Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

I have applied for my PF on june-2010, i have worked 2 and half years in vodafone store, pondicherry. In my consultancy they gave me a pf account in Whitefield, Bangalore. But i,m worked in tamilnadu. I have sent the PF applied details to Whitefield also, still it is not processed. My PF no. is KN WF[protected]
my name is jayaraman.j

THIS IS A VERY URGENT EMAIL FOR THE NUMBER - [protected]

I AM UNABLE TO MAKE ANY OUTGOING CALLS BECAUSE VODAFONE DISCONNECTED MY OUTGOING CALLS FOR NO RHYME OR REASON

I WAS PROMISED THAT I WILL BE GIVEN A DIRECT DEBIT FACILITY. ON 15TH APRIL 2011 A REPRESENTATIVE FROM VODAFONE COMPANY CAME AND TOOK THE COMPLETED FORM FOR ECS SERVICE AS WELL AS A BLANK CHEQUE PHOTOCOPY. THEY ASSURED ME THAT THE DIRECT DEBIT WILL START FROM T15 WORKING DAYS - BUT LOOKS LIKE VODAFONE HAS AGAIN NOT LIVED U TO CONSUMER PROMISE

AND AS USUAL VODAFONE FEELS THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE THIEVES - THEY WILL NOT PAY MONEY AND RUN AWAY - SO THEY START HARASSING BY MAKING PHONE CALLS AND SENDING SMS'S ABOUT BILL REMINDER'S EVERYDAY

THEY HAVE HIRED GUFOONS IN THEIR CUSTOMER CARE WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY TALK OR WHAT THEY ARE PROMISING THEIR CUSTOMERS - ALL MY CONVERSATIONS WITH THEIR CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE BECAUSE THEY MAKE YOU WAIT FOR 154 MINUTES FOR EVERY QUESTION YOU ASK THEM - ONE VODAFONE CALL RESULTS FOR 1 HOUR AND YOUR PROBLEM IS NOT EVEN SOLVED

My name is Sarfarazali shaikh and my mobile no is [protected]. On 14th of may 2011, at night my balance was rupees150. When checked in the morning ,my balance was -44-05rp. When i cross-checked with customer care,they informed me that i had used GPRS.
I m using an iphone, n to use a GPRS i need to take a special package. There is no ways i can use internet n i dont have any option in my set for internet.Later on i visited customer care store in kuvempu road,shimoga where i had to spend my precious time of 1 hr.Each n every minute counts for me where i earn 500 rp/hr. I met customer care executive SANTOSH. He didnt solve my problem nor he refunded my money of 193rp on that he wasted my time.
When i started frowing then he said its not done by me.My senior Rajesh will take care of that n he is absent.He gave me his number as [protected] and he called him.It was out of reach.If for their employees they r not providing network ,how in the world wil they serve us.
This was not the first time i have faced this problem. A week before that,same thing happened n they refunded my money after 3 days.Now when my account has been to -44.05 rp, i then came to know that this has been happening.I have no idea how much more money they might have deducted from my account without my knowledge.Till now my money has not been refunded n i m facing a lot of problems.I want my money back not only which was deducted but also the one which has taken away without my knowledge.

Sir,

My outgoing calls were barred by vodafone without any warning message on Apr.27 at 8a.m. I had to keep calling the customer care in order to find out the reason for the same wherein after around a 120mins call , i was told that my credit limit had exceeded. I made a payment of Rs.1000/- after which my outgoing services were started , but only for 1 day. After this i visited vodafone center but they could not provide me any information regarding my billing details. My bill details which were sent to me on Apr.30, wherein my 21mins call to France was charged @ Rs.2100/- .

I checked the call rates via sms as told by vodafone, wherein i was told the rate is Rs.10 per minute for mobile. Also i visited vodafone store again on May.14, but they had no call rate detail regarding the code i had dialed and i was simply told that call rates were levied from France for my call and they can not do anything about it.

Today I contacted 198 again to confirm the ISD rates to France wherein i was again told that the call rates are Rs.10 per minute for mobile and on asking about the code i had called they had no information.

So, according to vodafone the number i dialed is a premium destination and ought to be charged at a higher rate, but they have no proof to produce.

I have wasted a lot of time , contacting customer care which is always busy and takes 40-50 mins to connect and also in visiting vodafone stores. My services are barred since last 18 days.

Kindly look into the matter.
I want my ISD call to be charged at Rs.10 per minute only which is the rate that their web site shows and also provided on sms.They should not unnecessarily levy a high charge in the name of premium destination.

Since 24 April 2011, I have been requesting for the deactivation of my Mumbai voadafone number due to my relocation to Delhi. I was guided by the customer care representatives to send mail, I did it several times but in vain. I have been calling the Customer care regularly to follow-up but still my mumbai phone no. is not deactivated. This is really pathetic and annoying. I would like to bring it to your notice how discomforting they have been and strict action required.

My mumbai no for deactivation is [protected].

I want the call and sms details of [protected].....as soon as possible.....plz help me......

I HAVE RECHARGED MY VODAFONE MOBILE NO.[protected] WITH COUPON OF RS 96 FOR GPRS SERVICE STILL I'M CHARGED FOR INTERNET FROM MY BALANCE. KINDLY HELP ME. VOADAFONE CARE IS NOT HELPING ME. EVERY TIME I RECHARGE MY BALANCE GOES NEGATIVE. I'M USING THIS NUMBER IN A USB DEVICE. CONTACT ME AT [protected].

