[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — incorrect charges deducted from balance

Address:Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400104

I had recharged my prepaid phone with an unlimited call, data pack. I had received an sms stating pack is valid until 14-feb. However on 12th feb, ~rs. 150 got deducted from my balance. I followed up 'n' number of times to get resolution. Upon enquiry, idea customer care told that my pack expired on 11th feb itself and hence i was charged for data usage. Now idea is not ready to accept their mistake and i am just being directed from one idea authority to another. This is not the first time this has happened. Kindly help me with this issue.

Hi Lavina, on 12-feb, I was under unlimited data pack and hence the charges are incorrect. Attaching images which prove that
1. my unlimited pack validity is till 14th Feb.
2. My recharge was valid for 84 days.

So charges of almost Rs. 150 should be reversed as there was incorrect communication from Idea side.
