Idea Cellular Complaints & Reviews

Today 02/07/2018 morning i received a message from iz-idea saying, your request for promo offer activation for mob. No.[protected] has been successfully processed through communication ; i had not authorized such a service activation. Kindly register my complain against idea as i have seen here that this malpractice has been happening with a lot of other folks too and kept unattended many times on complaint with idea

I have visited 3 times nearest idea store for submitting rewuestion for conversion of postpaid service to prepaid. Every time i get a msg that u tried contacting but failed hence request got concelled. I am not getting this point that u are contacting using same network and still you say you failed connecting. How can one rely on your network.
I am highly disappointed with this kind of service. If i didnot get response to this message i ll be forced to send complain to higher authorities.

I have been told on ivr that if you recharge with rs 40 full talktime will be given and your outstanding rs 8 also no more liable to you but not given by idea.
I called cc to help they replied please ignor
The offer which was told in ivr. No such offer can be available... As per his knowlege.
Hence i have to complain. Should i start to ignor offers witch is provided to help customer??? Ignor. Why not i also ignor to recharge??? Or to change the sim???

I had closed post paid mobile service No769****261in 2014 & paid RS.918.05 (against monthly charges RS.505.62)extra charged by IDEA. After 4 yrs they had sent notice for pyt of RS.2422 + notice charges of advocate N S Vaghela. I hv called them to re-checked but No response received. This is nothing but harrassment. They MUST stop such harrassment.

My number is blocked from yesterday 29th june 2018. I did speak to customer care about this and they said my number ([protected]) is blocked for promotional messages by trai. But i didn't send any messages from this number. I also visited idea store for the above matter but they were unable to help me out. I am not a tele marketer and i did not send any marketing message. They have just blocked my number. Kindly help me out to get my number [protected] restored. Thanks in advance

Tuesday I submitted application for duplicate sim for [protected] in our local idea store sasthamkotta. They said it will take 3 full days to get one as this number is not aadhar linked. I got the sim today only and it is not picking network. They told sim is active and can use within 15 minutes. I tried it in 3 different sets but none works.Customer care and idea store people behave very badly regarding this issue. What I need to do after waiting 4 days for a duplicate sim. Expecting prompt reply.

Idea service ltd. Is charging 4g connection rates and providing service which is not even comparable to 2g service.
This in turns forfeit the right of consumers of getting services for which they have paid. Idea is pprtraiying like providing 4g services but speed is not adequate and not matching with 4g speed, and again since 2 days it is not even showing 4g mark on mobile.

I have ported out my phone from Idea to other service provider due to their bad service. My Idea account number is[protected]. The port out request was completed on 09 sep 2017. I had paid an security of INR2000/- which was supposed to be refunded back to me. Even after multiple visits to their Patiala Showroom (Leela Bhawan) and requests (every time I visit a standard answer is given that your request for refund has been registered and you need not come back to the office, as the refund will reach you at your home. - still no refund.) I have yet to receive the refund. Interestingly they have a TAT for every complaint but no TAT for refunds & neither any satisfactory answer to why it has not come. All they tell you not to comeback as your request is registered and the refund will come to your home.

Just one Question if the consumer does not pay his bills on time and tells them that the request to pay has been registered by him will they provide him the service or not. Then how can they have such a callous attitude on customer refunds with no TAT or responsibility ?

On 25th June 2018, I got this mail. I had never opted for this service. What is this service and why was it activated on my mobile? Today I also got a SMS about the Nirvana plan which says that some services i free for 1 month and then Rs. 30 /month. Please stop this nonsense.

Hi

I repeatedly got call from different numbers asking for someone.

On telling that i don't know about him, the girl said i talk to him on regularly.

Then i realized that it is my friend's phone number - [protected]

She abused me, threatened "sar phod dungi" without telling any reason.

Later after we tried to contact her she said about the outstanding bill.

In the era where telephone company charges rs 500 for free unlimited call, idea charges rs 6, 500

More over they have recovery agents who harass their consumers.

Please find the recovery agents phone number:

Gunjan: [protected]

Please take correct action against the recovery agent

Thanks,

Ishika

Bad service i have received from ideal

Sir i am purchasing two post paid sims. Bill circke date 25th june 2018. Bill paid amount date 8th july 2018. But both sim service directly disscounted why discount my service. And complete to idea dealer varad agency. Nashik.
So sir please my sort out problem immediate. Other wise my complaint to jago grahak jago to forward.
My immediate solve problem.

I am Ranvijay and recently ported my mobile number from Airtel to Idea due to network issue in Sector 143 Noida -201306. The idea sales team (Mr. Ravi – mobile no: [protected]) called me and promoted/promised that Idea has better network coverage and 4G data speed. He guarantees that the ‘Idea’ have the best network in this area and convince me to port from Airtel to Idea.
However, when my port request completed and I become Idea customer, the moment I start facing the data and voice issue. I am getting 2G –Edge network through Idea 4G SIM and data and voice quality is worst among all network providers. I am cheated and humiliated by making the false commitment by Idea and especially by Mr. Ravi (sales team). I am not even port again to Airtel which have better network compare to Idea due to TRAI restriction for minimum 3 month required to stay with a current operator for porting request.

I am highlighting this issue to you so that please take corrective action either by rectify all network issues or refrained your sales team to stop making the false commitment of being best network. In this era, if we still getting 2G- Edge signal from Idea network then I think you have the worst network and led to the worst network provider.

I paid 495 rs to idea in their outlet. I was told that the process shall take around 4 to 5 days and get the conversion complete. I was asked to come to shop to complete the conversion i. E. Activation processes today.
There they told me that 178 rs recharge was added by default. However this plan only offers 1gb / month, while the plan i had selected was offering me 1.4gb/ day for longer validity. Why is it i have to pay unnecessary 178 rs when i wanted the benefits of 495rs plan???
Idea is the biggest thief in the market. Hope all shall stop using this soon.

My idea excess money of 500rs is also lost.. I had made prepayment of this money when using postpaid. I donot know how can i get this money back.
In general the total theft is around 1k inr.
