  5. Hello Satish,

    We’d like to inform you that the d2c_mgossip_pack49 was activated on your number via WAP service which was downloaded on 11/02/14. Also, charges of Rs.49 which were levied in your invoice dated 27/02/14 are correct and valid. However, we are processing an adjustment of Rs.49 plus services towards the same as a service gesture and the same will be reflecting in your forthcoming invoice dated 27/03/14.

    I have been charged Rs. 49 for Downloads “d2c_mgossip_pack49 for this month (April) where as no such download has been made.
    So, i have looked upon all my past bill and found that the folowing charges have also been made:
    In January ’14 for Downloads “animation_download” Rs. 15
    And In November ’13 for Downloads “shotformat_dwnlp_9” Rs. 99 & “handygo_javagame_1” Rs. 10

    I have been charged 4 times (49+99+10+15=173) for download till now and no such downloads have been made.
    Please reverse these charges as soon as possible.

    Hi Vodafone Team

    The call was just an eye wash, u tell that Vodafone has no details of the download for which I have been charged 49 hard earned money, neitherVodafone can give the website from where the download has happened this is a well planned fraud which Vodafone is doing taking into account TRAI’s loopholes in implementing stricter rules for charging customer for download done through 3rd party websites.
    I feel we all effected Vodafone subscribers should join hands and approach the telecom ministry to to highlight this theft put an end to this frauds. Please respond my fellow friends who are are willing to rise voice and put an end to this.

    My postpaid Mobile no. – 8411859900
    Received today my Bill for the May. 14′ month .

    Following is the repeated issue I have since last few months . I hope Vodafone will take this issue seriously and take all preventive/corrective actions.
    **Since last 2-3 months, I am being charged for downloading something which I haven’t . I have subscribed for a unlimited data plan.
    Last month I spoke to customer care and wrote to them on the same issue.
    Again in May 14′ Bill, I am seeing this issue ..this time it’s mentioned that I have downloaded “wapvilla_ppd” and “handygo_javagame_1” for which I am charged Rs 59/- — What is this ??

    Also , check the Rentals which is charged to me for Voice plan– I have been charged twice the same Rental amount 99 . Once for entire month and again for pro-rata basis.

  37. Hi Arunava,

    We will get back to you in sometime as there was no response when we called on your numbers 8***8****7 and 9***3****0 at 5.24 pm.

    Still I haven’t received any response on why I have been charged in June14′ Bill, for a download “wapvilla_ppd” and “handygo_javagame_1″ which I haven’t done.
    Similar charges have been levied in my earlier months Bill also. When I asked what are these charges, Customer Care just says that these downloads are from premium sites without any further satisfactory details.
    Can Vodafone comment on this Issue and come clear on such unethical/fraud practice of cheating customers??

    this has happened on my prepaid number as well. i did not activate any plan on my vodafone number 9999293952. but still it shows a deduction of rs 15 that i have activated any mgossip plan or something. when i called the customer care executive they kept on arguing that I had activated the plan. damn! if i would have activated it. why would i argue for that thing. seriously shame on the way you train your executives. SHAME !!!

  41. Team, I have got my bill and it has the following in Downloads section, “30/06/14-20:41:38 handygo_javagame_1 0:00 10”, Can I know what this is ?

    Hello,

    I am an corporate customer of Vodafone and I have a dispute on my last generated bill date from 03.06.14 to 02.07014, there is a charge of Rs 198.00 (99+99) under shotformat_dwnlp_9 on the date 01/06/14 and 11/06/14 which is not genuine according to me.

    According to the generated bill its show that I did some downloading but on the other hand its shows 0.00 usages in KB which is not good.

Vodafone not able to give any satisfactory answer about downloads.

    you guys are making a fool of your customers, what do you think that we have plenty of time for you guys to do mail and call each and every day to hear same kind of a reply that I have been charged for some item under shotformat_dwnlp_9 why you people don’t understand that I want to know that if I had downloaded something which had charged to me Rs 99 twice and it is in 0.00 KB according to the bill which I got from your billing department then provide me the details that what was that stuff.

