[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — Sim Not activated even after 12 Hours

Address:Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

I took a new sim and called 59059. I was informed that my sim will be activated within one hour. But it was not activated even after 2hours. I called customer care and asked for clarification. They said that it might take some more time and asked to check at 10AM next day. I checked at 10AM next day but still the sim is inactive. Again called Customer care who informed that the status is 'Active Pending' and it will take some more time. I asked to confirm me about how long will it take but they refused to say. They are not even informing about what exactly was the issue. Again at 1:30 afternoon i called Customer care but heard the same kind of reply. This time a person called "D. Kishore" asked me to wait another 2-3hours. Upon asking again to confirm exactly he asked me to wait till evening. It is almost 12hours and still the sim is inactive. Customer care persons are not at all cooperative. They are not informing about what was the issue. They simply said due to some reasons the activation is not done and not sure when it will be rectified. I am really frustated with Idea's worst service. Idea really sucks. I regret my decision of swiching from Airtel to Idea. God know when this idiotic sim will be activated. :( :( Mobile no - [protected]; First call to 59059 done on 09-Jul-2015.

Complaint marked as Resolved 
Complaint was addressed Initially after an hour(approx), asking for some time to get it resolved. After 2.5 Hours (approx) from then, received reply saying that the sim is activated. No one from Idea has made any call or email in this process (NOTE: Anyway my sim is inactive so no point of them contacting me) Checked and found that the issue is resolved. Anyway Thank you

You have no idea how many important calls i missed. Very unfortunate thing is that i am not able to do outgoing calls as well.
I am completely isolated from my people. A lot thanks to your worst service.
Your message is one more repeated reply from Idea. God knows when it will be resolved.
Just another hour and i will be done. About to throw idea sim in trash.
Dear Customer,

We wish to inform you that the service for your Idea number has already been activated. For further assistance, kindly contact to our Idea customer care helpline.

Thanks & Regards,

First impression is the best impression. You have completely failed in creating best impression.
I Hope you will not make me to switch to some other provider in future.
Issue resolved 20min back.

Thank you
