At least contact and discuss your case.

I purchased a Sony Ericsson Handset Bearing Model no. K550i. But i am facing lots of problem in that handset. Bad product.

Yes, I do agree with the above complaint as I am also a victim of such act by the Manufacturer and the service provider.

dear sir,

i purchased Sony Ericsson K550i, imei # [protected]-189787-0 on 29.09.2007 from RPG Cellucom India Pvt. Ltd., shop # 305, Forum Mall, Elgin Road, Kolkata - 700020, ph # [protected], the phone was packed sealed, but to my utter surprise i found the phone had some specific problems -

1. the reception quality is very poor.
2. call drops are frequent.
3. the ear speaker delivers very bad sound.
4. the phone gets hot very soon effecting the ears too.
5. when am syncronising the phone with the computer with the usb cable, after completing my job, when am removing the usb cable, the phone gets automatic switch off and then on itself.

i took the defective set to the shop, one representative named Arindam ( ph # [protected] ) inspected the problem and found that i was correct, as the set was newly purchased i demanded the shop to change my phone and give me a new one, as i dont have any extra handset and without a phone these days its hard to survive, but they insisted that it should be taken to the service centre, which may take atleast a week or more. so i left my defective phone with them and was compelled to buy a motorola set for standby untill my set is coming from repair. prior i used SE K750i, P1, P990i, but am disheartened this time.

well if i am under warranty and the defective set is brought for complain within two days, am i wrong to ask for a new handset ?

i am a sony fan, but its difficult to take such a harrasment from the company i love most.

kindly look after my matter at the earliest, wich i beg to you.

regards,
debjit mitra

Please look after my matter.

With regards

My cell phone(w300i) display was showing some problems for which i approached the sony erriccson service station at garodia nagar east, Ghatkopar. The attendant told me it is beyond their scope of warranty even when my phone is just 8 months old. She got my phone repaired for Rs 1200 but to my horror plainly refused to hand over me any reciept or bill or any sort of acknowledgment.

She says it is our policy not to give reciepts. Isnt this against the law?

you know one thing iam purchase with in 10 days only. i tell the information of service centre they r not responce . i complaint directly head office This is my complaint No : SE 738-1738

Hello!

Date of Purchase: 2/8/2007

1)I had a problem with my phone from the day when i bought it, it had the famous bug that when camera button is pressed 4 6 0 wont be working.
2)I once gave it at Digicom kalyan to Mr Girish for charging problem it wasnt getting charged, he took nearly 7 days and told that the board of the phone is to be changed and once when i went there he just resetted it and gave it back anyhow the problem was solved.
3)Then i started getting problem of camera pics taking time to getting saved on the MMC.
4)While talking on phone suddenly the call used to drop and the Entertainment menu used to be displayed on screen.
5)When unlocking the keypad sometimes it didnt used to get unlocked after pressing the * button the unlock key was showing on the screen that it is pressed but the phone didnt used to get unlock.
6)Considering all this problems i went to Salora Service Center Grant Road(E), Mumbai. on 1/8/2008
7)There they took my mobile for repair after an hour they gave it back to me and the reason given to me was that your cell is out of warranty as it has liquid damage on the keypad.
8) I said ok as in the mobile was working well just having a few bugs in it as i am a Computer Engineer i do understand the difference between Hardware and Software problem so i accepted.
9) Then i inserted in the Battery and sim card and turned on the phone, to my surprise the KEYS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 0, *, #, left Selection, WEBkey were not working so i said the concerned person to check the mobile and give it back to me as it was, he said that if it was to be done so easily i must have repaired it, i said i was not having any hardware problem but my problem was software bugs.
10)So going to SE Service Center just increased my problem to a very great extent. I forced the Service Center persons to just consider the matter and look into it but they replied it cant be done, if i want it to be repaired i will have to pay Rs.600 for repairs as your mobile is out of warranty we wont even consider your case if you come after today. I asked them can i meet your concerned head they replied why?,
after some time i was telling them and they were not responding me.
11)After a request they provided me a Receipt of the complaint and told to me that "You Can Take Whatever actions you want against us!"
12)I walked off from the Service Center.
13)Then i used the phone for 2 days just to receive calls and to call them whose nos are there in my PhoneBook.
14)I then tried to get it repaired from a local repairer and guess what he told me that the strip connecting the keypad and the socket was broken and guess how it happened "at the Service Center" i know that you people cant take water damage mobiles under warranty, its ok, but what if your engineer has mishandled it and broken inner parts, shall i pay for it?, Liquid damage can sort the electronic parts but can it cut a cable