    And it is very well know to every one if any company is providing service to there customer then he also have the recorder for the same. but on the other hand customer care of the company like vodafone gives a reply that they cant be able to give the details as they don’t have only he can say that you have download some thing which is fine according to them and they force to pay the full amount.

    This is my question to Vodafone – why you customer care person is forcing me to pay the bill if he cant be able to provide me the detail of my bill and how he can say that it is genuine according to him can if he don’t have full details of my bill account,
    If you want I can give you the name of that Vodafone customer care executive.

    Really this is a physically and mentally harassment for any person.

    I am totally disappointed with the communication and the reply which I got-on mails and on calls.

    and from now onward I want to discontinue my services with Vodafone.

    I think that we should have to stop using Vodafone services. Because from last 12 days I am taking and doing a mail to Corporate Care but they guys are such a useless people that they cant be able to tell me the details of my number for which I am paying I want to know that what I had download or visited under the shotformat_dwnlp_9 on 1/06/14-15:01:12 and 11/06/14-15:31:01 which is showing 0.00 KB in Duration column. but this stupid people not been able to tell me that for what I had been charged 99 two time on a same bill..

    They are just saying that I had downloaded something for which I had been charged and forcing me to pay the bill.

    But you vodafone people cant be able to tell me why I have been charged then they also dont have a legal right to force me to pay that fake amount.

    Even I will discontinue using vodafone services which is not getting worst day by day because of such stupid guys who dont understand the problems of there customers.

    I am getting mail and calls form vodafone only to say that pay your bill not to resolve my problem..

    Vodafone is just here to earn money not to provide services to there customers.

    I am also suffering due to Vodafone overcharging for some unknown download charges. Vodofone corpcare continue to say that those are valid charges and customer is not even aware about those download packs. I think this is alternative way to gain the money and maintain their margins.
    I have been loyal to Vodafone from last 6-7 years and never complained about the billing and other charges. It is first time I raised the valid and genuine concern for some unreasonable download charges and they are not at listening to the voice of customer. You can clearly see below stated download activity has been reported on the night of 15/06 and no one was using the phone that time. Infact, I don’t even know what are those charges for.

    Several time I had cleared to you guys that can reach me on my other number that is 9911773358 and also I did a post for the same 1 day ago… But I don’t know why you people are doing a call on that number where you can’t be able to reach me ..that Vodafone number is under my ID but my mother is using that….so you have to call me on my no that is 9911773358.. Hope so that this time it would be more clear to you people… Or on clear words don’t dial 971*****81 this number to reach me… Dial 9911773358 this is my number.

    Hi, vodafone has cheated me.. I dint download anthing shortformat_downlp9 and animation_ something….vodafone charged me 114 rp…its a fraud by voda….I never downloaded such things….

  74. Vodafone overcharging for some unknown download charges which the application my phone never support and Vodofone executive saying that those are valid charges and am not aware about those download packs.
    Am using vodafone corporate connection since 3 years and never complained about the billing and other charges. It is first time I raised the valid and genuine concern for some unreasonable download charges and they are not at listening. below the list of downloads which i never see in my phone. and the worst part is iphone never support these application and vodafone saying that am using these application and its valid.

    i guess its better time to get out off Vodafone to loose money in future.

    am reachable 9916694555 incase you need more clarification.

    19/06/14-20:54:16 shotformat_dwnlp_ Rs 99
    20/06/14-04:49:58 handygo_javagame_1 Rs 10
    27/06/14-09:20:35 d2c_mgossip_pack Rs 49

    19/07/14-14:55:27 animation_download 0:00 1 5RS

    for me a total of 114 rs . Vodafone is cheating in bills . Is there any way to file a case guys ? > we are paying then this company should be honest . its like a robbery .

