Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

I am a subscriber of Vodafone, and had paid last month bill about 16-17 days back vide credit card slip. The money was withdrawn from my account on 28th May, 7-8 days late.

However, since the last 10 odd days, everytime I try to make a call, I hear a taped message reminding me of the payment due, and threatening that the number will be disconnected.

This message is still coming, and I feel harrassed mentally, as I make almost 10-20 calls per day, and it results in wastage of almost 10-20 minutes, apart from the embarrassment among my colleagues. Would also like to inform you that my credit limit is Rs.25000, and it is sheer arrogance and intent to harrass the customers by the company, that is reflected in these type of messages.

My Name is Prasanna Narayan Borah and my Phone Number is [protected].

This is regarding my MNP request for my connection number: [protected].
As per the stated procedure, I created the request on 25th May 2011 and received the porting code as: VZ359228.
I on receiving this code, approached the receiver provider (docomo) and submitted all the required documents and completed the procedure. But to this date the porting hasn't happened. I contacted the receiver and they mentioned that the donor (vodafone) has rejected the request.
I then approached your customer care and vodafone store and was given the reason that the number portability cannot happen as this is a corporate connection. I asked them to provide me the same in writing or provide me the documentation mentioning this. But they were unable to do so.
Thus requesting you to provide me TRAI regulation which states that the number portability cannot be done for corporate connections. Also it has been already 15 days but no one from vodafone told me about this, although I got many calls with retention offers.
Please note that I want everything in writing as I plan to go legal as this is disregard for TRAI norms and have already caused me great problems.
Vodafone customer care does not know what the issue is and each different customer support person tells a different story. They are the most pathetic bunch of people.
I have already mailed to vodafonecare.[protected]@vodafone.com and ashish.[protected]@vodafone.com (Nodal office Vodafone for MH) and waiting for the response.
As per the Nodal officer details listed on www[dot]trai[dot]gov[in]/sp/24mayvodafone.pdf for Maharastra Region, I tried calling at both the numbers provided there viz: [protected] & [protected] and both are not working. Even the Nodal officer's number is provided wrong by Vodafone. Is the TRAI sleeping? We consumers need to provide 10s of documents to get connections and the nodal officer's number is not verified by TRAI. This is great! What amazes me is that TRAI's home page has Mahatma Gandhi's image and Slogan as 'Truth Only Prevails'. For me they are nothing but bunch of crooks.

Hi,

I am Prepaid Vodafone customer. Can you please stop the pop up messages? I am totally dissatisfied with these pop up messages. My number is [protected]. If this continues, I'd be more than happy to quit from Vodafone. My usage of phone is very less. Kindly stop the pop up messages from VODAFONE.

Thanks,
Srinivas.

TO THE CUSTOMER CARE MANAGER,

I regret to inform you that unnecessary delays are being done on releasing my number to other service provider as I have opted to Port out .

I had given request on 28th May , 2011 ( VM319292) . I received a call from customer care executive next day and i provided all the reasons for porting out.

To my dismay I have received an text message sometime back from Vodafone centre that my porting request Has been logged in today. It is this type of shoddy service due to which i am porting put. ( there have been several such cases with my other cell numbers when vodafone has been providing service.
Now even after after repeated followup I have not yet been sent a ebill ( for which I have registered Long back) which is supposed to be generated on end of billing cycle(4th June)

I don't want to say much as I have lost all the confidence in your services. I shall not be recommending Vodafone to any of my friends and relatives in the future.
I request you to release my number without any further delay. ( I have already cleared my dues on unbilled amount even without getting the bill)
Yours Sincerely
Nikhil Shukla

I am using vodafone Edge K3570-Z in my PC my network bar showing full signal but it is not giving even minimum speed of 100kbps in trouble shout my PC presented the error message of "your PC perfectly configured but your network providers DSN server is not responding" I was tried to contact to the customer care but cal is not connecting to the call center exicutivies.

