Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

i have a no [protected] its a postpaid connection when i purchased this number saleman ask u can change this plan so itake 0 rental internetconnection now vodafone office dont change this plan ,he say its 0 rentel data cable but same date when i purchased this connection also my freind take [protected] in same plan but vodaphone store how change his plan into125/but vodafone dontchange my plan

Vodafone is sending a lot of service message & once i accidently pressed the retreived button once, hereafter every month they are deducting monthly rental charge without asking a confirmation. I tried several times in customer care, but there is no option regarding such deactivation. They are purposely trapping the customers in such a way with their many such services. So we need an immediate action against such trap as i can't afford such charges. More over my mob is not supporting tha web services as i haven't took web service till this time.
They are purposefully trapping the customers in such a way & many people getting trapped by this type of numorous calls/mssgs with out asking any confirmation dialogue. Immediate action required as they can provide a confirmation dialogue box before finalising any service or appoint a customer care executive for attending such complaint calls. The system generated customer care are not supporting the deactivation of such problems.
Vodafone is simply trapping & exploiting the customers.

My no. is [protected],
I had registered my DND atleast 7 months back, still getting all unwanted sms and calls.
As soon i want to lodge complain on their toll free no. the executives doesn't listen properly, instead they reply that this problem will be sorted out within 21 days which never comes. I have received sms from,TD-SangamCh, twice on 13/08, [protected] regarding Tarot reading on13/08, LM-ROSHNI on 13/08,12/08,11/08, LM-GJTCI on 13/08, 12/08,11/08,09/08,05/08, Td-ICICI_L on 12/08,04/08,Vm chinese on 11/08, TM-SUNDARAM on10/08, and many more.....
Please instruct me the remedy against this nonsense market related calls and sms.

Dear sir,
can you give me detais o[censored]ser & mobile number of this number "[protected]" please send me the details my e-mail address [protected]@ymail.com . i am waiting for your reply
reply as early as possible......

On 13th April'10, I had given written application and photocopy of my driving license for surrender my vodafone number [protected] at Gurudwara road Gurgaon's office . That time executive accepted my request but not given any acknowledgment. Today (13th Aug'10), I got a call from [protected] and the guys was asking that my bill Rs. 300+ pending for [protected] number. When I surrendered number, I had already paid extra amount. Again, I made a call on 111 and mini store vodafone but they all are asking that my connection is still working.

Still, I'm very surprised that I have already surrendered number but number is still working and guys asking for bill amount.

Kindly solve this matter.

I am really annoyed and irritated by the way I am being harassed by Vodafone India by generating some "NON-EXISTENT" bill against my name.Unfortunately,this is causing severe mental agony for me.
The concerned post-paid number WHICH IS FREEZED since 09thMAY.,2010- is [protected].My vodafone essar mobile relationship no. used to be [protected].23007596.
I am a specialist Doctor by profession and I'm working abroad since last MAY,2010. I have come outside India for a contract job for appx. 1 year.THAT'S WHY,I HAVE FROZEN MY Vodafone India postpaid NUMBER -[protected] for one year period by paying the necessary amont 600 RS on 09.05.2010(9TH MAY,2010) IN south DELHI VODAFONE store..I just freezed the no.;because,I used the number for a long period of time and I thought to CONTINUE WITH THE NUMBER WHEN I COME BACK AGAIN IN INDIA AFTER 1 YEAR.
.Even after freezing my number they generated some bill against my name in June,2010 and my local representative in India even paid that amount-Apx .Rs. 2500.I also paid another Rs 3000 before coming from India on 2nd may,2010.
Now,I got another mail via SBI credit card, stating that Vodafone Essar mobile services Limited have generated a bill of Rs.2998.71 for month of August,2010 AND DUE DATE OF 21 AUGUST,2010 given to me.(My vodafone postpaid bill is connected with my SBI CARD-whenever there is bill generation they(SBI CARD inform me via email to pay via SBI card).(NOTE-SBI CARD is a very good ORGANIZATION;they have nothing to do with this complaint0
NOW,I have some serious query
1When I have frozen my account on 9th MAY,2010;and,my local representative cleared all my remaining dues inVODAFONE store in New Delhi in JUNE,2010 to their full satisfaction. Now,HOW CAN they GENERATE A BILL FOR ME ON AUGUST,2010?; I AM REALLY SURPRISED,SHOCKED AND as well asIRRITATED.
2.THIS SEEMS TO BE Nothing but Cheating and harassing innocent victims like us..My local representative already paid that huge bill in JUNE,2010-which also seems exaggerated to me.I need full explanation of all these suspicious irregularities in VODAFONE POST-PAID BILLS.NOW,THESE Vodafone India is trying to extract some more money from me by generating BILLS against my FREEZED NUMBER.
Kindly respond at the earliest.

