Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

i have recharge my vodafone prepaid connection by 27 Rs. night plan. but they dont give me the facility of night hours plan as they declare in their advertisement. so plz take necessarily action against them .
thank u sir

I have purchased new vodafone prepaid sim just 8-10 months ago when I shifted from Mumbai to Bangalore.
I gave my passport photocopy for ID and Address proof.
Last week I got call from vodafone customer care about address verification.
They verified and just one week later my outgoing call blocked and getting message that submit address proof again.

my concern is that after verifying address details over phone they are asking it again and blocked my out going.
Why Vodafone is hiring such idots who can't do it their jobs in correct way and troubling customers?

I went to vodafone outlet in whitefield and they said that resubmit the proof and it will take another 48 hours for unblocking outgoing calls.

But what is my fault, the address is same? They can atleast inform before blocking outgoing...
I am not a terrorist just unfortunate indian. hate to be indian.

Bloody vodafone and it's idots' employees....

Dear Sir

Subject: Incorrect information regarding international roaming tariff Mobile No.[protected]


This is to inform you that I am a vodafone user since the last 7yrs.I have been a completely satisfied customer until my last experience.

I was travelling to Dubai from 3rd to 9th Dec 2010.I called up your customer service on the 3rd morning to checkout the tariff plans for international roaming. I was informed that it was Rs.40 per minute & Rs.15 per SMS & a monthly roaming activation charge of Rs.149 by your executive. Since I was okay with the tariff communicated to me I informed your executive to go ahead an activate the same.

However when I returned back on 9th my outgoing was bared & I was informed that I have crossed my credit limit & that my unbilled amount is around is Rs.13900.I again called your customer care & they informed me that they will reactivate outgoing & I should visit a Vodafone store for reversal of my billed amount. I immediately made a payment of rs.5000 on 10th dec.I visited the Vodafone Store in bandra West the very next day & was informed by your Executive Mr.Nevil tht I have been charged Rs.185 per minute & Rs.15 per SMS & a monthly roaming activation charge of Rs.149 which is the international tariff & cannot be reversed at any cost.Mr.Nevil was extremely rude & not customer friendly & also bluntly told me to do what I like.

This is ridiculous customer service & miscommunication from your customer care end.
I would request you to kindly look into this matter & have the necessary reversals done. Since most of your calls are on recorded lines you can re-verify the information passed on to me the first time I called up on 3rd dec.

Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

I am using Blackberry Storm and have Blackberry 299 plan from Vodafone. On this plan I was not able to browse internet, therefore I requested vodafone to activate unlimited 599 plan. But after one month, I got a bill with usage charges of Rs. 5000. I called up cusomer care and explained that i am using unlimited 599 internet plan and then promised by Customer care that O shoud only pay my monthly average charges and this extra charges will be deducted in the next bill. It's been more than 1 and half months that my outgoing has been blocked due to the non-payment of Vodafone internet charges which is unnecessarily added to my bill. I have talked to more than 10 customer care people, some say no need to pay. some say i have to pay. But I have not used vodafone live and I am not going to pay anything for that. Now I really don't know what to do. I am very happy with Vodafone services and don't want to switch to wny other servoce provider, but I have to as my outgoing is barred.

Please suggest a solution.

sir
with due respect i want to submit my complaint against area disributor and an employee named Neeraj in vodafone service centre at Dullahapur dist. Ghazipur in (up) who are irresponsible in dealing with customers and don't provide the satisfoctory service to the customer.as i run my shop named jai mata di mobile world and i am a good seller of vodafone products but i don,t get proper information of current schemes from the vodafone service centre.As there a internal relationship between area distributor and service centre, so they don't get activate the SIM sold from my shop.so my customers are going unsatisfied.And sir i also give the money to the vodafone service centre.my condition is just like fish out of water..so sir i hope the immediate resolution from your part so that i could run my shop well..
thanking you

Hi,

As per the Government of India, Department of Telecommunications Notification No.1-34/2006-VI (Pt I) dated[protected], all mobile operators are required to re-verify their subscribers for correct and complete information. (During this process the service providers can correct their subscriber’s record wherever they find that the documents collected from the customers earlier are inappropriate or missing.) that the documents have to be checked on the existing documents which were submitted.
Now, WHY VODAFONE IS EXPECTING A RESUBMISSION OF DOCUMENTS,MY QUESTION IS
1. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE EARLIER DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED?
2. WHY VODAFONE IS COLLECTING NEW DOCUMENTS?
3. IF THE EARLIER DOCUMENTS ARE MISSING, WHAT IS THE GUARANTEE FOR THE NEWLY SUBMITTED DOCUMENTS?
4. IN THE NAME OF SECURITY MY EARLIER DOCUMENTS CAN BE MISUSED, WHO WILL GIVE THE SECURITY FOR THOSE INFORMATION.

