I am a vodafone customer since 2006.
I walked into to vodafone store (A s rao nagar, hyderabad) to update my aadhar details. I was told that i need to port my number from bangalore to hyderabad to able update aadhar details.
I told the my requirements (International roaming - australia) and my monthly minimum bill that i have been paying since years (~rs 175). I was told that i need to pay rs149, if i port out the number to hyderabad and will be getting new sim.
I thought its a good deal, and got hyderabad sim and requested to make necessary changes (Plan, aadhar and number porting).
After 3-2 days, i got a call saying, i need to pay deposite as i a new vodafone customer. To enable international roaming, to be need to pay extra deposite.in addition, i will be charged rs149 extra every month towards roaming.in total, ~300 (149+ 149) + gst, every month.
I feel cheated.
Requested to port out my number to another provider. Was told that as per rules, i can't leave vodafone for 90 days.
I have asked, if i can go back to my previous plan (Bangalore). Was told, there is no way and i have to wait for 90 days, else i would loose the number.
Not sure, how do i retain my number and get a decent deal.

This is a very poorly planned initiative. There's no provision to do it outside of circle. There's no provision for home visit for elderly people who can not visit the store. Secondly everyone does it differently. Long back I asked vodofone thru this forum, what is the provision for elderly people who can not visit the store. They are silent about it. Till date they have not resolved my complaint.
Digital India is useless, we can not even digitally talk on the same network across rooms. The network is poor. I still don't understand in this era or digital india (??????????) when there are so much advances (???????) in computer, networking and tele communication why each circle data with mobile service providers is still isolated, why each circle has a different call center number and why you can not proceed with any actions on phone number of one circle thru another
we are a million years still away from digital india.
