Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

I wondered to see my bill after 16 days struggle. I am very much thankful to you all VODAFONE guys who helped me.

Everytime I call, they ask for phone number, name and other details. They ask for problem, raise a complaint and they aks to wait for 24 hrs. If I start enquiring...they disconnects the call.

Again call back, again enquiry of phone number, name and problem, rasing a complaint, asks to wait for 24 hrs...

Next day, again same thing repeted.
Next day, same thing,
next day, same thing,

When I ask to connect me to one of their supervisors...they simply told that they are verymuch busy and not able to attend the call. If I insist them to connnect...they hang off the phone.

When I tried to check in your vodafone site, I got the I/O error message. The screen shot attached with this mail. I am facing this prob with ur site since from my first day. I called your customer care after this problem only to get help.

Sir, Please understand from customer's perspective. How a customer feel the situation. Everytime he call, gets a new guy into phone asks for the same details and asks to wait for 24 hrs...it is not for one day. For 16 days...listening the same thing for 16 days...how could be the customer emotions.

I did not see this type poor response in the past.

I am very much sorry for the inconvinience caused.

Please, I am sincerely requesting you to understand the customer problem and try to help him. Don't treat him as a waste fellow. He is ur business resource.

I got much frustration on ur customer care.

I purchased a Vodafone Prepaid no [protected] on 19th June 08 from Shriram Communication, NIT, Faridabad after submitting all required documents. The sim worked well for 2 days and then from 21st June its outgoing was barred due to non- submission of documents. Mr. Sachin of Shriram Communication said that he submitted the documents on 20th June. The outgoing is still not working today on 24th June and now the dealer Sachin is not responding...

I have deposited 500 rs. in cash in one of the kiosk machine at vodafone vashi railway station cetre. The amount is not updated yet and they are asking me to make the bill payment again. I have visited the vodafone store twice and there is no positive response for my resquests.

I am a New customer of Vodafone.

I had ordered a new SIM card on march 8th 2008, which got activated only on 3rd june 2008. To top it all, my SIM has been blocked by vodafone " esteem executives" and the customer care executives are super rude . I can't make and receive call. What kind of services do they actually run?!?!? I am perplexed.


I tried calling gulshan arora of the company on the no. mentioned on their site, but no response or I guess he is too busy to take anyones call.

I am totally fetup from the vodafone customer care executives ...
I dnt know why they provide wrong information.
and if not then why there is verification in information given by different executives on same issue...
And if they caught red handed by some customers then they just cut off the calls or just hang out the calls.
why they want to get rid of their duties..

I have been using Vodafone (previously Hutch) Delhi for quite some time - their customer service, that is, number 111 has gone from bad to worse. While they are showing advertisement that boasts of their good customer care, the fact is that in spite of waiting for more than 20 minutes for almost every day since the last 2 weeks, I have not been able to get anyone on line.

I simply need to change my talk plan since the...

I am in a short visit to kerala for 2 weeks, I purchased one vodafone prepaid connection of above mentioned no.([protected]) from a vodafone agent in Thakazhy, Alappuzha, on 12 th June.I submitted all the necesary documents as requested by the agent on the same day itself.I have given the same mobile no. for my brother's matrimonial advertisement in the 5th page of manorama classifieds on 15 th June. (classified no.EKR45234531KTM).but unfotunately from 19 th morning onwards my connection has been disconnected due to some strange reasons as they explain. I contacted customer care of the company for several times on 10.30 AM 19th june and they promised to reactivate my no. within 48 hours. But till now my connection remains as disconnected. I lost a lot of calls and my valuable time and prestige by giving negative messages upon trying on my no. in respose to the clasified i have given for my brothers Marriage. Also I lost the advantage of advertisement and my valuable money i spent for the advertisement due to the worst customer service provided by the company. On my every call to the customer care and their marketing agents, they are interested only to transfer the respsibility inside their organisation, No body is ready to take the responsibilty to reactivate my connection.

EVERY TIME WE CALL VODAFONE CUST CARE BUT WE DID'NT REPONSE .WE WANT TO DEACTIVATE OUR SMS40 PROMO PACK, BUT WHERE WE TALK TO YOUR EXECUTIVE BECAUSE YOUR TOLL FREE NO. LIKE(111, [protected])NOT RESPONDING.I[censored] WILL NOT TAKE DECESION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WE WILL NOT PAY ANY SINGLE PANY.PLEASE TAKE ACTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE'

Hi, i got no of calls from vodafone which got irritated me. Got calls from different numbers daily. my no is [protected].

