Idea Cellular Complaints & Reviews

The 'idea' Internet doesn't work at all.
They've taken money for all those internets and unlimited calling packages. But they don't let the person utilize all of the internets, because for the maximum time it doesn't work.
I've been using 'idea' for 3 years.
Their calling quality is very bad, their internet is very bad. Nothing works.
And their customer care number doesn't work.
If you google idea's customer care contact number, the result will be 12345, but when you dial the number, it says that you've dialled the wrong number.

My self is vikas singh and i am from delhi. As now days idea cellular promoting that we are the best 4g network in india.
My simple question is that. I made 20 calls to your customer care for network issue. But yet there is no response. So i would like to say that first see about your # service. And as you guys are misguiding customer kindly stop this. We are not fool here as # idea company thinking of. You don't have even complete 2g and your company taking about 4g. I am facing network issue from last 3 months and every time i called your so called # customer care number -198
And every time my complaint got registered but yet there is no response.. And for service reminder you guys are doing call when you want money.. I want reply on that now pls don't call me. Whatever conversation you guys want do on mail.. # company..

On 14th June, I had done a recharge of 398 to my idea number [protected] in the My Idea App. I had 50 rupees voucher in my idea app so 348 amount was paid through my MobiKwik wallet in My Idea App. My 348 rupees was deducted in MobiKwik wallet but transaction failed in My Idea App. My refund is not credited to my MobiKwik wallet and benefits to my Idea number also not received. MobiKwik team is asking the written communication from idea but Idea team is not solving my concern since June 14. Please solve my problem.

My IDEA SIM outgoing expiry date is due on 05 August 2019 which is very soon.
Remaining talk time balance is Rs 63.
Visiting any local shop, they charge unnecessarily. Some screenshots are provided for further reference, please.

About My balance deduction of 10 rupees, i call to customer care they said that it is because i dialed *123# from my phone, but how is this possible when i was talking to someone from another sim card of same phone that i will dial a no. From another sim and get connected. I have proof that I was talking to someone at that moment of time. I want my balance to be refunded.
I called using my Jio SIM on 5:06pm
And disconnect the call after 29 min 15 sec than how can I call with another SIM i. e. Idea on 5:34:17 pm on same date.

My plan has been changed to "Nirvana 299" without consent. I am appalled that IdeaVodafone has resorted to such underhand tactics to increase their profits. TRAI should investigate this issue as it appears to have affected a lot of their customers. How can they submit a change request on my behalf?

My account number:[protected] which is a postpaid idea network is been charged incorrectly over 4 months.

I had not paid the bill for last two months because i am not getting any signal for the same.
When tried to complaint through alternate number, they says you need to call us by the registered number.
I the registered number does not have the network connectivity how can we call from that?

Hence, i need refund of my four months bills for no use of the sim.

Please do something for the network in the provided area. Even when the cell tower is just 200 meters from the provided location, there's no 3g and 4g coverage. Only 2g coverage which is not at all acceptable for the money which is being paid every month to you. Not only me. Many other idea users in my area are struggling too and many of them ported to jio because of the poor coverage and worst internet services. Please don't let me do the same like what the others did.

I have been using my idea sim from last many years. The sim come with life time free incoming facility, but now when jio came and people are not taking interest in these cellular companies so now they starting charging for incoming also. They are forcing to do rupess 35 recharge every month.

This is highly unethical, i purchased idea sim when they were offering lifetime validity and now they have changed their stand this should not be allowed. Need to file a complaint against cheating and life long validity should be restored to existing customer, as we have already paid
