I have a active data pack of 2gb 3g on my cellular device. Today since morning i have been charged for data usage, even though my data use is set off. Till now the company has deducted around 90mb even without usage. I want the problem to be solved asap, rather i may disregister the number, please look forward to my problem hoping to get a positive response.

Someone has done fraud transactions using my citibank debit card with idea money. It is for 4 transactions each of value of rs.4785 on 19th june 2017, that is for rs.19140.

As requested on customer care phone to send the complaint/fir copy from police and the citibank bank statement for the period of transaction with idea money. I sent them to grievance officer

Also the phone call came to my mobile number asking for my debit card details from mobile no. [protected] which is registered with idea money.

I request you to refund the money as early as possible. I have not got reply from grievance officer

I had complained about the recharge not being credited into my cell and 6 people called till now claiming to be from idea but asking me for the debit card details of mine along with the pin number!!!
One mr. Rohan bhatnagar claiming to be the senior director of idea refunds division has called me just now from:
[protected]
He too wanted the debit card details with the no, cvv no and the pin number!!!

I just put a complaint to idea that data of rs.347/- paid for is not credited-twice in the past two month that i recharged.
A customer support executive called and offered a refund of rs.694/-
But i am unable to share my debit card details including the cvv no on phone as asked for.
Resolution sought:
Is it possible to give me the talktime and data for rs.694/- which i have lost despite payments?

My mobile no is [protected]/ and twice i have topped up for rs.347/- data and unlimited call offer.
Both the times, the sms confirming the recharge came but no data and talktime was activated.
Asking for endless proofs for a single complaint has become an order of the day.
Are we to work or to procure proofs for the issues?
This offer of rc 347=free loc/std calls & 1gb daily, 28days d limited period offer is not working.
Twice i lost the money.
Does idea mobile care?

Past time :-1 feb 2017 i port in my number in idea. That is my big mistake of my life. Idea is a best company no doubt it. But his showroom persons is too bad always imposed postpaid connection if any problem like sim lost or for revarificayion time they imposed postpaid. Dated 1 jan my new port in sim of idea is losted then i go idea showroom they postpaid sim. Then i complaint in this same process. Then i get my duplicate sim.
Present time :- now dated 22 june i go to idea showroom for revarification of my idea. Same they imposed postpaid sim. For revarification. Now i m go my number port out. Idea to other telecom. Thanks.in futre no body port out idea to other. I[censored] want then strictly take action against this. And now my complaint is only aganst navyug communications. My near showroom navyug communications.

In my case i ported from idea to airtel. The bill period ends on march 27th in idea and it's 716/- but i paid 750/- and ported to airtel. My airtel connection activated on april 9th. I. E 13 days usage of ideas network utilised by me. For this 13 days i got a bill of 3106/-for this short period. Now my question is how can they make such over rated bill. Previously i was in 525/- plan in idea since some years and i argued that they should charge me as per that plan only and proportional to 13 days. But they said “once you are out on port you are not eligible for any plan”. That is fine but they should have asked me about my consent/ plan option etc. And how can you say that i am out with port when still i am using idea till the other network gets activated. And how can you bill as per your own wish with out my consent/ authorisation. Please tell me how to go about this. Idea company personnel met me personally and told me that i should pay the bills or else my number will be blocked. Please help me out.

Dear sir,
My mobile number is - [protected] idea

On dt.[protected] i got sms from your company wherein a scheme was mentioned - in rs.54 /- recharge
Benefits - 13000 seconds local/std calls free
+ [protected]@30 paise/minute.
Hence i had recharged by paying rs.54/-
Thereafter i got an sms that for activating the facility i should dial *369*47# when i tired for this i got the message that due to insufficient balance sms could not be sent.
Hence on next day i. E. Dt.[protected] i had rechraged with rs.20/- & then tried for dial *369*47#
But again i got the same message 'insufficient balance'.
Then i called to customer care - they told me that the benefits of scheme is credited to my account & i got it's benefits.
But when i called on to another number of idea on dt.[protected], 7 pm) money was deducted from my account for two times.

After calling to customer care - they told me that the amount is not deducted.
Therefore, let me know the benefits of my recharge of rs.54/- scheme.
Because, after every call my balance is getting reduced & i am not getting the claimed scheme benefit of 13000 seconds free.
I feel this as a cheating.

Please do the needful urgently.

Thanks

Hi to the respected sir or mam i got fraud from someone about 2 lakhs of my hard eraned money and i got his number from somewhere but i want to catch him at his residence infront of his parents by this i am sure he will learn something and never do same thing with anyone so please help me to find his address his number is [protected] idea and [protected] aircle so please me please

I ported my number from airtel to idea. Today i got message from idea
Saying your number has been ported call 59059 but when trying to call there is no response, i tried calling on customer care too but noone recives it from the other end. Now i have no connection in my phone, dont know how to activate. The customer care number says only call between 6 am to 11 pm but it got activated after 11 pm so how am i supposed to call now, i have no connection now, this is very annoying.

This attached mail i got received from idea customer care which cites the above reason (Business exigency) for disconnection of the number. I cant even understand why my number got disconnected automatically and balance also got forfeited without stating any valid reason and without stating any fault from my side. This sounds unusual reply as there is no fault from my side and my main balance and internet balance/data pack have got forfeited and also my sim card got disconnected without any valid or justified reason.

I have upgraded the idea sim into 4g, today i got the message from idea that i have got 50 gb net on the 4g upgradation but when i switched on the internet service my whole idea balance finished. Its the fault of the company only, i want balance refund.
My number - [protected]
Email id - [protected]@gmail.com
Hope you will understand and give a quick response

I have a network booster installed at my home. I complaint about bad network including call dropping even with that. An idea representative visited my house and the complaint was explained to him and nothing was done. Today i have received a message that your complaint against communication id - c1- [protected] regarding network issue has been resolved and closed.

But we do not know how???

Hello,
I am using idea from long time but few months back only started monitoring my usage. It was strange to see how idea was cheating me in billing.in call detailing section, i could see that around 60 mins of voice call in may' month but i was being charged for 389 mins of voice calling. It's surprise for me to see how such an overbilling is done to me. It was even painful to think how much in the past they have cheated me even being as loyal customer. Please help and get the bill rectified and written apology from idea services team.

Thanks

I have ported from vodafone postpaid to idea postpaid. However i am not able to contact 59059 for televerification. My sim is not working & i am unable to contact anyone. Idea customer care for other operators never work. Need to activate the no soon. Please reach out as early as possible. My idea number is [protected]. Alternate number is [protected].

Dear sir,
My self nimish vyas and i had a postpaid connection of idea mob no [protected].in 21st dec i request for discontinu my connection and submit 300 rupees against 292 rupees outstanding amount. But after date on 4 jan again i received bill from idea for whic i raised complain to them but neither they call me nor give a proper reply and before two days ago i received legal notice for making payment which is not understandable. I call to that person who send me the mail and ask for the clarification but he simply said either pay the bill or ready for legal action. It feels very bad if you paid all outstanding amount and after that mental harassment is continuing by the reputated firm. Please see the mail communication of mine in which i raised my issue but every time they only send me the bill in place of clarification.

Dear mr. Ashwani mehara,
Pls see the below mail which i continuously communicated to idea but they have no dedication towards a costomer for understanding and resolve his issue. Hence once again i request to you that kindly confirm with idea before proceeding ahead. As i already closed my account on 21st of dec and pay 300 rupees for the same.
