On the same day, after some time I received a call from Ashish Bhardwaj ( Tel. no [protected]) from the verification dept. and he got all the particulars verified and commited to me that your number will be operational within 4 hours. He also told me that I would receive a call within a few minutes from a number which will have the last 3 digits as “000”

I dialled the same allotted number – [protected] and it was received by some Chandan Singh and he told me that he has purchased the same number on 16th July, 2009 by paying a premium amount of Rs. 5000






26 July, 2009

Out of guilt on their wrong doing, I received call from 3 numbers –
[protected](5.33 PM)
[protected](6.07 PM)
[protected](6.11 PM)

These guys tried to compensate by offering me some other numbers which I did not want to accept and when they had no choice they started using abusive language.

I dont know whether this is the problem with only one Vodafone Store that I have been visting for the past 3 months or it is with entire Vodafone Customer Care Services. This is the most disgusting and pathetic customer care service I have come across.
First I wanted to get my number tranferred and for that I went to submit the documents 3 times to Vodafone Store in Aundh, Pune. Everytime i went there with documents i was told to get one more new document and finally when all the documents were accepted I was told that my number will be tranferred within 10-12 days. But after one month when it still dint get change and i went to check out with the store, the simply aweseom guys over there told me that my request have not been raised yet and documents were lying somewhere deep down in the pile of garbage. Again i was told that due to changed policies I will have to submit few more NEW Documents. Next time I went there on Saturday with all the complete documents and they asked me to come on Monday to sumit the document as the documents might get lost !!! I also wanted to get a temporarily suspended number activated again and for that gave the application. It had to be activated within 24hrs. But as I was sure o[censored]selss and good for nothing work of Vodafone so i told them 10 times that its urget to get this number activated ASAP and I was assured it will be done. Next day when as expected from Vodafone it dint get activated so i called them up and askd wot the hell was their problem now, they told me "No request has been raised for it yet"
Now guys plzzzz tell me what to do with this Vodafone Store and the customer care services. No written complaint on Vodafone's website is addressed. I have got 2 Vodafone numbers and I am planning to change it at the very first chance i get. Plz never in life take Vodafone number or advice someone else to take it.

I am on permanent roming and retaining the SIM for Old references users. In coming calls coming by customer care for new scheme, aids and other information is being levied for all incoing which I donot require.
Kindly stop the incoing Call form Information services..
Details are as below;

There seems to some serious billing issue regarding Vodafone Mobile Connect Rs 899/- unlimited usage plan .
As taking into consideration even a least download speed of 10kbps if someone uses the internet
Services for even an hour the unbilled amount for download comes to approximately Rs 1800/-
((60mins*60sec*10kbps)*(0.05Rs))
And if someone uses it for couple of hours the unbilled amount is surely goanna exceed
the credit limit making it impossible to use the services further.
This seems to be a serious issue as we have already been charge in advance for the service o[censored]nlimited usage and then not allowed to use the service stating the unbilled amount for net usage wherein no such amount is actually due, as the plan is for unlimited usage and rental has been taken in advance.
This to me appears to be a fraudulent way of stopping the customers from using the services.

Vodafone One Month Blackberry Charges Rs. 15000 (Plan was Rs. 499), Vodafone Number [protected]
My Vodafone number is [protected]...

I had activated Blackberry on my Mobile by calling Vodafone Customer Care.

I was told about a plan of Rs. 499..wherein I will get 500 MB free for the usage, I had crossed checked twice to confirm that its 500 MB and not 500KB. Now I am being told that the plan offer 500Kb as free services.

To my surprise I received an SMS intimation of Rs. 10000 of the Usage on 12th July, as the bill was not generated (Bill Cycle followed is 18th-17th) I was told to check back on 18th July.

However in span of last 6 days Bill has gone up by Rs. 5000/- now my current Bill amt is Rs. 15158/-

In the duration of last one month from 18th June to 12th July I did not get any intimation from Vodafone on usage of Blackberry.

It is very surprising that Plan of 1099 offers unlimited usage, wherein plan of 499 is now costing me Rs. 15K.

I have already approached Vodafone Gallery at Lower Parel yesterday but was of no help.

Only option I can see forward is to discontinue with the services which ideally should be my last option as I don't intend to change my number.

Looking forward for any help possible.

regards,

sir,
i have to state that we have already provided the address proof and verification to vodafone.as we belong to up(e) and every time ur people cutoff the connection of our mobile enquirng about the address verification.If this type things will happen again and again then we will take the vodafone sim.please look into the matter as soon as possible try to resolve our problem.

Hello,

I would like to register a complaint against Vodafone Mumbai for harassment. They've sent me repeated communication asking me to pay a bill which has already been paid. I have in fact recieved an email confirmation from Vodafone stating that there're no outstandings in my bill, inspite of which I've received calls and emails asking me make the payment, failing which they shall take "legal action" against me. When informed that the bill has been paid, I'm being asked to send in the confirmation that the bill has actually been paid. Its like I'm dealing with various companies instead of dealing with different departments of the same company.

I have already sent them the details as required but the reason I'm lodging this complaint is because I'm being repeatedly harassed by them asking me to confirm that I've made my payment. There's no assurance that after this there shall be no more communications for payment of an already paid bill. Requesting assistance.

sir, i am receiving messages on my mobile no [protected] from an unknown number [protected].
please mail me d name and address of d mobile number holder [protected].
thank you.

I recharged for Rs. 300 but the amount refilled to my account was only Rs 141.99. On asking what is the reason that this amount they had deducted for, vodaphone people replied that this deduction is made for processing fees. On asking what is the processing fees for, that they have deducted, they dont have any answer for that.
It is realy very harrasing that when u go for recharge for a particular amount and u dont get the amount u have recharged for and above that u dont know what is the cause of the deduction...

The details about my transaction is given bellow:
Transaction Id: KK[protected]
Date and Time of transaction: 18 July 2009 19:13:06
Amount Pad: Rs. 300.00
Amount Refilled: Rs. 141.99.

Today afternoon I received a call from Vodafone caller tune service. At the start it said "This call is in response to your request for setting a caller tune" or something like this. Then I heard the song "Woh paheli baar" being played. Suddenly the song stopped & I as said, "Thank you for selecting the song. Your caller tune will be set within 24 hours". Though I did not do anything to set any caller tune. Then I got few messages saying that I have set "Bhojogourango" as my caller tune. Something like this has happend to me earlier as well. Then the customer care executive heard me properly, she also refunded 45/-. Perhaps she knew that 45/- is a quite lot of money to waste at Vodafone's whims. But this time, few hours later when I called the Customer Care I was said that I myself have set the tune. Which is not true at all. I was horrified when I heard the customer care executive accusing me of lying indirectly.
I would be pleased if some higher authorities intrude in the matter and try to resolve my queries about why:
i) Why in such way caller tune will be said without my wish or knowledge?
ii) How come I will not get the refund as ti was not my fault?
iii) Hoe can the customer care executive say money ca not be refunded in these cases although I was refunded earlier?
