I ms. Stuti sharma is complaining the kind of service the idea cellular is providing. The worst network the idea provides after launching the 4g. Neither 3g or 2g is been connected from last one week.
And i have called the customer care 15 times just they inform to do the changes in mobile settings. On 10th june i visited idea gallery near dombivali (E) they just did some changes in mobile settings that's it. Still no network is been there in the mobile.
On 12th june when i registered a complaint they stated that the issue will solve on 16th june.
What kind of service this company providing to solve such a small issue they take 4days. If this the case idea will not be able to provide good service longer any more in a city like bombay.

    I was contacted by an idea personnel from [protected], and she informed me about an idea postpaid offer of 1gb per day 4g internet and unlimited calls for 400 per month. Therefore i decided to port to idea postpaid and sent my document information to [protected] as she asked me to. Now during idea activation they are saying that such an offer does not exist, and told me i was given another offer. They say that now i can only port after 90 days. This is a clear case of misleading a customer and grabbing business and is clearly cheating. If their was no such offer i wouldnt have ported to idea and now i cannot port back. I hate idea for doing this and i will make sure that no one i know go for idea and will port to another provider on the 90th day. Idea, it is better to snatch my wallet and run rather than this kind of cheating.

      I am kalpesh sarkar. Below was the message that i received from idea. I even confirmed the offer by calling in idea customer care. At the time of activating the offer, i was not informed that the offer applies only to 2g and 4g knowing i am 3g customer. I got to know of this only after i received the bill of ₹ 1317. This is totally a mistake on part of idea. Please do the needful early and send me revised bill as per my plan.

      Below is message for reference.

      Dear customer, get upto 10gb data at just rs.100 in idea data jackpot offer on my idea app. Visit myidea://myidea. Ideacellular.com/dashboard to subscribe now!

        This complaint is regarding the unwanted amount detection for junk activation.
        Just like that 150/-rs is detected for flight tv. I called them within 2 mins of activation and ask them to cancel the service and refund back the money. But the guy can cancel only the service but will not return money.
        It will be better to just refund my amount that will be fine.

                      All transactions happened on 09 jun 2017. Some lady called my mom to get details of debit card and she disclosed some information unknowingly. Of-course this was a scam. But i am sure, there must be some safeguards, if something like this happens.
                      Can anything be done?
                      This is major problem with cashless transaction which government is encouraging, if we cannot track the money easily. Everyone will stop cashless transactions sooner or later, if complaint resolution is not speedy.

                      If tracking is possible, please reply to [protected]@gmail.com and i can provide more details.

                      Thanks,

                                I m using idea no [protected] and i m using it for data usage i have recharged with rs1491 3g/4g pack for 1 year. Now i recharged for rs.96/- 2gb package with validity of 28 days. I have made it 2 times for getting 4gb. But they credited only 2gb. When i talk to customer care after recharged they were informing me that first 2gb will be removed and 2nd 2gb will be credited. This is not mentioned in their own my idea app also. They don't refund my money or data. After 5 days now i recharged with special offer of rs.243/- 70gb - 4g for 70 days its also not credited they were asking me to wait for 7 days fully cheated by idea network.

                                  Hi

                                  My phone number [protected] is blocked by me on 22 march as my phone has been lost.
                                  Currently, i live in delhi and my phone number is registered on maharashtra network. I cannot get the duplicate sim in delhi. I have tried on 3 idea customer retail stores in delhi to get the sim but found no success. So now i have only one option left, i have sent my friend who is currently in pune, maharashtra but the customer store refused to give him the sim as it is locked due to non retrieval of sim within 7 days.
                                  I have talked this thing at the time of blocking the sim they told me to get the sim in 1 month. You can have the recording of 22nd march about this.

                                  The store told me that they can provide the sim if i will be present personally. But i cannot travel all the way to pune from delhi for the sim.
                                  Opposite to that customer care told me that they cannot provide the same number to me and they have open it for sale.
                                  I am getting different info everytime i connect to different members of idea team.
                                  Person i have talked are from maharashtra custome care
                                  1. Deepak gaikwad
                                  2. Manish patil

                                  They did no provide a solution to me.

                                  I have already been extremely exhausted with this situation as i am in the new city and have to travel to find the stores here. Also, all my bank account and digital cash are registered on this number and to login, i need to verify with otp.

                                  I want that number, i request to please do not sell that number to any other customer and give me a solution so that i can have that number back in delhi

                                  So kindly, please provide me with the required approval so that i can get my sim as soon as possible.

                                  Its been months i havent get my activated number

                                  The coverage for idea network is very poor at podium level (one level below ground) and this is causing difficulties both for calls and network usage. At ground level idea is perfect. one level below it is very bad. At the same time Jio connection is working perfect here.

                                    Hi,

                                    I am attaching a screenshot where my 35 rs got deducted which says messages to isd number.

                                    I never messaged anyone outside india.

                                    When i checked the isd number on true caller it clearly said its a spam message.

                                    Why whould i send message to spam number?

                                    I am using idea since 4 years and now customer care is not ready to believe that i dint send any messages.

                                    The deduction alert was coming while i was using my phone and obviously i dint send any message.

                                    I am porting out of idea and will never return.

                                        From last few month i was recharge of rs.347 in that i got 1gb/day 4g internet & unlimited calling. But from last 8 days i am not getting idea 4g internet speed. It will only shows about less than 200 kb/sec speed which is worst than 3g speed. Also live streaming video has an interrupted, not going to regular it will always buffering after 5 minuts. Downloading also goes to 300-400 kb/sec & suddenly goes down to 0 b/sec. Again it will show same speed & again drop. I was called to customer care. They said that make some setting. I also done that but it was wasted. Infact before idea 4g i was used jio 4g sim, it was going well on this handset itself. And idea aslo going well before 8 days from this complaint but now this is the issue.
                                        Idea 4g not giving satisfactorily services to me. Please solve my problem as early as possible. I am suffering too much.
