    I am sharad staying at vidyanagar, alibag, maharashtra. Since last fortnight in my area we are facing network problem. I have registered the complaint to idea customer care. After two to three days i. E on 16/06/2017 i got message that our area is under consideration for enhancement and complaint is closed.

    On 29/06/2017 i again contacted customer care and asked about the solution for my complaint, that a lady in charge told me the same as per the earlier message and also told that our area has overloaded with new customer. I asked for the time frame to resolve the complaint. But no assurance has been given.

      My Idea connection is not active due to technical reasons since 6 days and no one cares.I have gone to idea centers for 8 times and talked to customer department. None of them cares that its important. I plan to register a complaint with the consumer court and see what happens.

                          Dear service provider,
                          Its very shamefull to u that even after many calls to idea office sirsa city (Haryana) to mr. Rajan,

                                  I have been charged 29rs for mydala subscription. I didnt even used the internet for that hour. When i tried to lodge a complaint at idea cellular they refused to take complaint. They are not even ready to help. Also i dont even know for what i have been charged. If the content was chargeable, who gave idea rights to deduct it from my main balance. Chargeable content should have their own payment system.
                                  Roshi jaiswal was the senior support from idea and she refused to take my complaint.
