Vodafone Rhapsody

Well people, these mobile phone companies seem to have lost it completely. I’ve had a few surprises but never one like today.
The thing is my plan is 295, one year validity, and at 79 paise per minute to any cellphone. When I activated the plan, It seemed like I had 13 hours worth of Vodafone to Vodafone calls free. It was like some countdown timer was ticking down but the balance amount wasn’t getting reduced. So I started using it in full force… Especially during School’s annual day function {all my friends have Vodafones too} So I used it almost like a walkie-talkie. Last when I saw, I still had around 9 hours of free calls left. Then the next day after the annual day, I check my account balance and nearly lost my balance… I’d been had!
Looks like my calls during the annual day had been charged!
I was away all this time so I couldn’t goto the customer care centre. I went today. This was how the conversation went:
Me: Excuse me, I have a problem
The Vodafone lady{TVL}: Yes sir, how may I help you?
Me: My free calls got over all of a sudden
TVL: Really? How?
Me: You have to tell me that…
TVL: What is your number?
* I give the number… The lady pokes around on her IBM machine *
TVL: You have been migrated from your plan sir…
Me: What the!
TVL: yup… after your recharge…
Me: but the calls started charging even before I got the recharge done! I had to get the recharge done only because these calls started charging me… get it?
TVL: No sir
Me: {rapidly losing patience} Do you have records of my payments… I only have an SMS package!
TVL: one moment sir… *pokes around again* … according the records in your plan, you DO NOT have ANY free calls…
Me: What the!
TVL: I’m sorry, I guess you enjoyed it all this time…

I walk out…
Moral: Vodafone is the funniest provider I’ve seen!
