Dear all,







Below in red is the reply that i have recieved from Bigtel IT Solutions pvt. ltd. in response of my concern. I am forwarding the same reply in a separate mail as well. I would like to draw your attention to the carefulness of the bigtel which i think represents vodafone in the public. In the below reply they have quoted the number incorrectly which they had promised to provide me. The number which was promised to be made available to me was [protected] and not [protected].



The reason why i am sending you there reply is because i want to show you people that how well they are carrying out there business. This goes to show that how careless they are when they make promises like these to customers on behalf of vodafone. This brings bad name not to Bigtel but to Vodafone because it is your name which is being used by them.



As far as there offer of refunding the money is concerned this offer is not at all acceptable to me. I would like to tell you one thing that i am not going to deal with BIGTEL anymore as I dont have any faith in what they say or commit. What i simply want is that i should be provided the number which i have already paid for. In case it has been alloted to someone else than what i can do for you is to accept some other number having last five digits as "70000".











Hello Sir,







We apologies for the inconvience and would like to inform you that we have terminated that executive who had committed you this no [protected] & we will ensure that same will not happen again in future.







please provide your address where you wants to receive your refund money







For any details please contact: [protected]

I have buy 9 new line of vdafone group card on 18.06.09. i somement all docoment to andromede marketing pvt .ltd sakinaka mumbai 400072 and fax all docoment to [protected] and mail [protected]@andromeda but up know my ilne not start i call all person of andromeda. form today they are not answer my call

wroteR/Sir, With due respect I have to state that I had a Vodafone(formaly Hutch) prepaid connection([protected]) since last 5years. In Nov 2008, my brother tell me about vodafone postpaid, and show me full value 250Plan. In such concern I visited to vodafone store Bulandhshr and talk to Mr. Gurpreet he told me that the 250 is monthly rental and it can be used for Localas well as STD call purpose. Then I think that my monthly usage is about 300then I should go for it. Actually sir I am working in Gr. Noida where I get roaming. After taking that postpaid connection problems just started. I mention my problem faces in last 6months from Vodafone-1. As Mr. Gurpreet explained that Rs. 250/- can be used for Local and STD purpose, I suppose that it may be used in Roaming also, but my Bill comes in which roaming charges were extra.2. My usages goes upto 600 so everymonth they disconnect my number for 10 days and demand extra security.3. After 2 months of approx 600 per months(650 and 629) payment and disconnection everymonth I decided to chenge my plan again to Prepaid, (As TRAI says- you are free to chqange your plan anytime and noone can bound you to stay in same plan) but they says4-6week time for it, but no result everytime I call customer care a new date has been given to me. but never my problem has been resolved.4. In the bill generated on 18th May the amount was 518 while I had used only my local and STD usage of 111only while I got 250 free per month, the reason was that I only can know unbilled amount but cann't know the roaming and local+STD used amount, because of which I gave extra payment in my Bill.5. Next problem was also from 18th May bill, as I got 5-ISD calls as Thankyou card(were valid from 18th April for one month) and used 3 of them on 3rd may but in my 18th May bill the call charges of Rs. 27/- of 3-ISD calls was also included. 6. I also got offer on 2nd may that if I make 10STD calls that day then I got next 10STD calls free till 9th may, but in my 18th may bill that amount was also added.7. On the basis of above problems of 18th may bill, and after a long discussion and no satesfactory answer from Customer care I decided to I ask Vodafone to Either change my connection from postpaid to prepaid otherwise disconnect my number then they disconnect my number on 25th may 2009.8. After that I visit to Vodafon store they said "we will change ur number to prepaid but it'll take 45 days, but now nothing can happen because you disconnected." the I giver reference to many requestes of mine of past then they quite and not give any satesfactory answer.9. I visited that day for Payment of 18th May bill, and ask them to resolve problem related to extra charges of ISD and STD calls but they said we had entered your request and will resolved in future and you get a new bill then you pay it.10. On 21st June Mr. Kuldeep Saxena from Meerut zone call on my alternate number-[protected] and wish to meet me, I meet him at my home, He came with a Bill of Rs, 652/- which include late charges+last bill amount(including free usage of ISD and STD calls)+usage upto 25th may. Then I again download my bill form vodafone and shaow him the bill and request to resolve before I pay. Then he talked to his Head and after a long discussion he said matter will be final at Rs. 400/-. I paid him the money and wish that my bill will be fully paid. But still the remaining payment is in my account and Mr. Kuleep Saxena denied that he ever said for waived off in the bill. While all the talk was before my all family members.11. Mr. Kuldeep Saxena also offer me the Zero rental plan, of without caller ID(especially for me as company plan include charges) charge if I reactivate my numer, but I said I have not the SIM card, he offer a free SIM card also then my brother said that SIM card is on him and ask me to reactivate as he is requesting. Then I reactivate the number.12. Mr Kuldeep activate my number on older SIM, and said New plan will be activated. but number activated in older 250plan, then I request to change it as I sow my plan details in MY Vodafone account. At last my plan changed to zero rental on 25th June, and they don't give me free caller ID, as Mr. Kuldeep offered me, instead of that they disconnect caller ID.13. Latest problem is that my outgoing are active from that number but incoming is banned till now, as it says "Dilled number is temporalyly out of service" I had again and again called vodafone but problem doesn't resolve.Sir, these were few of a lot problems with vodafone. And I seeks for the resolution from you otherwise I have to go consumer forum.RegardsManish KaushikMohankutiNear Pashu Paith Maidan, BulandshahrUttarPradesh

Dear Sir/Madam,

My mobile number is [protected]. In the month of May i have been billed Rs.6314 for GPRS usage while i was in Europe. On earlier occasions when i was in Europe i have never been billed so much. When i asked the call center for details of my GPRS usage and why i have been billed so much, the answer i get is 'Sir, we do not have any details. You will have to pay for this'.

