Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

Sir, I have bought a new prepaid sim ([protected]) from vodafone. After week of service, the sim was blocked. When I called the customer care they told to resubmit the ID and Address Proof documents. I have resubmitted the documents on dtd 28.03.2010. I have submitted following documents (which are listed as acceptable documents on vodafone website) at vodafone ministore at Kankroli distt Rajsamand Rajasthan.
1. PAN Card
2. ID card issued by central PSU.
3. Address proof certificate issued by central PSU.
4. RC copy of vehicle.
But still the sim is out of service. The retailer at Vodafone Ministore is not forwarding the documents. When asked he cites different reasons- sometimes he say he has forwarded the documents, other times he say ID card issued by central PSU and address proof certificate issued by central PSU is not a valid proof and sometimes RC copy of vehicle is not clear and many others. However all these excuses are blatant and fallacious.
Now, sir I have following questions:
1. What can I do to restore the services of sim. Customer care has said they can't do anything in this.
or
2. I have balance amount of Rs 700 in that sim. How can I recover that if I reject the sim due to their apathetic attitude.
3. What can I do against the Vodafone ministore retailer.
4. If I can file the case against them in consumer court.
Thanks in advance and waiting for your valuable reply.

Helloe Sir, I a have a vodafone mobile no [protected]. from few days m the updates are not coming regarding my available balance. I have recharged with Rs.222/- and Rs.49/- again in past few days but my SMS are not going. when dialing *145#, it is showing no balance. When checking the SMS details, it is showing "No network details for message, Contact your service provider."

Hi,

This is with regards to the harassment I have been facing at Vodafone Customer Care Center Faridabad. Following are my issues with Vodafone Customer Care representatives at NIT (near Municipal Corporation of Faridabad), Faridabad.

• I visited the Vodafone center for getting billing address and ownership changed and I was NOT given the complete information in my first visit;
• There were different versions given to me by different representatives at the same center. It seems Vodafone does not follow the standard process;
• Some representative is accepting household cooking gas connection book as address proof; some other denies it;
• I was not told in the beginning about the value of stamp paper should be used to get the rent agreement that was acceptable by Vodafone. Surprisingly, Government Bank accepts the rent agreement to change my house address but not Vodafone.
• The representatives possess the attitude of harassing the customer. They lack empathy;
• Who will pay up the cost of this 23 months long harassment and the time and efforts I have invested to get this simple task done???
• On this Vodafone center, there are seven (7) customer service counters and hardly, I saw more than 3 or 4 representatives serving the customers whenever I visited there. This results in huge waiting time for the customers.

Background of this complaint:
• I am using [protected] since Jan 2004 and this no. is under Company owned-individually paid status. I have got this no. from my previous company (Rapidigm India Ltd.) in Nov 2006. Since then I am using this no. and paying for it on regular basis.

• Since my Voter ID and Passport both bear address of my permanent house which is out of Faridabad, so I was told that I can produce a copy of ‘house hold cooking gas connection’ or ‘rent agreement’ will serve as address proof. I got arranged the rent agreement on stamp-paper of Rs.10/- and got it notarized by the notary in Faridabad court. I also got the NOC from my previous employer. At last, the Vodafone Customer Care representatives

• Important to note that my previous employer Rapidigm India Ltd. was taken over by Fujitsu Consulting India Ltd. and hence the name was change from Rapidigm India Ltd. to Fujitsu Consulting India Ltd. I was issued the NOC on Fujitsu’s letter head and it clearly states that Fujitsu consulting (formerly known as Rapidigm India ïƒ please refer the attached scanned copy of NOC).

• Neeraj and Deepak also refused to accept the copy of rent agreement and mentioned on Rs.10/- stamp paper is not acceptable and it should be of the denomination of Rs.50/- or above. And NOC was rejected by them as it was not stamped by my previous employer. They reviewed other documents and suggested that I should give them a copy of my passbook of any government bank.

