Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

I had taken a connection for Vodafone, Bangalore arount 2 yers back, and updted the number in DND. But daily I am getting a lot of advertisement messages and calls. major share of getting advertisement call from HDFC credit card. I had raised a complaint to vodafone customer care 4 times(vodafone Ref:[protected],[protected],[protected],[protected] but till now now I did not get any positive replay from the concerned department and every time the represantative replaying the same the calls are pertain to other service provider.But still I am getting calls daily minimum 3 calls.

I think this may be the problem of vodafone management. The lack of administration. I had an experience with different service providers. and this is one of the worst customer service I had used in this time.

Now I am getting calls and message from vodafone customer care stating that " Please submit your Photo and ID card to nearest vodafone store and enjoy uninterrupted service" am not able to understand after two years vodafone is asking the proof.Now I am thinking to take a new connection from a different service provider and throw this vodafone sim card

Dear Sir / Madam,

This is in regards to the network issue faced on my number [protected] for which I have been complaining since the past 1 year.
I have complained not only to the call center but also sent several emails and also visited the Vodafone shop (Santacruz), to which I have neither received any call / sms till date, nor is there any improvement in the network.
I get 0 network bar at my residence which is causing a lot of inconvenience to me. The address where I am facing network issue is as given below :

707, Bldg No 15,
New Mhada Colony,
Opp. Sunder Vihar Hotel,
Prateeksha Nagar,
Sion (East)
Mumbai - 400 022.
Alternate Number :

I have also requested for a address change to the above mentioned address, for which I was asked to visit the Vodafone shop and submit my residence proof.
What is the need for documents to be submitted again while I have been using this number for more than 2 years now.

Request your intervention to resolve my concern, as I have not been getting any response from Vodafone.

Looking forward to a positive response.

Thanks & Regards,
Kuldeep Kadam.

Dear Sir,

I am a Airtel User, Regularly I am getting call from [protected] who uses slangs and doest speak his identity. Also sends BAD SMSs. Many a times I have told him in a gentle way not to call but still he is calling.

Really disturbed . request for your kind action.

Regards,

I have a Vodafone connection and I keep getting unsolicited messages regarding tips, jokes etc. These are not messages but appear on my screen. It is taking up a lot of battery life and i am forced to continuously charge my phone. My fully charged battery because of the messages doe snot even last half a day. It is very annoying. Vodafone is a nuisance. Please tell me how i can stop this from happening!

Sir,
I myself Ananda Bijoy Dutta holder of Mob No:[protected] don't want to continue my post paid connection,i told this to vodafone customer care executives but they donn't take any steps rather they force me to continue my post paid connection,
But I do not want to continue this i want to change my connection from postpaid to prepaid but the number i used remains unchanged.

I therefore request you kindly to look into this matter as early as possible from next month onwards i want to continue my connection in prepaid mode not in post paid mode.I need your console regarding this matter.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully

I Anup Kumar Kirti had activated internet on my blackberry with a plan of Rs. 249 rental per month with 15kb per paisa as download charge 5 days before ( on 14th April 2010 ) & deactivated the same on 19th April 2010. The plan which I activated on my blackberry was suggested by Vodafone customer care & blackberry customer care but they did not intimated me that this plan is too expensive or the details about the plan sold to me. Yesterday on 19th April 2010 I received the message that my unbilled amount stands Rs. 23912/- which exceeds my credit limit of Rs. 15000/- & I have to pay the said amount immediately to get uninterrupted services.
As of now my outgoing has been deactivated.
I had used internet services hardly for 1:30 hrs then how come that Vodafone can charge such a huge amount from the customer. I am using the no. ( [protected] ) a postpaid connection which is a corporate connection issued to me by my company Johnson Controls India Pvt. Ltd.
My concern is that customer care should guide the consume properly with all the details of the plan so that the customer must be well aware about the plan which he is going to take. Why should a customer suffer due to the fault of customer care ?

Hence I request you to look into matter & resolve issue & activate my outgoing services.
I don't deny to pay the actual amount for using the internet for 1:30 hrs on my device.

Promptness in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Waiting for some positive response.

A representative Hemal Kotak visited us on 3rd April 2010 and offered us a very cheap plan for my existing family plan vodafone post-paid connections.

