Vi postpaid billing complaints, including for Vi RedX plans, typically involve discrepancies between the agreed plan and the actual bill amount. Common complaints include: bill higher than plan tariff, family plan member charges not split correctly, international roaming usage billed without prior confirmation, plan upgrade or downgrade not reflected in the current cycle, and delayed security deposit refund after account closure.
To file a complaint, call 199 from your Vi number (free, 24 hours) or toll-free 1800-123-1234. Email appellateauthority@vodafoneidea.com with your Vi postpaid number, the disputed amount, billing cycle dates and a description of the discrepancy. You can review your bill in detail through the Vi app under My Account. Note the complaint reference number.
Under TRAI regulations, billing disputes must be investigated within prescribed timelines, typically 4 working days for clear errors. You can pay the undisputed amount while the disputed portion is investigated, and Vi cannot disconnect your service solely over the disputed amount during this period.
If unresolved, escalate to Vi's Appellate Authority at appellateauthority@vodafoneidea.com.