Today I had the misfortune of going to the Vodafone store to get my Vodafone Matrix number ported over to Vodafone. I was given a token number as is the process and the token number , the casual attitude of your store employees ( Sector 18 Noida branch ) and their slow turnaround time ensured that I waste at least 1 hour before my turn came. In spite of close to 5-6 desks to service the customers , at no point of time during my entire 1 hour of stay in the store could I see your employees working on all the desks. This was more painful given the fact that this is perhaps the only Vodafone store for entire Noida and the day I am talking about was a weekend where the customer rush is supposed to be at a high. At this point of time I must commend you on hiring employees like Ms Deepika. They are surely the best brand ambassadors for your competitors like Airtel , Idea , Aircel as her attitude really drove me up against the wall and at one point really inspired me to use my this SIM to the fullest , throw it in the waste bin and move over to some other mobile service provider. A recorded tape recorder would be better able to do her duty , at least that would be always seated at its desk. However I still have some faith in the escalation level of the organizations so I continue with my tale of woes.

Once my turn came , I went to the executive with the required documents i.e. printout of the NoC from Matrix , Id/address proof to get my number moved over to Vodafone from Matrix. To my utter frustration , I was told that the NoC provided by Matrix in e-mail would not be construed as a valid document. I am amazed that in today's increasingly paperless world , Vodafone insists on behaving like a dinosaur. You should realize that if you behave like dinosaur , you will meet the same fate i.e. become extinct. Even Government offices are going the e-way Vodafone insists on going back to the stone age.

Furthermore your below mail affirms my understanding that movement from Matrix to Vodafone is not similar as movement from say Airtel / Idea etc to Vodafone as Matrix is probably a sister concern of Vodafone or it has some internal tie-up. In this case your pathetic attitude is more painful, if Vodafone and Matrix are indeed linked at some level , then surely Matrix employees should know best that converting to Vodafone requires a hardcopy of the NoC and their soft copy of the NoC is not construed as a genuine document by Vodafone store employees. This lack of knowledge of processes on your part is really frustrating and I am certain that I would be talking about this "service" of Matrix to all my known ones so that they don't get tied up in Matrix.

At this point of time my question to Vodafone and Matrix is that do you expect your customers to waste time repeatedly , haggle with your un co-operative store employees just because your processes are archaic , anti customer ? This attitude of yours forces me to believe that you want your old loyal customers to port over to some other provider rather than providing them with a level of service which is their right.

again caller tune service has been activated and our balance has reduced to o .kindly do something vodafone company chor he chor kamine

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have taken one vodafone postpaid connection last sunday on 08/05/2011 for my wife. The number alloted to me was[protected]. We initially had loads of problem with regards to starting of services. It was around 25-30 times we had to call vodafone call centre. We have almost visited 3-4 times to the vodafone store also.

However, in the interaction there is this employee of vodafone (introduced himself as Manoj) who took calls for configuring 3G services on the mobile phone.From that moment onwards he is giving harrasment calls from two of his cell phone numbers[protected] and[protected]. There is a comprehensive mischief being done by some of the call centre frustrated employees which i believe could be more than one in this case who are harrasing us. We are getting all lewd smes and have to forcefully, shut down our number.

I want this case to be taken seriously. Hence, i have lodged a police complaint also in this regards on those two numbers and n other numbers of blanks calls. Vodafone should also view it serious and monitor their calls and employees for such personal data breaches. I am not asking for Vodafone for any compensations but harsh punish for such demeaning employees.

This is a very urgent requirement for details of a vodafone number.The Number Details is [protected],[protected],[protected].A person from this number is giving miss calls to my sister mobile number & harrashing her.When I called in that number the person or owner of that particular mobile is saying abusive words.I need immediately the details of the particular person who is owning the above number to take necessary steps against that particular person.

My complaint is regarding my documents which i submitted for Mobile Number Portability to Vodafone Care Center at Rajiv Chowk Metro Station, but they don't give me services which they promised and take my documents(I.D Proof, address proof, P.P size photographs). I visited 5-6 times there for the required service but they did'nt take any action and not even give my documents back to me.

1 , (Hello!Recharge for a total amount of Rs 202 from 6-20 Apr& get Talktime of Rs. 14 ! Extra Talktime will be credited within 48 hours. Call 121 to know more.) - I got this message on April 07 2011 at 1:39 pm.

2 , (Your account has been refilled successfully by INR 1.22. Your Vodafone prepaid account balance is Rs 0.14. Your Transaction ID is KK[protected].) - I got this message on April 09 2011 at 6:02 pm.

3 , I lodged a complaint with vodafone on 14 april at 7:36 pm complaining about the recharge balance of 14 PAISA. And they gave me a complaint registration number - (Hello! Your service registration number is [protected]. We shall respond to your query by Friday 15-Apr-11 06:00p.m.)

4 , I got this one more message - (Congratulation! You have got free talk time worth Rs 14 credited on[protected] to your Vodafone Prepaid Mobile. Happy Talking.)

This is what pissed me off , RECHARGED FOR 202 RUPEES AND GOT 14 RUPEES.

Well my problem is till today i have not received the rupees that was promised me. and today my balance is 8.04 paisa.

I would like to see some action taken on these cheaters , imagine cheating a million people is equal to a profit of 2 crores,!

please please look into the matter, I have the messages and necessary proof to bring these thieves to justice.

thanks to whoever is bold enough to take action.
