      I had recently ported to idea from airtel bysubmitting all my documents. And took 1 week to get the sim and another 2 days to get service started. After the long wait, the service finally started only to get stopped again today. My outgoing services have been blocked. I called up your support guy. He said some documents are missing and i should call the person who gave me the sim.
      Your agent, nilima ([protected]) who had ported me to idea, does not pick up my calls
      I was not given any intimation about this and my services stopped abruptly.
      This is the service we get in india, no accountability, pathetic customer service no value for customer problems.

      I am going to report this to consumer forum\court with very little hope that some action will be taken.

        Please note that against our mobile no.[protected], there is un accounted charges or rs.342/- when we have called to customer care of idea cellular they said number 055315 is a astrology no. And on 12 july 2017 some body called from your no to this no an around 4 am and 17 july 2017 around 4.30 pm and speak for 35 minutes and 3 minutes respectively, so this is the charges for the same. Rs.9/minute and charges are correct.

        But when we have tried to call this no. To check whether they are saying is correct or not and what we found is that no.055315 is in correct.

        Calling to a incorrect no. We have to pay rs.342/- + gst charges extra, where no communication has done.

        Please suggest us what to do. My communication mobile no.+91-[protected]

          Dear OLX team,

          Thank you for your response.

          I know that you are not in a part of money dealings. I just have posted the add shot in the idea cellular complaints to take their help to find that person details.

          I cannot take any move towards legal because i know that our legal department will ask so much amounts to solve it.. rather filing complaint it would be better to be silent. I can bare the cheating of Rs.3000 but when i choose legal path i have to spend more amount. And i am not of that much capable. that is why i kept clam.

          do me a favor if you can please try to find that person details. If it is not possible design olx as much as protective because we have so much of trust on it.

          I have posted my complaint in that website to aware people about these type of people.

            Dear sir,

            Sub: account no.[protected]

            It has been more than 6 months since we have shifted to idea from vodafone and since then we are getting wrong bill on every month on some or the other number. Every month we have to give request and then you waive off the amount.

            When you say that in the 349 plan there is 1gb data p/ day + unlimited data similar to what jio is offering, then why are you making un-necessary data charges over and above this? Why should you charge us then extra when you commit about the plan.

            In this country where we have jio who takes 399+99 for 84 days and offers 1gb high speed + unlimited data, why should one stick with you and wait for you to harass us with this huge bills. Is this what we expect from esteemeed brands of birla group.

            Now you have debarred our outgoing calls, may i ask why? When we are paying the amount to you every month then why have you done so. We have given our entire office/ business numbers to you, have we done some mistake? You charge us wrong and then you disconnect our numbers? Are you going to pay the loss of business to us?

              My mobile number is [protected]. Last month i opted out from idea to vodafone through mnp. But vodafone messaged me that clear all dues of idea to active vodafone. So i cleared all dues and paid excess rs. 500.00 than the invoice and because of this my vodafone number activated. But thereafter they have raised the outstanding amount of rs. 2912.47 agaist some kind of data pack pro-ration charge of rs. 2300.00 which i have never activated.
              It is done with a clear prejudice. Idea is a cheater amd fraud company.
              Please do the needful against this.

              do you allow MNP without clearing your outstanding dues. I received a message from IDEA before MNP that you clear your pending dues to enable MNP and so i did.

              then from where did this amount come.

              Your company is a fraud

                Dear idea,
                You don't have an idea how much problem i m facing due to your poor 4g data service in mangaon, raigad maharashtra.

                It's been 6 month i hv been part of idea as consumer but i must say such pathetic service i have never received from any telecom company.

                Also, when i'm trying to register complaints with ivr i hv never got anyone on phone. Twice my phone disconnected due to busy cc service.

                Hope you resolve my problem asap. Or else you will be out of my phone forever that's only i can do now. Rest of other...

                Improve your services or get out of my phone??

                  Hi team,

                  I had called from my idea number [protected] regarding a small clarification of why rs 3 got deducted from my main balance. But customer support has kept me waiting for long time.

                  I waited for around 50 mins then i immediately called from another no, to get details of customer support person. Sunanda (Senior manager) mumbai centre, had received call from another mobile, while earlier call was still on hold, but she refused to give her details, as that lady belongs to a different centre.

                  I suspect she has been intimidated that, an escalated call is in progress, against her, that's why she disconnected the call and the call lasted for around 1 hr 15 mins, while i was still speaking to senior manager.

                  Now, i want to know is this the kind of service which idea provides and wants to flourish/prosper in telecom sector. If customer time is not important for the company, please declare it to trai.
                  I had literally wasted my weekend, just to get clarification for rs 3 issue. Has the company standards droped to such pitty level. I feel as if idea is exploiting customer sentiments and has no ethics of doing business.

                  Is this the kind of professionalism that idea adhere to? Whats the benefit of training that has been given to candidates? I need strict and appropriate action on this matter.

                  Regards,
                  Amanpreet singh

                        I got it done from idea c-scheme store - jaipur on 03 aug but on 31 aug, call's and data usages start charing from my main balance amount. I called up idea call centre 12345 on 31 aug & 01 sept, but didn't get a convincing amount and call centre asked me to contact the local store. The call centre was too rude over phone calls.
                        I went to local store c-scheme jaipur on 01 sept and they logged a complaint[protected] and they said it will resolve by 02 sept, but on 02 sept at 1900 hrs i got call from idea call centre that my 443 recharge was done only for 28 days and need to log a fresh complaint.

