Hi,
I recharged of INR 349 on [protected], as per the scheme I should get free calls and 1GB Internet. There has been no mention, that this recharge is applicable only for the Mumbai circle (As registered mobile number is of Mumbai). I am in Bangalore, and this scheme is not working here. As per customer care person, it is not necessary to mention where scheme is applicable, where as a customer I should be aware whether scheme will be applicable at all places. I would like my recharge amount back in case, they cannot give me the solution.
Thanks and Regards,

Vodafone India customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
I too had a similar experience with Vodafone. I had activated the roaming pack of INR 149 which allows one to get incoming messages whenever one goes abroad. This is a monthly charge which gets billed only if I roam abroad. When I was abroad I got multiple messages that showed that the bill was rapidly climbing and that services would be restricted even though I did not make or receive a single call or message. I was using a feature phone with no data packs. Even after returning they were sending messages with progressively increasing amounts and was saying that I am exceeding the credit amount. I finally got a bill over 1800 though my usual bills are in the low 450 range.
Over email, the operator persistently claims that it is voice charges when abroad and did not give me an itemized bill. I requested for the itemized bill so that they can prove that I made the calls. But they did not provide. I think they must be deliberately doing this or there is a genuine mistake in their billing system. The worst part is that I could not get any incoming message (except one lone message) while abroad defeating the very purpose of taking the incoming-message roaming part.
I have asked them to resolve the issue over email. Do you think I can seek redressal in a consumer protection forum if they do not correct the issue?
