          I tried to send port message to 1900 from my idea number [protected] by using format port to port to jio. How ever the messages are not being sent, it shows sending failed. I have tested sending messages to other numbers and it works but messages sent to 1900 are being blocked. I have talked to idea customer care who repeatedly states that they couldnt find any reasons why port messages wouldnt be delivered. Please help

                  I have to convert my postpaid number into prepaid number. I contact customer care executive regarding refund of security . They are saying that your security amounting to Rs. 2600/- has already been refunded. How it is possible that since I am operating my number and had not got it port then how and to whom you have refunded the security. Kindly explain

                          Hello Sir,
                          My Balance in my Idea number [protected] was deducted on 8 September. When i called Idea customer care they said this is due to the internet usage. I have asked them that i have already raised request with them on 25 July for stop internet usage deduction from main balance through the toll free number 1925. They accepted it and now saying that they cannot refund the balance and i will need to speak to some one senior, I was given number [protected] to speak to but when i call this number they say no complain history is there in my account and call is disconnected. I again called back to idea customer care asking to take my complain to which they have to refused and said now that the balance once deducted cannot be refunded unless i speak to senior.

                          The problem is they do not transfer my call to senior neither do they register my complain. I am writing this here after having tried all steps including emails etc. Hope this will get resolved soon.

                                    My idea number is showing emergency from 10 days what kind of service you people are providing? What kind of merging it is? Since this is my only number which i am using for my bank transactions. If i'm trying your customer care you people are not at all allowing me to connect to your executive. Resolve this issue as early as possible.

                                        Hello team
                                        I recharged my idea sim with rs. 599 on 14.09.2020.
                                        This sim is of punjab circle.
                                        Now after recharge i got message that this recharge is unavailable for my number. Then why did they recharged it? I used their official website to recharge. Now i want my full refund as soon as possible because i am unable to use any service on that sim.
                                        I had to pay again to other operator after it.
                                        So i request you to look into this matter and get it resolved as soon as possible.