                        I don't know why it is happening, and no one taking the responsibility.
                        To whom i contact?
                        How will take the responsibility of this?

                          I have taken two (Post paid) sim cards from idea customer centre, neco garden, viman nagar, one for me and another one for my wife.

                          I had asked them specifically to give me a rs.199 plan which i can afford on a monthly basis.
                          Instead of giving me the rs.199 plan, they gave me the sim with plan of rs.499 (Which i never wanted).
                          When the first bill came, then only i came to know that they have cheated me the plan which i have not asked for.
                          When i went to them with the complaint, they told me that it is only rs.199 plan, and they would correct it by evening (2 months back).
                          I realized that it is done for more than a month, i thought of approaching them again.
                          But to my surprise, the store was closed down.
                          For more than a month, i was trying whether they would open the store (It is closed permanently).
                          Before 15-20 days i had approached another customer care centre, which is located on the ground floor of the royal towers, viman nagar, pune 411014.
                          They told me that, your number [protected] and [protected] are already disconnected, so that you do not have to pay anything against the bill.
                          Then, recently, i have started receiving messages from idea cellular ltd, telling that if you do not pay the bill, they will take legal action against me.
                          In the meanwhile i have paid a sum of rs. 600 at the customer care centre, royal tower, viman nagar, pune 411014 for cancelling both the sim numbers.
                          On 26.08.2017, i had been to the same centre and enquired about the same. I was told that, if you pay a sum of rs.1210, your connection would be cancelled. I agreed to that because i do not want any nonsense act following me. (I gave a letter on the same day for cancelling both the numbers: [protected] and [protected]). They told me that the [protected] is already disconnected, so you have to pay only for the number-[protected], which i did.
                          Now, i am receiving messages from them saying i have to pay rs.1810 for the number -[protected], not only that, they used to call more than 10 times a day asking for the payment.

                          Please help me with some solid suggestions, and help people who are becoming prey to these types of regular harassment by companies (Which are meant for service and not for harassing or mental torture for their own benefit).

                          Hope, you will do the needful.

                          Thanks and regards,

Sms says animation was downloaded from nazara, but i have not downloaded any animation, i didn't even open any site. I talked to customer care 12345, but he didn't even try to listen my issue, he was forcing me to accept his opinion that i have downloaded that animation. I want my money back.

                                  Address: 781039

                                  I had recently upgraded to an idea 4g sim from idea 3g sim.

                                  There is some unknown set of strings that i keep receiving from number 58595 every morning around 7.30 to 7.40 a. M. They follow some sequence like " p#3&%^12!*&... " and then the chain of voicemail notification starts.

                                  I searched for help regarding cbc flash message and all i know is to send stop to this number (58595).

                                  I have already done that (Sent "stop" to 58595) and received a message back that says something like "dear user. We have received your request to stop cbc flash which will proceed soon." even after this, the irritating voicemail message continues to come.

                                  The voicemail notification is utterly irritating and keeps popping up every 15-20 seconds.

                                  I also called idea customer care and they replied that they have nothing to do with such flash messages. How can you not know someone who broadcasts flash messages using your network?

                                  Their customer service is pathetic, even when you select "english" as your mode of communication, you are routed to a service agent that only knows assamese and does not understand english or hindi. Yuck!

                                  It is not the first time that someone is complaining about this issue. Same complaint has been launched on this forum here : HTTPs://WWW.CONSUMERCOMPLAINTS.in/idea-cellular-cbc-flash-message-c1011974 (This thread is 3 years old!)

                                  Another website also reports the same problem from a number of other users is here HTTPs://WWW.unp.me/f183/stop-idea-flash-messages-303752/

                                  Companies like idea cellular which take up peace of mind of their customers, should be sacked in courts for such a pathetic customer service. Of all the turnovers they have every day from customers, it hardly takes a fraction of that amount to set up services that receive complaints and address them quickly.

                                  Believe me, i am already up for a port to a different network provider, if this issue is not resolved by this # company!

                                  My idea number is +91-[protected] and i am a student of iit guwahati, assam.

                                  Hey # idea! Do not advise me to reach to a center in guwahati city to get this complaint resolved. Commuting to main city takes around 1 hour (22 km) from my college and everyone's time is precious, isn't it?

                                  Hi Simranjeet, already did that. It said "Stopping Data notification". Pressed OK after that.

                                  Turned off Cell Broadcast.

                                  Turned off Emergency Broadcast.

                                  Turned off WAP push notifications.

                                  Swapped SIM cards.

                                  Restarted my mobile.

                                  Tried SIM in two different handsets, one of Motorola and other of Samsung,

                                  Yet, the problem remains.

                                  Idea you beauty!

                                  I called your customer care. They said, they will note down the problem in detail and then raise a ticket.

                                  Customer agent: "Sir, tell us the message that you receive ?"

                                  Me: "Sir, daily at 7.30-7.40 a.m. around, I receive this message : p#3&%^12!*&...
                                  Ma'am, can you please repeat the message that you have noted down till now?

                                      I have been using the idea network for a very long time. I use the 1gb per day plan for 28 days (Rs303). But, for the last 1-2 months, i have heard other idea customers say that they have a better option for rs404/rs397, where we get 84gb data for 84 days. When i contacted the customer care regarding the issue, they simply said i am not eligible for the offer. They never said on what basis, i am denied the offer. They say they don't know much about it as the decisions are taken by higher authority. This is really disappointing as it seems to be an unfair action. I humbly request you to look into the matter.
