[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — Deliberate attempt to Cheat and misguide

Address:Pune, Maharashtra

I had put my phone in safe custody and my complaint number with Idea Cellular is[protected]. Problem are as follows.

1. I had kept my phone in safe custody, however it was abruptly removed. So i term it as breach of security, and when i am asking for an explanation they are sending irrelevant replies to my question's to confuse and buy time and to let go the matter.

2. There was excess amount charged due to the same, and when i asked them , the same has been reversed, but according to me that is fraud and they were trying to overcharge money by knowing the fact that it was wrong, hence amounts to cheating/ stealing.

3. When i am asking for an explanation and apology, it was again not answered with specific and no opology provided unless i followed up multiple times, so according to me this is unprofessional behaviour from Idea cellular.

4. I have sent mails and letter to senior Appellate Authority and they keep asking me to talk to each other in India, which means individual at the highest level in Idea, lack credibility and are only passing the buck.

5. On asking questions to the team, i am been threatened by Idea that my phone will be disconnected.

I would like to understand what actions can be taken against them to sort this and get me an appropriate compensation.

I am having similar painful experience with Idea .

On 23 July, I on advise of customer care executive activated Rs 05 plan which she told me is having following features :-

- 50 mb 2g data.
- 24 hrs connectivity.
- Automatic renewal after 24 hrs.
- Process to activate.
I downloaded approx 35 mb data till late night and afterward deactivated the service using *800*222# switch and closed my packet data connection.

On 24 July at 0422 hrs I received sms from IDEA that Rs 241 have been deducted from my main account for browsing 11.2 mb data.

I called customer care executive 4 times, I received 4 different reasons each times which are :-

. The deduction is due to some phone calls I had made.
- The deduction is due to downloading as data plan covers only browsing not downloading.
- The deduction is due to termination of data plan after 1200 pm.
- The deduction is due to 3g data usages as 2 g data pack cant be utilized in a 3 g connection.

I reported the matter to Idea and I receive following reply:-
I downloaded first from my 2g pack and afterwards I activated my 3g zero balance pack. Which is a point black lie and they are covering their tracks.

The latest cover-up . Idea guys come up with two new cock & bull versions _

1. Deduction is because data used on roaming in Chattisgarh, (never possible since i never leave my place for 4 kms or more whereas Chattisgarh is 400 kms far.
2. Deduction is because I crossed 50 mb limit . False as I calculated my download never cross 30 mb leave alone 50 mb.

This speaks of the status of company which is operating like Gangs of Wasepur. They are cheaters and thugs; in my experience one should go with BSNL of Airtel as they are big companies and has some business ethics.