VODAFONE IS MAKING ME UNDERGO HARRASMENT BY DISCONNECTING THE SERVICES, WHEN CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER CARE, IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOUR BY THE STAFF.THIS IS
THE FATE OF AN INDIAN MOBILE SUBSCRIBER.

WHERE IS THE SECURITY, PLEASE JUSTIFY, I AM FED UP WITH VODAFONE.

I HAVE SUBMITTED THE DOCUMENTS, UNDERSTANDING THE ABOVE, STILL THE SERVICES ARE BARRED, WHAT IS VODAFONE DOING , THEY ARE UNHAPPY TO HELP CUSTOMERS,

FED UP, FED UP......
REGARDS,

The customer care department MUMBAI is either picked from slums or they have been trained to deliberately keep on wasting the time of the consumer by transferring the call to other executives instead of the one who will address the solution, then putting in a long hold, asking for various details for even small queries (as if we have done a crime) , using cliche dialogues "Sorry for the inconvenience will definitely help you" and they don't help us but complicate the matters ,consume our time and money as well.. the most pathetic service and their nodal officer too seems to be sleeping.
Once a multi caller tune was automatically enabled on my cellphone and 99/- were deducted and when I objected to the charges deducted I was told that I had enabled it and which is why my balance ran to -99 rupees, they told me to send a message to cancel the service if I didn't want it and since it was a catch22 situation and a helpless state I tried sms'ing "CAN CT" but the sms didn't go through ( I was having a 350 free sms pack and there was a good deal of balance in it) when I told the customer care dept that I was unable to send the sms, they told me that I need to have a minimm 1/- Rupee balance to use the free SMS pack (strange), my question is when I had a free SMS pack I still had to have a 1/- Rs in my account to send a message but when my balance was already low why did they deduct and got the balance to the negative side of 99/- Rs for a caller tune service (which I never applied for) couldn't they have stopped that deduction as well?? When I asked this question to them they disconnected the call.

sir,when i chage my sim or put my sim to another mobile they deduct 60 paisa balance everytime i do this......
when i call to cust care they says that i have sent mesage but i did not......................
sir plz help me.......... how to stop this plz send me details on this at [protected]@yahoo.com
my no. is [protected]

Respected Sir,

I have activated BONUS 5card service in my prepaid Vodafone Sim number [protected] on 09/12/2010 at 12.05 am. The so called service is for 500 messages free for 2 days of
time.But for the very next day that is on 10/12/2010 the company took charges for sending messages from my account,though there was 263 messages are remaining for free in my account.when I called & informed this matter in customer care on 10/12/2010 at 8.20 am they also agreed with this matter and I was told that my account will be refunded within 48 hours and my request has been registered.Unfortunately even now my account has not been refunded and also I lost one day service of free messaging among the so called provided two days.This is not the first time happening to me,so please consider this mail as a complaint and hope you will take proper actions against this severe fault. According to me losing of 1 rupees from my account is so painful for I value money and know the difficulties of earning.I hope my mail will not be underestimated and will be given proper concern.

yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,
I am Vijayakumar. I wanted to change the ownership of my post paid vodafone number ([protected]) to my friend. We went to Bannerghatta vodafone store on 1/12/2010 and submitted all documents. They informed us, it will take 10 working days. My friend had called vodafone customer care on 8/12/2010 and they informed us that it willbe done by today(10/12/2010). This is not done upto now and they informed us that there is no requeust such tha and again wanted to go to the store again.

I am not sure what the servcie they are doing. Please do the needful

I am a customer of Vodafone Mobile Service Provider since long back. I have been enjoying their service for last 5 to 6 years. As per the recent circular of DOT ( Department of Telecom ), I got a message from Vodafone that I have to submit all the relavent documents ( e.g. CAP, Voter ID card, PAN card and address proof ) to nearest Vodafone store to continue my connection otherwise the service provide will stop my connection. As per their instruction, I have submitted all the required docs. to them ( Vodafone Mini Store - Dalhousi Area at Kolkata ). After submission all the required documents them ( without failing), I got that my connection started within 24 hours which was stopped after I got the first message from Vodafone. After a month, I got the same message that if I do not submit the required ( mentioned above ) then they would stop my connection, that time they had stopped my connection. I spoke to the concern authority that I had submitted all the document to them but they show me their system that DOT has rejected my document, where they have no clue why DoT had rejected my documents. Later on I have submitted the same documents once again and I got the connection back again. Today ( 09.12.2010 ), I once again got the same message from their end, to submit the required documents to continue my mobile service. But, they have not stopped my connection yet. Now, my question is what kind service we are getting from Vodafone, this is a very hectic serive I am enjoying from a reputed mobile service provider in India. If I call their customer care, then nobody is able to answer my query, if I visit to Vodafone store then they are not answering my question except asking for the same document. Now, I have to think to give up the Vodafone connection and have to think for a new one. As, I have provided this number to all of my friends, colleagues and relatives. If I discontinues this number then I will loose many contacts this is big deal for me. I would request you to take the necessary action on my complain thus I can enjoy the Vodafone connenction forever. Otherwise, I have to swith to any other Mobile Service Provider. I would like to stop this kind of harrassment from a reputed Mobile Service Provider.

