So, Pls tell me what will I do now.

My suggestion for Instant Recharge option on Ideacellular.com

1) Recharge my ideacellular number [protected].
2) Recharge should be instant within few second If Ideacellular says it is instant recharge.
3) Value should debit from the online account when I will credit in ideacellular number.
4) Customer care representative response should be positive & he should satishfy customer.


Waiting Ur positive Reply

TRAI must do something, such disappearance of amount after recharge is becoming a common feature of all IDEA, Vodafone etc, and it is of no use, even i[censored] get refund, because the crucial time, when u need talk value is passed and there is opportunity loss. They must stop this facility, if they cant use proper and instant system to do so.

Subject:Tempory De-activation of my prepaid mobile no.
Series of events as follows:
on 20 Jan 2009 a message is sent on my mobile for summission of Add. verification, & photo indentity for my existing mobile no [protected] which is more than 10years old number and already all my documents were complete when i bought this connection. Interestingly the message didnt state that your connection will be diactivated. And without giving any time idea diactivated my no. on 21 jan. i.e. the very next day.
0n 21 Jan 2009 my no. was deactivated and also i summited my all the documents through the retailer.
and i was told that my connection will be activated within 24 hours.But nothing happened till 24jan.
on 24 Jan 2009 at 11.26 am i received a message from idea it self stating " dear customer. Your prepaid no. has been activated! idea " But to my utter surprise my phone was still not activated.Then i called up the customer care from my landline and the answer i got was that was documents has not reached and i said then how could i get this message and they could not satisfy me and said that you should call up from your mobile and the customer care no is activate and i had to call again from the mobile and i got the same answer.This time it was Ms. Kiran who attended my call at 12.10pm who gave the same answer and when i asked to note down my complaint & give me the complaint no. she refused to note my complaint inspite of the fact that i asked her that i will post it on the blog.
This the the state of service at IDEA cellular. Instead of saying it as customer care they should immediately change the name to customer nocare.

I aqm not received my ideal monthly bill

the worst customer service that idea provide the executive dnt have efficient communication skills, they provide all wrong information.i have call to customer service and i have made a call to phillipens but i have no words wth my frd but also my amt was deducted and i have made the call at 12.00 morning but the customer executive says u have called at 5.00 am.the rdiculous service ever seen

your service is great

I want pay postpaid bill through net banking pls inform me how?

I faced same problem. I have used the Instant Rechage on 'http://www.ideacellular.com/

Then I got message:
'Please enter some 8 digit number in the field marked Code on the Idea website to proceed with your transaction'

The 150 Rs deducted from my Icici bank account but my prepaid balance did not update. When I called to customer care excutive he said to me 'We have not any updated record about recharge done by you, Please contact Idea office. Other wise go on Idea website there you can check the details of your Prepaid balance' but on the website are not any link to see the details or transaction history.

My Trasaction on Idea is BIL/[protected]/idea/IDEA_MICI904912

the customer care is really very bad and they are like hhhhhhhh...

what can i do suggest me something.

Now a days the cellular companies are nothing but the blade companies.They are cheating the customers even though the customers are highly educated and what about the common man and the illetrates of our country.
