Respected Sir,
I have decided to use Vodafone
internet 5 GB unlimited plan 850 (3G post-paid plan) for my personal projects and accordingly a new sim bearing no.
[protected] was activated on 04/12/2014.From the inception, I have started
facing problem using the connection from my Vodafone dongle (ZTE K-3770-Z).
First due delay in verification I am unable to use the connection for nearly
half of the month. After that during usage the new SIM has started showing
different RAS error codes (e.g. 630, 770 etc.). I have also noticed, most of the
time I am unable to use 3G network as it is connected to very slow 2G network.
In reality in our locality (10 minutes from Tollygunj Metro Station) signal strength of your internet network
is abysmally low causing frequent disconnection and changing from 3G to 2G
(HSUPA/EDGE) clearly shown in Vodafone Mobile Broadband software interface and
light on dongle changes from indigo/violet to green /red.
Despite repeated request you customer care and technical team pretended to show otherwise and tried to divert
me offering different tweaks without result. Sometimes they hanged the phone deliberately knowing the truth of their inability.
I have to use another prepaid Vodafone sim of mine bearing no. [protected] and paid more than Rs. 900 during that month to continue my work undisrupted though the connection speed was slow. Despite having an unlimited connection my use to another prepaid card clearly identified the underlying truth present in this scenario.
Due to fault in your part you have provided me a bill of Rs. 619.86 for the first month that also reached me
after the due date.
In the next month the problem got worsen and despite my repeated request no action was taken on your part making
the internet use almost impossible for me from that SIM. But this time you issued a bill of Rs. 954 to me without resolving my issue.
I have to look for other viable options for using internet. But when at the end of the month one of your customer care executive advised me to change the sim card ([protected]) as it seems to be defective for him.
Infuriated, I have decided to discontinue the useless connection till my problem was resolved and dropped my
connection by calling your customer helpline.
My ordeal entered into a new dimension as at the end of the next month I got an inflated bill of
1848.36(compounded) without using single MB of DATA. Frequent arguments with your customer executive did not solve my problem. Meanwhile I was unable to register and connect for the number in vodafone.in to check my account details.
But today, to my surprise my professional calling sim bearing no. [protected] (Enterprise Connection which I use for professional purpose )was suspended and when enquired, your esteemed customer desk insisted me to pay the due amount of 1848.36 of “Defunct No. [protected]” to get it reactivated. They also instructed
me to call to these numbers [protected]/[protected]/[protected] for available solution.
I have credit limit of Rs. 5000 for the “Defunct No. [protected]” as shown in the bill and the payment due has
not exceed the credit amount and even below to 40% of it. According to TRAI
Regulation “Services to the subscriber cannot be disrupted until and unless the credit limit fixed for a
subscriber is exceeded”. So you cannot even deactivate the SIM [protected].
Deactivation of another no. [protected] is not only illegal it also defies any logical sense of justice. Without redressing my grievance you cannot discontinue your service that is also for a number for which I have diligently complied your provisions and payments.
You are thereby inducing forcefully a customer to use and pay for a service which you are unable to
provide.
I would request you the do the needful as early as possible to activate my calling no. [protected] with immediate effect and try to improve the internet network and infrastructure without further harassing your valued customers.
Thanking you,
N.Somnath
Vodafone India customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
God only knows how they can give 500 credit limit for a 699 plan customer.
I don't want to increase The limit from my side bcoz it's their job to provide sufficient limit for 699plan.I don't know y they failed to do such a small things.
Please note all these minute things will impact on customer satisfaction.
I want to quote one sentence for vodafone:
"A satisfied customer gives more business By referring new customers "so concentrate more on customer satisfaction .they r zero in customer satisfaction levels nd I won't leave this issue until they provide service to customers.
