[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — Cheating

Address:Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra

I had bought and SMS bonus pack worth Rs.35/- for whch they were supposed to give me 34 SMS everyday on 22nd August. I got the activation confirmation through SMS. But surprisingly they charged me seperately for this inspite of SMS recharge for more than 2 days. On complaining they promised me REVERT BACK THE WRONGLY CHARGED AMOUNT. TILL DATE THEY HAVE NOT DONE SO. now Since Wednesday, September 7th 2011 again they are charging 0-60p per SMS where my SMS pack os still valid. On complaining they again assured me no to worry and that the wrong charges will be refunded. I got the wrong charges confirmation thru SMS saying its resolved but it is still not resolved. On complaining they said it will be resolved by 3-02 p.m on 9-9-2011. But till now it is not resolved. They continue charging 0-60paise for every SMS. Now they don't even entertain my phone call for complains (Everytime I try its been automated switched to saying "all our executives are busy". Pls help because this is a pure case of cheating and indirect way of making money through unethical means.

On 14th they called me and told me that problem got solved but when I checked *457# it was not showing, after that again I called to them they told me I have to recharge again to get the facility I told them clearly that I had already recharged for Rs.45.00 I need for the same they told me on 17th you will get call and problem will be solved, today Mr.Kamlesh call me and told me same story. till date I was interacting with Mr.Gouss, Mr.Karthik, Mr.Antony, Ms.Sweety etc.

Idea Cellular Limited — MISSED CALL FROM THE NO. 09951774529

THIS NO. IS GIVING ME MISSED CALLS AND BLANK CALLS FROM MANY DAYS.AFTER REPEATED REQUEST ALSO THIS PERSON IS NOT LISTENING.
I am very much disappointed with the worst service that IDEA is providing.I bought Idea Netsetter couple of days back, I was promised a minimum speed of 150kbps, but unfortunately I am getting only 40-50kbps, I have approached Customer care guys few times, but no proper responsible answer.

I would request IDEA guys to take proper action and need to focus more on the customer satisfaction rather than simple selling instruments. One more disappointing news is that we can not return this instrument back to IDEA guys.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I got cheating from idea representative for international roaming charges.

Before to go on International roaming to Russia on 14th jan 2011 i have book my post paid number for international roaming for which Idea representative said 70 rupees/min for all incoming and out going calls plus they took 3000 rupees as a security deposit.

Just in 4 days during my journey to Russia they block my phone with the message of 13000 rupees bill for total 43 min. but as per 70 Rupees/min my bill must be 3010 only .

after getting printed bill i have seen that they have nowhere charged me 70 rupees/min and charges were extremely high like 290 rupees/nim and other different charges per only me 19 callscalls.

i went to Idea office for this issue but they said charges were differing as per the Russian network providers so you must pay this,but before to go they said 70 rupees/min for all calls when i was asking about the international roaming charges for out going and incoming charges.i explained for what charges they have promised me which they have never charged but they were keep on telling me to pay this amount,which was impossible to pay for me,then finally i stopped using their services.

now after almost 1.6 years i am getting calls from recovery agents which are harassing me and my relative and friends so i am the victim of fraud done by Idea cellular please help me regarding this bill which is totally unfair to me.

my phone number was:-[protected]
my email ID- adityav.[protected]@gmail.com
Idea sub branch, Yuvan Enterprises, kamakshi palya, Bangalore, branch this branch used tele marketeers to call n offered me fancy numbers to take up post paid connection from them, they send a executive my home, help me fill up Idea post paid application n collected xerox copies of my relevant documents n Rs 400 for one connection as deposit, I took 3 connections n paid Rps 1200, their executive promised it will be activated after address verification done, I requested a receipt, he declined as he said he did not carry one at that moment. till date no one came, went to the branch Yuvan enterprises, they say this executives who collected the cash n application not working with them anymore n the branch executive by the name of Ajay, said since we don&#039;t have your applications here, we can&#039;t help you n ask me to make a police complaintor report to the head office. They don&#039;t seem to take any responsibilities, they admit that it was their staff who did this, but can&#039;t do anything about it... I think this is a scam n every one working there is glove in hand, from their body language n attitude which i noticed while complaining about this incident.
Dear Sir/Madam
My name is Asha Hebbar, my husband and I took 3 connections in February n paid Rs1200 in total, Rs400 for each connection.
we have submitted id proofs n photo graphs, the executive gave us sims n said it will be activated upon verification. till date no connection activated. the following are the numbers allotted to us,

1. [protected]
2. [protected]
3. [protected]

I think we have been cheated by idea executives offering us such fancy numbers and collecting deposits. The executives are from one of the my idea show room in Kamakshi Palya, Yuvan Enterprises. We want to the show room n they declined that they received our applicants, but they acknowledge that the executive contacted us and collected the application and deposits was working with them earlier.
We believe this is a scam cheating people using the name of Idea cellular.
Will Idea cellular take action on this and see to it that their sub agents don&#039;t cheat the public.
