I submitted my port request on 9 may 17 with all documents for no [protected] (Delhi - ncr) and promised by the exceutive that it would be done max within 5 days. But when till 14 may i could not get signals i contacted cus care and enquired about port status. I was surprised to know that it was ported but not getting any signals. I was told to insert sim again and request 59059 for tele verfn. But on re-inserting the sim again no signals. Again on contacting cus care the same advise of re-inserting sim was given without listening to that no signals are coming for me to contact 59059. Pl look into and resolve. My alternate contact is [protected]. Idea cus care dont understand the problem.

    Dear sir/madam,
    As informing you that i'm the idea customer from last 12 years, due to my transfer to another place idea network tower is poor.
    For that i have ported to airtel in the month of aug-16, unfortunately in airtel also the sim is not activated. Immediately i contacted to airtel customer care, they are informed that its not ported to airtel please contact with idea customer care.
    I have contacted with idea customer care and they are informed its already port out from idea (Please contact with airtel customer care).
    Like that from last 8 months i'm roaming like a dog to airtel and idea office.
    But result is zero.

    So kindly requesting you that please release my sim [protected] in idea connectivity.
    My internet banking's and so many contacts are related to this number is getting problem.
    Please accept my request and approve to release my no [protected].

    Thanks & regards,
    B rajesh

      I got an mms on my number [protected].
      It is not opening. Whenever I click on the link it leads me to to a page which doesn't open.
      I know, MMS is obsolete service. Then, Idea should have told its customers that it doesn't work. She was charged more than 30-40 Rs for it.

      I just told her to port out.

        Hi team,

        I was one of the user of IDEA network and was using postpaid sim. I was initially into 350 pack. I was finally charged Rs 2750 on a month billing. I spoke to customer care executive about this but I didnt receive any help from them. Now I'm receiving a demad draft stating to pay the bill or there would be a case filled against me as per the law. I would not be in a position to pay the amount of Rs 2750. Kindly check and revert back. Below details FYR..

                    This is regarding termination of services of post paid mobile no. [protected]. A letter to terminate the
                    Ervices was given to the idea outlet (Mahalaxmi communication, stadium road bareilly), dated 4/11/2016.
                    An amount of rs. 1000/- was deposited against the bill of rs.992/- the interesting thing is that the sim
                    Was not being used and the plan was for rs.599/- when the sim was not being used how can services be
                    Availed, because the sim was not being used. Still we paid the extra amount. We were told that the
                    Ervices would be blocked with effect from november, but we again got a bill for the period 21feb-20th
                    March 2017. This is not ending and every month we get a bill of the same amount. Last bill came on 21st
                    April.
                    Please solve the matter, as we have already paid all the dues. An early response to this complaint will
                    Be appreciated.

                      On 11th May evening, I have got an SMS confirming that Idea has deducted rs 29 from mobile balance. This balance deduction message came after I complete a voice call. As I never download anything outside google play store and when the deduction message came I was in a call, naturally situation was not clear to me. So, I asked customer care why they have deducted the amount? They said that I have download a content but not give any details of the content. I explained them that I was in the middle of a voice call and how it's possible to download a content at same time? Also briefed the fact that I never download anything outside play store and never use any chargeable application. I request them that whether they will refund my money but answer was negative. I write mail to customer care and appellate authority but they have not responded. In this circumstances, requesting to look into the matter at earliest.

                        Since 3 months I have been requesting them to cancel deactivate my services but their retention team is trying to retain by giving fake offers but till date no waiver is given and they are literally forcing to pay bill every month.

                        They are not honouring my address change request also since 3 months each and every time they reject without any reason, without uninforming the customer.

                        They really horrible in service delivery.

                        Such a worst telecom company which I have never seen. They know all the tactics how to collect more money through bill.
                        Idea service very bad when I tried to change my postpaid card to prepaid.
                        For making postpaid their agent visited my home but to convert it to prepaid they are giving all fake reason.
                        No helping agents at agencies all are arrogant employee of idea. I have tried all agency from magarpatta, hadpsar to bhekarai nagar pune. All are lying and giving fake reason when trying to convert postpaid to prepaid.

                        Fraud people.

                          In my phone i got money deducted while i was trying to check my balance. I didnt even ask for confirmation, i just got msg saying that money has been deducted, this is the worst company to stay any more. Thanks for valuable service, i am going to port to other networks. When i called to customer care that ##### was even rude - company deserves the employ.
                          No regrets in leaving the company
