Idea Cellular Complaints & Reviews

Idea will send flash messages simply and they will not give description, they sent flash message like you have free Internet, for more information click dial below number, later they have activated sms pack, even before activating they did not ask any confirmation, they will tell same word active active, they will not ask any confirmation simply they will deduct huge amount suddenly, they deducted my 19 rs in the mid night and if I contact customer care intially they will tell we will refund, they will transfer, then at the final they say we can not refund, Idea deducted my money, sucked my time, energy, idea holes, government of india, consumer court should take action against this.

I tried to recharge for Rs 38 pack, and got an error message stating - there was an error processing the request. So tried once more and it was a success. After 1 hour, I received a two messages of doubly billed at an interval of 2 mins. I asked for a refund, but a rude customer and a rude supervisor stated that it cannot be refunded by any means. Supervisor name: Sankan Gouda My concern is - Am I supposed to pay double because it was a technical error from their servers to process my request. If yes, then IDEA sucks.

Dear Sir, Regular deduction of renewal charges of VAS Video Vogue, Juice Up & Games Club. I didn't activated these services, but from last 3~4 months it is being deducted from my recharge amount. I've already tried to deactivate these services by sending SMS's but gone in vein. I think it is regular gambling practice of IDEA to harass their Customers. So I want you to please look in to the matter & arrange to REFUND my deducted amount ASAP.

I am Niteen Patil was using idea cellular post paid sim ([protected]) in Pune (Maharashtra). My bill was generated for Jun month is 3150. I wrote/ called many times to customer care & idea support team about justification. Why they have not restricted my bill at Rs. 1800 which is my maximum limitation/ cap for bill? How they allow to exceed upto 3150? After bill generation immediately they stopped my services (dataplan & out going) before bill due date. Then what is meaning of due date?? After that they repetitively calling me and sending mail to pay this amount. I told them without your satisfactory justification I wont pay bill else reduce it to 1800 then I will pay the same. Now some body saying Police from Delhi calling me any intimating about police action & some advocate from Delhi intimating about leagle court action. I am totally helpless. Please do help me.

Dear All I am using the number [protected], in spite of several follow ups with customer care, they are not activating my number & permanently stopped the services, there should be a strong legal action against the Idea cellular company.

I have taken idea postpaid connection. Paid bill for 2 months without any hurdles for the plan taken. In the month of October 2014 I have purchased Moto G2 and inserted the idea postpaid sim : [protected]. When I started the phone, used the Beam internet thru wifi, I got the message that idea 3g plan activated by default. I called the customer care on the same time and asked to deactivate all the idea internet services as I will use only internet on my phone thru beam wifi. The person from customer care gave me no to deactivate and told that no charges are going to apply to this no. I have sent message and deactivated and got message that it got deactivated and confirmed this with customer care too. Later on I got the bill which has internet balance. When I asked them about the same, they are so irresponsible that they said it was charged for using internet. I called them many times and escalated the issue, no one responded properly and I clearly told them that please listen to the call I have done . Later after trying continuously 2 months and asking for call back from the team, I got a call from idea backend team and explained them the situation he said he will waive the amount but on one condition that I should take there idea internet services around 500. I said no, I do not require any of your idea internet services, he said it is mandate to take this service in order to waive the bill amount charged on idea, so that he can send e-mail to his higher authorities stating that I already have plan but was charged so to waive the fee, which I said it is wrong to take that service when I am fighting here against wrong bill sent against internet usage after deactivation of services too. They said it is not possible without that. I said no and asked them to check and let me know. Now, I got a call saying that case has filed against the number and need to pay the amount immediately. I am so unhappy with the idea cellular that they are so irresponsible and asking user to take wrong steps for there mistakes done. I want to log a complaint against the idea cellular for harassing me and threaten me to pay the amount. Regards, Shoba

Hello, I am hereby submitting STRONG complaint for having the bill with additional charges of SMS MT for which I disagree and looks fraudulent. I was a Pre-paid customer and thought to have a Postpaid connection with corporate policy of 99Rs per month, so shifted from Pre to Postpaid connection. Since stared the postpaid connection ( last 3 bills or 3 months ), I am getting the bills with additional SMS –MT charges which is literally fraudulent. Despite of these deduction there is no new game or any power service observed in mobile. This is fraud happening it seems as by mistake also we click to download the game or any power tools service (SMS MT charges), the same thing should be accepted by Customer/me in this case by providing credit/debit details. IDEA service is blindly accepting these things on behalf of Customer and then in bill they are adding to get the amount from Customer which is fraud or illegal. Point is – IDEA is deducting the amount from customer pocket without knowing the customer which is irrelevant and wrong idea. You have credit policy to increase the credit, but I would like to have a zero (0 rupees) credit policy. If want to purchase a game then we can very well give the details of CC/Debit card and purchase it online. Online shopping also always asks for bank credential then only the transaction happens. I request you to deduct by SMS MT charges from my bills and also would appreciate if you can give the ways to BLOCK SMS MT charges in mobile. Please take the request seriously and revert with your comments. Mobile No.: [protected] Request you to STOP this SMS MT service or let me know how to STOP this services. Thanks & Regards, Pradip Kulkarni
