        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.

                                        My account was deducted with an amount of rs. 29/- for the activation of some stupid my dala deal on 17.06.2017. I got a text from idea that rs. 29/- has been deducted for downloading my dala powered deal from my dala.
                                        Before that text, i did not know what the hell my dala is, so how can i even access for it and download anything.
                                        After that when i search for my dala i got to know that it is an app. App doesnot charge any amount for installation and here i have not installed any app but downloaded a deal that too without visiting the particular site and downloading app.
                                        When i contacted customer care, they are repeating only one line like parrot that i might have downloaded something because of which the amount has been deducted.
                                        I dont understand that how can i download a deal without even visiting the site or app of my dala or idea, further in every app or every site before activating anything the site ask for the number to be entered manually for which i want to activate the deal, how can it automatically gets activated and amount has been deducted. New way of looting the customers and making fool of them.
                                        Further even if any of the deal is activated in any of the app then how is it possible that i did not get any of the promotional text from mydala till now but only one text from idea about the deduction.
                                        Isn't it strange that we had paid for something and we dont know what it is for or what are the benefits we'll get.
                                        There are numerous complaints from the customers of idea regarding deduction of the amount for this non sense mydala or i can say that the internet is flooded with this type of complaints that means i am not the only victim. The only solution to this is to stop recharging on idea as when there will be no amount then what will be decduted.

                                        Idea should understand this that by doing such things it is not promoting my dala but putting its goodwill at sake, specially at this time when jio is holding number one position/choice among the indians or making each and every effort to retain its customers.

                                        I want my entire money back which was deducted wrongly.
