Idea Prepaid Mobile — auto deduct amount from account

Address:Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand

I have an IDEA prepaid number from Rudrpur. I keep getting SMS messages saying I have subscribed for something or the other THAT I HAVE NOT ACTIVATED MYSELF (example: "Monsoon Bonanza Challenge"). Subsequently, money gets deducted every day for "value added services" THAT I HAVE NOT ACTIVATED MYSELF and am not even aware of. Every time I call to make a complaint about this, my complaint is not registered saying it is an "invalid complaint" and that their "records" show that the VAS was activated by me. They keep misdirecting me to different "customer care" numbers, which either automatically get disconnected after an invalid message or are meant for totally unrelated services. The "customer care" agents also repeatedly refuse to give me information about where I could submit a written complaint about this saying "that information is unavailable". All they do is "deactivate" the service, only to send me another sms soon enough... and the whole fraud cycle starts all over again!

Idea — Deduct Amount from my Account

From 8 june, 2009 to 9 june, 2009 I lost Rs 9 from my IDEA account number [protected]. This is a prepaid number. When I call to cusmtomer care they told me that I sent SMS in roaming at night. But in reality I have not sent any message on these days from my account. I rarely used SMS service through last 3 years. I usualy prefer to call rather than SMS. When I ask to customer to stop my SMS service they refused. I asked the number on which I sent SMS as per their record but they refused to give me numbers details. I also lost Rs 26 some days ago but that time I am not sure. But when I watch my account reality comes and in two consecutive days Rs 9.00 deducted from my account. So please help me on this.

Idea Prepaid — auto deduct amount from account

dated 5.1.01 from my cell no. [protected] auto deduct amount Rs 52 after 6 days again deduct 109 from balance without any information. Suresh
Hi,
My name is Ramesha customer of idea cellar with mobile number [protected]. Raised a service request for deducting my money when I access the internet even though after 5 Rs internet package is activated.
Incident details: The 3rd of January I had activated 5 rs internet package, after successful active of the service started using the service. Used 3.41 MB of data in my 75 MB quota. Even though at first time 69.88 rs and second time 1.18 rs deducted.
For the above I had raised a ticket with idea cellular to refund on the same day and request no: 1-[protected] the resolution time given is on or before 04-Jan-2011 12.48 PM.
But till now my request is not processed and the customer care executives not responding properly on the request I had made. If I ask to connect supervisor or manager to discuss on the above matter they are putting me in hold and disconnecting after 25-30 minutes. I am so frustrated following it with you.
I never expected this kind of support from the leading cellar company like you and kindly look in to this and solve the problem ASAP. Otherwise tell me if you can’t resolve problem, I will switch to different company who can give me the better service and satisfaction.

From your frustrated customer

yes idea is deducting customers balance by providing automatic services according to their own will . its true if they continue like this they will loose all there customer although they provide very good internet speed and signal. i started using idea on my phone only for net .and keep no balance in it. EVEN my other family members have stoped using it. they are just spoilling there reputation in market.
