I'm using idea cellulars postpaid services on my number [protected].
My due date of bill was on 30th may 2017.
Since today my outgoing calls & messages other than idea have been barred.
And also my internet services are deactivated.
When i called up at customer care number 12345 and enquired about same i've been informed that yes we have done so as per company policies.
We are receiving plenty o[censored]nwanted calls / messages for the offers and promotions. But we never receive updates regarding such policy changes.
Why is it company doesn't update the important things which really matters for the customers.

          I gave a call to customer care for getting my query resolved. When I asked about the balance deduction the executive told due to call to non-tollfree number the balance was deducted.
          I simply asked whom to contact and confirm whether the number is tollfree or not?
          To this executive told that she could only tell that I need to call the number for which the balance was deducted.
          Instead of listening to my words, she was in hurry to close the call without satisfying my query.
          When asked where to complain about her, asked her name or employee ID, she told, it is not possible to tell. She stayed arrogant and proudly told I can do anything I want to.

                Mobile:[protected]
                Customer: s vasuda rani
                She has a balance of rs.200+ before porting to idea. Because she dont know how to get the details i have called your cystomer care in 15 mins back. Your employee named surendra from hyderabad, nampally branch has picked the call and he rather clarifying my doubts he spoke very rudely. Being a customer care executive how he can speak with a customer. He is also not transfering call to his next level tobreport this...
                I need a revert on this else will post on trai portal also so ial media as i already recorded the call.

                I rather suggest my friends to not to go for idea connection if i dont get proper reply.

                  My account was deducted with an amount of rs. 29/- for the activation of some stupid my dala deal on 05.06.2017. 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.

                  I want my money back. Thats why i understand why idea cellular share is getting down... Coz they are making fool the people and looting. If your company is not doing any profit then shut down it. But dnt use such kind of tricks.

                            Dear Sir,

                            I have recharged my mobile no [protected] with a pack of Rs 289 "unlimited local & STD calls 28 days" on 25th May 2017 and now after 10 days my out going calls have been stopped, every time I am calling a number it says "Please check the number you have dialed", on the other hand I am receiving all incoming calls & messages. I checked out with all the methods like restarting my phone, removing and re-inserting the sim and other settings too, but none have come out to be useful.
                            The idea network is acting too smart with its cheap tricks in deceiving the customers, and this is not the first time I am forced to complaint on IDEA network, I have confronted such cheap marketing tricks earlier also.
                            Please solve the issue immediately.
                            Idea Cellular customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                    A couple of days ago idea deducted rs.29 from my talktime in name of some # service called mydala.
                                    On calling up customer care, they said i clicked on some link and a third part wap application was downloaded although no such thing happened.
                                    I wrote their customer care about this issue but sadly they had the same reply.

                                    It's very disappointing to see a reputed service provider like idea running such petty scams to rip-off people's hard earned money.

                                    I'm expecting a full refund of my money.
                                    It's not about the loss rs.29 but it's the entire racket that needs to be exposed.
                                    I would be seeking a proper legal counsel to tackle this issue on a national level.

                                      My account number is[protected] and my idea number is [protected] and this is regarding the discrepancy in my bill in the month of March and April which was not resolved even after a series of customer complaints to look into the matter. My March bill amounted to 1500 where I was charged for VAS & Roaming services and not signing up for the service and was continuously charged even post registering multiple complaints with your customer service. Since the issue was not resolved, my account and number were disconnected yet a bill of Rs 1665 is added for the month of April(this was charged even when my services were disconnected by the company itself) in spite of the number not being in use. There has been no resolution of this issue since two months in spite of complaints in the double digits. Kindly take an action.

                                        My Mother ported her number from Vodafone postpaid to Idea Prepaid haryana, since Vodafone postpaid guys looted her for 5 months. She cleared all the payments before porting. Now even after porting, Vodafone sent a bill to pay and someone calling from Idea as well to pay previous bill and sending this SMS:
                                        From IZ-Idea
                                        Dear Customer, We are not in receipt of proof of payment made with your previous operator. Hence your number would be barred. Request to kindly produce payment proof in 10 days to avoid disconnection

                                        I would like to know when all the payments were cleared before porting, why now Idea is calling and sending sms saying that this nimber would be barred. Is this even legal?
