Good! Idea Cellular values customer feedback and works quickly to address complaints. They handle issues regularly and provide solutions, making customers feel heard and supported, however, we would recommend that Idea Cellular step up their efforts to fully resolve all complaints 👍

I am an idea customer and my number [protected] and today (Date[protected], time: 8:32 pm) i got a message from idea vas that some irrelevant service was activated and rs. 5 was deducted from my account. Yesterday (Date:[protected], time 10.33 pm) also i got the same message and the deduction amount was rs. 25. Since yesterday i was busy i caanot contatc the customer care, but today, when i contacted the customer care they said that they are not responsible and some third party website is causing this.

I want to know the details of which site causes this thing and also without the concern of idea how my balance is deducted.

When i searched the web, this issue has been reported by so many idea customers and this is a cheap act by idea for deducting the balance. Shame on idea.

Thanks and regards

Hi,

I have port my sim card from my airtel to idea. I have cleared my all the payment to previous compnay i. E artel. Idea dealer told me to pay 100 rs extra for the successful port and also i did to port my sim card. After clearing my all the payments, i got the successful port to the idea and also i used my idea sim card for couple of months and also paid my bill the them regularly.. Suddenly my outgoing was stopped by them and they said that your payment is remaining from the previous compnay and amount was 468. How is that possible that idea compnay had accepted by number even i haven't paid and they suddenly stopped. They should check this thing before the card gets port..

When i requested to close my sim card to them, they told me that we can't close it and you will get the bill for every month.. How company can charge me if my outgoing is stopped even i can't access the internet?

I would like to take legal action on these companies..

I have not sent any request of activation of bluelima (I dont know what is this bluelima). But still this bluelima service was activated without my concern.
This seems to be a happening with many customers making a loss of customers.
So i expect my money as well as money of other consumer who have suffered loss due to this must be returned.
This problem of bluelima should be sorted out.

Respected sir,
I have ported my mobile [protected] to idea four months back as i have joined centre govt job in mp. I am a permanent resident of haryana. I have submitted my adhar no and local reference id during portability.

Now as i am getting sms for re verification, i went to idea center but they refused to re verify my number because my residence address in adhaar is of haryana and i am using it in other state mp.

As my job is transferable and i can not keep changing in my address in my adhaar. So please clarify the procedure of re verification of mobile number.

Ok no problem I will deactivate the same, but what is its use. On 21 Aug the service was started without my approval and deducted the amount. I stopped the service on the same day. But today as well they started the same service to my number and again I lost my 35 Rs. If this continues I will or customers like me every day lose their hardened money and no one is talking step against skillderby and this keeps on stealing money by just activating service. One humble request that kindly suggest me how I get my money back. Anticipating positive response. I checked on Internet there are several complaints about skillderby but no one is taking action. I believe in Indian law and I know that you will provide solutions to it.

I am an idea cellular network user and i want to lodge a complaint about this vas service named bluelima of idea celluar network which is utilising my 35 rupees every week without my consent. Please take strict action against it or else i vl tell everyone within my reach who use this network to change their network, as it is using some malpractices to gain money. This act is highly punishable. I am quite disappointed that a well reputed network has indulged in such malpractices. Shame on you!!

My idea phone no is [protected]. I would like to file a complaint against idea cellular company, they have started some gaming service "skillderby". I haven't started it from my side. I tried calling customer care, but every time all i get it, all their people are currently busy. Last time also i filed complaint for the same issue, but no positive response. Please do something, everytime i recharge, all the money goes into some services., without even applying to it. I am sick of it now.

Bluelima has been activated on my cell no. [protected] without my consent. Inspite of deactivating several tmes, more than rs.70 has been deducted from my account. On calling the idea helpline they say that i have activated while surfing the internet which is wrong. It should be immediately deactivated or else i would be forced to file a police complaint. This is a clear case of cheating.

I want to book complain against idea cellular limited as company not only seep out my call details but also misuse that details. I am frequently receiving warning calls from company's autoriesed recovery agent. Not only this they are also calling to all my relatives & friends & using abusing language. Due to this very reason all my relatives & friends to whom they called up are very afraid in attending the calls.

I informed & requested customer care many times to stop these types of call to my relatives & friends, but these types of still continue.
Also i was received a call some time back that pls deposit rs. 450 to clear all dues and next day i was received a call from [protected] that your outstanding is rs.1090. Plz pay full amount.
This dispute is still open and recovery agent calling my friends and relative subsequently.

Hi sir/madam,
This is regarding the harassment/torture that i am getting from the idea postpaid customer care service executive.
I have taken a postpaid connection in the month of aug-sept 2016, as i was not satisfy with the service i asked them for discontinuation of the service.
Requesting them on daily basis i keep on asking them for the details of the pending bills that i need to submit before stopping the service, but they asked me to wait till next bill cycle.
Then finally i submitted the whole bill after completion of my current bill cycle. Again when i asked them to stop my service they asked me for some rs. 110 again in order to close the service. Reason they told that "you should ask us before one day of completion of cycle & now you have to submit the minimum amount to discontinued the service". But finally i got the confirmation mail of discontinuation of service.
Now from then, after one month, instead of giving proof in the form of acknowledgement letter (Letter of discontinuation of service) to them, i am getting calls on weekly basis to pay the bill. I told them i will go to the consumer court regarding this harassment as i have all proof, so finally they stopped calling me.
Now after almost 8-9 months, i got one call from +91 [protected] (On true-caller 217 reported this number as spam) saying that i am (Advocate deepak singh) calling from delhi high court, and asking about the that pending bill torturing me to submit the bill of some rs. 900 else meet me in court.
I am very disappointed with idea's such type of harassment and will not dare to recommend this service to anyone.
Ticket number that i have raised is : sr# c1-[protected]
Please help me on this.

Thanks and regards
Gervit goyal

I updated 404 recharge pack for 84 days unlimited calls+ 84 gb bt received only 1gb for 14days.. And this has happened manier times and have unnecessarily lost lots of money...
Last time to while changing postpaid to prepaid cash was paid as well as bank deduction also was done... Hence double payment of was paid... Instead of refunding the payment idea service provider is asking for extra money... Which is already paid.. As service is discontinued if not paid. Yet asking more.. Plz look into matter..

My name is bhavani shankar, mobile no [protected]
Today i have received below message from idea cellular
"thank you. We have received your request for service blue lima and it is being processed. Your blue lima has been activated. Amount charged is rs 35.00 /- for 1 week. Renewal charge is rs 35.[protected]@1 week. To deactivate sms stop to 155223".

I have not send any request and my 35rs is deducted if we call customer care and complain about it they will say that you must have clicked something. To click i don't know what is bluelima and we are literate people we know what we are clicking as far as money is concern. Pls refund my money back. This very bad on idea services this way they are earning money. They are designing these kind of vas services especially to rob customers.

No there is no my consent. You people are robbing customers balance intentionally when we recharge full talk time. If there was my consent, why did I unsubscribe immediately. Please refund my balance.
