    Charged 35rs
    When i was just searching on the internet regarding some video suddenly i got the message that dindo service has been activated by idea cellular company without asking me. When i called them that i have requested to activate. But i haven't requested it. I have unsubscribed the service. But they have deducted 105 rs from my balance for this service. I want refunde of that money. The customer support agent was very rude and non cooperative. Mobile [protected]

        Sir we are receiving various sms from idea cellular to link our idea prepaid number with adhaar card in gujarat gandhinagar district.
        The message says link mobile number with adhaar and you can submit your adhaar card at gajanan medicals sector 14 gandhinagar when yesterday we went there he is asking a charge of rs 20/- (Rupees twenty to link adhaar card with mobile).

        I said the sms message do not say to pay rs 20/ as charge but the person at gajanan medical say he will charge on ly then he will link.
        Please look into the matter he is charging amount for linking the adhaar with mobile.

          I have recently converted my sim from prepaid to postpaid. It got activated within 72 hours while i was in india. When i left country for job purpose to gulf country, sim got disconnected from service.
          I tried to resolve this problem through customer care from my family members. But, noone from idea could even answer for sorting out this matter. Finally, upon reaching idea show room, they advised to deposite rs. 2000 in order to activate international roaming service. Even after paying also, it is not yet activated after 8 hours. My mobile number is [protected].
          Seeking assistance from idea cellular servuces at the earliest.
          Thanks.

            Idea installed qwalli and dindo VAS and deducted around 100₹ in total. I never installed anything and never visited any idea website for VAS. It is unacceptable. 54300 is number which sent me this. Please contact me and reemburse me ASAP.

              I use idea cellular sim in the dwarka, new Delhi area, but I found that the network of idea is very weak and the 3G/4G speed of the idea network is very slow. I inform about the problem on their customer care number also but no action is taken by company.

              it is my complain that the upgrade the network and internet speed.

                I would like to bring it to your kind notice that owing to hassle free online recharge system, i opted for the same for my prepaid idea number, which is [protected] but unfortunately the amount instantly got deducted from my bank account whereas the recharge failed. Thus, i am asking for an early refund because if such things will happen over and again, it is highly doubtful and disappointing on your part to show "best offers" for a certain number and then failing the recharge. Kindly work on this flaw running in your system as your company's reputation is at stake. As a loyal customer, i am expecting you to resolve this issue at the earliest.

                Details required are as follows:

                Transaction reference no: jic[protected]
                Transaction date:[protected], time: 19:41:44

                    Dear sir., i reacherged my idea no. For internet connection of rs 96 after seeing a msg on my mobile (In rs 96 get 15 gb 2g/3g/4g for 28 days) from company.
                    There is no information about the distribution of data..
                    When i use the date it's 1 gb internet ends in two days and my net is not working when i call c. Care they said to me that there is 1 gb for 3g/2g and 14gb for 4g.. And my hand set is 3g supportive.. Now the rest data is waste for me..
                    I request the c. Care to convert my 4g data into 3g date but they did not do this. And waste my time by giving me time duration for solving my problem..
                    Company has to give full information regarding offers.. Other wise they play with our time, emotion in this busy life schedule... I feel very bad as i requested them to convert it but they don't.

                            Hello Team, my idea number is not working. I am able to get incoming calls but outgoing is not working. I have recharged my number with 199 Rs 3 days back. And even today I have recharged assuming the talk time is over. But I realized that problem is not with balance.

                            Please reply and make it work as soon as possible

                                From the last two days i am calling the idea customer care toll free number for registering a complaint regarded to my sim but there is no response from the idea company. I am calling customer care again and again but still there is no response only a lady operator says that (If you want to talk to our customer executive/or register any complaint so please dial 2 or 4 anyone number which the lady operator says and when we dial that number still no response) only the operator says we are connecting to our customer executive and after some time she says that you have to do some wait, some wait and wait but the call is not connected to the customer service. I want to ask that please improve your customer service as soon as possible or fastly.

                                    I am from hyderabad, india using idea prepaid 4g sim. From the last one week, i am getting these flash messages every 1-2 minutes which are so annoying. Messages are coming during night time as well from 12 to 6 am. A serious action needs to be taken by trai against idea cellular and other such cellular companies which are sending those unwanted messages with out any consent from consumers. Cellular companies must provide consumers a way to stop these messages or they must be fined for doing such activities.

                                    Idea: are you listening
                                    Trai: your action is highly recommended.

                                      And when i called the customer care, they said they have no such records.

                                        Dear team,

                                        I don't want to post this on facebook tweeter or any social media just because of mr. Kapania.. I respect him. But below case is a serious issue.

                                        There is an issue with a bill which you claim is pending and i have been receiving calls from some legal firms from delhi stating bill payment of 2000 rs.. Infact these legal guys have even called my colleagues and told about my case.

                                        I also received a bill from this legal guy for the period of mar-apr 17.. My number is with airtel since april.. How come a bill of 2000 got generated that too with idea?

                                        I hope, being a firm you understand what is this?

                                        My number got ported to airtel because of sad service i received from idea.

                                        Port details:
                                        My idea number got ported with airtel in the month of april. I have received welcome sms from airtel for the same.
                                        There was some pending bill which idea executive had called me and asked to do the payment of around 550.

                                        She had asked me to go to the link of payment of discontinued idea number and make the payment.

                                        I made a payment of 554 from my account of which i have the statement proof, post this my number was successfully ported to airtel.

                                        After 2 months suddenly some one from delhi named manoj aggarwal calls at my place and threatens my father and tells him that i have misused my documents in some fraud and they have registered my case and asked the police to arrest and all..

                                        Forget about this letter i have not even received the bill pending from idea till date..

                                        Who are these people..? They even ask for card details on phone... I hope you guys know what is this...

                                        I don't want to do anything as of now just because of mr. Kapania.. I respect that person..

                                        I would request you to stop this and take strict action against this manoj aggarwal..

                                        My father is a heart patient making a statement like "police ghar aegi" is unacceptable at this age.

                                        It's not about skipping the payments it's about facing threatening calls for not doing anything? And these guys have simply spoilt it even in my office...

                                        This is a clear case of mental and image harrassment.

                                        My previous idea mobile number is [protected].

                                        I am have cleared all my dues with idea because of which my number got ported. Another call regarding this will force me to take some actions..

                                        Close this case asap

                                        Regards
