Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

Sir, I was using my docomo number [protected] since last 3 years. I took Mobile number portability and changed my service provider to Idea. I submitted my passport (made before 3 months from bangalore), pan card and DL as address proof to Idea. But they just told that your address is not verified and blocked my 3 years old number. I was using this number for all my day to day activities. I am very frustrated now. My number is blocked since last 15 days. I am not able to understand what can I do. I went to Idea cellular office in HSR layout bangalore more than 10 times but no one is helping. I told them if they are not able to portable my number to idea then please give my old connection. But nothing happened.

My one simple question from Idea, if the Police can reach to my home for address verification during passport only before 3 months, I am living at same address, why Idea did not. They never called on my alternate number, and telling that the address is not verified.


Please HELP ME..

Thanks and Regards

Pravin Kumar

      Idea Cellular Limited — Deduction of money

      Last 28th [august, 2009] i realised that idea cellular limited deducted some money from my prepaid account.

      Idea Cellular — Deducting the money

      HI,

      From past few days I had saw daily my 5 Rs has been deducted from my account balance. So I called Customer Care and ask why this has been deducted. They say that the Merzdes Jeeto Contest has been activated on my cellular phone. This was not activated from my side. This was second time I had face this problem.
      Is this a new business tag they are using on customer. There are many user who doesn’t know anything and because to that they earn the money. I would request you please take strict action against this companies.

            Address: Surat, Gujarat

            HI,
            My name is Vishal Brahmbhatt ( [protected])and I applied for MNP from Vodafone postpaid to Idea prepaid as I am fed up with Vodafone network congestion nowadays on 9 May 2013. I submitted duly filled application at Parth enterprise who is idea customer care at Adajan , Surat on 9 may 2013 as well as I paid my due bills with Vodafone. I waited for one week and went to idea care but they said it is still under process. After waiting another one week , I went there as idea call centre do no have my mnp status. But they informed me after two weeks that my id proff photo copy is not clear and I need to again feel up form and generate new UPC as old one expired due to this third class idea guy. I gave all and waited for another one week but they said now they want one more photo and submitted application form. I got one sms from Vodafone that they rejected my mnp request due to invalid UPC code so I again went to idea care and ask them. They again forwarded my request to Vodafone. After three days, on 8th June 2013, I got Vodafone message that my mnp request rejected due to non clearing last month dues though I called customer care on6th june only and settle my dues against my deposit of Rs.3000/- which I paid in 1997 which they agreed. Despite of it. they rejected so I paid my May 2013 bill on 9th June 2013 through www.vodafone.in and paid Rs.433. They I asked Vodafone to clear my mnp request and now they said that my request rejected due to wrong upc code and now they asked me to re generate same third time.

            So it means I am fool who do same again and again and will be not get proper service both from idea and Vodafone as they it seems idea guys are bribed by Vodafone to not accept or process any port out reuest from Vodafone.

            I want immediate solution both from idea and Vodafone or else I will move to consumer court and seek redressal.

              I recharged my prepaid mobile no [protected] for Rs 111 (bachat pack). I got 'recharge was sucessful' message on my comp screen, i found that balance from the my sbi a/c was also deducted by the same amount. But i havn't got any balance added on my mobile phone. I have every proof of recharge transaction. I got www.ideacellular.com's screenshot of recharge sucessful and sbi a/c summary from where we can see that amount has been paid to Idea for recharge. This is very disgusting experience for me, so please help me to get my mobile phone recharge by the Rs 111 pack.

I contacted the customer care executive namely, SUDHIR but he completely regret about the activation and misbehave in a bad way with me. He said that there was no recharge has been made on that day and you are lying to me. I said him that I will go to the consumer forum, but on that he said whatever you want to do you are free to do.

                        Idea — Recharge fraud

                        My Idea account was suspended on Jan 01 2010. I called the Idea customer care on the same issue and they asked me to recharge for Rs. 17. After recharge, it wasnt shown in my account and they said it takes 24 hours for activation. After 10 days of calling and talking to customer care, I was asked to recharge for Rs. 60(associative name Vidya : Date: Jan 12 2010) after which they promised back my Rs. 17 too. Now after 2 days of frequent calling, they are asking for another recharge stating none of the recharge is shown in their server. When I ask them to connect to their supervisor, they cut the call( This happened thrice today : Date: Jan 14 2010). I also have a balance amount of Rs. 181.40 and not able to get my incoming calls.

                              I had applied to get my number ported from Idea to Tata Docomo on 25th of May. I received a message from DOCOMO on May 27th saying that my request for MNP has been registered. It has been about 15 days but still the process hasn't got completed. When I contacted the local office of Tata Docomo, I was informed that my number hasn't been released by your company because of which it hasn't been added to the Tata Docomo Network. As I don't have any outstanding bills of any kind, your company has no reason to block the transfer of my number. I don't know the reason for not allowing my number to port. Hence I request you to do the needful so that I can at least leave your company on a happy note after suffering numerous problems during my nearly 4 years association with your company.

                              Idea Cellular — Number Barring without reason

                              I was Idea's Postpaid customer and I converted it to prepaid number. My number is [protected], I have already submitted my documents many times. After every three to four days Idea barrs my services without any reasons, I have already provided them my all the documents many times. Idea cellshop guys say that they have already submitted and they do not know.when i call call centre they say we have not got the documents. I think that they are doing fraud with the Ex-postpaid customers and ahrassing them in all the possible manners.

