will sitch it off" & also ill treat with me. After few minutes he sent me as sms saying that we have requested you not to use internet before 26th, but you have used, that's why your ballance is negative, so we cant do anything, you have to recharge it again to continue.

That means, instead of one month I have got only 18 days unlimited connection, & moreover they have deducted my oringinal call balance. So please let me know how many time I have to visit the store to get it done or what is the procedure of get rid of this thing with full compensation back. I wish to switch over to any other connectivity.
