[Resolved]  Vodafone India — vas activation without consent

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka

An unscrupulous charge of inr 50 was deducted from my balance recently. When enquired with customer care, they told me it was a value added service, which i had given no consent to activate. I checked multiple channels (Vodafone app & 155223) and i do not see the deduction or details of the vas anywhere.

I did not receive any sms regarding the vas, its activation request, deduction or related.

The customer care representative would not give me any more details on the vas when asked. They had no other information apart from the name of the vas.

When asked on how to deactivate it, they shifted the blame and i was told to visit a local phone shop.

I want a refund for this charge done without my express permission.

Upon sending 'STOP' to 155223, I received an SMS saying there were no active subscription on my number, which seems contradictory.

Is the service that I didn't consent to, active or not? If active, where do I check the details of it?

Use #ViAutoVASActivation and tweet @vicustomercare. They debited 99rs for digivive activation for nexGenTv. They debited 45rs for 6T seconds VAS pack. They tells no issue. Better port out from Vodafone & Idea or VodafoneIdea
digivive activated, it says nextGenTv downloaded but i never did. On asking Digivive related vodafone says nothing. Digivive and vi are partners, you can see in below artice. 99rs debited on oct-09-2020.
