Spoke to one of the advisor ganesh at idea customer services prepaid.
He was very rude as i called to check about the usage details of my prepaid number.
Instead of sharing information he was blaming as if we did crime to ask about the details of my usage.
When i politely asked to share the same info pleasantly he shouted on me and hung up the call.
I don't understand why prepaid customers are not considered and ignored.
I had been a loyal customer with idea from past 7 years and such rude behavior forcing me to think of port out.

          Respected,
          On 17/06/2017 i was porting my idea cellular no. [protected] to jio network. I got call from an executive named anjali who asked me the reason for porting so i said i need better 4g offers so i am switching to jio, so sh said about th offer of rs. 347 in which i will get daily i gb 4g data with 300 free minutes daily and also 5% cashback if i recharge from idea app. So i did as she said and instead of 4g they gave me 2g data. When i called back the customer care they are saying you have not listened it carefully, and it is 2g pack, which is not written anywhere in pack details. Please help me out in this regard

            I have 2 idea numbers at my home and now i am fed up with the worst services of the idea. They are now doing fraudulent activities by deducting balance for unknown reasons.

            Earlier one of the number was on postpaid and then they billed an amount of around rs 1300 for no valid reason. The reason they gave us that somebody dialed the teleastro service. We assumed that it may had happened.

            Then we changed it in prepaid and our rs 180 was deducted from balance. Again they told us the same reason.

            And now they are continuously deducting rs 3 and rs 5 on daily basis and that too for no reason. They are saying that it is for some game service and this time i am damn sure that no such numbers are dialed at my end.

            Yesterday i recharged for rs 50 and within minutes i received another message saying you have been charged rs 5. That phone is a basic feature phone and hardly one uses such third class services. I also own a smartphone and we do not required such services. As idea is going into loss so they are charging for no reason. Till now i have lost around rs 1600 for their fake services. Also i am planning to port my number but i want to take legal help against this fraud company. Please suggest...

                    There was an illegal deduction of rs 29 from my idea account in the name of mydala powered deal. Mydala was a name i heard the first time and i had not used or availed any of its services. This deduction of amount from my account has infuriated and disappointed me. Also i request the concerned authorities to take some action against this illegal move. My no is [protected] and i want my money back in any case.

                      Hi,
                      I just got a message saying that i have been charged 29rs of my balance for downloading mydala powered deal from mydala. I didn't ask for any deal or register for anything related to mydala.
                      I have seen many such complaints here but not solution. I would like to get my money back and please make sure you resolve this asap as this is effecting many customers and we don't fancy our money being cut without our consent.
