Dear Sir
This is regarding my online recharge through HDFC BANK Credit Card. I got my Idea Mobile No.[protected] recharged on https://www.justrechargeit.com for Rs. 49/- the said amount has been debited from my HDFC Bank Credit Card A/c, after that I received an SMS from Idea No. which is +91-[protected] which says: MRP Rs. 49.00 nat sms 750 Final NAT SMS 750 Expiry date 27/06/2012, Serv-tax 5.390, Proc_fee 43.610 Recg Cat STV. But I have not got a single penny into my mobile no. When I Complaint in your customer care centre, the tele executive says that amount will be credited into your mobile within 3-4 hours compalint no.: 1.[protected], one says that amount will be credited into your mobile witin 24 hours, one says that this service has been closed, so you won't be received any amount into your mobile no. If that service has been closed then why the amount has been debited from my credit card A/C. I have made several calls in your customer care centre but nothing has been done so far.
You are requested to do the needful at the earliest and reimburse my amount which is Rs. 49/-

Thanking you

    Hello sir,

    My idea prepaid no is [protected]. I have migrated this no from postpaid to prepaid on 12th May 2012. This no is activated on 14th May 2012 for prepaid.

    But till now incoming call is barred for this no. I called customer care a lot of times. I submitted my documents again on 23rd May 2012 to the nearest idea outlet. They told that it would be resolved within 3 days. Because of this incoming call barred, I am facing so many problems.

    If I am not able to make outgoing, I can use some other no for temporary. But incoming is barred means, It should be resolved immediately.
    I am not happy with your service.


    Kindly do the needful immediately.

    Idea Cellular — incoming barred

    I was using idea from last 4 years but one day they stopped my incoming calls. the customer care is pathetic they never get connected so went to idea center to submit docs again but,but till date my number is not activated I send 10 mail to idea care but no response and finally I have to take new number(airtel).
    my advice is to stay away from idea.

          Hi


          This is Vaibhav Goswami , My phone Number is [protected] . I applied to convert my Prepaid Connection to Post Paid Connection. Last Saturday. An executive from Vriti Info Com Visited me to collect all the required documents to process my request apart from that he also charged processing fees of Rs 275/- .


          Now its has been almost one week, my connection has not yet been changed in fact they don’t respond to my call.

          It’s really very harassing. I didn’t expect such irresponsibility from your side.

          Please take up this matter seriously.

            Dear sir/ Madam,
            my mobile number ([protected]) has been subscribed for caller tune for last some months for which the charges are deducted regularly. Just now the subscription was getting over on 24th may 2012. For which I received the sms on 21st may 2012. The charges for caller tune where deducted from my balance amount on 24th may 2012 which was rs 15/- For 90 days for which the intimation was given via sms. Then after another sms arrived saying that my subscription has been deactivated on 25th may 2012 via sms, on the same day 25th may 2012 another sms was shortly received saying that the subscription has been activated and the amount deducted is rs 249/- For 365 days without any intimation or request from the representative.
            The deduction of rs 15/- Is not a problem because that’s an official deduction periodically. But the deduction of rs 249/- From the balance is seriously a fraudulent action for which the complaint was done on the customer care, and the complaint number is sr.No. 1-[protected]. The representative clearly and shamelessly said that there is no policy of return of amount, you will get the scheme for which the amount is deducted no matter whether you like it or not.
            These is a fraud conducted knowingly, and I would like to take action against the idea cellular service from the consumer court and also would like to frame the charges against those representative who are responsible of do it. I would prefer to locate the computer on which these deduction was done and also would like to know the name of the person involved in such cheating ( normally cellular company perform these kinda deduction in numerous ways and excuses, for which they get benefitted in big amount when the users who suffer such deduction are in big numbers). Individually sometime its not a big amount but when you multiply it with number o[censored]sers who are covered under such fraud deduction, the amount can amount from some hundred to lakhs in a long period of time. This is not just a consumer related complaint, the procedure that is followed by representative on behalf of the cellular company is directly a theft ( a crime similar to pick pocketing ), hence it is subject to criminal proceedings and action under the Indian penal Code.
            Still no appropriate action has been taken from the cellular company regarding the same.
            Thanking you,

              Can anybody at idea answer my query?

