Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

I have contacted Vodaphone more than 10 times in last 1 month via calling their customer service number, sending SMSs to their designated numbers but I have not been able to procure setting for their GPRS/3G network.

However, I had activated my vodaphone live almost a month back and that has been activated and I am being charged for the same. The internet doesnt work at all.

On calling their customer care, I have to pay additioanl charge to just speak with customer service representative. Normally it takes 6-8 mins before I can get hold of someone. The person asks me to send the SMS to the numbers which I have tried so many times. They do not have any other answer. And there is no way to fix the issue as well. I haven't seen such pathetic call service.

I think time has come for Anna hazare like ban on using Vodaphone sim. Then only the company will work on improving their service.

This is regarding complaint against Vodafone India, i am not able to activate blackberry services on my Vodafone number:[protected]. I had lodged complaint regarding this to the customer care executives they promised me it will be solved within a day now its been more than 2 weeks its not been solved yet ,i also logged complaint at vodafone gallery mapusa but they are saying they cant help. and apart from this my call to vodafone customer care has been barred as i tried calling them regarding my problem,i also used to call them from my friends numbers regarding same complaint they also bloacked their calls to customer care number that is 198.I am reporting this as they are irresponsible and when asked about my problem that are saying its not their work.
Hope its solved at the earliest.

After speaking to Indrasis Sengupta ([protected]) of SME Enterprise Solution Department, Vodafone India we had placed an order of 5 3G USB Devices. The following rental plan o[censored]nlimited 3G data plans with a monthly rental of Rs 599 per device was activated. A reduced rental of Rs 499 per month per device would be activated after ordering a 5 Devices.

To our utter disbelief we discovered from 10th April 2011 all our devices were suddenly giving EDGE speed and were not connecting with 3G speed as initially committed. Indrasis had always maintained that all our plans would be 3G unlimited. This same commitment by Indrasis was also made to other companies who have taken 5 Devices for 3G Unlimited Plan.

After speaking to someone from Vodafone Customer Care - Swati ([protected]) and Vodafone Tech Support - Arnab ([protected]) we discovered that there were no Unlimited 3G Plans offered by Vodafone. Our 3G Devices had a trial period, after expiry we would have to pay extra to enable 3G services. This information was never communicated by Indrasis. As per his commitments our devices were always meant to work on unlimited 3G data plans as he had introduced this offer to us as a special promo corporate plan and sold 5 devices to our company.

On speaking to him, he conveniently denied ever committing to 3G Unlimited Plans. He maintained that the plans were 2G unlimited and not 3G. We fail to understand this as the same commitments were made to other companies who have been duped into purchasing 5 devices each with unlimited 3G Data Plans.

Indrasis also spoke to our managing partner in a very aggressive tone, his conversation was laden with expletives and threatening behaviour.

At this moment we are disappointed customers of Vodafone, we request you to restore unlimited 3G Data Services or give us a full Refund of our device cost as we do not wish to continue with Vodafone. We also understand that for one unruly employee the whole organization cannot be blamed. Therefore we demand that strict action against Mr. Indrasis Sengupta be taken for his false commitments and unruly behaviour.

I had a post-paid Vodafone connection ([protected]) since December 2006. I have disconnected my connection due to change of city on 04-Dec-2010. The request number for the same is [protected]. I was promised to get return my security money (Rs. 2000.00) within 60 working days to the address I have given for refund. The request number for the same is [protected]. But till today (12-April-2011), I have not received any money form Vodafone.
Every time I contacted the concerned person, he wrote me: "after 60 days you will get refund" and now he stops replying or responding my e-mail. Nobody is answering/replying from Vodafone. (ghose.[protected]@gmail.com)

Hi this is saket i am a regular customer of vodafone mumbai no.however when i call customer care of vodafone for troubleshoooting my vodafone live.they were not able to transfer my call to technical department.I dont know for what reason.also vodafone customer care services are very poor.It takes 20-30 minutes to pick on single call on 111.i really never expect this from vodafone .From last 3 year i have been using its services and never faced such problem.I also talked with one relationship manager on call however he was also not able to assist me properly.First of fall he put me on hold for another 5 minutes then he cameback and when i asked him for transferring me to technical department he just refused it.His name is "Asit".I would really appreciate if any one could take this to vodafone and help it out many customer who are suffering from such bad services.Thank you

Dear Sir/Madam,

i am extremely disappointed with the services of a higly reputed mobile service provider vodafone. i had opted to port out of vodafone to IDEA. they have been harrasing me ever since. its been mental torture and drain out for me. no amount of writing letter to the consumer court has helped. they keep rejecting my offer saying its due to some contractual agreement.

they have deactivated all my services since a week. i am stranded.
i am hoping you would initiate a campaign against them and look into the matter. it just leaves me wondering is this what the rights are provided for. i am extremely angered and dissappointed. i look forward to u helping me out.

i here with enclosed the letter written to the following persons, and i have received no response till date.

Ref : Unfair Practice by your firm in Rejecting & Holding my porting request by



Dear Sir / Madam,



I (Niraj N.Chamaria) is using the number ([protected]) with you for the last 5 years. I had put a request for MNP and the Unique Porting Code received is (VM241476).

I would like to categorically state that I am not satisfied with your network & service and hence would like to port to IDEA. However I received a message from your company that I cannot port out because my number ([protected]) is under “Contractual Obligation”.