    Again in bill of July I have been charged Rs. 193 for download. Details are as:
    Wapvilla_ppd Rs 49
    Animation_download Rs.15
    Shotformat_dwnlp_9 Rs. 99
    Nandygo_javagames_3 Rs. 30
    And all these files as size as 0kb. So how I have been charged?
    Its too much. In every month Vodafone charges me. If asked to customer care they are not able to answer.
    Guys , Vodafone surely makes fraud in billing. I keep on chacking my unbill amount and till 5th of august my unbilled amount is only Rs. 356.60. And if I consider tax of Rs.60 then also my bill should reach Rs. 426.60 but I received bill of Rs.559. This is too much. I am sure that Vodafone add download charges before generation of bill and makes fraud in that.
    Don’t use Vodafone at least postpaid service at all. I have suffered very badly from Vodafone.

  79. The worst response=Vodafone….Shame….seriously ….I’ve been charged 207rs for some crap download which I haven’t done…n by reading all response I feel vodafone should give me back my money which has been stolen STOLEN STOLEN…thief …Fraud…

    Hi Vishal Neel,

    Thanks for answering my one query,dont you think Vodafone should have informed me about this special gesture and informed me about it.Anyways you have waived it off in a gesture which was not my mistake at all because the reply which I have received from your officer over this waiver they have confirmed that they will prevent it from happening this issue again and I am also not in a position to accept explanation for special gesture which is not my mistake.

    Apart from below please let me know your thoughts/explanation on below points. And you have again charged me for downloading charges in recent bill…. If it comes to pay then I am only going to pay all charges except downloading..

    1)) Who has given you authority to collect/charged money on behalf of mydala or any other coupon provider companies ? If I have given my consent while subscribing to vodafone please let me know the terms and conditions if any ?

    2) If I read the downloading content it shows 0KB usage why so ? If you think it has been initiated from my phone then there should be some size for it right ? I am given 1 GB data as per the plan and If I download something from watsupp or youtube then that 1GB pack of data should reduced and its paid site they should ask me payment details by gateway for debit card or credit card. ?

    3) if you think I have downloaded this coupons then please tell me where should I find them they are not there in my download folder selected for parking the downloaded contents from the web ?

  90. one of my known person in delhi is using a postpaid plan that has a monthly rental of rs. 99/- when i asked vodafone executive to activate that plan on my number. they say that plan is not for delhi ncr circle but the person who uses that plan is in delhi and his number ius also a part of delhi ncr circle.. seriously guys…. fraud fraud fraud… vodafone just earns money fakely

    Hi , I am a Vodafone customer from Pune region. I have also been charged 99 Rs for shotformat_dwnlp_9 in my bill for month of July. Even though i have not downloaded any new app or software or did any online shopping for any item via my mobile.
    I wrote multiple times to corpcare.mah but they have only 1 pre-composed reply. we cannot provide any information or we cannot pass any credit. I tried explaining them multiple times via mail but to no avail.
    This is ridiculous as i paying customer for last 2 years i have always paid my bills on time and in the end what a paying customer gets from Vodafone support- unprofessional attitude, poor responses and unethical business practices (charging so many people for same thing) and to top it Vodafone support don’t even provide any details what are these charges and why they have been levied? As paying customer i have the right to know what i am being charged for.
    Please look into the issue and resolve it otherwise i would have no option to but to port out my all postpaid Vodafone connections to some other vendor and advice my known people to do the same.

  94. So Dear Vodafone,
    Did you find my questions difficult to answer as you have not replied or did not called me yet,whatever it is do not forget you are obligated to answer those queries.

    When i said this they say the website is charging, if website is charging i have to pay to the website by a payment gateway but y vodafone is charging.
    Moreover, in itemized bill there is no time punch for my browsing and no units is shown then y no other details is available as how much downloaded etc
    No system to register a complaint for this. I need a clarrification and my account have to be rectified or else i will close all my corporate connection in my project