              My number is [protected]
              Plan 299 economy postpaid
              Circle Delhi
              GPRS plan 98/- unlimited
              Normal Bill 700-800/-
              Bill for May 6000/-
              Usage limit at my number 1400/-
              Reason told for excessive charge=GPRS usage for "2 days"
              I had actually called up idea to turn my number into a lifetime number and stop GPRS services and exiting plan. I paid the till date bill in May for 850/- (which is 50/- more than the billed amount)
              I was told on 18th May that my plans and GPRS were cancelled. I asked them about the additional charges. They told me it would be "Prorata"....
              Now pls explain to me

              Rs 6000/- FOR TWO DAYS !!!!....DOES IT SOUND FAIR OR UNFAIR...I think it sounds ridiculous especially when I was paying just 98/- for unlimited 2G services for the whole month.

              How can idea impose such ridiculous charges when cost to company for 2 days normal GPRS usage is less than 5/-

              I will send this info to everybody across the Internet if my charges are not reversed.

                  I am using Idea prepaid chitchat connection since 2006. Now I am in abroad so I can't use the Sim properly. When I put Sim in to my mobile and it shows Sim card registration failed.
                  So I checked with Ernakulam office, they say that the connection is gone to another person one Mr.Shareef - Kannur. Last 3 week I try to contact him in his mob no [protected] which is my previous number. But still get the reply like mobile is switched off.
                  My humble request is, It is not a fancy number so you can give me back the same number to me from Mr. Shareef. As per my belief he don't want to continue with this number because he not used this number for last three week.

                  Kindly do the needful to reconnect the idea mobile connection from your end.

                  Thanks & Best Regards,

                      Sir
                      I purchased Idea NetSetter device around 2 months back and now suddenly device asks me for PUK and PIN. I got the information from customer care and entered it. It told me that the method is not allowed and i need to user System's WWAN UI to unblock the pin. I visited Idea Store, Called Idea Customer care, Contacted 198 for complaint and called 3G helpline as well and all told me that they cant help me and i need to visit idea store. Idea store people also had no knowledge on this issue and told me that they cant help me in it and i need to check with 3G support helpline. So I am in between and don't know who can help me where no one wants to help me in. My 3G device number is [protected] and my cell number is [protected], [protected].

                      Thanks

                          Dear Sir,
                          I have idea prepaid no [protected]. I am unable to understand why Idea every times activated value added services,even I never requested for the same.
                          Is it a new way to earn money from customer? Whenever we call to cust. care they use to tell that you must have requested for the same.
                          I have lost my money just for nothing.......On 22/05/2012, Idea send a message containing a URL for SaReGaMa mentioning free downloading of RD Burman songs. I opened the URL and within two minutes closed it. Immediate after that I receive the message from Idea that,

                          "Dear Customer, thank you for downloading Value_Pack from SaReGaMa. You have been charged Rs. 50"

                          In the original first SMS, Idea Co. didn't mentioned the charges of Rs.50. Idea is looting the money from Loyal Customers by misguiding them.

                          Kindly help to get rid of this kind o[censored]nwanted problems & refund my lost money.
                          Please be good at least with your loyal customers.................

                          Idea Cellular — Fraud and Harrasment

                          I took Idea Postpaid number [protected] after i received call from one of the Idea Executives. They proposed me a very good plan with very cheap call rates both STD and local. I agreed to that plan called SUPER VALUE 199.They took Rs 250 from me and took all the necessary documents and after 1 day I got a confirmation call from Idea and they told me about a totally different SUPER VALUE 199 plan. I tried to contact the people who sold me that number but none of them picked up the phone. As they had already taken my money so I took that plan from them and my number was activated .Suddenly after 6 to 7 days I received a message from Idea saying that your number is suspended due to non submission of documents. I contacted the customer service and i was told that they have not received CUSTOMER AGREEMENT FORM. But the next day i received a bill from them. When i called again i asked them if you people have not received my form?? They obviously didnt had any answers. They told me that they will forward the case to their concerned team and will get back to me. After few days i got a call from Idea saying that My number has been permanently disconnected and i will have to contact Idea Relationship center and deposit all the documents to restart the services.