Instead of solving my problem and giving me details, Vodafone has blocked my calls. When i called the helpline, their supervisor (Ms.Vasanti) kept me on-hold for almost 25 minutes as she wanted to check the details with their backend. Since i did not get any response i hung up the phone. Its been more than an hour and noone from Vodafone has bothered to call me back and resolve my queries.

During my conversations with the call center executives it has been told to me that i can disconnect the service if i wish! In this world of cut-throat competition, Vodafone is more than happy to let go off a customer!! What is more surprising is that Vodafone spends crores of Rupees to promote a service called 'Happy to Help'!

I would like to file a consumer case against Vodafone for such an unprofessional behaviour and causing mental harassment to me. Kindly advise me on how to take this forward.

I look forward to a positive response.

Thanking You,

Mohit Sahni

So once again iam giving written complaint please send me the bill (Hard Copy) to my changed address soon.Untill i receive the Bill statement to my address, iam supposed to pay the Bill & i was not responsible to the Late fee.

With regards,
D.D Sekhar

Facts of the Case

1. I am having Vodafone number [protected] since it was Command and then rechristened to Hutch and then Vodafone for about 9 years. Prior to that I had [protected] since 1996 or so.
2. I am faithful and loyal customer of Vodafone
3. There is no delay payment since inception except on one or two occasion because of me on Holiday / Tour out of Calcutta.
4. During my tenure I have changed plans several time on the advise of Customer Care Executive. Ofcouse, decision to change was always mine.
5. On October 27, 2007 I changed to Present plan ? Plan 2499 of Vodafone where in following facilities was offered to me, also mentioned in the mail annexed herewith name :?Change of Plan ? [protected]? in the attachment.
?On discussion with Ms.Neha, your Customer Care Executive, I request to change my present plan to Rs.2, 4499/- plan where I have been offered all value added services free like 4000 minutes local call free to any phone M+LL, 2000 minutes free for STD to all phones M+LL, 5000 SMS free to any place in India besides all other value added service available at your end free like itemised billing, CLIP, Voice Mail, GPRS including surfing charges, missed call alerts etc. etc. I THEREFORE REQUEST YOU TO CHANGE MY PLAN IMMEDIATELY AND ALSO ENSURE THAT NO EXTRA BILLING IS CHARGED TO ME FOR SUCH CHANGEOVER. I AM DOING CHANGE OVER FOR REDUCING THE BILL AND NOT FOR INCREASING THE BILL. ?
6. At the time of opting this plan, I was given clear understanding that I will be charged at normal rate for any usage beyond 4000 minutes local call, 1000 minutes of STD Calls and 5000 SMS.
7. I was also informed that all value added services like Itemised Billing, CLIP, Voice Mail, GPRS surfing charges, Missed Call alerts etc. etc. will be free of charges to me.
8. All on a sudden, one day I got SMS that all concall charges will be charged at normal rates and I started receiving the bills for concall charges.
9. On my representation that Company can not suo moto make any changes in the plan which affects me financially adversely to me, besides the fact that any concall charges minutes utilization is well within overall limit of local 4000 minutes and STD 1000 minutes, Company reversed all charges.
10. However billing with concall charges continued and consistently I made them my stand clear that I should not be billed this charges which initially I was assured that matter will be looked into and later on I was told that they have made policy decision to charge concall charges at normal rates for every one.
11. I repeatedly informed them about my non acceptance of these charges by mail, verbal communications as well as SMS and gave them option to disconnect my connection if they don?t agree to my viewpoint, but I am not going to pay concall charges.
12. Now they have taken decision that they will continue to charge the concall charges and also If I don?t pay the dues then they will terminate my connection.

Query

13. I have specific query that the minutes utilized with two persons on concall will be treated as local minutes utilization or not?. E.g. If I talk 4 minutes with Mr. A & Mr. B in concall, will the 8 minutes (adding two times four minutes) will be treated as local minutes or not?.
14. Besides If Mr. A has made me a call ( I am recipient of the call) and I am making call to Mr. B and making conference with A & B for four minutes . How many minutes will be treated as local minutes and whether this call will be treated as Con Call.

I request you to kindly look in the matter and ensure that justice prevails and loyal customer like me are not harassed. It is not a matter of 100 to 200 rupees per month for payment of concall charges per month, which I can easily afford as in the past I had paid Rs.4000/- or even more per month for a long period. It is a matter of principle and ethics. Such a large multinational corporation can not dictate any terms as per their whim retrospectively in utter disregards to the promises made ? suo moto. If they decide, it should be for new customers taking such plan from the date decision is taken and making Customer aware of implication of this decision.

