Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

An agent came to provide us with a corporate plan in our office and promised us that the porting would be done in 7 working days. This has not happened now. The details were provided for the Airtel No: [protected] on 4th April, 2016. Still no updates on the same and I cannot see any progress on the porting status website: http://mnpindia.in/know-your-porting-status.aspx . This has been confirmed by a agent in Vodafone store at Sakinaka, Mumbai.

This is not right and what is promised must be provided to the customer.

On 15th April 2016, 2:39 pm, a service called MOBILE mela got activated in my number and 35 rupees got deducted from my main balance. After calling the customer care, they deactivated it and assured the refund within 30 min. But, it's almost a day gone and I am yet to get the refund. And now my IVRS 199, through which I contacted the executives is also blocked. Please help solve this problem.

Hi. I'm using vodafone number [protected] which belonged to mumbai circle earlier and now ported to gurgaon circle on 10th feb, 2016. In last week of December, 2016 i had activated monthly roaming plan of 75 Rs. and the last bill i received from mumbai vodafone generated on 11th feb, had charged roaming plan charges and also the roaming charges. i called gurgaon customer care to address the issue but they say as the number belonged to mumbai circle when that bill was generated they dont have any info on the charges applied.
Today, i visited the vodafone store in gurgaon and your executive there confirmed me that if i activate the monthly roaming plan it wont be deactivated unless i raise a deactivation request which i never did. so, again i called the mumbai customer care and the guy is saying as the number is deactivated from mumbai circle so he can't do anything.
I dropped email as well but they just mentioned as the plan was deactivated to roaming charges are applied but when i mentioned them that i never requested for plan deactivation. they never responded back. it has been 2 weeks now. and because of this i could not pay the bill and unnecessarily late payment charges are being added further.
please do the needful.

I recharged cell no 9xxxxxxxx9 for rs 700 for getting talktime of rs
725.But i got only rs 608.35.This is ridiculous.I tweet it.Talk to
[protected] but use less.Also sent screenshot of recharge web page and mailed thrice to cc.Cc officials talked repeatedly but the it is not recharged with proper value.It proved that higher recharges values have serious software problems.

मैंने 4 अप्रैल को अपने मोबाइल नंबर [protected] पर मेरी बिना स्वीकृति के चलाई जा रही विभिन्न सेवाओं के बारे में शिकायत की थी, वोडाफोन ने इन सेवाओं के लिए पिछले कुछ सालों से इन सेवाओं का शुल्क मुझसे बे वजह वसूल रहा है। लेकिन मेरी शिकायत की ओर आपकी ओर से कोई ध्यान नहीं दिया गया। मुझे कंपनी की ओर से मेल मिली की 2 दिन में समस्या का समाधान होगा लेकिन ऐसा नहीं हुआ प्लीज मुझे बताएं कंपनी मेरी शिकायत पर क्या कार्रवाई कर रही है अन्यथा मैं उपभोक्ता फोरम की शरण लूं, जिसकी पूरी जिम्मेवारी वोडाफोन कंपनी की होगी।

I April 4 at his mobile number without my approval 9, 671, 759, 998 run had complained about various services, services for Vodafone in the past few years because of these services charge a fee for me bay. But from you on behalf of my complaints were ignored. Mail I received from the company in the 2nd day but it did not solve the problem, please let me know what the company is taking action on my complaint, otherwise I shall approach the Consumer Forum, which will be the responsibility of the company Vodafone.

From 20th March 2016 onwards signals at Cinaibaug Industrial Estate DudheshwarRd Ahmedabad -4 are distorted and weak. Before this date everything was fine. I am using 3 numbers of Vodafone. I am having first number when Essar started this network at Varanasi. We met different customer care offices in Ahmedabad but till now we are waiting for our complaint is corrected.

Today morning I woke up and saw a message (2:46am) saying that a service named' model paradise service' has been activated and 35 ₹ has been charged for 7 days...wtf... I mean really...
Y shall I keep balance then in our phone...i[censored] r tend to steal our balance by auto activating services on our numbers. I can't tolerate it anymore. Earlier also I faced the same issue.. And tonight it's again...also I talked to cc and they said we can't refund your money...
Vodafone be loyal to your customers.. Don't harass them...I just don't want to listen any excuse...I just want my money back...

