Dear Sir,
SUB:GPRS 11 PACK on Mob. [protected]
With due respect I would like to bring into your kind notice that on my request GPRS 11 PACK was activated on[protected] for 4 days and thereafter Rs 11 is being charged regularly after each 4 days.
To deactivate/ cancel this pack I tried to contact Vodafone through-
messages to 111 on[protected],[protected],[protected] and also to 144 on[protected].
Phone calls at 111 on[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected]
Phone calls at [protected]/53333/[protected] on[protected]
Phone calls at 198 on[protected] and[protected].
I regret to inform that despite my best efforts I failed to get GPRS 11 PACK deactivated as I could not get proper Menu and/or customer associate.However Rs 11 is being charged regularly on[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected] and[protected] from my account which is un-authorised hence illegal and against the codes,conducts and ethics of a big service provider like you.
In this connection I request you to-
-cancel GPRS 11 PACK immediately
-credit my account with Rs 55 which is charged illegaly on different dates
-provide specific menu for activation/deactivation through messages and/or phone calls
-provide customer complaint number to redress grievances.
I hope you will cancel GPRS 11 PACK and reverse the unauthorised charges at your earliest.
Thanking you,

Bharat Singh

- I had enrolled for number portability (PORT-IN in Vodafone) on the 20th Jan, 2011. But even after providing the PORTING CODE thrice they were unable to port-in my numbers. Repeated complaints were not listened to.!
- Now after all this wait and failure, they refuse to refund my security deposit Rs500 (Rs250 x 2 for both my numbers). What the hell is this?
- The Vodafone personnel I have interacted with are: Himanshu[protected], Sangeeta (sangeeta.[protected]@vodafone) and Nisha at the Sec-18 Vodafone Store, Noida.
- Earlier Vodafone Requests#:[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected]
- My Mobile Numbers: [protected] (I have now shifted to Idea)


The view that I have formed for Vodafone is:
• Vodafone is just about Zoo-Zoos. They don’t have systems in place. No one has information on whats the status on the application.
• The customer care is just phony – they want to give an impression that they are helping but really don’t try to help you out.
• If you write to customer care – every different person would keep asking the same question again & again every 3rd day. Just !
• With this experience - I would never ever recommend Vodafone to anyone.

Hi,

I face very poor network coverage at my house in andheri.
My room is located at groud floor and hardly see any network antenna. Vodafone being the largest service provider in mumbai, it is very painful to see this. I have to go out of my room to make a call.

Hello,

I am complaining in regards to the mobile number [protected]. A sports pack was activated by Vodafone on this mobile number without my knowledge and consent. I am being charged Rs. 3per day for it. When I realised that on the first day, I called vodafone and they told me that they were sorry about it and would deactivate the service within 24 hours, would refund the 3rs and I would not be charged again. The next day I again got charged. I called them again (spending money because customer service is no longer tollfree). And they told me that they would strictly look into the matter, register a complaint and the service would be deactiavted within 24 hours and I would be refunded the money (Rs 3). The next day someone from Vodafone called up and confirmed that the service has been deactivated and the amount has been cancelled. I did not bother about that and after 2 weeks I see that I am still charged Rs. 3per day everyday the whole of 2 weeks and the service was never deactivated. I called customer service and they hung up on me. I again called. They said they would deactivate the service within 24 hours but they cannot refund the amount. I requested for a supervisor and I was kept on hold for 20 minutes. I called again. This time I got through a supervisor. The supervisor told me that the service was not deactivated so they would deactivate it but he could not refund the amount. Which in other words mean "we are sorry, we cheated you, but cannot do anything about it". I asked him why he could not refund when I called them 3 times and asked them to deactivate. To my shock, they said because I activated it. (which I have not done). If I ask for records, they have none. They do not have call records or documentation of anything. Then to my surprise the So called Supervisor says that it was my mistake because I had to deactivate it from my end (never before I was told this, not even by the same supervisor when I asked him to deactivate the service.) I asked for a Manager, He refused. So I would like to get some kind of compensation regarding this.

Hi,

I have been a Vodafone subscriber in Mumbai for over 4 years, and have never delayed or defaulted on paying my dues. However, when I recently applied to another operator for MNP from Vodafone to XYZ operator, I was shocked to get an SMS from Vodafone that the request to port-out has been rejected due to “contractual obligations”. On checking with their Customer Care (who had a different tone for subscribers wanting to Port-out) was told that the “Contractual Obligations” in my case referred to some free minutes included in my Tariff Plan. I found it very strange, as the Tariff Plan I have opted for is a standard one, listed on their website and available to any other Vodafone subscriber. Hence, I really didn’t see any reason for Vodafone to stall my Port-out request on such frivolous grounds. Despite taking it up with their Customer Care several times, each time I only get a new Request No. with an assurance that the issue will be resolved within 48 hours. I am yet to have this issue resolved, before I approach the XYZ operator once again to migrate my Vodafone number to their network. Have spoken with the Vodafone Nodal Officer’s office, but am yet to get their response to this issue.

I would like to know from experienced & knowledgeable persons what recourse do subscribers like myself have, if existing operator doesn’t allow Port-out on frivolous grounds. Does TRAI offer any solution to this issue, which it would have ideally expected from big players (who would have expected many of their subscribers to Port-out, while welcoming Port-ins with open arms !!) ? I would appreciate responses to my complaint which are actionable. Thanks.

Regards,
Ramesh

Hiii

Last month am changed to my reliance CDMA number (Mob no:[protected]) portable to new network(VODAFONE).But now one problem happen to phone.The problem is CONNECTION Error....So kindly solve the issue.


Regards
Alex.

