Idea Cellular Complaints & Reviews

This is with reference to a fraudulent commitments by the company officials/staff regarding portability of mobile number [protected] from airtel to idea. The committments are as under:

1. I am existing customer of idea having contact number [protected]. The idea officials mr. Munish (Mobile [protected], [protected]) had offered to port another mobile number to avail free conversation between mobile number [protected] & [protected] under monthly plan of rs. 125(Including service tax) .

2. That since porting to idea i.E. From november 2015, there was no free conversation and i have been chaged with normal charges.

3. About six months have been passed and the concerned is not taking my call. Every month i have been charged with late fee of rs. 50 as he suggest not to pay the bill but later on i had to pay the same to continue the services.

You are requested to resolve the issue as committed by the company and take rigid steps against mr. Munish for undue harassment of the customer.

I am Sincerely telling you these is very unprofessional or we can say this is the HIDDEN CHARGES.

Idea customer care executive Mr. Ramesh( from Kallampally idea show room) persuaded me to change my 3G connections Easy Share postpaid connection to 4G. After this upgrade my net setter is malfunctioning. Then he changed one connection to 3G. Again same error message was displayed. As per his advice, we went Kesavadaspuram Idea branch and sought help from them. As indicated by them we went Service center in Tamapanoor. Their opinion was "Since he used 3G net setter with 4G sim, the net setter got corrupted. Nothing can be done from our end."

After all these wastage of time and money and I am left with a malfunctioning netsetter.

Hi Team,

I have raised a complaint on call drops issue on 15th March 2016, Communication id is c1-[protected]. Each time they are closing the request with out providing resolution. They are saying as per the company process, they will close any ticket even if it's not resolved with in 7days.
I am using idea since 2 years and facing this issue after converting into 4G.

Dear Team,

My mobile no [protected].
On 1st April 2016 I made a TOPUP of Rs 110 and to my surprise on the same day that is on 01st April 2016 the my balance was reduced to Rs 1 only. That is there was a deduction of Rs 110 from my main balance .
So pl let me know how and why my main balance was deducted with Rs 110 on 01st April 2016.

With thanks & regards,
Wagh

I have been an Idea customer right since the inception of your company & have stayed loyal to the company despite easy portability options available now. I have three IDEA nos. as listed below :

All three nos. are presently being used on Iphone 6 / 6s with nano SIM.
We have been facing a huge problem of poor connectivity for the past one year & now call drops over the last few months. It is impossible to speak with any one while sitting inside our house resulting in huge embarrassment & difficulty, besides increasing our calling costs due to the call drops.
I have complained several times on your customer complaint no. but it seems to be all water on ducks back.
you are requested to please look into this problem & get rectified at the earliest, failing which i will be constrained to approach the TRAI.

I ported my number from airtel to idea about two weeks back (Around 10-18th of march). Since then till now, i have to call them about 15 times regarding various complaints:

1) i had called the customer care to inform even before i left pune that i will be traveling and i would need connectivity. The data did not work as soon as i left pune and remained such even after repeated calls to the customer care. I called from hyderabad and then chennai and only after repeated calls did i realize they were going to be of no help and i fixed the issues myself. One phone call that i made from chennai was helpful and one from hyderabad. The rest were all unhelpful. To this date the problem exists whenever i travel.

2) on 29th mar, my data dropped to 10kbps when the allowed limit of 1 gb expired. I called them to have it boosted and they informed me that i have raised a request for isd activation through the online account. I did register to the online account and raise a activation request for call-conferencing. Isd i did not raise. However, they informed me that my data boost request cannot be processed till the first request is complete and asked me to wait. I waited and called back on 1st apr. They then inform me that the process of the request should only have taken 2 hours and since it has been two days, it is a technical issue and that they will raise a complaint. I lose my patience and yell at them and they request me for 24 hours to fix the issue. It is 2nd april today and when i called to check regarding the request, the agent informs me the call history for friday reads query regarding request status and there is no history of the complaint i made on friday or the fact that i am waiting for a resolution.

In these two weeks since i ported it to idea, i have had to call them close to 15 times and not once have i received a return call from idea to check status or help with resolution, except for one call during my time in chennai (By which time i had already fixed the problem myself).