I am using Vodafone mobile service no [protected]. For the past one weak, I am talking to my friend about many important business matters. When we are talking, we can hear a TIP, TIP sound once in minutes. Some times, our voice is also gets Echo and i have started getting blank call. I suspect that our cell phone is trapped.

Hi Whoever reads this and takes some action,

So here's the story. I bought this iPhone 3G almost 2 years agon from Vodafone India, Wheelers Road, Bangalore. I paid 30 grands for that upfront. Despite this, those buggers did not unlock the phone and provide me with a networked locked phone, locked to their network. It's been two years since then, and even my warranty has expired. Upon asking them to unlock the phone for me because I paid the cost upfront and that I am shifting to another country, these nincompoops reply with the most appalling message saying that they cannot unlock the phone because it is network locked. Now if some gentleman could explain it to them or me, if they are not the network then who the damn network is. And why in the world are they still running this crappiest piece of business of their. I am attaching few mail which I exchanged with them recently and also in the past. Having said that, now that I am not in India any more, I hope some one shoves up this mail up their arse and puts some senses in their nitwit brain. Especially this figure, Monica from the Corporate Care Karnataka.
There are more such mails as attached below.

Abhijeet

Subject: Re: iPhone Unlock Repeated Request (2 years old phone) [REF:[protected]]

Dear Ms. Monica,

That was precisely why I have been chasing you guys for the past one year,
to unlock it; to be more precise, network unlock it so that any other SIM
card can be used on it from any other network across the world. Let me give
you some real world scenarios/examples:
If you buy an iPhone here in Australia from any network carrier / vendor, it
is usually carrier locked (if and only if taken on a Contract and NOT by
paying the full cost of the phone upfront), or as you prefer to call it
'network locked'. The carrier/network/cellular operator, such as Vodafone,
Optus, Three, etc., then unlocks or carrier/network-unlocks the iPhone,
either for a fee i[censored]nlocked before the contract is over or free otherwise,
such that it can be used on any other network using other SIM cards. If you
purchase an iPhone by paying upfront, the way I purchased from Vodafone
India (probably one of my biggest mistakes), the phone is already unlocked.
Having said that, its the network operator, which is you, has the unlock
codes / necessary technology to unlock the phone and NOT Apple or any other
operator.

Now, if you're saying that you cannot carry out a job which is precisely
yours, my honest suggestion would be to kindly pass on this message to your
superiors that they better shutdown their friggin' worthless company which
cannot provide services to their customers and be honest. Furthermore, in
your future responses, kindly do not beat around the bush, as is quite
apparent in your last mail.


Regards,
Abhijeet

dm-month
Hello,

I received a message on the mobile from DM-month that I have won 2500$ and i have to contact the number +[protected] to redeem. I called that number and was kept on the IVR for several minutes and they didn't connect me to the representative.
In the end when I checked my balance I realized that my 100 rs. balance has become zero.
These are the gimmicks that these service providers are using.
There should be a check on these activities.

Thanks,

Dear Sir
It is very strange that VODA PHONE has stopped the out going calls and further
going to stop the incoming facility saying that there is mismatch of signatures of the
client, Polu Medha cell no [protected] - student of B Tech I Comp Science, NMIMS MUMBAI]. I have talked to the officials at Kota Rajasthan { Anish and Priyanshu } and at Mumbai Lalit Nayak. They suggested that
furnish the documents at Kota Centre and show the original. I did as they advised.
The signatures of my daughter could not be done at the documents because she [Polu Medha cell no [protected]] is at bombay and the documents are at Kota with the father. I wasted the whole working day at Kota to explain that there is no adress mismatch which they agreed and assured that services will be restored with in 4 hours.
But after that they said you have to submit the docs with signature at Mumbai.
It would mean 7 days without any service. The no worked well for 4 days from 1 Aug to 4 Aug.
What is the use of showing dogs and puppies to help out the kids in ads when your paid employees don't help. Voda Phone is a thorough cheater !


yours sincerely

this is the letter i have forwarded to them through mail

R/Sir,

I had purchased a Vodafone postpaid SIM during APril-09. I opted for a postpaid plan with security amount Rs-250/--. At that time I was told that if I would discontinue this no any time in future whole security amount will be refunded to me with a payee check to my name on my billing address. Now I discontinued this no in the starting of April this year and also paid the total outstanding due against the no. But yet now I have not received my security amount. I sent several emails to the Vodafone customer care but every time they end up giving me new docket no and the fake surety to refund the security within 10 working days. I also visited Vodafone store 4-5 times at sec-11, Panchkula, but every time they say there system is not working so they can’t see the status of my docket. I also visited them yesterday and they gave the same excuse with the hospitality that if I am so eager for the refund then go to consumer court, they can’t do anything good for me. Now sir please tells me what I should do in this case. These private companies are making merry on there huge profits and we common man are bearing the brunt of there bad and malign practices. I am also attaching the mails that they have sent me.
