[Resolved]  Idea — Unauthorised Charges after number was ported

Address:	Vadodara, Gujarat, 390023
Website:	www.ideacellular.com

I had postpaid connection with Idea Cellular with number +91 [protected]. I Paid my postpaid bill and converted my same number to prepaid. To which i fulfilled all their necessary steps. I was given a new sim card and told that it will be activated in next 48 hours. I waited, but the sim did not get activated. I didn't bother to go to idea store to activate the number as it was not that important to me. After around 2 to 3 months, idea calls me and tells me to pay my pending bill. I had not used the phone, rather the sim was not active, how do they have a bill pending?

Above that, today i received a call from some number +91 [protected] and being told that a warrant has been issued against my name and i will have to pay a penalty of Rs 25000/- and also might get behind the bars. They talked to me in very rough manner and also been pressurising me to pay the amount where as i am not liable to pay. Rather i should ask for a compensation for such mental torture

They(Idea) also have my call recording when i had applied for converting from postpaid to prepaid. Also they had confirmed details and gave a confirmation that it will be ported.

I request you to look into the matter and sort it.

Thank you
