Neelava Choudhury filed complaint against Vodafone And Idea VI on Jan 29, 2022
I have been a vodafone idea customer for the last * years and I had a prepaid sim in my name, a month ago my sim stopped working so I went to a vodafone ministore(Sector *, near city center, Kolkata-******) that is near to me for replacement, instead of replacing my sim with existing prepaid sim they gave me a postpaid sim in my name without my permission.When I got a call for postpaid verification, I was stunned and I told the rep who called me that I never applied for any postpaid plan. Naturally my sim was suspended and I went back to vi store when questioned they said vodafone stopped prepaid services entirely(lie) and I have to pay *** every month for postpaid,but I really needed my phone number urgently for some bank related task so I gave in and paid them ***rs to start the line(extortion), I tried calling vodafone customer service many times but received no help,a complaint has been lodged but I have lost *** rs because vodafone incentivises their store executives only if they sell postpaid connection,which leads to them lying and using predatory sales tactics on customers.

Many thanks for your proactive approach and prompt action. This has accelerated and helped in resolving my issue.
