Vodafone / Prepaid Complaints - Activation of Caller Tune without request and deducting the balance!

Review all Vodafone / Prepaid complaints

Vodafone / Prepaid

Activation of Caller Tune without request and deducting the balance!
Complaint Rating:  88 % with 24 votes
Company information:
India
www.vodafone.co.in

I had called a friend, who had a caller tune. After disconnecting the line I received a msg from 56789 informing me that my caller tune has been activated. I immediately called the customer care of Vodafone, saying I don't want the caller tune and I've not requested for it. The customer care executive bluntly replied that I copied the caller tune by pressing a * button on my mobile (which I've not done), anyway first with the benefit of doubt I kept quite. And a balance of Rs. 45.00 was deducted from my account.

I called the same friends number after a week, but this time I've taken at most care not to press any buttons. As soon as I disconnected the line, the same msg from 56789. That my request for caller tune has been accepted and will be activated, again I have called customer care and complained but the same answer.

This shows that Vodafone is cheating people and taking away their prepaid balance on some pretext or the other. The customer care executive are not well trained, they do not use International morse codes like alpha, brovo, charlie for the alphabet. The customer care of Vodafone or Hutch is no customer care only it is customer looting and very rude customer care executives.

Yes I did faced the same kind of problem but in a slight different way. I completely agree with the above statement. I'm thinking to register a case against Vodafone in the consumer court beacuse I've all the evidence which is enough to gain the case in my favor.

I am facing similar problem on my postpaid vodafone card. I received SMS on 11 Nov 2007 saying that Caller Tunes has been activated on my number. The fact was that I never sent any request to activate caller tunes. Worse they charged Rs 30/- in my this months bill. I wrote to vodafone but they said that they can not deduct Rs. 30 now. I have asked them to show me the proof. Lets see...

Ah... Vodafone sucks on that issue... there's hardly any use complaining to those useless 'customer care' people... they've absolutely no clue about whats happening & they give the most ridiculous solutions... Caller tune problem is a huge issue that a lot of people are facing... We should find a solution to this day light robbery...

i agree with all of you guys..I'm also having the same problem with vodafone. I always recieve about 5-8 unsolicited, voice recorded, commercial calls from vodafone..after i reject the call i use to recieve a mess from vodafone saying this or that song has been added as my caller tune and this amount has been deducted from my balance... and when i complain to the cust care they say that i must have pressed some keys which i know i never did..i know that its daylight robbery by them... i'm just waiting for the right time to hit them back.. Vodafone sucks... they suck real bad...I'm shifting to Airtel for good and all my friends are too...