                          I totally refused to do that because they can only get my information if the yhave my documents. And if they have done this without the documents then its against the regulations of TRAI. Kindly suggest me what to do as I want to sue Idea in the consumer court for giving false information and also taking away my mental peace

                              I am bearing a post paid connection of Idea Cellular limited. I was using their plan called House full plan which entitled me to use 512MB of free GPRS along with other benefits. On 11th of May, I made a request to change my bill plan to Victor Plan. It was successfully done the very next day. After that I asked to add Rs. 99 GPRS pack which entitles me to use 1GB of free data every billing cycle. It was also enabled on 13th May. After a week suddenly I received an SMS that my credit limit of 2000 Rs has been exceeded and all my outgoing calls were barred without any warning or prior notice. At that time, my GPRS usage was 400 MB, which means 600 MB is remaining as per my plan. I lodged a complaint at their customer care regarding the same and CC executive told me I can get debarred only if I pay 1600 Rs in advance !!! I was shocked and I told I haven't used the connection much to have breached my credit limit. They told they can't check unbilled details and I have to pay 1600 as advance or else I could wait till next billing cycle. After a long call they agreed to raise a request to increase credit limit to 3000 Rs. This happened on Friday and its still pending with them. Again I lodged a complaint on their website and no one responded. This is really unfortunate for a customer being loyal to Idea and staying with them for the past 4 years tenure.

                              I have been billed an additional Rs 100 on my postpaid number. I have raised a complaint against it for more than a couple of months now. All my follow ups have lead me to no solution as a result of which I decided not to pay my bill anymore. My outgoing services have been barred and I am looking ahead to sue the company.

                              Idea Cellular Ltd — Refund of advance made on taking plan & sim card

                              1. I have made a payment of Rs 240 in oct month through one of the agent of idea cellular but instead of crediting the amount in account it was wrongly credited to another number.

                              2. I informed the company about the incidence & asked them to reverse the amount but they are saying they don't have such facility & i have to make payment again or tell that another person to make payment on our behalf . They even charged Rs 100 for non payment of amount & when i tried to contact their senior manager they kept my phone on hold for more than 10min & ultimately i have to disconnect the phone.

                              3. I even tried to contact that person in whose account amount had been credited & told him to make payment on my behalf but every he just says he is out of station

                              4. Due non payment of amount they have restricted our outgoing & ingoing call & now they have sent notice of taking legal action on us.
                              Dear Sir,

                              I am holding up an idea no. [protected]. I came across an issue regarding my bill last month. I had changed my bill plan from Super Value 299 to Combo 249 plan in which 1 GB GPRS usage is free for 1 month. I got it activated on 22nd of june 2011 and there had been no intimation from Idea customer care people regarding activation of this plan, so I started using GPRS on 22nd of June 2011 itself. Now what i have seen that GPRS charges have been added to my bill for dated 22nd June 2011. When I talked to Idea customer care people regarding this problem, They were very rough to talk & replied that I should have had contacted them before started using this plan. Sir, I am sitting at the customer end & it was Idea's responsibility to intimate customers that the plan has been activated or not, not customer's responsibility to call your people for activation of services. I am attaching my bill herewith, Please look into the issue as the GPRS charges are approx. Rs. 440 for that particular date (22nd June 2011). I am not going to pay these charges as they have occured out of Idea's customer care fault.

