Idea Cellular Complaints & Reviews

Hello,

Today (07/06/2012) I have recieved SMS saying that I have opted for a service named "dymci" and Idea automatically activated it with out my consent. How can Idea take this initiative with out my consent ?

I had to call 198 to get rid off this service. My question is how come I got auto subscribed ? How do I launch a grievence with Idea on this ?

Note: I have been a loyal prepaid customer to Idea since 6 years, I don't want such sort of treatment from them

Thanks, Karthik

Hello Sir/Madam,

I'm one among the lakhs of idea customers who are cheated by the idea cellular services.Without my knowledge they have activated some Value added services from 28th May,2012.Rs.5/day is deducted from my mobile.I contacted the customer care(12345) but they are not redirecting me to the operator and our complaints are also not yet registered.I don't know which VAS they have activated?I'm losing my money.I am not able to deactivate the service which is activated without my knowledge by them. I got really frustrated by this type of service from idea. Actually i got influenced by the Idea and changed my network from Airtel to Idea..But i think i did a wrong decision on that day to get this type of worst service from Idea Network.

Whenever i am contacting customer care, they are not redirecting the call to operator to talk about this activation in detail..Instead each time iam getting response like " Our operator is busy in attending some other call so please try again later"..

I lost 35 Rs.. because of this activation..After losing passion of calling Customer care, I tried to deactivate VAS by sending DEACT to 12345.
For that i got reply msg like "please provide the service which you want to deactivate". with some codes of services available in idea. How do i know which service is activated(without my knowledge).They need to say what are the services activated in my mobile. That route to solve the issue also failed.

My mobile number is [protected] (Prepaid no). I don't know whether this approach will work or not..(i lose my trust on idea). Could you please tell me which service is activated and also deactivate the respective service today itself and also i want my money to refund back to my mobile number soon. How can i pay for something which is actually not known /not needed for me?

Hi,

From Past few months, I have been facing Signal/Network Issues with IDEA.

We work at one of the MNC's located in the SIRUSERI IT park in OMR Road.

Although this place is the destination for IT Hub, We dont find sufficient signal in the indoors. We have to reach outdoors inorder to receive the signal.

We have had a couple of talks with the Customer care, But the Result is Waste.

Providing Enough coverage for the Customer is the First and Foremost Policy of the Telecom Operators.

We see only a Decent Signal is available for Vodafone and Reliance.

Please look into this issue ASAP. My contact No is [protected]

Hello Team,

My name is Hemant Bagal. I am the customer for the Idea mobile postpaid connection. I am using this connection from past 24 months.
I was happy about this service. But now i ma really very disappointed.
the reason behind this is discrepancies in the postpaid bill from past two months. I am getting charged unnecessary for the SMS- MT charges.
This month i got charge of 80 rs. last month i was charged with 60 rs.
this SMS has sent on every sunday evening 9-10 PM.
I have no inetnsion to send such message which is costing me 20 rs per SMS.
Hence i am expecting the necessary amount or waver has to be given or adjusted in my next bill as this bill is already paid by me.
My mobile number [protected].
I called up customer care so many times with no joy.
Customer service was not at all co-operative.
Hence as i have never sent such messages for which i am getting charged.
Please look after this issue.
If this issue resolves then only i will continue with this service. other wise i have to switch to another operator.
Quick reply or action is expected.
Hoping for your best support.

Thanks and regards,
Hemant Bagal

Hello,
On[protected], I got SMS from Idea Cellular about free 100(Local + National) SMS everyday for 10 Days. But On[protected], when I have sent 4 SMS and I found that Rs.6 has been deducted from my account balance.

When I have called in Customer Care about this issue, they have denied to accept that they have not sent any SMS about Free 100 SMS for 10 days and refused to give me my balance back.

So, Here I come to register my complain about inappropriate service by Idea. Hope I will get quick reply soon.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
Mobile No: [protected]
I am holding corporate offer Plan 249 Rs. and also activated 99Rs. GPRS plan. [Credit Limit is: 1000/- Rs]
Yesterday they barred all services without any prior notice, as my unbilled amount reached >2200Rs, in that max of 175MB I have used under GPRS plan.

From the above situation, I got to know that for using 1GB GPRS plan,
I can’t use more than 200MB of total 1GB or I need to credit the amount at the rate of 10Paise/10KB in advance which will be in thousands of Rupees.

This looks IDEA bluffing their POSTPAID customers, by charging money without providing full services....