• I got the NOC stamped again and carried the passbook with me to the same Vodafone Care Center on 3rd Apr 2010 and then I was told the NOC should be issued on the letter head of Rapidigm not that of Fujitsu by Neeraj. I tried to convince him that in case of companies’ mergers, all the contractual obligations are transferred to the new entity and moreover the NOC is mentioning the old name of the company also. But I was told that nothing can be done. Important to note that all the original documents including the PAN card was checked one representative namely Swati.


For the entire issue I have registered my complaints on 111 and the complaints nos. are:
• On 24th Mar 2010 ïƒ Complaint nos. [protected] and [protected]
• On 2nd April 2010 ïƒ Spoke to Ms. Deepa on corporate helpdesk phone no., since my no. is owned by Corporate; as advised by Vodafone care (111) on phone.

Now, I feel harassed by Vodafone representatives namely Neeraj, Deepak Swati and Jatinder at NIT, Faridabad Center. It seems they work on their whims and fancies rather than trying to help the customers by following policies.

There should be written policy available on Vodafone or TRAI website on process of changing the ownership and billing address.

Attachments: Copy of NOC; Copy of PAN Card and govt bank passbook; Copy of first page of rent agreement.

With regards

I am Devendra Sharma. I m a Vodafone Prepaid Customer in indirapuram. I have a problem that whenever i recharge my number with a topup, the messege is displayed that Recharging is not allowed. I talked to customer care they told me your sim is damaged and you have to convert it on post paid or change the number because it is recharged 20 times a day with a wrong code. Regarding this i am complaining about Vodafone Customer that on same day there server was down and nobody in indirapuram was able to recharge there Vodafone pre-paid. So obviously i tried it more than 20 times. Now they are not realising there mistake and they are not taking any action regarding this issue. I don't want to change my number because it is official and very important for me. I am using there service from last years. Is this the way to help customer by using the advertisment of a Pug. I am very frustated with there behaviour and do they have any rights to terminate this number without any reason. I have two Refrence Number [protected].

I purchased mobile# [protected] from Vodafone company date.10/11/2009.

Then I requested her for cancellation of my mobile# [protected]. She told me that you have to pay only your out standing amount Rs1000/- and then discontinue your mobile# [protected], after that your mobile# [protected] will automatically get cancelled. But now, in March'2010 Vodafone customer care representative called me on my alternate# [protected] and told me that your due amount Rs795/- is pending regarding your Mobile# [protected], I told them that i already cancelled this mobile# so, why should i pay for it. Then i told them the whole above mentioned scenario to the representative and he told me to visit Vodafone Store. These days, i am not able to visit Vodafone store due to some personal problem. Then on Tuesday, 4th April'2010 in afternoon around 12:30 PM, Vodafone has stopped all services related to my alternate# [protected] connection without any ultimatum. Afterwards I called Vodafone Customer care and the representative told me that your mobile# [protected] payment is due that is why vodafone has stopped all the services related to your alternate# [protected]. Due to which I am unable to attend my important business as well as relative calls and suffered lot.

Dear Sir

I have purchased a new SIM (number [protected]) of Vodafone from a retailer in my locality on 20th March 2010. I am able to use the service for approximately three days. However the service got barred and I am unable to make calls or send SMS nor receive calls.

At the time of buying the new SIM I submitted the necessary documents. Approximately after four days I got a message saying that the document I submitted was rejected/incomplete and asking me to submit afresh so that the services may be restored. I did so on 27th March 2010. However till to date the service have not been restored. I called up customer care[protected] many times as well as visit the retailer many times. But my problems have not been solved. The retailer called up an agent at [protected] who said the service will be restored but was not. I myself also called the agent up many times who told me that I will get the service back.

Please look into the matter. As per Vodafone's request I have submitted the required documents two times but still I am unable to benefit from the service. Whenever I called up Vodafone Care their replies are different each time I called up.

Please help me so that I may be able to get the service back and benefit from it.

Sincerely

B Thawnsonmuan

Complaint of Vodafone Postpaid Connection


Dear Sir/Madam,

This is to bring to your knowledge that I had Purchased a Vodafone Postpaid Connection
on , July''09.

