| Address: Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400030 |
I have been facing network issue from last July 16. There is absolutely no network in my building, I have written several email to vodafone through my no. [protected]. After several calls and follow up they sent an engineer to check how bad is the network. After understanding there is absouletly no network, they approached me to check whether the building will allow to install vodafone tower for coverage, which my building refused it.
Niw there response is since your building refused to install the tower we are helpless and this will be rectified only when we get the place near your area for tower.
On their website they show excellent network in the aris, on what basis, nobody knows, it is totally false, this is misleading the customers, just to increase their customer base.
Since they claim excellent signal in my area, the onus lies on them to take immediate action to rectify my network issue which is long pending. Or they should organise an individual nano tower or similar thing to resolve this issue. Else remove the claim of excellent network from their website.
Vodafone India customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
Go through the Trailing mail of last three months, Vodafone is Harassing the customer in This way, if it is the business ethics of the Vodafone, want to earn money in the name of Value added services. Customer is crying since last three months writing mails and mails but they are dumb.
Please resolve this without any further communication.

Hello Sir/Madam,
Thank you for contacting us. My name is Toshiba and I wish to update you on the status of your concern raised about value added service charges on your Vodafone number [protected].
I sincerely regret the inconvenience caused to you.
I would like to inform you that I have checked your Vodafone bill from 28.11.17 to 27.12.17 and found that Rs.1267 for value added services.
Further, as per our records reversal of Rs.1304 on 02.12.2017 and Rs.409.46 on 02.12.2017 has already been credited for value added service charges. Hence, we are unable to reverse the charges and regret for the same.
Please be informed that the third party application/websites are not governed/controlled by Vodafone the functionality and charging pattern of these websites is completely a matter of their respective policies/charging patterns.
There can be pop ups appearing on your screen that are not sent from Vodafone and still lead to charges in the bill (Touching/clicking on them accidently or intentionally).
Such charges seem to be unreasonable to the users, however it is due to the activities done during internet surfing.
day
We would also like to inform you that as per the process since the third party application website do not belong to Vodafone, hence we are not able to intimate if a particular website is chargeable or not, however the charges reflect in your Vodafone bill/balance gets deducted (subject to your segment –prepaid/postpaid) as we are your service provider giving you internet services.
Further, if you wish to know about visited website links that you have surfed you can go through your handset browser (History option) since this is your private information cannot keep a track of this history.
dayWe would also like to inform you that as per the information above there is no option for pop up screen for credit or debit card by asking credentials (id & password) since Vodafone is not charging any amount on it’s own.
As per the process we would not able to restrict the use of any third party application in the website as they are directly linked to the internet once the website is opened on the handset pop up advertisements that are in the website (by default) appear on the screen. Hence, further request you to kindly ignore such pop ups in order to avoid any download charges in future.
Please note that any additional downloads (like games/song/wallpapers etc.) will be charged as per the product details mentioned along with the data charges. E.g. if a wallpaper cost is mentioned as Rs.10, you will be charged Rs.10 along with data charges depending on the download size of the wallpaper.
The service request number for your reference is [protected].
In case you need further assistance, please do call or email us. We'll do our best to help you.
Thank you,

Dear Mr. Harsh,
If the Vodafone TV is third party, and there is no such pop up for subscribing the VAS and Rates. Could you show me any example of That services catalogue and rates. Further for stopping such services, what you think that customers are meant for Massaging to stop these services. when customer is giving you consent in writing that he doesn't want any activation of such type of VAS, why you are not able to block these services since last three month.
If you have no control on the VAS activation, Customer have only option to move another service provider.

Dear Sir,
I had Never used such type of VAS shown in Present and last month bill. at the time of last month bill I had already submitted my objection to customer care executive and he assured me that it will not happen again future and charges reversed, but I got again sms for such type of services activated on my number and again I complaint(no.[protected] to customer care executive and she assured me that all the services are blacklisted and at last I got a bill with the VAS amounting 1549 and called customer care he assured me to correct and send revised bill within next two days.
and I had recd. the bill amounting adding VAS of 235 Rs.
From this I understand that you are not a company to with ethical practices. costumer is harassed in the name of VAS. Every time customer waste time more than a hour to talk your representative, and the problem remains the same.
First of all I want to know what confirmation you are taking at the time of download of such value added service, Please provide the details for the same. I clearly object such practice and never ever downloaded such services, and never want to down load the same.
So Please correct the Bill and send, I can make payment on due date.