I have been using vodafone from 2 yrs around and and never had issues , I am using 3G data plan, and recently i have seen that i am being charged for the contents which i have never downloaded (100% sure). Every month they keep on adding those charges. This month (Aug 2014), i have been charged 297 for the same, and the details are as below: 11/08/14-18:09:01 wapvilla_ppd 0:00 49 46 21/08/14-18:19:17 hello1_tvallsouth_ 0:00 99 46 22/08/14-18:04:10 wapvilla_ppd 0:00 49 46 26/08/14-10:14:51 hungama.com_value_ 0:00 50 46 02/09/14-23:55:01 hungama.com_value_ 0:00 50 When contacted vodafone, i get answer that i have downloaded them, but i dont even know what are these websites and cannot provide any kind of details… I even saw many complaints with vodafone on different forums , but i dont think any action have been taken. Let me know if this amount if 297 will ne reverted back to me, or else I will have to raise the same to higher management. This cheating will not be acceptable. Anshika Goe

    Yes i missed a call by you at 14.32 but i didnt receive call at other time you specified. You can call me tomorrow between 12pm to 1 pm if possible.
    Frustrated with the mail i received, reply below

    “Please be informed before downloading the respective service, confirmation was done thru sms.”

    and no sms is listed in the itemized and in my mobile history as well. You cant say how much i downloaded as well… but u can charge what a setup

    However i made up my mind that i will move to other network after 15 Oct since by that time only at my 90 day after MNP is getting over.

    fraud in postpaid monthly bill by Vodafone for ‘hello1_tvallsouth_’ for consecutive months

    My mobile number is 7875678173. I could see current month Sept 2014 and previous Aug 2014.
    I have been charged for hello1_tvallsouth_ 30. Only Vodafone team and God can say what are these charges for.
    In my previous bill also Vodafone has charged me for the same i.e August_2014,
    though I submitted the payment for the same and later called Customer Care about the same, he suggested me to mail to corporate mail account for this,
    but they too didn’t gave a proper response on why these charges are for.
    so I am writing this complaint when I saw the same mistake for the 2nd time in consecutive bill.

    I wonder what’s this strategy of making money from customers.
    This is ridiculous and very inconvenient for customer. Please reimburse the money in current bill that is Sept 2014.

    Looking at this complain list make me feel I am not the only one being cheated by Vodafone. I was charged Rs. 49 for d2c_mgossip_pack49 three time in same month. Now if it is a monthly pack than how can I be charged three times for that.
    Also, I have not download this even once. I complain about this in my last bill. I was not sure about it that time so didn’t complain, but this time I am sure I have not downloaded anything.

    There is one more “deals_mydala_99” cost me Rs. 99, again I have not downloaded\activated this either.

    Can anyone help me, or I will have to port my number to other operator.

  114. Vodafone Download Charges Fraud.

    As I posted earlier VF first charged me this fake charges in June and they promised me that they will prevent it from happening again and in month of july Aug again they have charged me the same 0 KB download charges and regarding this issue I had almost exchanged 30/40 mails with all escalation levels right from cumstomer care to nodal officer and then to appeal officer.

    Dear Fellow Victims.

    Please take a note of below points they are based upon my experience.

    1) VF will not be convinced to waive off your charges but keep trying you may get waiver for first time and anyone of you get the waiver please unsubscribe asap coz they are going to cahrge you again and next time they will not entartain your request at all.

    2)If you send them mail then VF will try to explain you dos and donts or how to use internet from your mobile and believe that piece of advice is of no use and totally illogical.

    3)If you partial bill your services may stay alive and you will start getting calls for pending amount and some so called technical officer will talk to you and try to explain that you activated MYDALA and LIVE TV from your mobile hence these charges are levied correctly but if you ask details about your request to activate same then they will send you the logs which are not all relevant with these charges.

    4)If you ask them logical questions like why VF is charging for 3rd party site ? who has given them authority to manipulate and charge this in your bill ? why the size of download is 0KB ? what is VF live ? and why this kind of cahrges are being levied by VF only then trust me you are not going to get an single answer and nor the waiver.

    5)If you go through the VF website you will find all these fraud services pages (MYDALA etc) as they have tied up to cheat customers and getting unsubscribed from it is like big challenge as you cant do it on your own and VF will make sure that you will remain subscribed to it.

    6)Guys Please start reading your bill carefully VF has very safer approach to cheat customer they do it with very small amount initially and if this went unnoticed by you then they will take the advantage of this situation.

