    Dear sir/mam,

    My sim card is not showing any network for last 3 days.
    I tried to solve the problem by restarting the phone, reinserting the sim, and even changing the phone.

    It is getting very discouraging for me, i don't see any options available to solve this issue. My idea number is [protected], i can be contacted on [protected]@gmail.com

    Regards
    Dheeraj

        "Hello!

        You have been charged Rs. 22
        Your balance"
        Request a refund and not to repeat such deduction. This happens many times

                      Idea cellular network is very bad in compare to others. It is one of the worst sim card, I never want to use it again because it never works properly specially in emergency.

                        Idea wont allow sending SMS despite having credit in my prepaidd account. Yes my plan does not allow outgoing SMS (because I don't send many SMSs) The one time, I do need to send an SMS for which I was happy to be charged from my balance, idea blocked my sms.

                        Frustrated and decided to PORT out my number but SMS to TRAI numbers like 1900 are blocked too.

                        This is not good. You will lose the loyalty of your customers. You certainly have lost mine which goes back 18 years!

                        Why are messages to TRAI numbers being blocked by the network provider? Especially numbers that are considered as those to express grievances ?

                        There is credit in account!!

                        Idea got in touch and resolved. Asked to top up with an unlimited plan. Not happy with the outcome as its by no means a resolution that was met both ways. Idea didnt make any allowances. PORT OUT!

                                I have received a SMS reading β€œ Your monthly Idea callertune subscription has been renewed.You have been charged Rs.49 for month.To unsubscribe SMS STOP to 155223.

                                I had never subscribe for caller tune.

                                Immediately I had sent SMS to Stop to 155223 but I have been charged Rs. 49 for any such service .

                                You are requested to help me for refund of money charged, I had been charged by customer care during complaint but the customer also could not help out from this unwanted charge.Now I am not recharging my prepaid account due to un-satisfied service of the Idea Cellular service.
                                It is the great disadvantage if the cellular services for un-wanted charges applied by them.

                                    Very worst experience, customer care not even bother about the customer request, just registers complaint and never work on it. Issue will not be solved, i made more than 5 complaints
                                    .But there is no change in signal, Atlast i'm going to change the network.