Hello Sir/Madam,

I am extremely disappointed with the services I received from such an esteemed organisation like yours. I am feeling very helpless now.

I purchased a W830i on 6.5.07 from M/S Anandamela paying Rs. 15700/-, the IMEI number of which is [protected]. Unfortunately within one year of purchase the set started troubling me. It started getting automatically switched off even if fully charged. I had to send it to the following authorised service centre on 19.04.2008. The job sheet number was 8429.

BABLI MEDIA CENTRE
242/A VIVEKANANDA RD.
KOL 700006
PH# [protected].

They took more than a month and I received the repaired set on 21.05.08. Since the set was within warranty, I have not been charged anything.
But, to my surprise, I found that they had damaged my keypad!
I had to go to them again on 23.05.08. They again took the set from me and prepared a fresh jobsheet with a number 9101, and assured me that they would deliver the same to me within 7 days. They again took more than a month and delivered the repaired set to me on 8th July 2008.
At the time of charging, it is showing " Charging alien battery". And few minutes later it shows "Charging error. Stop charging." It took the whole 24 hours for charging. After two days while charging it showed the message "Serious Error. Stop Charging. Stop using your phone and contact Sony Ericsson Call Centre."

I was totally taken aback and fearing that it might burst, I stopped using the phone.

Now, would you please let me know what should I do. I had spent Rs.15700/. Does this money of mine have no value ? I have been harassed again and again by your service centre, had to spend bus fare every time for following up with them. Is this the way a customer should be treated ? Or since the set was within warranty, let the customer suffer ? Where will I get the money I spent on it ? Who is going to give ? Do your good self has an answer ? I do not want to give my phone to the service centre again. They would again damage it. Please arrange to give my money back to me.

Regards,

Antara Majumdar.

i hav been using w550i since one year.

I would lik strict action to be against them

I bought a new Sony Ericsson W 580i phone from Reliance Mart using credit cad on 26th of June, 2008. But the dam phone stopped after 1 month. For the last three weeks the phone is lying in the service center situated in Okhla Ph 2. Every time I call they people refuse to give the handset saying that we still haven’t received the part from Chennai. I am completely help less and don’t know what to do now. If any one reads this complaint and thinks of a solution, can mail me any time.

I purchased G502 august 2008, but its so many times showing no display( hanging) while capturing video, internet browsing,

2. And some time its not keeping inside recently taken images and videos..

I already complaint about this already but i didn't received any reply main or suggestion.. Please provide me the solution..

I have purchased your K810i mobile from M/s. Subiksha, Chennai vide IEMI No: [protected], dated 10th March 2008. Suddenly the Cancel Keys were not working and gave for Service to Accel vide their RO Number/Call No. SFI-SE-615068-CP dated 16/7/2008 and got rectified in a couple of days but again Cancel keys and Back Button keys were not functioning and had given for service again to Accel vide their Call No. SFI-SE-006611/2008-RTB dt. 26/9/2008. I was quite impressed with your K810i mobile model and I now regret for having purchased the same. I have paid a premium price compared to other brands just believed in ‘SONY’ and paid Rs. 12, 975/-. But within a period of 6 months, more and more problems made my life miserable. I have not visited Nokia service for the last 8 years of my usage of mobile. Suddenly changing my brand loyalty from Nokia to Sony made me miserable. I request you to replace my mobile with a fresh piece of K810i. Expecting your feedback.

