Updated by HemalKJ This is the response I get to my query. Repeatedly I've asked them where is the amount of Rs.1850 that was billed to me. They are still beating around the bush and twice have sent me emails regarding outstanding of last month's bill whose due date is 27th of this month.
They really want their customers to get frustrated with their dim-witted answers and lose all motivation to pursue their complaint.
Here are two of their emails just skirting the issue completely

I too have been subjected to Vodafone helpline high-handedness. Vodafone should change their punchline from "Happy to Help" to Happy to Harass".
I have since got another carrier as my main phone and have maintained the Vodafone no. only as a pre-paid back up phone. My monthly bill with Vodafone used to be Rs.3500, but now I only spend Rs.1500 on the other carrier with 3G including 5gb data. I have been a Vodafone customer since the Max Touch days and they really don't give a damn about how long a customer has been with them.
Vodafone has an attitude that the customer needs them more.
You should escalate your complaint and Vodafone are viable to give you an apology at the very least.
Cheers mate
