My last unbilled amount was Rs17000(as vodafone bills gprs at standard voda live charges and then gives a discount). Now, my billed amount is showing 800 bucks. Neither i'm able to check my bill details, nor call up 198(they have me barred, and i havent made a single call to 198 in 2012). Every call lands to the prepaid department, and they're just lame ducks.<br /><br />Last year, i had activated the same, and got a whopping 1400 bucks, when i was promised i'd be charged 198. The nodal office gave me a discount of 400 something when the tax resulting due to misbilling was 200bucks, and that too after 25 days. Plus they charged 150 as late fees.<br /> I had to write to Martin Pieters(yup, Vodafone Essar CEO, poor guy must have felt bad consumers making him a CCE :P ) and only after that the matter was settled.<br /><br />Airtel, Reliance ADA and Idea cellular are also the same when it comes to misbilling and bad customer service(i've posted my experiences with them at my blog). More or less, all private telecos in India are kinda robbers. No wonder TRAI has to slog so much. There should be a seperate telecom/ITeS court. Its only MTNL and BSNL who; can be trusted.

I received a freaking internet usage of 39,045!! Yes, Kindly beware of their PRO-RATA usage of 3G Datacard. Thanks to Dad's links with Collection Agency head, I got saved. But It was one of the terrible terrible episodes. And they are bloody NOT HAPPY TO HELP!!Punditayeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814650891993622029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024210672199702325.post-69977246785707139102012-01-20T22:35:28.450+05:302012-01-20T22:35:28.450+05:30This is also the situation in Maldives ...

I used them for almost 3 years and I never got a chance to call up their customer care for anything except for enquiry of vouchers. to which as well i get a detailed satisfactory response. I would be soon migrating to MTNL again but just need to check if my office has enough good network for MTNL. In Hiranandan Powai, its hell with Cellular Networks. Imagine you getting full network in centre of floors and zero network on the windows!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024210672199702325.post-9569221878126908212012-01-06T01:26:26.789+05:302012-01-06T01:26:26.789+05:30With Tata Docomo it will be like being thrown from...With Tata Docomo it will be like being thrown from the frying pan to the fire.
