My postpaid mobile number belonging to Tamil Nadu was used by me for many years and when I retired in 2013 I converted it to prepaid. But when I went to USA in May 2015 I converted it to postpaid as per the instructions of a Vodafone Store person and paid Rs. 500 to them and got receipt also. But when I came back from the US I found the number has been given to some one else. So I complained to Vodafone Store and then their Nodal Office in Chennai via e mail and they contacted me and said they will get my mobile number back to me and the lady who was in touch with me has suddenly stopped taking my calls and does not answer my calls to her from a number which I had given her as a temporary number of mine. I complained to their appellate authority in Chennai and they gave a docket number[protected] on 4-2-2016 and they said they will reply by 8-2-2016 but so far no reply as on[protected]. When I call them their number keeps saying it is busy, busy always so it is of no use. Hence this complaint in the complaint form to complaint about this issue. I hope Vodafone India CHennai guys will take note of this and resolve this quickly.

Complaint marked as Resolved This complaint was taken up by me at Appellate Authority level and followed up by many e mails and phone calls and finally one person in AA office of Vodafone Chennai followed it up and finally resolved it for me. I got my number back. They contacted the guy to whom the number was given wrongly by Vodafone and requested him to surrender the number and after some persuation he appears to have agreed and he was given another number to his liking. So I was given my number back. For the sake of confidentiality I am not giving the number in this forum. I thank Vodafone for resolving this but the process tested my patience a lot and some people in Vodafone were not helpful at all and their behaviour though polite was frustrating and unhelpful and I hope Vodafone takes this as a feedback and correct such individuals. It took nearly three months of regular followup with Store, Nodal Office and finally to Appellate Authority to get it done. Anyhow the fact that Vodafone accepted their mistake and helped me get the number back is good and shows some responsible behaviour on their part at least on the part of one individual. Thanks.