I bought sony ericsson k530i this march and the painting around the display screen is just ripping off like a nail polish within 6 months. and now the painting is almost gone and looks like a ugly, fake one. Is this the standard of sony ericsson India mobiles? or sony ericsson as a whole? my IEMI no. is [protected]-796691-9 which is still under warranty and 6mnths old. When I called customer care, they say the painting does not cover under warranty. Who can ask this...they simply say the paintings does not come under warranty.

I bought sony ericsson 580 i in december 2007. but from the day one i am having problems. now i request you to please let me know the address of a reliable workshop address so the i can get it rectified

I too faced the same problem. I bought SE w580i and the the phone completely stopped working with in 7 days. When I took to the service center, they told that the motherboard was damaged and it will take 15 days to replace it. Now its more than 40 days and they are still promising me to give it next week. Don't know how they are expecting me to trust them. Got completely frustrated with SE and its authorized service centers. I feel cheated by SE. Especially Indians (Dont know about others), as there is very bad service for SE, I feel people should avoid buying SE phones, no matter how good the reviews are for a particular phone are. Because, you can never guess what kind of problems will come, and if problems come, there is no one to help you.

bad phone

I have bought a sony ericsson w350i mobile 4 months back ...2 weeks back it was not getting booted..so i went to the neary by service centre which is located in chennai...jambulingam street...ie salora international...i given the mobile on 3/10/2008 at 11 o clock...they told that it will be rectified within 4 days ...after that, i called up them after 4 days...and enquired about the status...they have replied that ...there is some board problem...it will be rectified within 15 working days time..(i patitently waited)

Our Service Motto is (salora)

non of the above is matching with their service

On 27.03.2008 I purchased a Sony Ericsson W580i mobile phone at Mobile Store in Vyalikaval, Bangalore. Within one month my mobile was getting frequently switched off. I thought it was a minor problem. Then on 09.08.2008 I visited Numeric Communication Service (Sony Ericsson Services Centre), in Malleswaram and they repaired the set. They assured that the mobile will not have any problem in future. Again the problem stated, then on 31.10.2008 I went to Asental Service Centre in Dr.Rajkumar Road and also lodged a complaint in Sony Ericsson Customer Care. I have contacted Mr.Khokan, Mr.Rashish and Mr.Raj - Customer Care Executives & they gave the complaint No.SE1032-1068. They told that after second service, the mobile will not get switched off and they also ensured that if the same problem continues, they will do the replace of mobile phone. Believing their words to be true, I went and collected the mobile on 08.11.2008 from Ascental Service Centre. But again I am getting same problem and another new problem started, whenever I do outgoing call and incoming call I will get some different sound from my mobile phone and also some message is coming “Ciphering not provided by operator, insecure transmission”. And it will switch off automatically. When I approached Sony Ericsson Customer Care, one of the Customer Care Executive Mr. Rashish, stated that, he told me to leave the mobile for repair in service centre.

The customer care and service centre persons are not responding for my grievance and they are not providing proper service. From the beginning I am getting some or the other problem with that mobile. Now the mobile is not working properly. I don’t want get repaired again and again. I wanted a replacement of refund or cost of the mobile 10, 3000/- with 5 months interest @24%. If you are nor resolving the issue within 15 days from the date of receipt of this letter I shall be forced to approach consumer court.

With Regards

Dear Sony Ericsson,

As per your mail, I had gone to the service centre at S. G. Infotech, A-10, S. V. Road, Borivali (W), owner Mohan Mistry [protected]). I would now describe my experience.

1. I was impressed to see the service station. It prominently displayed the Sony poster and I was given a token and to add to all the surprises there were good chairs for the customers to wait.

2. When my turn came I went and informed the person (named Abid) that my phone is not able to read my memory card and can he check the problem and let me know how much money will be needed to repair the phone. I also asked him about the call-drop problem that I am facing. I was told that it is a problem which SE users face with Airtel when they use a SIM which is not 32kb. I wish to know why was this information not disclosed to me and what are you going to do about it. I am fed up with the call drop problem in my phone w810i. And please dont blame it on Airtel, other handset users dont face such problem.

3. He went with the phone inside and came back in less than 15 seconds and told me that it will cost Rs 850. I wish to know how much time does it take to ascertain whether a phone has a problem with the memory card reading or there is a problem with the memory card itself. Is it done by visual inspections? And do you think that one can be reasonably sure in 15-20 seconds what the problem is.