    7)Keeping you on hold and then dropping off the call,sending you messages like ‘tried to reach out to you and you were unreacheble’ and then sending mails like “as per our discussion’ we we never had is standard practice of VF escalation handling.No doubt I have never had any issues prior to I opted for 3G and subscribing to 3G turned out to be a biggest mistake and suffered lot.Now I have moved on the Airtel used it for 2 months but did not find these kind magical fraud charges so far.

    8)Guys we will have to raise our voice at broader level else these MNC cheaters will keep snatching your hard earned money.I have made up my mind to take this ahead and shall update you soon.

  115. To be continued.
    Below are the mails which I have received by VF you can read them and you only decide that are these people worth to handle our escalations who says we had enough conversation and asked us not send mail again.

    Last Mail to me by VF.

    Hi Vishal Neel,
    Thanks for answering my one query,dont you think Vodafone should have informed me about this special gesture and informed me about it.Anyways you have waived it off in a gesture which was not my mistake at all because the reply which I have received from your officer over this waiver they have confirmed that they will prevent it from happening this issue again and I am also not in a position to accept explanation for special gesture which is not my mistake.
    Apart from below please let me know your thoughts/explanation on below points. And you have again charged me for downloading charges in recent bill…. If it comes to pay then I am only going to pay all charges except downloading..

    1)) Who has given you authority to collect/charged money on behalf of mydala or any other coupon provider companies ? If I have given my consent while subscribing to vodafone please let me know the terms and conditions if any ?
    2) If I read the downloading content it shows 0KB usage why so ? If you think it has been initiated from my phone then there should be some size for it right ? I am given 1 GB data as per the plan and If I download something from watsupp or youtube then that 1GB pack of data should reduced and its paid site they should ask me payment details by gateway for debit card or credit card. ?

    3) if you think I have downloaded this coupons then please tell me where should I find them they are not there in my download folder selected for parking the downloaded contents from the web ?

  116. And now something about your MYdala partner :

    Have tried several time to unsubscribe but never succeed to do so,
    First thing explain me Why I have been subscribed to Mydala by Vodafone without my permission,if I need to unsubscribe then I need to follow steps which are mentioned on below link and trust me it never worked it always says “Please try after some time” since this one is the expensive coupen provider so it must be always busy to unsubscribe user..Because if users are able to unsubscribe on their own you will be not able to get fraud business.

    https://www.vodafone.in/vas/pages/mydala.aspx

    And atleast for other messages for example (CAN MELA) vodafone says “your request has been processed and to re-activate the service sms mela to 111”).I dont understand that when I have never activated such kind of services on my number then where is these questions of re-activations are coming from it just Vodafones trap to cheat customer with non-existing coupons this is also intentionally activated by vodafone.

    I cannot believe even with all these complaints Vodafone is still looting consumers money with these things… i have again been charged for downloads which i have not done.. they have charged Rs 99 for shotformat_dwnlp_9 and Rs 15 for animation_download. The customer care response on this is very rude and they only say it has been a valid download charges and we might have clicked on some pop ups… do u think we who spend more than 20 hours a day on PC and Internet don’t have commonsense on which link to click and which to not? Its that’s the case why are such things not happening with other service providers… my friends who use other service provides have never got such charges…. stop fooling people… we are not illiterates….

  122. There is some unwanted pack (d2c_mgossip_pack49) activated on my mobile no 9673890900 for bill cycle (5-8-14 to 4-9-14) and I have been charged for INR 49/- for same. I have not requested for any pack activation and didn’t get any confirmation from vodafone side regarding the same so I request vodafone to kindly rectify the bill and revert the unwanted charges for the same.

    I got reply from vodafone on 19 Sep 2104 10:53 AM (Morning)

    We tried to call you on 19/09/2014 at 9:53pm, 10:17pm, but number found unanswered

    Hi
    Vodafone executive called me.
    He insists that I have downloaded it so Vodafone is not liable.
    He further said that to avoid incurring similar charged I should use Internet cautiously. Vodafone will not EVER block payments to these sites.
    Since I am an idiot and have no knowledge of using the internet, I have clicked on a payment-required link.
    Show me any other service provider whose user has been charged in this way.