Dear sir, this is to inform that i am having a post paid connection no. [protected] since a 18-20months. Since january 2016 i have ask for deactivate the number. Below is the copy of mail and details

On 1/5/2016 11:09 am; from: [protected]@gmail.com; to: corpcare.[protected]@vodafone.com; ; ?Cc: ; subject: [[protected]] please close my connection;
Hi sir/madam,

This request is to close my connection for number [protected]. I am done with all the payments for last and current cycle. Please consider this as my last payment and close the connection asap.

Steps followed:

I had called your customer care and followed the process they ask for as detailed below:

- pay all your due and current bill.

- mail to corpcare.[protected]@vodafone.com

Please reply back to me once done. Thanks for all your support and help.

Even doing so, my number was not disconnected and now you are asking me to pay another amount. I got several mails from vodafone team to which i replied with same details and no reply from them. And now i get a legal notice, this is very very disappointing from such a company. I would highly/strongly recommend to not go for vodafone network in bangalore with all this mess they do with their valued customer, not professional at all.

Thanks
Mandar shinde

Worst and unreliable customer support.

I am from Mumbai. I have a Vodafone postpaid number . Few days ago I was supposed to travel abroad . So I looked up online n it suggested a plan for 599/- which said I would be charged 30rs per mb for Internet . As I reached there . I used my phone fr hardly 3 minutes to use whatsapp. N switched it off. I kept on receiving emails on my bill. N it was increasing day after day even after not using it . As I came back to India my put going services were discarded and my bill was 17000 rs.
I complained at least 50 times to 50 different people n outlets . They tell me they ll help me but there's no help. My bill is increasing every month . N they r not ready to help n my services are barred . I feel cheated n I need help

I am getting continues missed call from [protected]. Kindly block all calls & messages from this no. to my no. My no. is [protected].
If possible take strict action.

Value Added Services Cheating
Dear Sir,
I am a customer of Vodafone with number #[protected]. On receiving the bill during the month of March, Vodafone has charged me for Value Added Services at 90 Rs each for a total of 180 Rs. They said that it was activated on 19th Feb and 23rd Feb but I had not subscribed to any such service.
On receipt of the Bill on the 9th of March I called the customer care and they reversed one of the amounts totaling 90 Rs since they also agreed that I may not have done it. On receiving the bill in the month of April, again Vodafone has charged me for the same Value Added Services of 90 each totaling 180 Rs. On calling the customer care they said that it was a monthly service and since I called in the middle of the bill cycle the would charge for the whole month.
There are two cases of cheating here;
• Charging for Value Added Services with no consent from the customer nor any proof of the same.
• Charging again for the next month stating that the billing cycle had started. The only I could make out that VAS was activated was through the bill, on the receipt of the which I called customer care. If Vodafone charges me again based on this it is cheating someone twice using the same reason. It is like stabbing the customer in the back with the same knife twice.

I request you to take strict action against Vodafone as not every customer may be financially well off or educated enough to bear these charges and refute the same.

I have ported my mob no no [protected] from idea to vodafone and cleared the outstanding amount of 1004. I have done all the documents formalities and submitted to vodafone store as well as mail. But still they have deactivate my mobile no.

I had been using vodafone postpaid cug connection [protected] in which i used to get a rental discount of rs.100/-. First they activated ridiculous vas like super model service, gao bajao service etc. In my number and asking me to pay for it. Then they withdrew the rental discount of rs.100/- without any prior intimation. I sent them an email to stop the connection w.E.F 31/03/2016 still they waited for 4 days and stopped it on 04/04/2016.They are calling me to pay for the entire fraudulent bill amount. I have paid for the usage bill amount but i will not pay for the vas under any circumstances.