                              Thanks & Regards

                              I am an Idea customer of two corporate numbers ([protected] and [protected]) from last one year. Till January 2011 they had generated my bill correctly. After that the started generating wrong bill for my numbers. I stopped making payment and mailed them to revise my bills but they had not revised the bills and again they generated wrong bill. Suddenly on 8th of July 2011 they had barred my all services for both the numbers. They day only O went to their regional office in Bangalore and requested them to revise the bill so I can pay. They had not released my call services. Again on 16th July I went to their office and revised my bill there and I paid all due amounts. After that also they had not released my calls. I compalind many times, I mailed them many times but till date they had not resolved the issues. I had given my feedback in TRAI also. I am really dissatisfied with the services of Idea.
                              Idea services are really dissatisfactory. GET IDEA is the wrong slogan. My comment is PLZ DONT GET IDEA.
                              Worst idea ever - to get idea - make use of MNP and switch ...any customer care service is better than idea service .
                              Mobile No:- [protected] Alternate contact No:- [protected] Date of complaint via Mail, & online on idea site Dt.3/10/11. Referring to bill invoice No:[protected] Dt. 21st Sep11 for my mobile [protected] the bill amount charged is abnormal i.e. Rs. 12402/- for bill cycle of 21st Aug11 to 20th Sep11. I have requested for GPRS 49 plan on 23rd Aug 11 having communication ID[protected], after gone through the bill details the GPRS charged without considering the same for period of 24th Aug to 30th Aug. Yet I have not received any mail reply from IDea since 3rd Oct''11 & on 3rd Oct Idea representative told on call that they have communicated me on 23rd Aug 11 that my number came in CUG plan & the GPRS service cannot activated on my number, but such communication is received on my mobile & I used GPRS after 24 hours of the request. Idea even not inform @ the the bill is exceeding credit limit while usage. I request you to please check and help me out as this high bill will be so tough for me. I need your kind support in resolving this. Please extend your cooperation & revert.
                              DEAR SIR
                              I AM A CLASS ONE GAZETTED OFFICER & HAVE BEEN PROVIDED MOBILE PHONE IN A CUG NO. [protected]. I SUBSCRIBED TO IDEA CELLULAR PLAN FOR Rs98/- WHICH GIVES ME 2GB OF INTERNET USAGE ON MY MOBILE FOR 30DAYS. THE SAME WAS DULY ACTIVATED BY THE SERVICE PROVIDER.

                              HOWEVER I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THAT IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER I WAS CHARGED Rs 4974.20 TOWARDS A NET USAGE OF ALLEGEDLY 2345566.27 OF GPRS USAGE(UNITS NOT DISCLOSED).

                              I WROTE TO THE SERVICE PROVIDER (IDEA CELLULAR) BUT RECIEVED A CURT REPLY THAT THE BILL WAS CORRECT & THAT I SHOULD PAY UP. I REQUESTED FOR CLARIFICATIONS BUT WAS DENIED.

                              WHEN I CHECKED MY ITEMISED BILL I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND VERY HIGH VOLUMES O[censored]SAGE AT AWKWARD TIMES. e.g. ON 11TH NOV 2011 BETWEEN 3PM TO 4.21PM INTERNET USAGE TO THE EXTENT OF APPROX Rs 2500/- HAS BEEN CHARGED TO ME. AS I AM AN EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDER & HAVE TO BE AVAILABLE INSTANTLY ON MY MOBILE I NEVER LET IT BE AWAY FROM MY POSSESSION AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY. HENCE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEONE ELSE MISUSING MY MOBILE IS CERTAINLY NOT THERE, ESPECIALLY AT THIS TIME BECAUSE DURING THIS TIME I AM BUSY IN THE HOSPITAL & AM CARRYING MY MOBILE IN MY POCKET.

                              I SPOKE TO RSM, Mr RAJESH FROM IDEA CELLULAR, IN PERSON TO PRESENT MY CASE. HOWEVER, HE EVEN REFUSED TO TELL THE UNITS OF THE USAGE AS HE HIMSELF DID NOT KNOW.

                              I AM BEING FORCED TO PAY FOR INTERNET USAGE THAT I HAVE NOT DONE & AM NOT EVEN BEING CLARIFIED AND PROVED THAT WHERE I HAVE USED THIS DATA..
                              Hi,

                              My mobile no: [protected]

                              I am using idea postpaid plan, activated 1 GB 3G plan for Rs 349.
                              I have used only 784 MB data, this should come under my 1 GB data. But they have charged Rs 4362.02 + service tax.
                              When i have asked for clarification, there is no proper response from customer care and they have barred my call services.


