      I am trying to port out from idea, i tried many times, but i receive message
      "your request for upc has been delayed. Please wait while your request is being processed".

      I tried with customer care and they it is not an idea number. All recharges are being paid as idea karnataka circle. It is weird. Also, visit to store many times, no resolution.

      I have already being struggling with bad service by idea on quality of network availability and also addressing customer request.

        My idea pre-paid no. is [protected].
        The reception of idea service in our area is less to no good so I left it only for a month with no recharge and now it says that it's barred. I've been writing to customer care asking for their help but with no response from them. I would've appreciated if they could've just suggested anything to help me un-barr it ( if it's possible).

        Thanks.

                  I recharge my phone on 30th of August at 11AM through Google pay and still not yet my phone is recharged or the fund is re-paid. On that same day itself i called the customer care service and reported the complaint, and they said that the money will transfer within 7 working days. What should I do now? You guys are providing one of the worst service in the country. I'm fed up with Idea.

                        I got two messages from idea that they have deducted Rs 15 and after that Rs 10 from my mobile which is without my consent. I have called their customer care and mailed them but still no response. They are charging me for the thing which i have not done. Please give my money back.
                        Please add Rs 25 back to my mobile. I have called their customer care so many time but still no response.

                          Idea was working just fine unless on 8th March 2020 it suddenly stopped working. I wasn't able to get any calls and was unable to use my data services. I then went to the Idea Store, they said that I have to shift to a 4G sim to get rid of the problem. So I got a new 4G Sim and since then my network barely get 3G services. I am very disappointed, but still somehow I was somehow managing it . Now, water has gone over my head so i am here, now at my house i have no signal, and data barely works like once in 2-3 days. This isn't the thing for which i recharge ever month. When I got to the Idea store they just give us the customer care number which isn't of any help. They just play the recorded message.

                                  I received a message ([protected]) from idea thanks for activating games portal. Now you can play unlimited games, click http://carbun8.in/mobgames/. i didn't click on any link and i got charged with 22rs. This is not the first time they have charged unfairly. Please take necessary action and refund my money.
                                  I have deactivated it but my money is still gone. I request to repay the money you took my fraud means.

                                  I hope necessary action will be taken soon.

                                    Yesterday[protected]Tuesday) I received a SMS in evening at 5:16 from 55435 to my idea number [protected]; one carrying a link & informing me of a deduction of RS 25/ from my main balance. That time I was sleeping and my mobile locked as no one can use at that time. After woke up I called to idea customer care number and asked about the deduction; then they answered it was for some game activation fee and it’s done from some other third party, So we can’t get the full details but we send you the reference number of that deduction. at same time idea sent me SMS mentioning with reference number “KR11155435IGGAME025T“; that i have no knowledge of & don't want also. Is this a new scam from Idea???

                                    Please look into the matter & reimburse my money.

                                        My idea sim card was blocked without any reason. I have tried to contact customer support and could not able to find an option to talk to customer care executive.

                                        I have also visited nearest idea store and got to know that i need to purchase a new sim and activate it with old number and it will cost me rs200.