I had purchased an add on connection from Vodafone when I got a call from them soliciting to do so.
My experience thereafter is in the mails I have appended.
Just because I had also written to you, the agents at 111 have started acting as if they can not hear me as soon as I tell them who I am.
The Nodal officer's cell phone is perpetually on answering machine which has no further space for my message.
Despite so many calls and emails to 111, [protected]@vodafone delhi and their nodal officer I am not getting
Now with this new retaliatory move by vodafone where the 111 doesn't even want to listen to me, what do I do?
Their Vodafone store in Gurgaon is shut as a weekly off.

Should I be penalised just because I approached TRAI for redressal?
Help me.

Dear All

Reg: [protected] & [protected]
I am being unnecessarily mentally harrassed.
Need to know: why even on fourth day, my connection not getting activated?
This is not what you promised when you solicited me on phone and tempted me with sweet promises for an additional connection.

Will TRAI take some notice of malpractices detailed in my earlier mail (attached)?

Regards

Dimple Mohindra
PS: I have made at least 15 calls to 111 and I get a different version everytime. Amit (of vodafone store JMD Gurgaon) too promised to call back yesterday morning. No results!!

Dear Sir at TRAI
Copy is being marked to you about business malpractice by Vodafone where first they solicit customers with inflated miscommunicated promises & the slowly start playing by the book and yet fail to deliver.
My last disappointment was when the customer care executive with vodafone: Chandan; who took my complaint refused point blank to share the contact details of their nodal officer. My ticket numbers for last few complaints are : [protected] & [protected].
During this conversation I was clearly denied any escalation of my problem and also denied details of contacting their nodal officer.

The rest of the mail is to Vodafone as well to highlight my issue.

regards

Dear Gurpreet.

To begin with, I was disappointed that even the number given to contact you is never reachable!!

Now my two complaints:

1. My additional connection ([protected]), despite promises is still not active, nor have I received any verification call. There is no help offered by 111 after three calls and they refuse to divulge contact numbers of the Vodafone store despite knowing that only they can help.
2. There is confusion on my due amount and despite seeking clarity from Vodafone store, I do not know wheteher I owe money or there is excess in my account. Vodafone store says I have credit of Rs 700/- in excess where as 111 says I need to pay Rs. 700/-. For your info: I paid approx Rs. 700/- by cash on 31st mmay 2008.
Details:
During a call I was solicited by Vodafone's agent on 111 for an additional connection a week back. The set of promises included:

1. I will get 10% off on both our connections.
2. He will get the new number activated within two hours.
3. I will get the number of my choice without premium.

Based on this, I visited your store at JMD in Gurgaon and was attended by Alka first and by AMIT later.

1. I chose the plan suggested by her and we gave all papers asked for and she VERIFIED them as correct.
2. I chose [protected] as my choice and she confirmed that it is a normal number without premium & its availability
3. Within less than a minute (at 6.55pm), after taking the payment of Rs. 250/-; she comes back and says that I have to pay premium for that number. On further insistence she told me that she made a mistake and that number has been blocked!!
4. Under duress, I chose another number: [protected].
5. To my horror, activation time from 2 hours became 48 hours.
6. On insisting to meet the Manager and waiting for 30 minutes to meet him, Amit promised to accelerate the process and not treat me by the book. His promise was that the connection will be activated within 18 hours and that too because the post paid system was under repair for 15 hours. In fact we all know that in open market activation is done within 2 to 8 hours.
7. In my case, the Company hasnt even called to verify after 48 hours.

My observation: a solicited customer is treated to much better service than a walk in customer in Vodafone & as importantly; both, the 111 as well as the website are dummies and of no real use to the customer except the VERY FORMAL and deploringly diplomatic choice of words.

Please ensure that my connection is activated or let someone call to tell me why not.

my vadafone no was [protected]

I, Mr. Ramsahay Yadav, brother of "Rajesh Kumar Yadav" user of mobile no [protected] (Mumbai) was travelling to Kanpur during 07.06.08 to 12.06.08 and I made many local as well as STD calls from my said mobile. I found that during my roaming call i was charged Re.1/- for all incoming calls and Rs.1.50 for Local (calls made to Kanpur numbers) as well as STD calls which is wrong, as per Roaming Tariff, all Local calls should be charged Re.1/- but they charged me Rs.1.50/-

Same problem were happend also when i was travelling to U.P. and Bihar in March month, that time also they charged me a flat rate of outgoing calls i.e. Rs.2.40 for all my outgoing calls including locals.

Kindly look into the matter and do the needful. If possible kindly credit the excess amount charged for Local calls.

Regards.

Ramsahay Yadav
