Hi, i ported my sim from JIO to VI ON 8th feb, now it has been 4 days but my sim is not getting activate, when i call on 59059, it says "this number is only for tele verification" and after that call gets cut without saying any word.
I think porting to VI from JIO is bad decision of mine.
Thay says it takes 3 days, and now it has been 4 days.

            My Vi number is [protected]. On 6th february 2022, at 9:45 A.M, an amount of Rs. 15 was deducted from my main balance. This is wrongful balance deduction.
            As per TRAI regulations any telecom service provider can not deduct balance without reason and without consent of the customer.
            I request you to process the refund immediately.

                I have recharged with idea international roaming pack with a validity of 7days and i was promised 120mins/day and 7gb of free data out of which i got 7gb free data only. My outgoing was barred on the 2nd day
                After which i have been calling idea and complaining to which i received a whatsapp from some customer executive who asked about the problem and simply said OK and stopped replying. After 3 days i.e on the 6th day i received another whatsapp stating he is customer executive assigned and when i shared screenshots with him of the previous chat he also stopped calling. Such a pathetic and poor customer service. Wont recommend anyone to use IDEA for international roaming as they simply do false promises while recharging.

                        My sim is deactivated without any reason only in this month I had recharged rs 50 instead of regular packs...do idea or VI need rent for using sim cards now ...is this the way they provide service to your old customer...it was not even like my sim was not used for 3 months or more ...so do you people directly deactivate the sim of alternative customer for fun... How trouble some it can be for a person if you deactivate without any reasons...is this satisfied service...if so ...then I don't have good feedbacks even after been an old customer of idea ...

                                    I was using the idea Vodafone connection since 12 years and everything was working fine. BUT on Jan 13th 2022, the Internet speed is reduced to 2G and no signals anymore. I called customer service and also confirmed I am in excellent network coverage area.
                                    NOTE: I am living in the same house since many years, my never experience this 2G speed issue. Both my idea Vodafone numbers stopped receivin 4g since last week only, and speed is now only 2G . Some issues happened within the Vodafone tower in my area and customer care does not want to help.

                                    In spite of multiple follow ups, Vodafone could not give me a answer or reslove my issue. I recently recharged my phone for 1 year, I need refund of my amount (1790 rupees) so I can cancel and switch on to a different network.
                                    See message from Vodafone below and also from Vi App diagnostics, it is showing 2G only in excellent coverage area.!!!

                                      From the past 5 days my internet got very slow. I am getting downloading speed of 20 to 30 kb only although the network is good.
                                      My data is getting wasted everyday . I am not even able to use it.
                                      Also sometimes I lost my network. No sim card is shown. what the hell is happening with VI? I am gonna port my sim to other network if my issue is not getting resolved within 24 hrs