Hi,

We were using Vodafone Service provider(Earlier Hutch) from past 6 years.
But waht happened this time , make us feel so bad about it.

My mother is using vodafone postpaid number , which she wanted to convert to prepaid.Beacuse of daily promitional calls from Vodafone were making her life miserable. ANd seriously those calls are so irritating. Even tellibg after those stupid callers that we are busy, sometimes they won't stop!

They raised a request from Post-Pre at vodafone store near Phagwara chowk , Hoshiarpur. But nothing happened.

Finally she stopped using number and told Customer care taht if they won't convert she wont pay. Even without making single call, she had to pay those stupid bills.

My father who is senior citizen(but vodafone customer desk girls really don't care) visited store 10 times along with my mother. If required , can provide satff names also.

There behaiour was so rude. Once she shouted at my father and said why coming daily hewe and disturbing us. Send you son with all documents , then we will do. Then my mom said - if we are not having any son, so you won't convert our no.

I can't under policy - Vodafone customer satff (girls) not treating old aged customers and asking to send their son!!

My mom is working lady and every alternate day she has to visit store and nothing hapened. Finally she also lost her tamper and was lil rude to staf. But it worked as per my parent's understanding.

BUT HERE CUMS FRAUD.

she convinced them to pay all pending bills and said within 24 hours your number will be prepaid. Poor guys TRUSTED vodafone. And girl gave strict instruction- Do not recharege your fone for few days. Being over clever she palyed a game. After waiting fr 5 days , I along with my father visted Store.

Girl's first words to me-- You came with this GUY? what does it maen?? Insated of greeting anyone. They are talking like this! Then i said we need to check sattus of number and response made us shoched. She told num is PERMANENTLY DISCONNECTED. Customer wanted post to pre and they disconnected. Rich Vodafone!!

After discussing , she told it may take 1 month from post to pre. Thank God , we are educated and awrae of process. I told it takes mak 48-72 hours post to pre. Then she said it's vodafone and we aork in this way only!

I just made a comment thaen how you guys gonna implement MNP - in a year. Then some head satff( again a rude female ) was about to eat me. What you know about MNP. We are not going to launch and all. I told Maa'm it has already started and will be cuming soon to Punajb. But if we could have stayed in store for more 5 mnts , she might have started abusing.

We left with Thanks a lot mam! Atleast we are educated!

After thatt i called Vodafone cutomer care from BSNL mobile (As we had only one vodafone num in Punjab). I asked them to tell me procedure for raising Vodafone store staff compalint. But poor guy said - NOT POSSIBLE MADAM> PLS VISIT OTHER VODAFONE STORE IN NEAR BY CITY LIKE AMRITSAR<LUDHIANA ETC.

Aha agin hats of to such intelligent staff. To set a complaint i should travel to other city.

So Now i want:

We want our Security Refund.
Educate your staff. How to talk. Atleast basic manners.
Process should be ther.
Let customer know if you wanht Post-Pre, Vodafone will make you fool for 2 months and then finally will Disconnect Number.

I had written a mail to Vodafone for wrongly charging for Vodafone Live.
Their executive Mr Kavin Disuza called at (2.17pm on 08 Dec 2010 ) had only one thing to say that I have used this service and vodafone can not reverse this charges. On asking for clarification for what and which sites are opened that I am charged Rs 2446, Mr Kavin had only one thing to say that they have got no clarification for what have I used in this service.
I told them I am sure that I have not used this service but he repeatedly kept saying that they can not reverse this charges and from next time Vodafone live would not be charged as now it has been de-activated.

On the first place I had never activated for this service and every time I was charged Rs 15 to Rs 50 for Vodafone Live which I was not bothered. But in the last bill they charged Rs 2446.


On asking to speak to the higher executive or manager he again repeated saying "Charges wont be reverted".




The letter written to Vodafone care mumbai is as below.

Reg : Did not activate Vodafone Live and Wrongly Charged for the same


Hi

I have a Blackberry handset and I had opted for Blackberry Prosumer Lite scheme of Rs 299. Where in the executive had told me that I can only check my e-mails and
use Blackberry Messenger chat and this is the maximum amount I would be charged.

Suddenly, in my last bill dated[protected] I noticed charges for Vodafone Live amounting for Rs 2446. This service has not been activated by me and nor used.

Post my telecon (reference no:[protected] with Mr Santosh on 5th Dec 2010, i was asked to put the above in the mail and that the matter would be looked into by the billing department.


I would request you to look into the matter and wave off the charges which are wrongly debited in my bill. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,
