    I also lost Rs. 49/- due to this hotshot Vodafone fraud service. Someone should form an association and file a criminal case. It is nothing but looting.

    Their idea is : charge Rs. 49/- from 10 crore customers, make Rs. 490/- crores—-but, nobody will complain to the court because amount is so small.

    We should teach these corporate frauds a lesson. I am in Kerala circle of Vodafone.

  7. Voafone unnessicarily deducts money for services which has not been activayed and after every week it automatically gets reduced

  8. Same with me.. charged Rs.21 against this HOTSPOTS .. cheap fellows. deactivating the Vodafone..
    I request all the users to deactivate this Foreign network..
    If they want to earn this kind of money we should shutdown the network itself

  9. very worst service,i never rrequst for this type of service. Y u charging 49rs. For seven days .if uou charged i will quit from vodafone service

    I’ve received a message stating that HOTSHOTS has been activated as requested and 49 deducted from my balance! I HAVE NOT REQUESTED ANY SUCH SERVICE! What kind of scam is this??????????

    1. I was also charged for a similar service that was never activated or used by me!

      The LDS_HOTSHOTS service remained active on my Vodafone Account for less than 75 mins total until it was promptly deactivated. During these 75 mins or less, it was not used even once.

      Hell, the funny part is, once I called 198 to address the issue, even the designated Vodafone Customer Service Representative had no clue what the service did, and they expect ME to pay for it! #SoNotHappening

      Even upon immediately deactivating the useless and uncalled for service, I was still charged ₹49 over and above my monthly tariff.

      However, atleast they had the decency to sent a clear text SMS notifying me about it.

      The text message read,

      Hello! HOTSHOTS service is now active on your number, as requested.This service is valid till 12-09-2016 and a 7 days rental of Rs.49 will reflect in your next bill.To deactivate SMS STOP to or call 155223(toll free).

  12. Hello! HOTSHOTS service is now active on your number, as requested.This service is valid till 10-08-2016 and a 7 days rental of Rs.49 has been deducted.Your current Balance post service activation is Rs.223.785.To deactivate SMS STOP to or call 155223(toll free). You are always activating unnecessarily this type of services and deducting our balances.. stop this type of foul play, and cheating your customers

  13. Dont use to cheat your customers, this is not a fair rule. Stop this hotshots charging with your customers… Hello!

  14. Voda it looks trying to harras the consumer, it happened to me two days back. When I was notified that due to low balance my hotshot has been desabled, l must recharge within a week to activate it. I was facing hotspot proles on my tablet and I thought it was because of this hotshot that hotspot was not working . So I recharged and got notification of activation for 5 days for which rs 35 deducted from my balance.
    Looks I would move back to idea/airtel

  15. Unnecessary hotshots service activation n deduction of balance from Vodafone, that’s very disappointing as i didn’t click any link .. This is very inconvenient even if u refund the balance for customers.. Vodafone needs to improve their service activation plans, else they may be soon falling in trouble

  16. I got a msg that hotshot is activated on my number and rs.49 is deducted from my account but i didnot activate any such plan

  17. i got message that HOTSHOT service has been activated on your number and rs.45 is deducted from your balance. This is a foul play and i havnt activated any service.

  18. I’ve received a message stating that HOTSHOTS has been activated as requested and Rs.90 deducted from my main balance! I haven’t requested any Hotshot services. When contacted Customer care they saying you had activated hotshots service by browsing which i didn’t browsing at that full day and I never knew this service.
    It looks trying to harras the consumer, it happened to me yesterday 28th Aug 2016.