Good day.
My name is Nelson palani.I wish to put on records the treatment I received and the disgusting experience I am having on entering the Vodafone chembur store.on 25th February 2016 I acame to the store to buy a wi fi dongle and extra internet time package as I was In need of the same during the oard exams time for my children . the lady took down my details and did the process at the payment counter I was told that they do not accept debit or credit cards to which I had to walk around the area to find the atm and make the payment.i was told by the person that it will take 3 to 4 hours for activaton
After verification. Hence I was calling up for verification after 4 hours. but each time I called I got the reply that my request was not processed by the store. I must have called at least 15 times after every hour but each time I got the same answer.
Next day I visited the store the lady who filled my form took me to the first counter where another lady was at desk and she went to check at the counter regarding the status of my request in the mean time the lady at the desk started questioning me all over again wanting to see my photo etc. when I told her that the lady at the counter knows the details she had the audacity to reply back saying then you speak to her and my ac opening papers which the lady who filled my form had kept at her desk was pushed aside in anger by her in the mean time another gentleman customer came and occupied the seat in front of her she started communicating with him when I told this lady that she will be responsible if any of my documents were lost from her desk as the man also had put his papers there she back answered saying that why did I keep it at her counter when I told her that it was her colleague who had left it with her she loudly called out to her to take the papers as though she was the boss of the store and care a damn for the customer such behavior is shamefull.
I asked the lady who filled my form is there a manager of the store she called one mr Sandeepwho said he was not the manager but was stepping in for the person temporarily. when I told him my concern he gave me the answer that there is some issues on verification which will get resolved immediately however he asked me more 24 hours time. He offered me a usb drive with 2 gb to use temporaily free of cost but when I told him that 2 gb is not sufficient and I had purchased additional time worth 1800 appx he seemed to be helpless.
When I asked for the number of the store he said that they don’t give the no to the customer he gave me his cell no as I said I cant keep coming to the store again and again. When I reached home and tried using the usb provided by Sandeep there was frequent disconnections hence we couldn’t use it.
As soon as I reached home I received a sms Vodafone care saying that my number was ready for tele verification when I called them the same saga continued that my adhar card proof was not updated by the store so I told them why don’t you speak to the store directly and raise my concern they said they cannot do that as they are not in contact with them and donot have their numbers or emails I wondered how do these guys communicate perhaps telepathy.
After a couple of days I had no choice but to revisit the store .in the store when I entered I couldn’t find Sandeep bcos by this time he had started to avoid my calls I asked for Sandeep I asked one staff member where is Sandeep one said he had not come to work today and had not seen him the other one said that it was his weekly day off and the lady who filled my form did not extend any help either so I called Sandeep a couple of times he was not answering the phone. Then again I asked a fourth staff member he innocently told me that he was upstairs in their back office so I demanded to be taken to the back office or Sandeep must come down after calling him after many times he was forced to come down to see me its fascinating the team work the store has to keep saying lies give false promises and don’t deliver the goods.
When I returned the usb and requested for a refund I was told that there is no refund policy by the company so I said you have failed to provide the goods I was told that the refund takes more than a week I was asked again to give more 24 hours .i demanded to speak to a higher authority or get the person a reluctant lady came and started arguing all over again .
I told them do what it takes and get me a full refund to which I was told that the talk time could be transferred to any of my family members or friends number.i offered to give my bank details so that you could make a online transfer but it was refused by the lady. She was making frantic calls to people to get permission and told me that she needs approval from corporate office which is unbelievable
I demanded cash saying that when you opened my account you demanded cash and I see there is enough cash to refund me she denied so at last she said she can give a cheque but I will have to wait for a week I agreed.
After a few days I received a call from one of your offices saying that they will issue me two cheques and verified my name I thought the issue is resolved finally
After a couple of days I called Sandeep again to check when I can come to the store to collect my cheque.
He surprised me by saying that they will provide me refund by cash but he still needs to confirm however I have not heard from him again .yesterday I called him again to check on the same he said he will call back in two minutes which he has not done yet when I told him I had sent you a sms regarding the same he asked for my mobile no all over again .
This is what Vodafone is all about just waiting to swallow peoples hard earned money and full of lies and corruption you must change your tag line from HAPPY TO HELP TO HAPPY TO HARRAS.
So its six weeks now that Vodafone is not trying to refund my money.
And the pathetic state of operation and administration at this store is evident of the company standards its disgracefull to say the least.
Nelson palani.

Two months before i have ported my conmection from Idea to Vodafone. Now they are telling i have an unbiled amount and without giving proper information they have barred my number. I called the customer care for details but they are behaving very badly. Now my connection is with Vodafone so they have the responsibility for this issue. Today we are celeberating a festival called Vishu all over Kerala . Infact im very unhappily saying that...
