    I am Pankaj Kumar Vodafone Postpaid Customer in Pune and same happened with me as well, they charged me Rs 49 for wapvilla_ppd and I don’t know why?
    Every time vodafone charged me more and more.
    My current plan is 1299 and my bill comes around 1500.
    So, I guess its better to switch to other network provider.

    My number is 9718939080 and plan E_Connect_375.

    In my current bill 28.5.14-27.6.14 generated on 28.06.14 Vodafone has charged me 79 Rs for Rs 49 for wapvilla_ppd and Rs 30 for hello1_tvallsouth_ I don’t have any idea what are these.
    I called customer care on 198 on 3rd July 2014 from my number, but the representative could not explain what are these applications and neither take my complaint.
    Vodafone is cheating people. Please take corrective measure immediately.

    wapvilla_ppd -Rs 49
    hello1_tcallsouth_ -Rs 30

    They have reverted my charges when I complained on the Corporate Care email after few emails and I told them that no way I will pay the charges and will move from Vodafone.

    But , in next month bill July 2014, the same charges are again.

    I was charged for Rs. 336 for the following downloads, which I never did:
    hello1_tvallsouth_
    wapvilla_ppd

    When I called and I told them there are lot of people who are complaining about this, the executive didn’t have any answer. I am writing to [email protected] to complain about this.

    Will keep you all posted.

    I am also having same problem…Vodafone charging me for a download at a premium rate without even knowing for purpose this is being charged….I believe Vodafone does not have any right to charge from customer, unless customer openly accepts such charges through consent…also it means that the Vodafone and the content guy who is doing such non-sense activities must be having underlying agreements for revenue share….These things we should bring to the notice of Government bodies and regulator for immediate arrest of such things…we should remove the licenses of such operators, who are looting the customers making customers ignorant….this is nothing but clear fraud by the operators..

    SAME THING HAPPENED WITHE ME ALSO.IT SEEMES THAT VODAFONE PEOPLE ARE IN THE PRACTICING OF CHARGING FOR SUCH SITES.
    MOREOVER THERE IS A BASIC QUESTION WHETHER THEY ARE HERE TO SELL THE PRODUCTS OF OTHER SERVICES OF SUCH COMPANIES?????. IF THEY ARE LICENCED TO CARRY SUCH OPERATIONS?

  11. Same with me. I am going to call them up , they might wave it off but still an issue as they have deliberately done this wasting time of wary consumers and money of hurried/ignorant consumers.

  12. They have reverted my charges when I
    complained on the Corporate Care email after
    few emails and I told them that no way I will
    pay the charges and will move from Vodafone.
    But , in next month bill 16oct 2014, the same
    charges are again. And this is third bill like this

    Again this month also, Vodafone charged with some download charges with Zero bytes download…earlier i complained and they are giviving a evasive response…agains this month also charged for something which i never authorised them to charge to my monthly bill….this is really rediculous….how come when TRAI is regulating these telecom companies, however, they are escaping the purview of TRAI and imposing unscrupulous charges to customers…..Someone has to initiate action against these operators by bringing out severe punishements.