                              Please help me!!

                                Idea — SMS charge

                                Today(16/10/2009) is not any special day to charge sms 1Rs/message. actually when i pressed *121# in mobile in that My tariff option its given as 18th and 19th sms will charged to 1Rs/message. but without informing they charged 1Rs/message. so, we lost money to send advance wishes to our family member.
                                can this problem solve it in future?

                                Hi, I am the Idea Post Paid customer . I was happy about this service. But now i am really very disappointed. because of the discrepancies in the postpaid bill for the period[protected] to[protected]. I am charged unnecessary for the SMS- MT charges. This month i got charge of Rs.50. I have no intension to send such messages which would costing me Rs.50 I called the customer care regarding the same. Even your executives dont have any idea regarding those charges. I havent sent any sms from my side and I Havent done any activations from my side. 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 is [protected] I called up customer care 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. Quick reply or action is expected. Hoping for your best support. Thanks and regards Vinod Gupta - Ahmedabad

                                  I gave a portability request & the very next day I got a call from idea , they promised me to give me a better network & Internet services , if i would stick with idea
                                  They are still not fulfilling their promise !
                                  From past 8 months ,I kept complaining the idea care about its network ,but there's still no solution
                                  Yesterday they have deductedRs.7/- from my account
                                  I gotta know when I received this text

                                  "You have recharged Rs 7.00. Enjoy benefit of valid till the expiry date 10.07.2013."

                                  & I don't know the reason behind it.
                                  Idea people think we are fools so we should let this go !!!
                                  Noways, idea has become one of the worst network provider ,
                                  Personally ,never expected this from idea, I always thought idea was the best , but not anymore,
                                  it sucks!!
                                  The Internet speed at my residence is very low
                                  I've complained about this also
                                  & it's still the same!!
                                  Idea is not taking it's responsibility
                                  I've given them a year of time almost
                                  But it's still the same, very disappointing
                                  The other network performance is very good when compared to idea
                                  So , I've thought that I will switch to some other network if there's no improvement this month.

                                  I've also attached the image ,in which the idea's Internet speed can be described!!

                                    There are a series of complaints that I have raised in the last one month on the issue of CHARGES in the post paid bill for Ring Back Tones feature. However, without any proper response, the issues are closing by the customer care team.

                                    Issue: Every month (in the last 12 months or more than that) there is a monthly charge for RING BACK TONE (caller tunes).
                                    1. I have NOT subscribed for this service.
                                    2. Call me to my number now itself and check if there is any service that YOU are providing on my number.
                                    3. So, without providing any service that you are charging me for the Ring Back Tone feature.
                                    4. Though I raised a complaint, without fixing the issue, the complaint was closed.

                                    Idea — idea mobile bill and service

                                    wrote the complaint 100 times to idea customer service. so I am copy pasting the complaint.
                                    I honestly advice you dont go for idea. I am 110% sure that you will suffer if you go for it

                                    Hi,

                                    I am using Idea connection. My numbers are xxx and xxx.I have below queries with my account:

                                    1. The bill you have sent (attached) has due date clearly as Aug-5. And my outgoing got disconnected on Aug-3. I want to know the reason. Also in the latest bill which you have sent, you charged me Rs50 for late payment. I want it to be reversed.
                                    If you can show me the bill you have sent to my mail id which shows last date as july-19th. i will pay you 1 lakh Rs.

                                    2. I am in a corporate offer. My two numbers xxx and xxx are in same group. But if you check the bill you are charging for the calls between these two numbers. I want this rectified as soon as possible. I called 10 times to the customer care but the problem is still not resolved

                                    I called the customer care and I am very disappointed and frustrated with the response. I am completely regretting my self for talking your service.
                                    Take these issues seriously and on top priority. Other wise I am planning to take this issue with the higher management and register a complaint with TRAI. And I am also ready to take action legally for the mental pressure you have caused me.

                                    Also I talked to a person called kishore wake from customer care. he promised me that my problems will be resolved in 24hours.

                                    Thanks,
                                    Abhishek

                                      Hello, I subscribed to Idea's 3G Datacard services on May 14th and was getting pretty good speed for about two weeks. Since last Monday, the speed has been hovering around 140kbps and when I called customer center they advised me to get an Idea Netsetter and not use any other unlocked 3G datacard device. I went and bought a new netsetter device in a couple of hours and still have the same problem. I called Customer center again and went through their primitive technical troubleshooting( Network> manual search> delete cookies etc) which I have already done thousand times with no success. They filed a case number SR# C1-[protected] and told me that the local area bandwidth would be looked at in the next few days. But, as soon as I got the case number, I got another email saying the case was closed to my surprise. I used Airtel 3G Datacard before and it was really good for 2 years when I was in Gurgaon. After talking to some people here in Dehradun, I decided to go with Idea and two phone SIMs and one datacard much to my dismay. The Customer Center and authorized dealer of Idea Cellular her play deceiving games. CS sends you to the authorized customer care center and Customer care center asks you to call 12345. I will wait for a few more days and if the slow speed issue continues, I will have to take all my business to another service provider.
