Vodafone India — sim activation

Address:

122002

My mobile number +91 [protected], registered under vodafone maharashtra suddenly stopped working on 30th of september. I was using this number in gurgaon, haryana since 1 year. When i contacted vodafone store on m. G. Road, gurgaon they told me the sim needed to be replaced. They took 1 week to bring the sim from maharashtra, which was fine. Later, when i got the sim, they filled up a form for me and told me that the sim would be activated in 48 hours. When the sim wasn't activated even after 72 hours, i called maharashtra customer care and they told me there was a mismatch in the simex number so the request was rejected. I went to the same store again. They did not accept their mistake, but refilled the form for me and said that the number would be definitely activated within 24 hours. The number still did not get activated. I can only visit the vodafone store on weekends as their limited timings make it impossible for me to go on working days. However, on weekends, the people from store always tell me that it would be activated on a weekday after some stupid approval. Whenever i call vodafone maharashtra customer care, they tell me that the number is active but my phone never detects it. I have tried inserting the sim on other mobiles and it still does not get detected. I have also tried selecting mobile network manually from settings and even that does not help. It is now 11th of october and my number is still not working. I have had this contact number since 4 years and i depend on it very much. Please help me get my sim activated!