    I think there is a nexus between these sites and Vodafone and it is one of the shady ways of earning money.
    Shame on you Vodafone

    This is disgusting, first of all Vodafone is charging customers for the downloads which they haven’t done,
    After following up with their executives it said that those are valid charges,
    and height of all that after a frustrating follow-up with their representatives, these guys told us to CHANGE THE NETWORK.
    Had this worst experience with a Vodafone care girl, she arrogantly told me to switch the network.

    Whatever it is I am only paying the bill for what I have used and not for the charges Vodafone has charged me.

  125. i dont know when u have called me, every time i iget these messages, my number is always working butif udont want to answer or any other reason than fine, nowi this months also if get fake downloaded charges i m just porting out, thats all, same like my current plan idea is offering me, there is no cheating like this 3rd party services like vodafone is doing, this now really sucks, thats all, i m goign to mail again to TRAI as i did previously, see this, still it is under process, again this fake download charges in my bill than see, now i have got proper hand for help, not vodafone for that false happy to help, TRAI and DOT emails i will send directly complaiunts without now mailing or wasting time herewith vodafone,

    Hi Vodafone,

    My Mobile No is 9811705760 and my name is Vivek Agarwal

    I am your customer for last 8 years, but recently I have realised that there has been some fraud in the form excess billing done to me since last November.

    I have 2 major issues with vodafone fraudulent billing:
    Firstly, my charges for 3G data pack was increased from 375 per month to 450 from March onwards. A 20% increase per month. However, this has been done without any prior consent from me. No approval or consent have been obtained and this has been done completely in an adhoc manner. In case of increase in charges aren’t you guys suppose to take specific approval from the customer. This is a fraudulent activity considering that only a handful of customers may end up realising and complaint about. From the rest, vodafone can make crores of rupees in revenue – A case of complete cheating and malpractice.
    Secondly, there has been a levy of something called a download charges since November 2013 onwards. I did some research and found that I am not only one facing this problem with Vodafone. There are hundred of customers who are facing this issue. I have been levied a total charge of ~Rs 260 since November 2013. I dont have details prior to that but I am sure such charges would have been on levied on those bill as well.
    Bill Date 11.12.13 – A charge of Rs. 10/-
    Bill Date 11.03.2014 – A charge of Rs. 49/-
    Bill Date 11.04.2014 – A charge of Rs. 49/-
    Bill Date 11.08.2014 – A charge of Rs. 49/-
    Bill Date 11.09.2014 – A charge of Rs. 99/-

    There is a clear trend in how you guys are cheating the customer. You start with small amount and gradually increase the amount and frequency. Your standard reply to this issue is that some datapack have been downloaded. What Data pack? Do you see any datapack activated on my phone. I am a frugal person in that sense and I will think 10 time before spending such frivolous charges. So please dont give me a standard reply of data pack being charged.

    Also, who is vodafone to make payment of my behalf to any third party, if at all. Are you my bank or credit service provider. Do you maintain a kitty for your customer to make payment of their behalf. Who gave you the authority. Vodafone should be chrging for the services that they have been providing that badwidth and internet charges.

    An 8 year old customer is wanting an immediate resolution of the above 2 issues. This is not the question of small amount but a question of malpractice and fraud and a case of cheating.

    I look forward to your immediate revert and resolution. Only after will I decide the future course of action.

    P.S. Please dont reply that we tried calling you but it went unanswered. Again a standard reply.

    Thank you

  129. Hello Vivek Agarwal,

    We were not able to reach you when we called 9****0***0 at 9:30 AM hence request you to specify the best time to contact you.

    Regards,
    Vodafone India.

  130. Hello Vivek Agarwal,

    We called 9****0***0 at 5:30 PM hence but there was no response hence request you to suggest a suitable time between 9 AM to 6 PM when we can contact you.

    Regards,
    Vodafone India.