4. Once he had told me the figure of Rs 850 I asked him for the breakup. To my surprise he refused to tell anything stating that 850 it is. I asked him again about the breakup - the parts and the service charge. To which he again replied that he will not tell anything more. I said that as a customer, I have the right to know why is Sony charging me 850 and he has to tell me. At this point he asks me to go to some other place but he will not tell anything more. To which I replied that as a Sony authorised service station it is his duty to serve me.
How can one of your authorised service centre guys refuse to divulge details of the cost breakup (even if it is a estimate)? I get a feeling that Sony has instituitioned or at least encouraged such behaviour.

5. As a Sony customer why am I being asked by Sony centres to go to other places. I can sense widespread corruption in such scheme of things. Hapless custumers (who know nothing about the technology of cellphones) are charged exorbitant sums and the breakup is never given. The service centres just repair the phones and give a large bill including spare parts. They don't like being questioned and are so arrogant so as to ask customers to get the repair done from some other place. I wish to escalate this matter. In the first place I am being subjected to a sub-standard phone ( infinite call drop, failed card-reader, malfunctioning earphones and all this in less than 2 years) and when I want to get it repaired I am not disclosed the breakup. Why is Sony turning a blind eye to such corruption? What am I supposed to do? As a customer, am I supposed to pay large premium to buy Sony phones and then live with such corruption while you provide patronage to such rogue service providers.

6. Later, three different people tried to shout me down. I was sort of intimidated by one of the service centre guys. I was later told that I need to change the IC which will cost Rs 600 and the service charge would be Rs 250. I wish to know the price of IC that needs to be changes. My model is w810i and my phone is not able to read my memory card. I hope that this information is enough to give me the price quote. At least, it was enough for the guys to tell me the charge.

As a loyal Sony customer, I had ensured that all my family members buy SE phones. I was happy to pay the premium for the instruments but I am highly dissatisfied by the quality and after-sales service. I have always stood against corruption and would like to escalate this matter to higher authorities in Sony so as to ensure that as a cutomer my rights are protected.

sub:- complaint for not providing service

sir,
I had purchased a mobile handset model( K790i) from HARSHA ELECTRIALS at club road belgaum on 02/09/2007, bill no, 017548, IMEI NO:- [protected] by credit card of my brother mr, sajid khatib for amount (16500/-) i had a network problem in the hand set i gave to repair in belgaumto cosmoic service in belgaum, they told me upload software then charged me rs(350/-) after a weeki met with same problem so i visited them thay told it not reparable, so i send to my cousin in banglore mr nurullah hanafi, he had given to a service center some accentel at commercial street 1st floor, in mean time i had sent to a complaint by mail u people had given me a case no([protected]), i got my hand set back and the reply was its not repairable its mother board is dead, iam well aware that the warrenty period is expired

I purchased S500i on 22 April 2008 and in october there was problem in my handset related to no network + LCD and from that day i was continousaly visiting service centre and there services are very poor, finaly in December last they told me to replace the cell with new handset.These all things are really very disheartening as I am suffering from october till now. The services from sony ericsson are so poor it is really unbearable. The money which I have spent on my handset has no value or you all are thinking us fool.When I have purchased this set then there were lots of commitments from your side now all those things are faded.
Now this is my last status regarding my cell.If the same situation persists then for sure I will move to consumer court it is ridiculous to wait for such a long time of 4 months. I am giving details here My set is S500i, My last complaint id no-SES09ALD10412 IMEI No-[protected] to nearby service centre of Allahabad-(radio centre Shop No 3, First Floor Meena Bazar 10 s.p. marg civil lines Phone no-[protected]).

Yes I agree with all of the consumers here.I personally have a SE k810i.After 4 months of its purchase the mboard gave up leading to the cellphone hanging up.A friend of mine exprd a similar problem.The service centres suck.I had mailed my greivances to the SE site in HongKong but did not get a good service.I just tell you all not to recommend or buy SE cellphones in future.

