Vodafone India Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir, I am P L Venkateswarlu, using Vodafone Postpaid connection with Number [protected] since 2nd October 2013. I have taken postpaid connection in 199 plan consists of 512mb of 2G data. I am using mobile data on my phone. Upto July month, they are charged correctly on my usage of talktime, sms and Mobile data usage also. From August -2015 month, they have charged Rs.1584 /-. In that bill, Rs 1182/- for mobile data usage and 200/- service charges and 199/- rental. Even though, I have 512MB data pack, they said that you are used upto 800MB. I asked clearily to Nodal officer "Mohan Krishna" about this. He gave reply as "Vodafone Mobile Connect, Vodafone live is a default service activated on all the Vodafone numbers without any rentals and will be charged 4Ps/10Kb for usage made." For your information, I didn't used that much of data usage. I checked clearily that if I use for 3-5 mins, they are charging more as equal to 3G data. For this, I have to pay the total amount on 12th sept 2015. So, I request you please do needful for this excess charges.

It has been 12 days since my application for for converting from prepaid to postpaid and ther is no update regarding this from any of the sides(store/help line). I have also faced problem with branch manager(Shailesh) from Vodafone store Thane2.

I was a vodafone loyalist until I stumbled upon a message that showed my vodafone bill exceeded by some 600Rs. I happened to check the inbox through my vodafone dongle and called up customer care. I was told that I have subscribed to VAS services. When I said I havent sunscribed to any of the services I was told I might have accidently clicked on to pop-ups and have got automatic subscription. I replied, " even if I try and believe you guys you are trying to say that I have clicked 3 pop ups and subscribed to more than 3 services?" ThenI was told the charges might be waived off to which I told them to take down my request for discontunuation of Vodafone Services. Thet agreed but Ididnt know they were waiting for another cycle and mynextBill was generatedand again there were 2 new charges.1- Subscription new VAS services.2-Check Bounce. And again some 700 odd extra was added to the bill. The whole point is all this while I was waiting someone to follow up with me on the discontinuation formalities to which I have also paid for but now I have decided that I wouldnt pay a single penny coz there has been no follow up. Vodafone only follows up for payments but they never follow up for re[censored]ion of dispute and they only wait for you toe enter nextbiling cycle. Vodafone - Worst Service- Pathetic Network- Super Pahetic Customer Support.

HI, I am Mayur Gaikwad bearing a connection with Vodafone [[protected]] since Dec 2014. I have a couple of issues in terms of the connection, first let me give you an overview of the complaint Earlier I was on a prepaid connection, once there was a vodafone drive in our company and they offered an exclusive corporate plan, many of my friends took it eg - [protected], Even I wanted it so I called the person who asked me to come to a diff location as their drive was over, I was ok but thought of calling Vodafone customer care to see if they can give me the same deal, so I called up customer care and was told that will be getting the same plan. I also gave the number of my friend who has the same plan and even I as assured that the same will happen, my documents were collected but I was not shown or given the document in which my plan details are there, I was supposed to get the allowances as mentioned below • Free local mins – 2000 • Free local SMS – 150 • Free National SMS – 150 • Free unlimited 3G Data – 1.5GB and unlimited on 2G after that My usage is definitely as per the allowances in this plan, however I was given an incorrect price plan and I was mis-sold. I realized that when I complained that the internet is running slow, I understood that I got incorrect plan, since then I spoke with at least 20 advisors and 5-6 managers on diff occasions, I also spoke with Nodal officer and still no good, I tried speaking with Process manager ‘Naushad Alam’, even he assured me to go to store and everything will be done. I went to the store and they asked me for the salary slip to make the changes which I was not carrying, so I went the other time and to my surprise they mentioned that their system is undergoing an upgrade and can be done post 20th July’15, I went after that and I was annoyed with the response that it cant be done from store and need to contact customer care, I must say thay you guys have a pathetic service and sync as I have tried to explore almost all the possibilities and did not get a solution. Lately when I went to the store and I was very much frustrated, I wanted a solution so I was not ready to leave at that time I was shown that I have signed on the document in which the price plan details are there, when I saw that I was shocked to see that someone has tried to duplicate my signature, which is a fraud done by this company and since the start I am paying a high amount and my usage is not more than the Price plan I mentioned above but still I am paying more than 650 every month and also at times I end up paying more than 1000 for using the same things that I will get in 499. I also spoke with one of the Managers when email for this was sent from the store, the person [Gaurav] was diplomatic and not helpful at all. My Complaints are as below • I Want my number to be activated with the price plan that I opted for [i have also attached screenshot for that] • I want to know in detail about what will be done about the fraud because of which I am a victim • I want the refunds for the extra amount that I have paid till now • If you are not In a position to fulfil any of the above request then you can give me the contact details for Offcom / Ombudsman or consumer court. As I want to file a complaint against the company Regards Mayur Gaikwad [protected] / [protected] [protected]@aol.com This was the mail sent on 27/08/15 and again on 01/09/15, got an acknowledgement that will get a reply in 2 days but no reply. Have also posted the same on Facebook page for Vodafone, they are just replying saying that we are unable to contact u whereas one of my 2 numbers is always on without any network issue. Kindly look into the matter as its very serious and frustrating for consumers to go thru all this hassle