  131. Seriously Vodafone sent fake bills me too and i was asked to customer care so they dont have particular answers. When i said I’m going to port my number coz of ur fake bills; so they rudely replied to go with any other network services.
    Now I port my number with Airtell and I’m very happy with the network with Airtell and I choosed my plan as per my uses. I got 800mins + 300 msgs + 100 STD mins + 1GB 3G Data plan only in Rs 399/-
    Guys think about it… You want to argue with them or what…

    Vodafone again sent me a mail stating that they have charged correctly blah blah…

    To which i wrote
    Let’s assume, I downloaded these services.
    1)I have not crossed my usage limit, then why dont these charges reflect on my internet usage?
    2) how am I directly charged for this without taking my consent?
    I am an advanced user of internet and hold an electronics engineering degree. I run a company.
    So stop acting smart in educating about these services.
    3) while downloading these services why is my credit card info not demanded or any other mode of payment never asked? Why is Vodafone paying on my behalf?
    4) why is there not a single service provider like idea, airtel, reliance to name a few, who are not demanding this?
    5) where is proof of downloads?
    However explicit or against your policies, please present me with proof to shut my mouth. Don’t give me official rubbish.

    I will raise my voice wherever I can against this fraud.
    Also soon switching to another service provider..

    see this, same usages, if i m fool or illiterate than whynot i had done mistakes as ur vodafone people have been saying me that i may have clicked some link, so far i m using same thing which i had from when i started 2G services, but now from last 3 months its worse now, going over head,
    well if vodafone people have tied up with the 3rd party services why not u informed the peoples who r using vodafone service, and why those are hidden, wedont need such 3rd party charges,

    Hello Jignesh

    Thanks for the detailed explanation.

    Vodafone , please answer these queries.

    I have already initiated process for portability to IDEA.
    I have gathered 15 no’s for this …lets show consumers are not fools ..

    Also Vodafone, employ some capable executives, not ones who read out or write standard templates while interacting.

    Hi Vodafone
    I have done that thrice and I got called twice and mailed thrice.
    The mail reads
    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Thank you for your e-mail dated 30/09/2014 regarding bill clarification for your Vodafone number 9890255081.

    With regard to your concern, we hereby reiterate that the amount of Rs. 197 towards the downloads has been correctly levied in the bill dated 14/09/2014, as the contents download has been initiated from your Vodafone number from premium downloading site (Social Media, Gaming etc.).

    The content download also includes, subscription to games, online video streaming etc.

    We confirm that for the security reasons, we would not be in a position to provide the browsed details (webpages browsed and content downloaded). The details of the GPRS usage that are available with us are correct and have been provided to you in your bills.

    We also confirm that, the downloading done from premium website is not considered under the data pack benefit active on your Vodafone number.

    Going forward, in order to avoid the download charges on your Vodafone number, we request you to use the GPRS services cautiously and avoid clicking on the links and advertisements available on the websites.

    As these are genuine charges towards the downloads done at your end, we would not be in a position to pass any credit towards the same.

    In case you need further assistance, do call or e-mail us. We will do our best to help you.

    I am tired of these replies.
    Please answer all questions raised by
    Jignesh.
    You are cheating loyal customers.
    I won’t be surprised when most of them will leave Vodafone and embrace some other provider.
    Shame on you Vodafone

    My vodafone postpaid no. is 9730996601
    every month vodafone charged me rs.99 for shotformat_downlp_9 . I dont kno what is it and how it activated on my no. and the worse thing is that nobody have satisfactory explanation for this.
    VODAFONE HAVE A DIFFERENT STANDARD, SUCH VULGAR CHARGES GET ME SHAME BEING VODAFONE USER. it is better to get ported than pay for nothing.

  143. Hello,

    I am an corporate customer of Vodafone on cell no 9711069881 with the registered name of Vishal Chaddha and I have a dispute on my last generated bill date from 03.09.14 to 02.10.2014, there is a charge of Rs 30.00 for some stuff hello1_tvallsouth_ on the date 23/09/14 which is not genuine according to me.

    As per the generated bill its show that I did some downloading but on the other hand its shows 0.00 usages in KB which is not good, so I want that waver this amount from my current bill so that it would be helpful for me to pay my bill soon.

