Hello,
I am not able to receive sms from my friends and also otp from websites, only some sms from Vodafone-Idea(Vi) I am receiving. Please resolve my problem I have to fill Gate Exam from before 7 October and for that I need to get otp on my Idea sim. Please I am requesting as not filling the exam form will waste my one year.

I have purchased a sim card & using it in dongle but card is not detected

I have idea broadband connection, since a month trying to disconnect this connection due to poor quality, but there is no option for disconnection on idea site. On Customer care number also no one is picking up calls. Mail id given on site are fake, mail got bounced.

Earlier when was not able to pay due to registered debit card was blocked, that time also there was no one to listen/help for problem. And was getting only calls from recovery. Also even after telling recovery call person to send some one to collect charges no one came, and after 3 months recovery people came at our home, and started bully my 65yrs old father. This was scary. This is very frustrating that idea is doing this type of business. Just a shame. This gives trapped and insecure feeling.

Kindly help for way out .

My idea sim number [protected] registration failed, please activate my sim.

Many times call get disconnected due to the roaming symbol flashes near the sim range symbol, But I am from Maharashtra state and sim card also from Maharashtra circle. As well as there is no any other state boundary near my native place.
As well as indoor rage is also very weak, Need to go outside for making the call or using the internet, Many times we tried to diagnose issue from a mobile app then also it showing proper network.

Address-
At post- Koulav,
Taluka-Radhanagari,
Dist- Kolhapur,
Maharashtra-416211.

I have been receiving an SMS every month if I have balance reading “ Dear Customer, You have been charged Rs. 25.00 and your current balance is xx.xx" Sender: 55435.

I contacted the Idea customer care and they said they cannot do anything from their end it is Gamebox. But I had never subscribed for the Idea Game Box.

Whenever I have balance in my account they deduct Rs.25 every month.

You are requested to help me for refund of money charged, the customer care also could not help out from this unwanted charge. Now the I am left with only option to not recharge my prepaid account due to un-satisfied service of the Idea Cellular service or cancel my prepaid connection.

It is the great disadvantage if the idea cellular services make un-wanted charges applied by them without the knowledge of the customer.

I've been using idea sim since 2016, and till march, 2020 everything was fine. But from the month of april, 2020my online classes started and i don't know wether its coincidently that from the same month, the network quality deteriorated too. I get disconnected from my online classes regularly cause of the bad network (Note that i live in the city, not in the countryside or any village). The download speed is really zero and the ping is very high. And not only in my class, wether if i'm browsing the net or playing any online game, i always end up being frustrated from the bad network.
Even after vi merged and formed a single entity, the problem persists.
I request the officials there to look after the problem. Or else i would shift to any better network provider.