I actually made payment online through ICICI Bank netbanking on 02/04/2010 at 10.30 am amount Rs.2323.& the due amount was Rs2337 & the due date was 07/04/2010.& on 03/04/2010 i got a call from vodafone executive to deposit my due amount & I told them that i had made my payment online yesterday.They said ok.

Then same day around 3.00 pm they stopped my outgoing & incoming calls.

Same day(03/04/2010) When I spoke to the customer care department at 8.00pm ,they said due to the outstanding amount they can't open the services.Even i said to record my transaction no. that i made through the netbanking.He said when they update the payment then they would be able to open my services I again said ok.

Next Day(04/04/2010),When I spoke to the customer care department at 8.00pm they said actually we had received ur payment but we can't open your services,u will have go to vodafone store & will have to deposit again the same amount by cash then we would open ur services.I requested that guy to open my incoming calls.So that my near & dear one contact me any time because i m far away from my house(Kanpur) & i m living in Ghaziabad.But he refused to to so on my request.

Due to this carelessness of vodafone services i might be thrown out from my company because my bosses r trying so many times to contact to me

Due to this i m mentally torchered by vodafone

So I request you to kindly look into the matter an do the needful.

Dear Sir / Madam,

Mobile Number - [protected] - Mumbai Circle.
My Vodafone account is locked becasue of non-operating the account for more than 180 days. The message shows that please contact customer care.
When I dial to customer care, the service is chanrgeable @ 50 paise per 3 mins.
I accept the same and try to get information from the customer care agent. Agent ask me all the security questions. This takes more than 3 mins. Then he tells me that please enter wrong pass word 3 times and then log-in as new user again.
I tried that also. After doing so, again I get message that please contact customer care.

In my opinion, customer care service should not be chargeable at least for service industry like mobile phones. This is one way of looting people to earn money. I would like to get back my money which was charged on me for such calls.
I strongly oppose the system of charging customers for online service.

Please help.

Thanks and regards,

Pradip Sutar

Dear Sir,

I had taken a Vodafone Postpaid Connection([protected]) on 10th March, 2010. On activation of the connection I had Blackberry connection(Plan-Rs 249) activated on my phone number on 13th March, 2010. At the time of taking the Blackberry Plan, I was mis-sold the plan stating that I need to pay only Rs 249 for sending and receiving the mails. After using the Blackberry Plan for 2 days, I found that my bill has exceeded Rs. 600. When I spoke to the customer care on (111) , I found that I was using the plan where I was being charged for /Kbps download. After that I had kept my cell on switch off mode till date. On 29th March, 2010, I visited the Vodafone Store, G.S Road, Guwahati for de-activation of my Blackberry Plan and my cell connection. On that day I was offered a new Blackberry Plan of Rs. 899 (Unlimited) which I reluctantly accepted. Today[protected] I received an sms stating my connection has been debarred because I have exceeded my credit limit. To my utter surprise I found my bill to be Rs.1146. Today in the afternoon I went to the Vodafone Store, G.S Road, Guwahat, for de-activation of my phone number and Blackberry Plan. The executive Geetika Deka mis-behaved with me in your Vodafone store and she tore-off the de-activation application form submitted by me in my presence. Is this the way you resolve customer queries? Your advertisements always speaks of "HAPPY TO HELP" but thats what Vodafone lacks. I am totally pissed off by the filthy behavior of Geetika Deka. She is the person who mis-sold the Blackberry Plan. Since she has exposed herself, and her conduct is unbecoming. This email be treated as an application for de-activation of Blackberry Plan and Vodafone connection. I have already paid an advance of Rs.500 at the time of taking connection and I am only liable to pay an additional amount of Rs.100 after adjustment of advance Rs.500, and please ensure my Blackberry Plan and my connection gets de-activated today[protected]. Since I had kept my phone in switch off mode and have not used it, I will not entertain any further financial liability. This mail be treated as a Disconnection as well as Legal Notice and I am deeply shocked of the experience with Vodafone.