    My alternative mobile number is 9911773358 and the best number to reach me.

    Please do the needful.

  144. what ans will i get, every complaint i had made i got calls after 6.15 and all, is this kind of service, and than alos those who called me and answered me were very rash, didnt answer me properly and all, last call i got around sept where i got reversed my amount that person only spoke well, before that none cared to call, and one number i dint saw in my call list for missed calls also i got message that they are trying to call me, but i m not reachable,. wow nice excuse for not solving our problems or have any guts to answer us,

  145. Today in the morning around a time 10:05 AM I got a call from Vodafone care (Miss Shilpy) from the number +911171272522 regarding the waver of my amount for the number 9711069881.

    And I got the call on my alternative and best number to reach that is 9911773358, and she promised that vodafone will adjust the amount which I want to waver and I will get the confirmation call for that same with in an 1 hour but its 5 PM and till now I am waiting for the call or I thing that miss shilpy did a fake commitment to me or in a same manner vodafone do fake with there customer.

    Vodafone Number: 9999802466
    Alternate Number: 7387700371

    I have been charged Rs. 455.00 for Downloads below application for this month (Bill Date 24th Nov 2014) where as no such download has been made.
    d2c_mobila***,
    deals_myda**,
    d2c_ast_walpa***
    games_downloa***
    wapvill***,
    hungama.com_v***
    hello1_tvalls****
    So, i have looked upon all my past bill and found that the following charges have also been made:
    In Oct ’14 Bill for Downloads charges 175.00

    I have been charged 2 times (175+455=630) plus service tax for download till now and no such downloads have been made.

    I have asked customer care about this but they are not able to answer they only said that you have downloaded from paid site.

    I have asked is any service activated on my number they said no, not any service is activated. So tell me what type of files are this? How much size of this files are? From which site this files are get downloaded? Please be logical and I really got HURT by Vodafone. If you can’t be reliable with your customer at-least those sincere one… then how can we trust on Vodafone and be with it
    Please reverse these charges as soon as possible.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Manoj Kumar

    Hi,

    My Vodafone number is 9910445206. I have been charged Rs 460.00 for the downloading charges this month and same has happened in the last few months. The customer support has no answer to it and Vodafone is continuousally charing me for these Downloads like hello_tv1 south and shotformat_dwnlp_9 which have never been initiated by me.

    Hi,

    My Vodafone number is 8550942828. I have been charged Rs 649.00 for the downloading charges this month and same has happened in the last few months.
    Below are downloads which are mentioned in my itemized bill.

    d2c_mgossip_pack49 : 49/-
    wapvilla_ppd : 49/-
    deal_mydala_99 : 99/-
    d2c_ndtv_valuepack_9: 99/-
    hello1_tvallsouth_ : 30/-
    d2c_mgossip_pack49 : 49/-
    wapvilla_ppd : 49/-
    sf_tinytvw_w_77 : 77/-
    wapvilla_ppd : 99/-
    d2c_mgossip_pack49 : 49/-

    I have called to customer care they only said that you have downloaded from paid site.I am pretty sure I haven’t done any of these downloads.
    Is this some kind of fraud Vodafone is doing in bill as many people don’t even look at itemized bill.
    I saw lot of complaints regarding this at https://consumerforums.in . I am expecting Vodafone to revert back on this and looking at root cause & addressing it.

    I have fed up from the vodafone.
    Second they also don’t behave well.

    This month i again got a 99Rs charged for a d2c_shotformats_ti
    which i explicitly know NOT having downloaded.
    Since there should be a confirmation before such payments, whether i need to pay.

    Vodafone is fleecing my money…
    High time now to switch to other networks, and i am taking 10 numbers with me to be shifted

    Hello

    I finally got refunded by vodafone, the entire fraudulent amount they took away from me.
    This was after i requested a port of my services.They came begging after me not to switch.They refunded the amount without conditions
    And i shifted to IDEA n/w which offers better plans than vodafone.

    Jaago grahak jaago 🙂
