This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I had purchased a Sony Ericsson on Oct 2017, It is still within the warranty period. I had gone to the Sony Ericsson service centre in ACCEL (Greams Road, Chennai, TAMILNADU/INDIA) because my mobile was not getting switched on.

The technician whose name is Giri had no courtesy, his manners is absolutely rude and simply rejected saying that my phone had some liquid spilled on it. I asked him to show where, so he had opened the phone to display some rust and says Ericsson will not service unless i pay Rs300. I told him I would like to talk to his manager. The manager's name is Surayanarayanan and that fellow had gone some where else, looks like personnel work to me.

I had waited some time to see if he returned back, with no luck i had left.

These fellows Giri and Suranayaran are ruining the brand name in Chennai. I also found out that I was not the only person who's phone had been rejected, a couple of other customer's were cribbing about the service these fellows were offering. My phone is still within the warranty period and no body from Ericsson gives a damn. I think I will never ever buy another Sony Ericsson in Chennai and I would always advise my friends to refrain from buying the same.

These Sony Ericsson service fellows don’t even know to treat their customer with respect.

Hi, i have given a Sony Ericsson K550i for service in Venus telelinks in Marathalli Main rd,Blore.There was 2 issues in my 5 month old cell..one was heating and other was a big crack in the display without the cell ever been dropped. I gave it for service 2 weeks back and have not it back yet..when i call them up they say they dont have a stock of the display yet and keep asking for more...What i dont understand is a company like SONY have such a sad and unprofessional approach to service within warranty period...Best part is he has not provided a spare cellphone to use in the meanwhile claims that Sony does not provide a spare...I think this is the last cellphone i would purchase from SE...

RE: Warning to Philippine consumers don't buy Sony Ericsson cellphone products. Service center SEMICON don't have available parts. The company is not giving enough after sales service.

I agree..

And they don' advise that there is no parts yet. You would be left hanging with no idea. Useless you follow up. My phone have been with them for two weeks now.

VERY POOR AFTER SALES SERVICE.

Displeased consumer...

I bought a K530i 2 months back. It used get off on its own suddenly. I gave the phone to the service centre for four times for the same issue. Fourth time I asked them for a replacement for that phone as in 2 months I gave the phone four times to repair for the same issue. They kept the phone with them only for almost a month and gave me the same phone back. I was told that I am not getting any replacement you can take the phone or leave it. They said that they repaired it I informed them that its the fourth time I have given the phone for the same issue they said that we have fixed it, I asked them what if I face the same issue again they shamelessly answered that I can give the phone back to serviice station. Could you'll please help me on this...

I purchased W710i cell in September 2017. I have taken at Univercell, west of cord road, Bangalore. And now I am facing few problems. So I went to Sony Authorized Service Center which is at Malleswaram 1st cross, near ICICI atm, Bangalore. The mobile problems are like, low battery back up and some time unable to attend incoming calls, cant hear the incoming call ring tone when radio is on with loudspeaker and main thing is the outer rubber cover has come out.
When service person saw the problems they said that liquid has gone inside so no more warranty for other things. They refused to change cover and to fix other problems. And I think while giving my cell back they exchanged the battery. Now suddenly the battery back up is too less.

I want to know how that liquid problem includes other thing out of warranty period.
Please clear this issue soon. Y I should pay money again where defect is there in product. Whether those people are grabbing money or you people i dont know.

Hope I will get proper response from you soon.

Dear All,

I want to let you know and warn you not to buy Sony Ericsson Cellphones. I had bad experience with Sony Ericsson Service center. I submitted my Z555 to Solution technologies the service center of SEMICON for warranty claim because the LCD display is not functioning normally. But they told me that my unit will not be fixed yet because they don't have available parts related to the problem. I waited for more than a month still defective part not yet replaced. What the HELL is happening with your F/$%$#@@$#$g company why you don't have available parts. If that's the case that their company have no parts then why did they sell the FU%^&*$#@@%%%$g model unit. They think the customer will wait until unit is repaired and will endure for a long time? HELL NO!

SO EVERYBODY DON'T BUY SONY ERICCSON. I'm sure Sony Ericsson Philippines will have a decline in sales. So to Sony Ericsson Company byebye in advance coz you are going down.

