Dear Sir,
I had purchased a Fly Mobile (Model # B720) on 12th August from the HOTSPOT, Fatehgunj, Vadodara (Gujarat). At the time of purchase, I was recommended by the Hotspot Guys to purchase a Hotspot Add-On Service Pack for 2 years warranty, which I did.
The total cost of the phone is 10, 200.00 INR.
I would like to bring to your kind notice, the pathetic co-ordination and client satisfaction/interaction at the Hotspot Outlet by the Company Guys.
Case:
No sooner than end of October the headset had a connectivity problem where the sound signals when connected was not continuous. I took the handset with the headset to the Hotspot Outlet (Mr. Jatin) at Fatehgunj, Baroda. He tried listening through the instrument and took the headset for replacement. The same socket was used for charging. Later, the charging pin when inserted used to have a loose connection, where at times it used to charge and stop on its own. I had been out of station to attend training at Khandala on 5th November and the same day it stopped charging. I was cut-off totally during entire training sessions and had no options but to attend. After returning on 10th of November I took the phone to Mr. Jatin and handed it over.
There has been no communication from their end, on being contacted Mr. Jatin (Hotspot) never cared to answer my phone and therefore after three days on reaching the outlet in person, I was informed that the instrument is dead and I have two options: Either i get 50% of the cost, or the phone shall be repaired in such a manner wherein only my charging option works.
I was shocked to hear from Hotspot Guys that even though my Phone was under the warranty period, the attempt to repair was done by a Hotspot Technician, which indirectly indicates that I shall not be liable to receive any warranty from FLY people, despite the fact that phone is under the warranty period and that too without my permission.
I was equally shocked to see the condition of my phone, the only one word I can use for the condition of my phone is "SCREWED", my phone was literally screwed.
Left with no other option I gave a Go Ahead Signal to the Hotspot guys to get it repaired in the way where only my charging shall be working, I would not be able to use the Headset anymore.
The Instrument was returned on 22nd November in a battered condition, where the battery was not getting charged and to Add-On to my distress to it, the Bluetooth Services, Profile Settings were not at all operational.
I am an ICICI Bank employee and I have several clients in entire South Gujarat where I need to provide my availability and services. Phone is a medium where urgent/ priority issues can be resolved. This time has been highly frustrating for me to handle as i did not have a standby phone and the connectivity issue where in I could not take my clients numbers from the phone.
Lately on 23rd November Mobicare Outlet, Alkapuri Arcade, Baroda told me that the instrument has to be sent to Delhi for further repairs. When I asked for refunding the 50% of the showroom cost, so that I can buy a new phone, they told me to wait for a minimum of 15 days more.
Moreover, upon being asked to give me the contact details of all the higher authorities of hotspot and fly mobile as well, the guys of mobicare outlet, Alkapuri Arcade, Baroda denied to have any information as such and henceforth I had to manage with relevant contact details myself.
This is a lack of efficiency at the Service Centers end, where firstly I lost the warranty as it got opened at the Hotspot Service Center and secondly Ignorant Services where the phone got worsened to its existing operational capability and a high turnaround time of 14 days.
I believe you have understood the issue, and i am sure the decision taken at your end would be a wise decision to make it win-win.

Warm Regards,
