Vodafone — malpractice of balance deductions | |
Vodafone india on a regular basis has been involved in deducting balances from the customer's account. I have faced this in the past many times. I need to pen this down once in for all. I was in uk for early part of this year. My main balance was minimal as i was aware of hefty international roaming charges. Vodafone used to call me /text me on a regular basis to recharge with the international roaming pack. Since i was on a local network in the uk i did not pay attention to it. One day all of sudden i get survey message from vodafone and message read as "all texts are free". I went ahead replying for 3 messages. Boooom!!. It took no time for them to reduce my main balance account to negative 3 digits for latching onto there network and sending out messages (Remember in their message itself it was written "texts are free"). When i came back to india i recharged with 149 which went in vain since i cannot use their talktime unless i clear my main balance negative. I thought to give up on this and clear my main balance only as vodafone customer care as useless and apathetic as only they can be. Recently i recharged with rs 79 which includes 64 rs talktime and other benefits of data. I thought rs 64 would be deducted from my negative blance. Nope, rather they include this in secondary balance which can be a case i agree. My point is where they have informed about this in their website? If they haven't included in their own website, isn't it a case of misleading? Was this information helpful? | |
Vodafone India customer support has been notified about the posted complaint. Verified Support Aug 12, 2020 Vodafone India Customer Care's response Dear Customer, As per our records, It is a prepaid number which has balance of Rs-99.11 only hence you are unable to use service at IR location. For International Roaming monthly rental charges are Rs.99 for 30 days and for 7 roaming SMS (15Rs./SMS). It will charge whenever you latch on International Roaming. For that you need to keep your main balance above Rs.100 or you can activate an IR pack from any location via self-help mode (My Vodafone App, Vodafone website, USSD, SMS) refer the following link https://www.vodafone.in/discover/roaming/international-roaming-packs.