Mr. Angry

I purchased SE W300i on October 20, 2017. It ran well for almost a year, but when I tried to turn the handset on the on September 30, 2017, it did not start. It screen was turning white and black.
I took the handset to the SE company repair center at Ripon Street, Calcutta. They book the handset giving me the memory card back and asked me to collect it in 3 days. No temporary mobile was given to me. My work/ job number was E32WK031007-08. When I called (033-[protected]) them on Oct 6, 2017 they told me that it would take a few days more and I should call them back later to check its status.
I have been keeping "checking status" since then.
The behavior of the service center people is really disappointing. There is some APARAJITA who hangs up the call at the middle of discussion. Sometimes they keep me on hold for almost 4-5 minutes. Sometimes they refer me to TANIA MITRA/ MOITRA, who is supposed to be handling my case, but unfortunately she is never "AT HER SEAT". Sometimes they ask me to call a different number, but none receives those calls.
When I deposited the phone at the service center, it was under warranty period - but it is not anymore. Though they have confirmed that I would not have to pay for the repair since it was "deposited" in warranty period, I seriously doubt their honesty. I will be absolutely helpless if they charge me some huge amount.
I am a student and it is not possible for me to travel to the repair center every now and then. Needless to mention that I am depending on my friends' telephones. W300i took all my savings for years and it is impossible to buy a new phone. There is also possibility of having the same problem with a new phone anyway.
I really need help. If anyone have any advise, please e-mail me at my brother's ID raktim_stat@yahoo.com.

I did a serive update on my W850i phone which i've owned for over 3 years, over the years i have collected between 10 - 15 games via Vodafone internet, plus photo of friends and family and music for walkman on phone. When i Turned on my mobile after update everything had been WIPED off my mobile.
I called Vodafone to find out what i could do, they then gave me Sony Ericsson direct number [protected].
I was then put threw to a rather rude man who refused to help in any way and just gave me there complaints address!
This isn't going to get back all the years of photos and memories!

All the money i have spend on games over the years either. He told me that this was Vodafones problem and they had to sent the games back to me. So i then called Vodafone who said that they cannot refund or put games back on my phone!

DO NOT EVER UPDATE YOUR PHONE USING THIS UPDATE SERIVE WITH SONY ERICSSON!

Sir,

I have purchased w580i on 14 Oct 2017, but after 8 months it had some problem in display, so I went to service center in Kota(Rajasthan) they kept it from June 2017 to almost for three moths .After getting it back the problem was still there .They changed the motherboard plate for two times and when I again went back they started giving me meaning less reasons and in that duration my warranty period had been over
Then I call to customer care so many times, but the result was same no hearing

I can't understand which type of service they provide, even they don't have qualified workers in service centers

Please tell me what action shall I take against Sony Ericsson, I am ready to take any action .They spoiled my time, money and because of frustration and I was not able to concentrate on my business

i have purchased sony ericsson F305 on 27/04/2017 and my phone got problem of hanging and my phone doesnt vibrate, so i went to service center in Indore.
Sony ericsson have only 1 service centers in Indore, there was huge crowd there about 40-50 persons were waiting for there number to get there complaints souted out. Sony has only sales service because at the time of sale they give u ur phone within a second but after sales service of sony ericsson is worst. All the persons there have to wait for atleast 3-5 hours for there number to submit there phone.Sony ericsson have many sales counter in indore about 10 -20 sales counter in indore but service center is only one. Every damn single person there was not satisfied with service provided by sony ericsson and every person was saying will not buy sony ericsson phone again in life..
AFTER SALES SERVICE OF SONY ERICSSON SUCKS...
I WILL NEVER BUY SONY ERICSSON PRODUCT AGAIN..

Even I too received same message to my cell. My option was Diplomatic Consignment Delivery and I was supposed to pay deliver charges. As soon as they arrived India, they called us and asked to pay 2lacs as tax in addition to the delivery charges. They asked us to deposit this money in their account. Please let me know how far it is true...

Some body is doing in the name of sony ericsson company. Sony Ericssion Comapny has to take care of this...

I Have purchased a Sony Ericsson W580i model on Dec 18 2017, It is still within the warranty period. I had gone to the Sony Ericsson service centre in ACCEL (Greams Road, Chennai, TAMILNADU/INDIA) because my mobile was not getting switched on and problem with battery.i asker for to change the battery.The technician whose name is karthik said that he will be abserved for 3 days.

After repaired my cell.it's working for 10days after that i am facing same problem. why don't u replace the battery.
i asked to people to replace the battery but they are not replaced the battery.what shoul i do...

My phone is still within the warranty period and no body from Ericsson gives a damn. I think I will never ever buy another Sony Ericsson in Chennai and I would always advise my friends to refrain from buying the same.

These Sony Ericsson service fellows don’t even know to treat their customer with respect.
