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.

            Address: Idea store

            2 days back my sim stopped working and I visited near by Idea Store, kurnool road, Ongole, 523001.

            They informed the sim needs to be replaced with new one and they provided me with new sim card and charged 250 rs/-, when asked them they told yes it is official.

            Where as i never came across this type situation, theat charging 250 rs/- for a sim card replacement, even if it is official it should not more then 50 rs/-

                  Hi,

                  While i was recharging the idea number with idea web portal and myidea app, the save card for future transactions option was enabled.
                  Now i wanted to remove the saved cards, but i didn't found any option.
                  When i called idea customer care, they are saying there is no option for that.
                  If we didn't login also, the saved cards will show on payment page.
                  Company will be responsible for every fake and illegal transaction in future.
                  Rectify the error ASAP.
                  THANKS.

                                In my area the internet speed is good but there is very latency. I am unable to play any game. I had complained lots of time but they are saying we are enhancing our network in your area. I have a plan of 700 but now i feel i had done a very big mistake of choosing idea.

                                    Hello,

                                    I ported my jio phone number to idea recently. Yesterday my jio network got disconnected and i inserted my idea sim. I was advised by idea agent to call 59059 after inserting idea sim. When i tried calling the above mentioned number, it does not connect. Kindly resolve this issue as this is my primary contact number. My phone number is [protected].

                                    Thank you.

                                      My idea sim card, which I had bought from Hyderabad, is not receiving any signals in Mumbai since the last two-three days. It was working just fine before that. I tried all these steps:
                                      1) putting sim in slot 1
                                      2) setting up in manual network
                                      3) calling customer care and verified that sim is activated
                                      4) restarting the mobile

                                      Still the issue is not resolved. Please help me resolve my issue.