i'm highly dissatisfied with the services and the behaviour of th customer care exacutives of vodafone. from last two days my gprs was not working...i called to customer care regarding the same, n spoke to a guy named 'raj'...he did not filed any complaint and asked me to wait for 6 hrs...and in the evening that cheap guy called me from his personal number started humiliating me...next morning (7 june 2011)...still my internet was not working...i called customer care again..this time also no one filed my complaint...i was asking the executive to file a complaint n provide me the complaint number..bt he didnt...i was really irritated...after some time i call again..the guy who attended my call told me his name 'dixit'...he was really misbehaving with me and was using abusive language..and when i asked him to transfer my call then he refused to do the same...i dont understand why a reputed company vodafone is hiring such cheapsters in customer care...i request to take some immediate action against these people.

thankyou

my vodafone no is [protected].plz deactivate my caller tune from this no.

My number is [protected], Vodafone has disconnected my outgoing calls only because my bill has exceeded the total credit limit by Rs 190 (Credit limit is decided by Vodafone). I tried to pay online through my Vodafone, however the bill is not yet generated even after 3 days of my billing cycle. I can not pay without having my bill in my hand. When i contacted customer care they said me to first pay some amount upfront. How can they expect anyone to just pay without even getting a invoice/bill copy? I am ready to pay my bill provided they give me copy of the bill. How can even they disconnect outgoings even when the bill is not yet generated in their system. I am not a defaulter/ blacklisted person to get my outgoing disconnected. This is ridiculous. I would like to know whether i can sue the company for this. Is there any law which allows them to do so? Please help.

But u my friends don't get into their fake scum these pakistani's really raskals they will mis use your phone no.

Dear Mr. Raheja,

Thank you for your email dated 31/05/11, regarding your Vodafone number [protected].

Further to our conversation, we confirm that we have checked your bill dated 18/05/11 and confirm to you that the blackberry usage charges charged are indeed accurate.

Our billing systems accordingly register and monitor usage on each SIM card, thus ensuring complete security and reliability. You would certainly not be charged for service which has not been utilized by you.

We will be unable to reverse any charges as they are charged genuinely. You would definitely not be billed for the services that have not been used by you.

Mr. Raheja, below are the details to contact our Nodal Officer anytime from Monday to Friday, between 9:30 am and 6:00 pm.

Name : Zillah V
Contact : +[protected]

For activation of Blackberry unlimited [protected]@599 we request you to kindly forward the below mentioned sms command

· ACT<<space>>BBP599


On receipt of the same command the request will be processed within 4 hours

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

So then i spoke to Zillah and gave him the compliant number he said we can not do anything as always before email service was included in blackberry plan 499 so there now how can the charge extra i asked him for the detail which he said i am not aware but there excess usage for which this is the charges as it only email charges it cannot come so much as the PDF file don't open on my blackberry mobile and most of the times the full images on the mail don't even open and my usage is not much on the mobile.

Please look into to the matter and take action in the matter with regard to wrongful charges by Vodafone so the same can be reverse immediately and leave this Rs.9295 i have paid the balance charges i told Zillah to give in writing writing which he has not done so please resolve the problem immediately so i do not have any problem with my connection in future

Thanking you.

first of all i would like to take this opportunity to tell all the mobile service user that don't ever relate yourself to any kind of services provided by VODAFONE company.Now the topic of my frustration i recharged my vodafone number ([protected]) with 149 GPRS pack.I did that so that i could get a good speed if not better.since that day i have been trying to connect to internet(through my PC) ,and to be sure that no one blames my PC for this i have used other service providers sim on it and they run pretty decently,but many times couldnot connect to it.Even if got connected it gives a pathetic speed of 100bps or maximum speed of 1 kbps.So i tried calling the customer care and requested them to see whats wrong and do something about it.As usal they told me to do some stupid stuff which i did and even that didn't solved my problem.if this was not the height of my frustration now vodafone has some how blocked me from complaining or even try to talk to the executive.So now when ever i call there customer care the nice lady tell me that they are happy to help me but when i press the button for talking to the executive the voice starts repeating the same starting menu again.So what i want is that they should get my problem(both of them) solved and solved means no promises i need it done or just give my 150 rupees back your choice.