Once we agreed to change the plan he said to get this activated we need to buy 5 new post paid connections and took a cheque of 1750/- 350/- per card for activation.Also he said once we pay the first bill we can claim for the free gift and de-activate those cards.we have taken new sim cards , paid 1st bill , send courier for gifts but yet OUR PLAN IS NOT CHANGED.he had said tht new plan will be activated from the day itself.

Now the representative does not attend our calls and also handsover to some of his assistants. Also he just assures us that the new plan will be activated which is not yet activated even after 2 billing cycles.

kindly take this as a serious issue as this is a serious case of cheating.

The registration is on my husband's name 'Ravi Shah'

i did not make any ISD call from my no. and in my postpaid bill i have been charged Rs 10 in march and Rs 225 on 16th may.
i contacted at 198 and e-mailed them but no satisfactory answer is provided. if my no is hacked in this condition this is a security concern for me and country. n if it is not then they have charged me unnecessarily.

Its Deeply regretted that, despite having paid the activation charges for the Vodafone Prepaid Mobile connection no.[protected]. it has not been working & only the incoming SMSs are coming from the Vodafone services at India to my roaming at USA "your complaint has been received & it is being addressed" Unfortunately, despite a series of online complaints there is no addressal to the issue.
Pl. get it addressed at once & advise us the action taken on my following email ids: vibha.[protected]@gmail.com or vinod,[protected]@gmail.com & [protected]@bharatpetroleum.in
Thanx, VIBHA VINOD KALLEY CAMP AT LA, WEST COVINA, CA (USA)

I have a plan called VMC 899 activated on my Vodafone Postpaid number [protected]. When I got the plan activated, I was promised unlimited Internet browsing and downloading for a month. Within 10 days, the unbilled amount shot up above my credit limit and my outgoing calls were barred. I talked to the Customer Care Executives but in vain. Then I wrote to the nodal officer who assured me that this will not happen in the future. But after about 10 days, the same problem reappeared and again my outgoing calls were barred. This time, the nodal officer asked me to pay some amount in advance so that my credit limit is increased. I paid some amount through cheque. My services were again barred after 10 days of paying advance. The reason cited was that my usage exceeded the credit limit. When I received the bill I found out that Vodafone had charged me Rs.899 as per the VMC 899 plan for two months, i.e., April-May and May-June. When I talked to Customer Care Executives, they again asked me to make a payment and said that we charge 1 month advance rental for VMC plan 899. This was not told to me earlier, not by the Vodafone Mini Store, neither by the Customer Care Executives nor by the nodal officers when I initially inquired about the plan. I was further threatened that my services will again be barred if I did not pay the amount because my usage has exceeded the credit limit. Although the due date for payment of bill is 11th June and my billing date is 23rd of each month, I am forced to shell out money while Vodafone does not address my complaint. The only reason that usage is exceeding the credit limit is the extra Rs.899 that they have charged as advance, something I was never told about. Please HELP!!!