Mobile Defective and Bad Service from the sony erricson service centre

I would like to inform you of my dissatisfaction with the Sony Ericssion P1i mobile phone and the service provided.Since I have bought this phone, it has been working well, until recently it stopped functioning normally. I returned the phone to your customer service(Trident United Products Private Limited Bangalore, Koramangala) on 20th January. The customer service representative informed me that the phone mother-board has to be replaced and they would make the phone ready in 10 days.

1 Month later, the phone is still not working.I received my phone with the motherboard replaced on Feb 18, Within 2days i had to revisit the service center as the phone started hanging frequently.
The manager promised me that he will replace it. But now they tell they haven't committed any thing like that

On each occasion they have kept the phone and apparently worked on it with no luck. Their attempts to resolve the problem have not been satisfactory and they finally claim that there is nothing more they can do to help me.Even the customer care department([protected]) wasn't able help me and solve the problem.

And now they claim that they need 4 more working days to give back my cell. They need 2 months to solve a simple problem.And trust me guys they are meant to make false promises please don't trust them.

Yours faithfully,
Hamid Shariff

Hello,
I would like bring to your notice the dissatisfaction which I am having to face by purchasing a Sony Ericsson Mobile Phone.
I purchased the Sony Ericsson Model NO : W350i on 26th October 2008. The phone started giving me troubles on the very first week of purchase. Apparently, the phone was unable to maintain the battery charge for more than a few hours even with minimal usage. Following this, I placed my first complaint (NO : SES08STH15564) on 31st Oct 2008 (5 days from the date of purchase). Thankfully, the phone was repaired in a day.
However, now after barely 6 months of purchase, a few buttons of the phone just decided to go on a strike. Again, I dutifully took my mobile to the nearest Authorised Service Centre on 23rd February 2009. I was told that I could have the repaired phone back within a week. A week later, on calling the Service Centre, I was informed that some spare parts of the phone were not available and that it would take a week more to have it repaired. Being, patient, I decided to wait. Now, after nearly waiting for a month, I find my patience is running out since the phone is still not repaired and your technicians seem to be having a tough time finding the spare parts. I understand that no product is totally bug free and sometime or the other there is bound to be some problem. Hence, I would safely assume that you have the necessary spare parts/skilled technicians to help your customers resolve the problems they are facing with their phones at the earliest. What bothers me is that I am not able to find enough support from your technicians for having placed my trust in shifting my loyalties from the "Nokia" brand to Sony Ericsson.
I would like to get the phone repaired/replaced within 2 business working days (i.e., by Close of Business 23rd March 09) failing which I will be forced to move to the Consumer Court.
The address of the service centre is:

SWISS TIME HOUSE
B-56, First Floor, GCDA Complex,
Marine Drive-31, Ernakulam
Kochi

Hello,

I too have had a very bad experience with Sony Ericsson mobile. I was holding W200i SE. Then I decided to go for upgraded mobile. I visited Sony's exclusive Showroom at Chennai (Tambaram). I bought W302 only on 22.03.09 evening (ofcourse as per the suggestion of Showroom person) which was suiting our budget too. The next day I didn't use it. On 24th I started using the mobile. In two minutes' usage I could notice that it gets hot. I was not satisfied with audio performance also, which was very poor.

I wrote a mail immediately to Sony. They gave me a Case No.[protected] and gave the Service Centres' names (Salora & Info Flows). It was not even a weeks' old.

The very next day I took the mobile to the same show room where I bought. I argued for replacement and they were reluctant to hear anything from me. They just kept on telling to visit their service centre. Finally I got annoyed, removed my SIM card from the mobile and kept the mobile on the table and left the place.

After this, I sent a mail again to Sony, mentioning what all happened to me. (There is no problem with Auto Reply from Sony - We can feel very happy to receive only this promptly). Now my Complaint No. is [protected]. After this complaint, there is no feedback. Again, mentioning this complaint number, wrote a reminder mail. For that also there is no answer till this moment.

Now I have been forced to move this matter to consumer court.

Request your feedback and suggestions on the above. May please mail