I am sick and horrified with their service, but i am unable to port it out to vodafone as well now - because of the 90 day period i need for port out.

While i have no choice but to wait it out till i can port to vodafone, i really needed to complain about their service because i do not want other consumers to go through this. Please do something!

I'm using my mobile to browse internet daily.. But now a days while browsing some Idea Cellular's advertisement type page will come when clicking on a valid link.. That means, navigated to a false page.. It's very annoying for a user.. Please take necessary actions against such illegal activities which is frustrating their customers..

The following is that false page:

Thanks..

Hello sir,
It is very shocking that my wrong and high bill generated when asked to correct my bill, start calling to my family members and relatives using abusing words.
I have not received my bills since last 4 months. Suddenly i received calls from someone from idea. That my bill is due for 3800. This was threatening calls from idea numbers [protected] from idea saying that she was calling from idea sec- 64 noida. Then i simply asked her to correct my bill as because this is a wrong bill & i was not receiving any bills from idea for last 4 months and this is not the correct bill as per my usage & you have closed my number 2 month ago. Then she shouted on me to pay bill immediately. She said the she has my idea call history and will call to all my family members & relatives. I asked why you will you call to my relatives? If i have already provided my alternate number. Who has given this rights to call to family members or relatives? Then she start shouting and abusing me literally.
Sir last 4 days they have taken numbers of my family and relatives from my idea call history & are calling to my brother, sister, mother, uncle father in-law everybody in my family, threatening using abusing language.
They mentally harassed me & my family. I am in depression now. Don't know what to do?
Sir, i am ready to pay my correct bill. But this absolutely unbearable. They idea is taking help from criminals. My mother is a heart patient. If something happened to her. I will not forgive anyone those are responsible for mentally harassment.

Sir,

Please acknowledge me asap .
I shall be highly obliged to you for this kind work.
My no. Is [protected].
Currently, i am in a-1 east arjun nagar, shahdara, delhi 32.

My idea mobile number is [protected] and recently I changed my net plans to 3G and in the starting it gave very high speed let me mention the pack was 1gb unlimited but when I utilised 450 mb the speed went down I reseted my mobile and also contacted the customer care he told me to reset the setting and restart my phone and I did so but my speed is still being capped by the company they are conning me.

Hello team,

I have been a loyal customer of idea and had been using the idea connections since quite a ling time.

The customer service you offer is lots better than other service providers. However this time when i called 198 and had a very unpleasant experience.

It is appalling to witness an employee of a reputed customer service departmentbehave in such a manner. I was both shocked and disappointed to have been treated this way and believe you should be made aware of your employee's actions.

I trust this is not the way that idea cellular does business and that you will mention my concern.

I am open to discuss the matter further and should hope that you will respond with a solution to prevent this incident happening again.

I look forward to hear from your team.

My number is [protected].

I have using two idea number [protected] and [protected] in corporate plan.
i got a call to change my plan and i asked that whether i will be charged any extra amount and got a reply that no other charges will be incurred. i have got 212 RS for 1 day for[protected] and 624 Rs for 3 days for [protected] as proration charges.

First Question: why ur executive call between the bill cycle and why they dont tell about proration.
Second Question: this happens with each customer who change plan in between bill cycle then you should mention it before making the change in plan.
do needful.

My complaint with complaint number[protected] is being closed without resolving it.
First of all its their fault of charging rs 50 from my account without any valid reason for the reason they call --"incorrect charging".The complain got registered on 29th march.
Secondly they give false promises to resolve it by 30th march 10:17:00am.
Snapshots attached at the end
31st march i talked to customer care regarding my refund he mentioned because of internet connectivity there is a little problem in sending refund from past 1-2days and that refund would be done soon.
Then i get a sms saying your complaint no 1-[protected] has been resolved.You interacted with pratyush_kumar if satisfied please type y else n.I send n since my complain has not been resolved.I get a call from [protected] asking me justification of why i had sent n in sms.I conveyed the entire thing to her.But she continued to give unnecessary and point less information.
Then today i checked for my complaint status it started saying that the service request id is invalid.Overall they have harassed me to an extend that i cant be explained in words.