I am also attaching last mail received from Vodafone for your perusal and decision.

Rest of the in between mail / corrspondance etc. will be produced before you in case need arises.

Prayer

In the mean time I pray before your goodself to direct the Company not to disconnect / terminate my connection till
1) decision is taken from your end and
2) reply to my query mentioned above is given in this matter,
under intimation to me.

With regards
Ashok K.V.Shah

It is very unfortunate to write this kind of a feedback from an old Vodafone customer. Vodafone has launched a very cheap way of earning money. This scheme is called Vodafone Tuesdays. They display good offers on their site and ask customers to call. When you call them, these offers are never displayed for you to select. As a result paying them 3 rupees a min raises your bill to the amount of minutes you wait for your offer to be said out during the call. Read out more to know what happend with me.

I met Vodafone guys (at DLF Cybergreens Gurgaon) at a kiosk set by for promoting Vodafone Tuesdays offers. I registered myself with them and also asked them for the process. They asked me to call a number 56777 and look for available offers. I wanted to have food offers from Pizza hut, Dominos or KFC. I dialled the number and waited for good odd 30 mins for any of the above said offers but when none of them appeared, I disconnected. The only point I have to say is that how come Vodafone site displayed all these offers when they were never offered during 30 mins of call. Either the site was not updated or the software that gives these offers was not in sync with your vodaphone site.

I must say that this was a very cheap way of duping thecustomers. Hope some one hears me out and refunds my money.

On top of that below was a stupid mail responded by customer care:

Its realy funny to see that vodafone has real dumb customer care that do not apply there brain before responding. The guy admits that there was a misrepresentation of information but says "Hence we will not be able to refund..." ...
Please do not use this offer and stay safe...

Hi,

As per Vodafone Mumbai's latest competetion - Pre due date competition, I tried & entered the contest by paying my bill before the due date (7 days earlier).

As per the competition rules, I am supposed to sent a SMS as follows:

“PDD I prefer paying my bills before due date as …….***
SMS to toll free number: “4044”

This SMS does not get delivered, neither do you receive any confirmation after that.

I have read the terms & conditions of this contest & only in the terms they have specified to send message to the said number - 4044.

I feel that Vodafone is only cheating their customers & in actual, there is no such offer!

Sir,

This is Prashant Gala using your Vodafone Post paid number[protected] from the year 2005.I want to Complaint about the Fact that Vodafone Customer Care Department is very much a hopeless Department.I had gone to make a Payment of Vodafone Bill of Rs 2660 on 9th September 2007 through my Debit Card. Due to some technical reasons the Debit Card Machine haulted my Transaction & due to this i asked the Vodafone executive not to swipe my Debit Card again but he didnt listen to me & said sir there is no problem in our machine dont worry nothing wrong would happen. Due to his assuarance i signed the Confirmation Slip & walked out of the Vodafone store. Next day when i went to my ATM Centre to withdraw some money there was hardly any Balance left in my account & the reason behind it was that my Debit Card got swiped Twice with the amount of Rs 2660 on the Day of Transaction. When i visited that Vodafone Store again the executive refused to Credit me back that extra amount which was swiped twice, despite of showing him my Bank Account Statement in which it was clearly showing the amount getting swiped twice.Then i again went to my Bank & cross confirmed it with them but they said the amount had already being debited from account & they couldnt help me more in this. Sir now when almost Two years have been passed out fighting with Vodafone, Complaining with them several times i've come here for justice & i hope you will definately help me & look into this matter asap. I hope i would get the Credit back as it is not a small amount & it really matters to me as am a only Bread Earner to my family.

Thanking You,

Prashant Gala

Hi,

I have been trying to register online one vodafone.in with my postpaid account number [protected] but to no avail. I did this twice, I even got my password but when i tried registering my account said de-activated, I tried again but the website's enter button wont work!

Then I called customer care who registered on my behalf, I received my password. But now, when I try registering again, I provide my security answer that the customer care rep gave me, after dis again the enter button doesn't work on the site and there is no response. Such a huge company and can't have a functional website????

Registering on airtel site is sooo simple!!! on vodafone, first step is online, den call customer care, then receive sms and then again register wid password smsed to you online. Some ten steps in various mediums involved!!!

Dear sir,

I had a vodafone postpaid connection in january which i cancelled in April. I didnt got any postpaid bills on my correspondence address. I paid 2 months bill, when i got my due bill amount as a messege from vodafone. i lodged a complaint with them for providing me with the postpaid bill. and since i didnt got the bill still at my address, i witheld the due amount for march. i told them then also that i will pay my bill only when i get all the bills. they said they will be sending all the bills to my address. but since then, i havent got any bill from them, and not even a single call or reply from them. yesterday i have got a notice from the companies lawyer that i MUST pay the bill within 7 days or else legal action will be taken against me. but i cant pay my bills as i dont know how much i spend or where i spent all that usage of my vodafone bill.
please help me in this regard.

Thanks
