useless company getting more useless

First, they told that they will stop outgoing calls, what i see is that they had stopped incoming too. And above this, they had banned complaint and portability numbers too like 198 and 1900. What the hell trai is doing on this nuisance. There is no value of being so long with these operators. It is now clear that these private companies are just a # in the name of trust. Excessively frustrating experience with the so-called giant vodafone-idea...

frauds trying to steal money

Dear idea consumers, please start switching to jio. Because these # over there are trying to steal your money, they'll ask you to recharge everyday on the name of some meaningless validity drama. Usually when you run out of talktime, they stop your outgoing services. But as now these beggars can't afford food, all these cellular losers are coming up with cheap schemes to loot customers. I just threw my idea sim today. Jio is best,...

wrongfully charged

I recieved message from 51998 on 26th November that I have been charged rs3. I didn't subscribed to anything. I haven't even used mobile data and still they charged. I talked to their customer care number when this happened earlier and told them to stop charging me and turn of any kind of service other than calls and messages but I guess they are just hell bent on lossing their customers....

barring outgoing calls and sms despite sufficient balance.

I had recharged for unlimited validity full talk time plan (Rs. 500) on 3rd october. Despite having over rs. 220 balance in my idea account, i received a message on 10th november saying that my outgoing services will be barred by 24th november. On the 25th i had to recharge with the rs. 35 plan, which for an internet-less mobile phone user like me is a complete waste.
