I had made calls to 111 (on October 29 2007) regarding a problem.Still my problem has not been resolved. The executives and the CEO in the 111 desk did not respond properly to my queries due to their improper information I lost my account balance of about Rs 10.15 and a recharge pack worth Rs 19. Since they did not replied properly I enquired with the retailer to whom I recharged with. She asked me to speak to 347. I made the call on 3 15 PM 0n 30, 31 October 2007 (both days same time) the executive’s name was Nithiya. Though she forwarded my complaint she was trying to convince me as much as she can. She did not believe about the calls I made to 111. I clearly explained the mistakes they made while speaking to me for the each attachments of this letter. I am expecting a proper response from you to rectify my problem. The repay of the amount I lost is not alone the problem. Since they wasted my time, my account balance and my money by giving improper information I expect a pay back of more than a repay of my money back.
A NOTE ABOUT MY PROBLEM
I had recharged for Rs 19 on October 29 about 8PM for surfing the internet via my PC. I called 111 to gain technical assistance. P.Shiva kumar (a trainee) had attended my call. He asked me to SMS ->WWW to 52586 and SMS ->VL to 52586. To receive settings for mobile internet so that I can surf the internet by connecting my mobile to my PC and surf the internet. I did as he said. I received an SMS from GPRSsettings saying that I will receive the Vodafone live settings soon. I waited about one hour and I got an SMS from GPRSsettings saying that the Vodafone live settings have been sent to me. But I not received the settings so I called again to 111. Then I told my problem to them .An executive named Yuvaraj attended my Call he gave me the following technical details for connecting to the internet.
ACCESS POINT: portalnmms
IP ADDRESS: 10.10.1.100
PROXY NUMBER: 0000
DNS ADDRESS: 0.0.0.0
It was about 11:30 PM I got this information and proceeded to connect to the internet. After one hour after switching off and on the mobile for several hours by using the information given finally it was connected by using the information given by him. It showed that the system has been connected at 115.2 kbps the network status showed a steady increase in the amount of data sent but the incoming data was very low. So I cannot able to open any page in the internet. Since it was late night then I slept. The next day morning I tried few times and then I suspected there may be some problem in My PC. So I took my mobile with data cable to my brother’s home and tried there and with in few minutes the mobile connected with the internet @115.2kbps but the same problem persists. So I again called 111 for technical assistance at that time they told me to SMS -> WWW to 56789. I did as they said. I lost account balance of about Rs10.15 but still I did not receive the settings. I received an SMS from GPRSsettings saying that I will receive the settings soon. I waited about one hour and I received an SMS from GPRSsettings saying that the settings have been sent to me. But still I did not receive the settings. Then I again called to 111.An Customer Care executive attended the call and instructed me to send SMS -> <ANY WEB ADDRESS> to 52586. She disconnected my line without hearing my problem of loss in account balance. I did as they said. I received an SMS from GPRSsettings asking me to type VL send to 52586.Since my number has been barred from calling 111 so I reached the nearest Vodafone retailer and said my problem they asker me to speak to 347 (they did not permitted me to record that call since they had that dealership SIM in an wrong ID proof (Durai Saami nadar malihzi , othakkal mandapam Coimbatore[protected]. I spoke to them and found that all the information given to me till that time was wrong (except SMS -> WWW to 56789).Which should have been charged Rs 3 per SMS. They told me that I used a wrong settings to access the internet so I cannot able to view any pages. Since I argued that I did every thing as per the instructions given by their executives. They asked me to speak to their chief. I said my complaint to him then he asked me to wait then the line was disconnected without any proper response. Then I called 111 using the procedure explained in “111_barred_111_No TL.amr”. I spoke with Gokul ( as mentioned in Attachments file _”with gokul.amr”). I did as he said. I received a message saying that it was an invalid service code. Then about 3:15PM I reached the retailer where I recharged with Rs 19(it is not the place nearest to my home). They asked me to call and speak to 347.I am executive named Nithya attended the call I asked her to connect to their CEO she said she cannot do that instead she can help me. I placed my query to her then at last after about 20 min she agreed that she forwarded my complaint and then they will refund my balance and my 19Rs pack with in 24 hours she also said that their technical team will call back to me with in 24 hours. I waited patiently but nothing happened. Then the next day I again called to 347 in the same shop same time the same executive attended the call. She told to wait for 3 more days. And she scolded the retailer for allowing me to speak to the 347 via their special dealership SIM. The next day morning I called 111 (via method explained in Attachments file _ “111_barred_111_No TL.amr”) then I got the technical info about the settings mentioned below).
IP ADDRESS: automatic
PRIMARY SERVER NUMBER: 0000
IP ADDRESS: 0 10.010.001.100
PORT: 9201
Then I asked to connect the line to their TL since he did not respond properly and disconnected the line I again called 111 via same method and also found an improper response from them (explained in Attachments file _” 111_barred_111_No TL.amr “). Then about 1 week later I got a call from Vodafone (from [protected]). He said that he is an employee of Vodafone then gave me little information mentioned below.
To set home page as “www” then give no parameters for other settings.
He also said that he forwarded my complaint to their higher officials and my money will be refunded soon. To clear more doubts on GPRS he asked me to call 111 and ask to connect to him.but I did not get my account balance back.

Vodafone — INTERRUPTED MOBILE SERVICE
Dear Sir,This is to bring to your notice that my mobile - [protected] is currently not functioning properly. My incoming calls are coming ; however I cannot make any outgoing call.
Infact I had called customer care Vodafone for a query as my mobile balance goes down automatically every time I recharge ( prepaid )..this might be becoz I get unnecessary service messages. I conveyed the same to your customer anfd told to stop all incoming service messages care but they failed to understand and said that if I recharge for Rs 50, the talk time is Rs 40 which any lay man knows.
I hope you undersatnd my concern and solve my problem ASAP or else I have to look for another connection.
Thanking you,
Ratul
