Vodafone : The Worst Mobile Service Provider that just sucks

Posted on by

vodafoneVodafone is the worst Cellphone service provider i have ever dealt with. 

You might have heard about the Caller Tune Stuff? Yes, the one where the caller gets to listen the song when he calls the other person. Here’s what happened with me Today.

About 2 hours back i received a Text Message with the Following Contents,

As Per your Request Caller Tune has been activated on your Vodafone mobile phone. Rs. 30 will be deducted as monthly rental. To deactivate send CT to 144 (Toll Free)

What the hell? I never ever called them up or sent any message to put up any caller tune. When i was thinking about this i got another message which made to go haywire, really. Just read it.

“Pardesia Mr Natwarlal’ has been set as your Caller Tune for 90 Days for all Caller. To Search for more caller tunes sms song/movie name to 55655 (free)

Now let me rip it apart. 

  1. Never did i Ask for any of their kind services.
  2. Instead of deducting Rs. 30 they deducted a hell lot of money, and now my Balance is around -35 bucks. So i don’t think cutting off Rs 74 was a good idea.
  3. It says, canceling the Caller Tune is Toll free. First of all the song, Natwarlal watever is so sick. I wanted to cancel it off, which i can’t because my service is bared, and as far as i read it did mention somewhere it was Toll Free, Correct?
  4. Not just 30 Days, but the caller tune has been set for 90 days so for 3 months, people will make fun of. Good.
  5. When i call up Vodafone Customer Care, first off i get some Machine telling me “You Service is Bared…. bla bla..” After several attempts i am able to make it up to some guy, who asks me to call in the morning.
  6. What Piece of shit is this exactly? I can’t Call anyone. When people call me they get to hear some 1995 song? 

I need to say, Vodafone service just sucks. Well, this post is not just for me but for so many people who are facing the problem but can’t have a say. Not just 1 person, if we calculate even if they do such things to 1000 people they make good money out of it. This is just so sick.

And not this one problem. Drop calls are the biggest problems too. I wonder how much money they make by such things. 

My Message to Vodafone - 

If Your Listening, you probably know how much your service sucks. If it goes this way users will get fed up of your services soon. Your Service sucks.

Anyone else having such experiences? Share it in the comment to make your voice heard.

Note : I’ll Keep you guys updated on what’s happening with this matter.

Happy Deepawali and Very Happy New Year to all our readers at etiole on behalf of all the Bloggers at Etiole! It’s been a some till we have had readers like you who make it fun for me to write blog posts!

To start with the post, Diwali is a festival, which is celebrated heavily in parts of India (as in my case) and it marks the end of evil by the Death of Ravana by Lord Ram. In Jainism too, this festival holds importance as this was they day when Lord Mahavira had attained Nirvana (Not the Band, but freedom from cycle of life and birth). 

We hope that you’ll this new year turns out be good and prosperous for everyone!

Please, Make this a diwali of Lights, and Not Crackers. Light a Diya not a Fire Rocket.

Well here’s Obama too, who’s Wishing you Happy Diwali! Video After Break.

In-App purchases brings the Old Upgrade Type App Model to iPhone

In App Purchases

In App Purchases

Remember those old days when you could download the a free software which was not exactly free but you needed to upgrade later to get full functionality? Yeah, something like that has come to Apple’s App store too called In-App Purchases.

What this does, is that earlier if you wanted to download any app, a free version then you would have to get a lite version of the app (I have lots of them, i said lots) and this would make it even more time consuming for app developers to make a separate lite app.

So With this In-App coming to the app store you can download any app from the store for free (if the developer has implemented it) and you will be able to try the app with limited features and if you want to buy the app then you can just hit upgrade and get the app with full features without the need of downloading entirely new app.

Here’s what Apple said to developers in a mail [Via Marco]

Now you can use In App Purchase in your free apps to sell content, subscriptions, and digital services.

You can also simplify your development by creating a single version of your app that uses In App Purchase to unlock additional functionality, eliminating the need to create Lite versions of your app. Using In App Purchase in your app can also help combat some of the problems of software piracy by allowing you to verify In App Purchases.