I had been confirming my post paid plan details with the customer care And i was given the wrong details by him Due to which i am getting a huge sum to be paid for my bill When i re-confirmed the plan with another person next month i was said that the details give were wrong and he just apologized for the same This is misrepresentation in the eyes of law Im going to sue this company

I have ported my 2 numbers from Vodafone Mumbai to Vodafone Karnataka. Since then I am facing an issue with regards to network. Vodafone doesn't have 3G network in Karnataka (this is what they confirmed when I raised a complaint), hence they have tied up with Airtel. This was not informed to me while porting the number. Due to this user need to select the network manually in Network Settings. I am facing network issue, as every after half an hour or one hour, on my mobile it shows message ""Managed Roaming - Network with limited service found. Do you want to initiate a network search?"" and then select the network. Twice I got a message as ""No SIM"" however it was showing the network. I raised a complaint on 14th Aug & TAT was 7 days. On 7th day Vodafone provided me some settings but even after that I was facing same issue. When I called Vodafone call centre they said that they have closed the complaint, hence raised another complaint which again7 days TAT. During this period I spoke to around 30-40 people asking for the status (each time I had to explain the issue) CSR said that I have to wait for 7 days. On 7th day when I called Vodafone (as there was no response), CSR told me that the complaint was closed & another complaint was raised without any resolution. I have escalated the matter to Nodal & Appellate but there is no response from them as well, not even holding reply. Have marked TRAI Nodal officer on that. No one is responding to the complaint. People who are trying to reach me on my mobile are getting message ""Number is not reachable or switched off"". Even I tried calling from landline on my number, I got same response even though it was showing full network. Vodafone is not providing any solution & closing the complaint without resolution.

Vodafone has activated Mobile Mela Service without my consent and deducted Rs. 35. This is not a mistake of my side. Neither I requested nor I am interested about such services.Therefore I request you to take necessary step to credit my amount at the earliest. A photo of money deduction message has been attached. Thanks and regards AJAY ZORE, Pune, Maharashtra Mobile no [protected].

My balance was deducted by some some automatically socialbook service activation during normal net surfing. When asking refund to Vodafone, they denied refund and disconnected call and blocked customer care no. From my phone. Vodafone is a chor company which is stealing money from customers with no reasons. Shame on you Vodafone. I am going to port my no. Bye bye chor company. Consumer Sandeep Kumar [protected]

This complaint is for my cell no.[protected]. I had opted for the corporate monthly rental plan of 375 from 17 June that included unlimited internet at 3G peed 1GB and at reduced speed of 64kpbs post 1GB.

On receiving my first bill, i found that there was a charge of Rs. 97 for internet usage upto 11 July. upon complaining at corporate.[protected]@vodafone.in i got a call and a mail on 7th august requesting to pay the bill with excess charge and a credit of Rs 97 shall be provided in next bill.

Later i got a mail on 10th august stating that my plan is chargeable for usage beyond 1GB at 4p/10KB upto Rs. 650 and then shall be unlimited at reduced speed. This mail was sent to me on 10th august while the monthly cycle of 11 july to 10 august was already over and i had consumed more than 1 GB without knowing that usage beyond 1GB is chargable.

I received the next bill on 21 august with no credit of Rs 97 although guaranteed but also with Rs. 650 of additional charges.

Upon receiving this bill i've been raising complaints on corporate.[protected]@vodafone.in on 21 aug, 25 aug and 2 sept. Almost 2 weeks have past since my complaint on 21 aug but have received no revert until.

Whenever i call on customer support on 199 i am being told that vodafone had sent me mail on 10 aug explaining the plan. but those don't understand that the plan was explained on last day of bill cycle was already over and bill was already generated with excess charges.

These excess charges need to be reversed by Rs. 97 from bill dated 11 july and 650 from bill dated 11 aug.

I had done port out from vodafone 2.5 months ago from vodafone to idea but vodafone is regularly sending mebills and i have also informed them that i hav port out from vodafone and i have also visited vodafone store but my problem has not been resolved bot company are sending me bills