Hi, my name is Priyanka i have a sim card no [protected] in my mothers name & that sim card is lost i have given a request on 28th May 11 to deactivate my card & send me a new sim card & i was been told that i wil get the new sim card in 48 wrkng hours but i have not got so again i have called them on 2nd june & i was been told the same bt yet i have ot recvd so again when i called them on 4th june 11 & i was been committed that i will get the sim card by the End of the Day which i have not got & when i enquired about the same i found that my Room No was mentioned wrong & because of which the sim card was going on the wrong address and because of no available on that address it was returned back stating the door was locked, so whe i requested them to change the room no which is just one digit that has to be changed they are telling me to visit Vodafone Gallery for the same, just because of their executive mistake why shud i suffer and be in a problem also i dont have that much time to go to their Gallery, i spoke to the executive Jagtap who was not able to assist me and than asked him to transfer the call to his senior who after requesting 2 times came on call & when i spoke to their Floor Supervisor Tushar he was not able to assist me for the same . I am very frustrated please request you to help me in getting my Address changed online and delivery my Sim Card on the correct room no.

Dear sir.,

Hello, i am Amit from mumbai, i am using vodafone numbers from last 5 year previously it was good but from last 6 months this is the worst network in Anushakti Nagar Mumbai. i logged a complaint several times but everytime customer care executive (network) says our work is going on and it will be solved in next 10 days ........ it's almost now 3 months following them but nothing happened. i am going to disconnect all the 4 vodafone numbers which i have and will suggest everyone not to use Vodafone .......

This time had a word with Amit Pareek from vodafone network department, he dont have any information and was very irresponsible.

if this is the service vodafone provides to their customer, the worst company it is now a days.

Thanks

Amit

Hello Sir,

This is Nipun Jain. I am working in HCL Comnet (Gurgaon).Last month on dated 27th April,2011, I switch to Vodafone Post-paid mobile connection.I received my first bill from ( 27th April,2011 to 2nd May,2011) on 13th May,2011.I paid that bill on 16th May,2011. The second bill I just get my bill details from dated 2nd May,2011 to 1st June,2011. And I was shocked seeing the bill details because it is just more than the double amount I make usage (Proof : I am regularly & continuously in contact with bill details through *111# procedure to check current details)

Problem 1: The bill details which have to be updated on exactly 1st June,2011 updated on 3rd June,2011 i.e Late by time . Not only this it was updated with quiet high amount that I totally loose my trust on Vodafone. It's just more than the double amount I see today (3rd June,2011) at 2:00 PM that is = Rs 461.63/- nearly & in the evening it showed to Rs 855.54/- nearly. Not only this , since I was not satisfied with previous amount of Rs 461.63/- also & when I talked to customer care on 2nd June,2011 regarding the high generation of amount (Because I am engaged in current plan of 150/- with HCL benefitts attached ), I was also not provided with these benefits by Vodafone. But customer care unsatisfied me wagely that it will be updated correctly on 3rd June,2011. And see that is their updations.


Problem 2 : Every time I asked customer care to check details for my bill, they just say one thing that "Server is down right now & they are unable to process my request or either check my details". Same is the answer when I asked them to give me my request number. I was just provided with Number ' 341 ' as request number when talked to Mr. Sanjay but I don't think so it a valid & complete request number.The answer is so wage & unsatisfied that I can't provided my request number or complaint number.

" Mr. Kunal Singh is one of such person. "


Problem 3 : After updated my account with such long amount Vodafone stopped my outgoing call services by giving alert that I should submit my billing amount first to continue my services again. This is just like more than any harassment.

I am a very busy person & my job as DBA is also quiet hard working. I can't get much time to fight against with all customer cares or call them again & again clarifying my problem to different persons all the time. The behavior of Vodafone is making me so headache that I can't even sleep freely. Customer care is not at all supportive or co-operative.

This is my personal request to please see through the matter as soon as possible, So that I get relief from one of these heavy queue of tension.

Thanking you,


NIPUN JAIN
