Vodafone, the world's second-biggest portable administrator, additionally neglected to act rapidly enough to recognize or address the issues, the controller said, which originated from a move to another charging framework.
Nearly 10,452 of the cell phone monster's compensation as-you-go clients all in all lost 150,000 pounds over a 17-month time span between the end of 2013 and April 2015.
Vodafone said it profoundly lamented the framework and process disappointments and had discounted most by far of the influenced clients.
Ofcom's Lindsey Fussell said the failings were "not kidding and unsatisfactory" and the fines, which are the most astounding ever forced by the controller, sent an unmistakable cautioning to all telecoms organizations.
"Telephone administrations are an indispensable piece of individuals' lives, and we anticipate that all clients will be dealt with reasonably and in compliance with common decency," she said on Wednesday.
Vodafone said everything except 30 clients had been completely discounted or re-credited, with a normal discount of 14.35 pounds, and it gave 100,000 pounds to philanthropy to guarantee it didn't benefit from the 30 clients it couldn't find.
"This has been a miserable scene for every one of us at Vodafone: we know we let our clients down," the organization said. "We are resolved to put everything right."
Vodafone said it was certain its clients were at that point starting to see the advantages of its interest in its new frameworks.
England's controllers have ventured up the weight as of late to ensure clients are being secured. Ofcom said in September that Sky, England's greatest pay-television gathering, may have disregarded buyer manages by making it excessively troublesome for clients, making it impossible to wipe out or switch suppliers.
