Dear sir/madam, my name is captain suresh chandran. I'm a serving officer in the indian navy and presently serving at okha/gujarat. I'm a vodafone subscriber and my mobile number is [protected] (A post paid connection). My email id is [protected]@rediffmail.com. My complaint about poor services of vodafone and deliberate harassment. I had requested for porting out on 12 oct and then again on 30 oct. Details are as follows: -
12 oct
1. Request for porting out sent by sms and porting out number received - vg342715 on 12 oct 17.
2. Pending bill as on 12 oct 17 - rs 1449.42
3. Amount paid to clear pending bill and anticipated extra amount - rs 1675 (Transaction id - jhmp[protected])
No action initiated by vodafone to port out despite repeated calls from vodafone enquiring about reasons for seeking to port out and despite having cleared all pending bills including an extra amount of rs 225.58.
30 oct
1. Request for porting out sent by sms and porting out number received - vg124685 on 30 oct 17.
2. Pending bill as on 26 oct 17 - rs 1425.99
3. Amount paid to clear pending bill - rs 1425.99 on 03 nov 17
Sms received from vodafone confirming nil outstanding balance on 03 nov 17.
My porting out request is still pending despite repeated calls from vodafone and telephonic confirmation by me. Various emails have also been sent to ms vaishali on vodafonecare. [protected]@vodafone.com
Despite having confirmed by sms the reason for porting out i have been harassed by multiple calls seeking reasons from me time and again. The same can be confirmed from my call records. I have also received a sms alleging that vodafone is unable to get in touch with with me when the actual fact on ground is the contrary. I had called on [protected] regarding this sms and re-confirmed my request. The standard response has been that my porting request is being processed and that it will take seven days. The porting out request of 12 oct lapsed due to gross and deliberate inefficiency of vodafone.
On 07 nov at i had called the vodafone consumer care number at 1219h from [protected] to check about my porting out request. During the ensuing conversation i was told that this number is for delhi and that i would have to speak to gujarat vodafone consumer care and enquire. It was also intimated that i could send my complaint by email on nodal. [protected]@vodafone.in.
Subsequently as advised i called up gujarat consumer care number [protected] at 1225 to check about the status of my porting request. After a 10.13 minutes long conversation i was assured that my number will be ported out. The individual on line, one mr pritam, when queried confirmed that i have no bill amount outstanding and that i will be ported out.
Incidentally the mail sent to the mail id given by the delhi office bounced.
Today, 08 nov, i again received a call from vodafone at 1532h, from [protected] with the same query as to why i wanted to port out. The entire story was repeated with the vodafone agent. The same assurance of the request being under process was given.
It was now very apparent that vodafone is not aware of any earlier conversations or complaints/requests and the aim seems to tire out the consumer with deliberate and harassing calls. The deliberate intent also seems to be to delay the process and then blame the consumer for not having cleared the bill accrued in the interim and claim that the process has timed out.
Request vodafone resolve the issue and port me out at the earliest.
All mobile calls from and to vodafone have been recorded by me to support my complaint. A check of the call records by / at vodafone will bear out my complaint.

Vodafone India customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
Please deactivate the post paid number [protected] as I do not use the number any more.
Regards
Subhashish Sen