Also, I would be thankful to know what kind of contract I have signed with your organization and if you have any such document please be kind enough to furnish it. I hope I will get the response of my above query in a reasonable time limit. Failing which, I will knock the door of consumer forum for violating my rights to resign from your service as per the MNP rules of TRAI. Also, I will file a suit for all the mental stress you people have given to me.



Kindly sort this issue with proper formal explanation at earliest failing which I shall be compelled to refer this matter to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India as I have every right to get rid of your poor services. Also please do not force me to take action against you through legal course and through regulatory authorities. Hence I request you to kindly process my request without any further delay.



With regards



Niraj N.Chamaria

Respected sir/madam,
Two months back i had purchased vodafone k3570 usb stick. During that time vodafone had not launched its 3g service wherein bsnl and tata docomo had already launched their service.So vodafone used to lure customers by giving them false promises.One such promise was that they will offer unlimited internet on that dongle for a year for rs6999. It was advanced rental scheme(I think kept advanced rental on purpose).They even claimed that once 3g starts you will be able to access internet at 3g speeds.But alas after launching 3g they never kept their word and transferred us to 2g plan.Now they say opt new plans for 3g and let your money go.That means they will keep our rs 6999 and want us to take new 3g plan. Just to confuse customer they say your stick supports 3g but you wont get 3g.Vodafone can change its plan for new customers but what about commitment made to old customers who put on faith in them and paid money in advance.Please look into this.The number of card in dongle is [protected].
Thank you

Sir, I have Lost my mobile, I want to get my duplicate Sim with same No. and same Tariff.

My Name is Shobha.

We shifted our postpaid vodafone no. to prepaid which were very old nos. since it was'nt to be used for the next 4-5 months. So just to preserve the number we converted it to prepaid thinking of saving something and as per the vodafone care people that we can again convert it to postpaid whenever required.

Now when we went to get it converted again to postpaid after 2 months as the number was supposed to get used regularly, to our astonishment the nos. were deactivated with the reason of not using it since last 2 months, and that too without any intimation.

Further, when approached the Shivranjani Store at Shivranajani, Satellite, Ahmedabad, we were asked to get the relevant documents for reactivation of the same numbers, if they are available. Since it was Saturday and the next day being Sunday, we went with the relevant documents on Monday morning and again to our astonishment out of our 3 numbers which were shown to be deactivated on Saturday, 1 number was still active. Beyond this the attending person again asked us to get a particular new application form to get it signed from the respective authority in whose name the connection has to be taken.

Now, is'nt this just to make the customers frustrated, who come there and wait in long que after which also there is no one shot redressal of their complaint. There are many questions now as follows
1) Why was the form to be signed not given on Saturday i.e. at the time of enquiry when the relevant documents which are to be submitted were told by the store person?
2) Why were 2 out of 3 numbers deactivated and 1 remained activated when all the 3 numbers were shifted to prepaid on the same day?
3) Why just to ask about certain procedure one has to take a token and wait for an hour, and why cannot they deploy a seperate person in that respect?
4) Why the timings of the store is kept from morning 9.00 am when there are only 2 person to attend in the morning shift? Is it just to say that we are open from morning 9.00 till evening 9.00?
5) How on Saturday i.e. the first day of the enquiry they checked the status that all the 3 numbers are deactivated?
6) If prepaid services are of such disadvantage why do run those services, is it just to bring a bad name to the company?

There are still more question. but even if we get the answers to the above questions it would be enough. We dont know whether writing such a long query would be heard to by any of the authorities, but still we need to give an effort. Infact we all need to wake up to such kind of discrepancies, as it is an age of awarness and there is an excellent current eg of Anna Hazare.

Thats it and waiting for a response.

Can be contacted on [protected] mail id : [protected]@yahoo.com

When I, have already intimated you to de-activate the number, by several means of communication (I have mailed you, I have called your call centre several times,I walked into your vodafone centre) inspite of that you haven't done it. Its a mistake from your end. And its high time for me that why should I pay when I haven't used your services. And if this continues I will not even respond your mails further.

How can you ask me to make the payment when I haven't used your services. This is what the torture you give to your customers,not service.

There is no second thought of changing the decision. And I am very sorry to say that I am really unhappy with your services. This would be my last mail.

I, Kavitha Sriram wanted to bring to your notice that when I, have already intimated you to deactivate my number([protected]) after clearing my total outstanding amount of Rs.1354/- by cheque dated 21/01/2011 but why the bill has been generated. To my emberassment when reached the vodafone centre at punjagutta, the customer care executive was insisting me to pay the bill when I, haven't used the phone. I am really unhappy with such kind of your service, and I was not given a proper explanation for which I was annoyed and asked him to collect the sim and told him very clearly that I am not going to pay any more bills. Inspite of that he was not ready to accept the sim card and out of frustration I, have threw the sim in your vodafone centre.

And now I have received one more bill for the period 17/2/2011 to 17/3/2011
I wanted this problem to be sorted out as eearlier as possible and see to it that I, am not going to receive the further bills.

Hi,
I want to disconnect my vodafone postpaid number [protected] which is NCR's number. I moved to different city. My Relationship number: is 1.25538580.

I have sent mail to vodafonecare.[protected]@vodafone.com, Sushma.[protected]@vodafone.com, vivekg.[protected]@vodafone.com, vodafonecare.[protected]@vodafone.com with the required details And also talked on [protected], 111 and 198.

But they only reply with automated mails and do not take any action. On phone they say you cannot disconnect you number unless you come to delhi vodafone outlet in person and give application along with address and id proof. They say if you are not in delhi then you cannot disconnect your number and your bills will be generated and they will file case.

Please suggest some way out of this?

Thanks,