I have purchased the mobile in which 2GB data downloading is free for 3 months. Despite of recurrent communications vodafone had not activated the services and my balance got deducted every time I am using the net.
I have asked the customer care executives about 4 times regarding the same issue but there line is always not working and there is hardly any assistance from there side. So Please help me that they can refund back the amount which is inappropriately deducted from my account.

hi,
On saterday i took one vodafone post paid number?([protected])and paid Rs 500 (250 for activation and 250 deposit).
i have been told that on next day sunday my verification will take place and by monday connection will be active,but my verfication took place on wednesday morning 8.30 am, and then i come to know that simcard which was issue to me was dummy , just for sales and i will get a new simcard, so that vodafone center hold me as a client for few day till they get the new card for me, its being 4 days till now they dont active my number and when i call to Customer care , they say will check and get back in on working day.
I need to understand that after paying money and verification check positive also, why my number is not active.
Why i have been given a dummy sim card,
Why i should wait for 5 day when it can be done in 2 working, and why i pay for all vodafone mistake in terms of time.

I think the TARI will also not be effective in same course of action, but for try basis am writing to tari , els will look the same to ministry of telecom ,delhi,
for any feed back one can get back to me on , i dont know , if i should trust on this tari people.

Vodafone is advertising FREE 3G. In their adds they have not specified that the service is available in only some cities or areas. The only thing they write is "SMS 3G" to 111 to try free 3G.

Millions of people send the SMS. Which is NOT Toll Free! Money is deducted from account and the reply received is

"Vodafone 3G Service is not available in your town"

Imagine the amount to money the company is making by getting people to send text messages every now and then just to see if 3G arrived in their town!

Vodafone is cheating people and making money! Arrest them or something!!

Vodafone is deductiong balance from my number withour any reason and when i am asking them that what is the problem they are not even telling me that why is balance been reduced from my number

hi,

i Yogini Yamini Rani an yoga teacher and an user of vodafone postpaid in hyderabad, AP, i lost my sim and went to vodafone office at mehdiptnam and was directed to nagrjuna circle office and their the execuitve ms chamunda isbehaved with me and told that she cannot take my request for disconnecting the phone then i requested her that i will settle the bill completely and want to cancel the service on that request she shouted on me and told me to email the customer care of vodafone if i want to get it discoonceted or to be cancelled. this all happened on 28th march 2011 around 11.30 am... my number is [protected] and my email id is [protected]@gmail.com

I have registered for data plans and 3G service. I just checked my unbilled amount and it showed a lot. I called up vodafone customer care and they had no idea about the amount. If the vodafone staff cannot guide the customers about the unbilled amount then should not mention the unbilled amount as it keeps the customer guessing what the actual bill amount will come like.

After being harassed by service provider I am lodging a complaint for resolving the same.

My grievance is notified in appointed mail.

I have sent for clarification on 25th but till now no action taken by you also my both no has been deactivated from 26th March,2011.

Please resolve the issue and activate my both no immediately.

With regards,

Dear Sir,

I need call details (incoming & outgoing) for my vodafone prepaid mobile number [protected] for the month of Feb & March 2011. I have already sent a mail to vodafone customer care repeatedly two times requesting for the same with no reply.

Please help me in getting the call details as I am receiving unwanted calls from unknown numbers which somehow got deleted from my mobile.

Thanks

i have shared the below conversation with vodafone nodal officer with mail.but no support response given me through mail.everytime they contacted me through phone conversation
one day finally he denied me support and get myself migrated to another service provider.

I had called the customer care on date 13/12/2010 for migrating to postpaid from prepaid…
After dealing with the executive he gave me a secret code. He said you will be receiving SIM card on your address and you can pay him the money when he shares the common secret code with you. Next day the person came and gave me new SIM and the same secret code and took 350rs from me later when I contacted the Vodafone store I was being told that I am cheated so it’s my request to take action against him and get me my reversal. He gave me a new card also SIM card no is[protected]H5)
I had been told that it’s bogus by Mr. Shankar Gajre Mr. Siddhesh veknande. Mr. Abdul Razzak Lodhia. At Vodafone store Jogeshwari (west) Aisha tower.

I have confirmed from MR.SHRAVAN TIVARI that the gift voucher of RS350 is not any more in the scheme from Vodafone but I have confirmed on from 9 to 12 of December from the Vodafone care executive that scheme is available m getting confused that how this could happen in such a vast corporation. But now also MR.SHRAVAN TIVARI is confirming that he will send me a gift personally if I want, I don’t want any gift but just wanna clear my doubt about the misconversation.i m trusting Vodafone but m not satisfy with this .the main aim of any corporation is to satisfy the customer n if they fail to satisfy then how could the corporation run smoothly just wannna say that how this could happen.

I am Kumar Neeraj and I stay in #138, FF, 13th A Cross, 6th Main, BTM Layout 2nd Stage, Bangalore-76. My Vodafone pre-paid cell num: [protected] which I am using since six years.

In six years I have not got any promotional free offers on sms or calls from vodafone seeing my good call & recharge records.

But now from Sun 27th March, 2010 morning, they have blocked my outgoing calls stating some special subsciption is required. Even there toll free 111 I cannot dial and ask When by my freind's number I called customer care and ask, they told you need to transfer from 2G to 3G mode4 compulsorily. I told I am outstation and cannot submit any document regarding it now and to give me temporary permission of two days, he told okay but not given. I was not even given any prior call or sms on this regard and suddenly they closed my outgoing. I had even Rs 175 bal left. I have only one phone and sim to access, Its a great difficulty. I want them to pay for the pain and suffering I bear because of no fault of mine.
