VODAFONE scam

Hi all,

Just to give you heads up of what might happen to you if you use Vodafone Flexi Plan. I had been charged an amount of money on my credit card by Vodafone only to be ripped off by it. The amount was never credited to my account balance and when I called the call center, they assured me that it would be sorted within 48 hours.

Guess what, it's been 2 weeks since my card was charged and two 48 hours after the call with the center (with a follow-up call in between), and yet nothing... absolutely nothing.. has been solved.

I understand that it's a new network and may need more time to establish a smooth professional service, but at least don't assure customers something they cannot provide.

Please note that this is only ONE of the many unsolved problems that I'm currently facing. If I hadn't got this easy-to-remember number, I would have not gotten myself into this stressful situation. I'm doing everything in my power to keep this number while it seems Vodafone is not taking customers' complaints seriously.

C'mon Vodafone Qatar, you can do better than this. Don't ruin the image of VODAFONE worldwide.

Does anyone face any similar problems?

Thanks for your time,
S

My issue has now been solved. Thanks to Rohit and Mihaela. They followed up with my case and compensated with some complimentary bonus credit while solving my problem.

HI Odeifer!!!.

Vodafone Qatar has a page on facebook, talk to one of the three admins, and they will solve ur problem. Whenever I had a problem, I called them and my problem was solved. If not, I talk to one of the admins, they get my number and my problem is solved within a few hours :).

Practice makes perfection. Perfection is impossible. So why practice?

Why not use the Vodafone Red, or switch to it. With that i haven't got any credit problems at all.