                              Regards,
                              Naveen. N

                              With deep disappointment with Idea services, i am writing to you my issue: This might be the last step to resolve my issue, cos I have tried talking to everyone out there from Idea form customer care to the person who installed the sim services, bu no one cloud help : Am gonna change my all my numbers thru MNP to any of the services if this is not solved this time

                              I have 99 Govt plan and we have four sims on my fathers name: mohammed abdul kareem: All these are under same name and same plan and we are supposed to have the free calls within the group:

                              Unfortunately, I have been getting call charges to and fro the numbers within the group: This has been happened for so long: I called customer care and told them my issue and they took my request and told me that it will be resolved and they will take request to refund the amount that i have paid unnecesarily within the free group.

                              There on, i have been continuously calling customer care and one or the other people take new requests, and then do nothing: one of the told me that it has to be resolved from the peson who we purchased SIMS and the installation done: i tried with that Guy as well: Mr Murali Contact number: [protected] . he told me he will check and get it done in 3 days and after continuous follow up he deny taking my calls and gave me one number whom he said was his superior number : Mr venkat: [protected] : this number is not working;

                              I again called up customer care and talked to some supervisor and he told he cant helop and i have to mail tto this mail d: hence am wrtiing this mail

                              please look in to this and act immediately: I dont want to waste any more money and effort with the useless bunch of people Idea has hired who doesnt know anything on the domain they are working.Let me know if you cant so that I can choose alternative service: dont waste my time anymore

                              Regarding Wrong billing without any action you have closed the Ticket. I don't know the reason. There is no answer regarding activation of GPRS without any request. Why you have activated GPRS. You have charges SMS charges each @Rs.20/- for 4 SMS i.e. total of Rs.80/-. What is that I don't know. What is gamepinda20. You have charged Rs.20/- for each and charged as 4 SMS. Without knowing the reason I don't pay this month bill and I will proceed legally. Why you have activated GPRS without any request for [protected] Number and [protected] Number. Was I Requested. What is the answer from you. You have charged Rs.98.98 as Internet Charges for [protected] and Rs.63.08 for [protected]. Why should I pay as there is no request from my side. I am having every proof and I will further proceed to consumer forum / Court for justice. As per your wish you are charging as there is no downloads from my phones.

                              Reply within 2 days otherwise I will move to consumer forum immediately.

                              ONE OF THE VICTIM OF IDEA CELLULAR
                              I have been using 2 mobilne Numbers 1) [protected] 2) [protected] Post paid Connection. For both the mobiles without any requests they have activated GPRS and Charged Rs.98.98 and Rs.63.47 as Internet Usage Charges. I dont know the reason why they have activated GPRS. Previously without any request when they activated the GPRS and I put a request to deactivate the same as I am not interested using internet service in Mobile Phone. Again why they have activated GPRS I Dont know. I made so many complaints to customer service but no response from them. Since 16th August, 2014 I am writing complaints every day bs.ut no response is received from them. The service part of the Idea is very worst. For mobile No.[protected] they have charged Rs.80/- as SMS charges. For each SMS they have charged as Gamepinda20 SMS charges and for each Rs.20/- and 4 SMS charges as gamepinda20. Total they have charges Rs.80/-+ service Tax. What is game pinda20 I dont know. I do not use the above said mobile phone. it is used for incoming purpose only. The Internet charges and SMS charges have to be reversed. The service part is very worst.
                              I have discontinued an idea connection last year as I was not using the service and had cleared all overdues.

                              I was not in the country and so did not need the service anymore. The company however still kept sending me bills and even though have on many occasions informed them of their mistake no corrective action being taken by them.

                              As I am not in the country I can mosty correspond through mails but they are unwilling to accept their mistake and close case.

                              Below is brief of a conversation with them

                                    I had recharged my IDEA mobile with twice for Rs.50 online at www.paytm.com. The Customer Care people of IDEA first asked to wait for 48-72 hrs so I did so. After the time period has elapsed, now they say that your money shall be refunded and all but no such thing happens. Sometimes, they also say that no recharge has been done on your mobile, so we cannot help you. I have tried to contact the Customer Care people at their complaint no 198 but this has been of no use. I want them to credit that Rs.50+50=Rs.100 in my account immediately.
                                    Date of Recharge: 17th Sep 2011 and 21st Jan 2012
