I'm unable to send or receive messages from my new phone. I took a new SIM with my existing phone number as my new phone was not detecting the old sim.
With the new SIM, I'm able to receive/make calls, but not send/receive text messages. I do have sufficient unlimited balance!

      Hello,

      Service has been very bad since last a few days. Nobody is answering properly and don't have any solution to anyone. After multiple discussion with customer care, they only send a message that this will be resolved in 72 hours but nothing happens in fact they message me that your problem has been resolved. When I tried to port my number, I am getting below message.

      ' upc cannot be generated as there are subsisting contractual obligations with your service provider'

        Myself Piu Roy Chowdhury, my mother Mrs. Swapna Roy Chowdhury, contact number [protected]. Her plan is Rs.399 and including GST, the bill amount is 471/- per month and payment (471/-) done by me without any fail. Being a senior citizen, she only utilise her phone for call receive and net shuffle.
        But, in the month of Jun’23 video call charges & from Mar’23 onward, late fees charges add with her bill which was not paid by me. Not possible for me to check each and every bill, so, paid only amount of Rs.471/-.
        Now, the the bill amount comes to (bill of Aug’23) Rs.1218.7.
        On 11th Sept’23, after the payment of Rs.607/-, received a mail of 0(Zero) outstanding.
        After 7 years, I ported my no. to another service provider(15th Sept'23), only because of these unwanted elements every time added with bills.
        They asking for payment for those and telling that "the waiver given to you only for retention with Vodafone"(mailed on 21st Sept'23), this precondition was not disclosed by their customer care service at the time of waive off.
        From 14th Oct'23, another service provider temporarily suspended my mothers no([protected]).
        My question is that why should i pay unnecessary element added by service provider.

        Today(22nd Nov'23) received a SMS from Vodafone as below:
        "Hi, there is an overdue amount of Rs 899.51 for Vi no. [protected] with relationship no.[protected] We appreciate and value your relationship with us. We are offering a waiver of Rs 179.902 on your total outstanding amount as a special one-time offer for your continued association. Please pay Rs 719.608 immediately. This offer is valid only till 24/11/2023. You can pay securely on https://vi.app.link/vibp For details, contact PRIYO RANJAN DUTTA on [protected]."
        That's means, they are asking me to pay the Pro rata basis bill of Sept'23(Rs.288/-) and unnecessary element which they wrongly added with my mothers bills (video call charges, SMS charges, late fee charges etc).
        I am ready to pay only the Pro rata basis bill amount of Sept'23(Rs.288/-). Nothing else.

            Idea cellular now called as vodafone idea has become biggest fraud company to cheat prepaid consumers by stealing recharge amount by forcibly adding games and other ### crap add on thus reducing the balance without consent and knowledge of prepaid consumer
            trai being the regulatory of telecom is acting like partner in this cheating instead of taking stirct action against the vodafone idea, bsnl, airtel, jio, etc
            these companies are charging very high rated packages with less validity which is like leaches sucking blood

            why should we pay for incoming validity out going validity seperately and for only 28 days a hefty amount whether used or not

            trai should think of poor and middle class people who are the largest prepaid subscribers that pay thousands of crores of rupees for the prepaid recharge packs which expiry even when we dont use the amount paid as validity pack for 28 days
            ( example: i pay 107 rupees in bsnl for validity of 35 days in which i hardly use 35 to 45 rupees in the 35 days cycle) and again i have to pay 107 for validity of 35 days, if we want longer validity we need to shell down hundreds of rupees just to save our number
            this is not limited to bsnl but all the idea, airtel and jio are same to suck poor people blood to make money
            and also all the companies spend our money that comes from prepaid and postpaid bills to pay high amd huge salaries to ### who doesnt even CARE CUSTOMERs problems

            i request telecom minister and trai to reduce validity charges in prepaid or give longer validity at very minimu charge so that we can keep our number active and topup talk time recharge as per our need

                I am using Vodafone number since 2003, then it was Hutch. In the year 2017 Vodafone blacklisted my number for privacy and security reasons.
                Today Vodafone activated a Value Added Service named mydelights powered deal and deducted Rs. 47 from my Balance.
                I have written several complaint mails to their customer service email id and nodal officer email id. But nobody responded me. I have chatted through WhatsApp with Vodafone customer care regarding this. They said - "No VAS is activated in my number, but Rs. 47 is deducted". What nonsense.

                How come they activated mydelights powered deal in my number when my number is blacklisted?
                It's a complete fraud service to cheat customers.
                I want my 47 rupees back.
                Vodafone should make sure that they will never cheat me this way again.

                            New SIM Tele Verification Number 59059 Not Working

                            Address: Mumbai

                            A few days ago I ported my mobile number from BSNL to Idea. After porting was accepted, I inserted the new Idea sim in the only sim slot of my iPhone. Then I called 59059 for tele verification as instructed. But the automated voice response said "this number is for new sim verification, for other services dial 199". And then the call got immediately disconnected.

                            I tried this 40-50 times. But every time result was the same....

                            A few days ago I ported my mobile number from BSNL to Idea. After porting request was accepted, I inserted the new Idea SIM and dialed 59059 for tele verification and activation. But on calling 59059 the automated voice says this number is for verification, and for anything else please call 199. And then immediately the call gets disconnected.

                            I have tried this 40-50 times. But result is the same. So what is the solution? How to activate my new Idea sim?

                                Website: Vodafone India

                                1. Date of Incident - 1st Sep 2023
                                2. Description - The proposal for Vodaphone service was initiated from Four Colors India Pvt Ltd on 11th July and the communication started via email. Documents were provided on 19th July to start the service. And we shared the TFS PO with them on the 19th to complete the process.
                                After the follow-up mail was sent from my side on 25 July, one of the contact persons from Vodafone " Kalpesh Lukkad" replied that the service would start only this week. Again on the 26th, I received an email from Vodafone to get the digital CAF signed on the form so I sign on the form and complete the process. on 26th July received the mail from "Rinka Pandey" from NFL Desk Team that order entry has been done. And again there was some correction in the forms and for that we have reached out to Vodafone contact team several times but no one responded till 7th Aug 2023. and finally the vodafone contact team ask us to setup a call to hand over the portal for the service and it was done. after demo no one provide the kit to us and no one contacted or no communication was there and on 14th Aug 2023 we got the bill for the service we never use. I have sent a official mail on 14th Aug 2023 to end the service and there was no reply on that as well. there was only bill generation from Vodafone without using the service even we have requested them to stop the service due to lack of customer support proper updates and handover. Again 4th Sep 2023 new bill generated on Four Colors India Pvt Ltd name without any single use. bill generation was there everytime without any service use by vodafone