I and my partner are vodafone customers with a corporate plan(postpaid). We both have the same CUG plan provided to us by the company i.e Accenture and the plan is Accenture 150 plan with a monthly rental on Rs 150. Everything was fine till the last 2.5 years, but the last month i.e april 2010 we both were charged 99 extra for an additional package which is (STD for 50 paise).Now 1st of all we havent asked for this package to be added and also we dont make any STD calls.So why will I add a package which I dont use. Also I was not aware of the addition of this package till I got my bill (they say that send sms when they add something but we didnt get any SMS as well).Also the Vodafone representative in my office was not aware of this.
This was completely unacceptable and when I called them on 111 they were 1st of all not able to find who added the package and how come it got on my bill and second of all they themselves did not know what to do. Then these so called happy to help cheats did what they do best i.e release the call, and this happened the next time as well. I was then completely furious and directly spoke with disconnections to disconnect my services. I spoke to a guy called sujeet from disconnections who assured me that he will remove the extra service will refund the Rs 99 but that didnt happen.Also my partner went to a vodafone mini store in Bhandup named Shreeji plus and spoke with Mr Amrit and that cheat told her that he will disconnect the extra service and will refund Rs99, but when she recieved her next bill i.e May 2010. She neither recieved the credit nor was the extra package removed.
So she called so called Happy to help on 16th may (service registration no[protected], she was told that they will remove the package but they will not give the credit ( now it was for 2 months). She then requested to be transferred to disconnections but again they released the call. I then went the next day i.e 17th May 2010 to vodafone store in Bahayander and again had to explain the entire story to an executive named Disha and to be honest she had no clue what was going on the account and how the charged was added. As an agent who has no knowledge about the process she called the guy sitting next to her whose name is Vimal. and he was searching treasure in the system and took good 15 mins to tell me that they have no idea how this was added on our account, but as all executives are trained (to be polite), he told me that he will definitely remove the package but about the credit he will have to send a mail and will get back to me in 72 hrs, but as we all know these cheats, that never happened.
But i still waited patiently till 25th May 2010 as that was the replying time mentioned for the service registration number. And then I finaly gave them a call and spoke to a guy called swapnil on 198 and guess what, he released the call as well. I called again on 198 and spoke with a guy called mushtaq who told that the package will be changed but no credit will be applied for a fault from their end. Then I spoke with a guy from disconnections whose name is Samshuddin and was trying to retain me as he knew that I was going to disconnect two connections i.e my and my partner's. He then said that we cant do anything but cant give me a credit of Rs 50 instead of Rs 198 that I was charged. What does vodafone think that I am a beggar? Being a customer whose issue is not sorted from past 2 months, I had full legal right to speak to a manager but even for that he kept me on hold and then came and told me that his manager is busy and will cal me in 24 hrs, but guess what as usual that did not happen. Now its well above 24 hrs and still no call. If Vodafone cheats educated people this way then only god knows how much thay cheat people who dont know anything about the bill.They (So called Customer care executives) only know to release the calls when they come up with a complicated bill query.
I just hope that someone takes a look into the matter or I will be left with no choice but to disconnect 2 corporate connections and I strongly feel that other providers (other than vodafone) can provide me with better service.

My Vodaphone Cell No:[protected] (Prepaid Connection) ,I Rechage Lifetime last year,last 7 Month i am not using it, Now I Need this Number But the Vodaphone Customer Care Excecutive don't want to give me back..i request them about it, But They want to give me this number As a postpaid connection not prepaid connection ,,why are they not give me prepaid connection,i am ready to use regularly it as a prepaid.please give me back this Number as prepaid connection

I am a serving Junior Commissioned Officer in Indian Army working for 18 years. I have been purchased vodafone sim (Prepaid) from a retail shop in gorpadi village, Pune district, by the time i purchased the sim i had submitted my documents which includs serving certificate with photo id duly attested by an officer with round seal as well. According to retail shop (Mobile solution centre gorpadi) my documents were rejected since service no was not mentioned in the certificate, by the time i recharge my phone with an amount (300+) and was using it, very next day after its rejection i rectified the mistake and resubmitted the same to the retail shop further to mr Ashok by the retail shop owner for onward submission to concern. After waiting for 20 days i got fedup with all above i personally (third time as a whole) once again submitted my docu at Vodaphone office at camp, pune particularly Mr Sachin on 17th May 2010 and i was promised to get my problem solved with in two working days accepting my documents all correct. When i approached him even after four days i.e on 20 May 2010, he started searching for my documents and after some time said, there was some over writing on my PIN number. He once again asked for new application. Ok i again submitted (fourth time) my documents in return he promised me 100% it will activate on same night but till date 23 May 2010 my SIM is not activated. i am asking to the cocern is this the way to dealwith a consumer? Such irresponsible should be treated properly.

Sir
I have got a message that 30 rupees have been deducted from your balance for the activation of bhakti alerts on my number [protected].
This has happened for the fourth time and has been faced by lot of vodafone users.
Kindly look into the matter and help me getting my balance back this time and avoid such inconveniences to users cauased by these opearators.

i have been trying to log in to the vodafone page using the id and password they provided, but still its not accepted... this is one of the worst sites i have ever visited.. no synchronozation at all... 1 page aks you to start from the first page, while the other does not accept your id in that page and ask you to move to 2nd page... whereas it is not possible to move to 2nd page without filling up the 1st one... how can such a company create such a worthless site,... horrible... don't know how to serve the customers well...
