      Hi, I have done 3G Data recharge of 126 Rs (1GB) on 29th Oct 2014 and my recharge was done successfully and I have got successful recharge message. But when I am using Internet data charges are deducted from my talk time balance and 3G data balance remain same. When I called Customer Care and they don't know about ISF, Next day I went to idea store to ask regarding and they told ISF means Idea Smart Phone. I don't have a Idea Smart Phone. They are not written ISF meaning nor given terms and condition for it on their web site. I have requested to revert my balance but they denied my request told me it is not possible. Please help.

          Hi sir, This Sairam, My mobile number is [protected]. I am not getting any proper response from the idea customer care and they are literally disconnecting the call when I am irate on them. They are not giving any proper response and it's not the 1st time, I am facing this problem from last month. Coming to my issue, toady from morning onwards I didn't receive any balance deduction alert after the call get disconnected and sms sent, So I sent the so many sms from my mobile thinking that still I have sms balance. At last I came to know that all my balance was deducted. I tried to check my balance through USSD process, but it is also not working from morning onwards, For launching the complaint I make a call to the customer care and they kept the call on hold more than 5min for transferring the cl to higher authorities, but I didn't receive any response. I just warned the agent before transferring the call to the higher authorites that "IF the call is not transferred to the higher authority I will send an email to the TRAI" but the call was not transferred, The customer care for the IDEA cellular was worst in Andhra Pradesh when compare to the other Network operators, Please look into my issue and I want the money which was deducted from my main balance to be credited as soon as possible. There is no mistake from my side, USSD and alerts are not working from morning, If there is any grammar mistakes please ignore them and resolve my issue as soon as possible

            My idea no is [protected]. I've recharged 3G data plan and it finished in one day and also finished my Rs.160 balance approx. I called customer care but they are not sure why it happened or not even to bother about the origin of this issue. Now I'm frustrated and going to change network. Whenever I again recharge it again finished all the recharge done within a minute not even I can call the customer service.

              Dear Sir, 1. I had applied for porting / migration from post-paid to pre-paid for my number [protected] as I want to retain the number. Since, Friday, 24 October 14, my mobile services on the previous SIM (post paid) have been stopped. But the the new SIM (for pre-paid) has not been activated so far. 2. I was told that the services on prepaid SIM will stop at night and by morning the next day services on prepaid SIM will resume.But even after full five days the services have not been activated on the new prepaid SIM. All efforts to Idea personnel at Jabalpur, every day since Saturday morning have not yielded any results. 3. If the services are not activated on my number by tomorrow, I will be constrained to go to other service providers, if at all I have to change my number. 4. Umpteen number of requests to Idea Jabalpur, have not resolved the issue. 5. I have already submitted all the documents required for the purpose. 6. Will be great to see, if somebody at Idea Cellular, cares for the customers at all. 7. I can be reached on a Delhi number [protected]. Thanx

                          Dear Sir / Ma'm I use your network for data uses only since last two years, earlier i was on BSNL. I shifted to your network because it was good & fast at that time and i thought as the time passes and technology gets upgraded your system will also improve. BUT I WAS WRONG. As i was not getting proper speed, i complained to your customer care services and your executives suggested me to change my SIMCARD as per them my SIMCARDS were faulty. Even after changing simcards when no betterment was received in speed and i complained again they again suggested me to change my simcard. This is my fourth simcard i'm using and all were getting same speed. These are the nos.i used: 1. [protected] 2. [protected] 3. [protected] 4. [protected] Some response i got in between last one year when Mr.Harshit was here as T.S.M. he cared about these matters very attentively, he left your company & here is all the crap again . The actual problem is not in your mechanical system, its your " incompetent and lazy technical staff ", who acts like BSNL staff . Now i'm absolutely confirm that you people look good only on ADVERTISEMENTS, on reality you are only fooling your customer. Sandeep Agrawal Vill. Jamudi, Anuppur M.P. My Alternative No. [protected]

                              Dear Sir, I am using my idea cellular number for the last 7 years.My number is [protected]. My connection is Postpaid nature. I am paying regularly the amount average Rs.800/- all the month as bill charges. Unfortunately I have received an amount of Rs.1668.50/- towards call charges and internet charges for the month of October 2014. I have not yet applied for Internet connection in my number. I have not yet used internet connection from my mobile number. I am upsetting why this kind of bill send to me. I don't asked anyone to include the internet facility to my number. I didn't expect this from IDEA for an old customer. I have contacted with customer care executive at IDEA CELLULAR franchise near Government Press, Thiruvananthapuram. But the attitude was very arrogant nature. HENCE I request that the above said bill may kindly be look into and reduced to the usual amount that I have remitted regularly. I also request you to if the internet facility is activated kindly deactivated the same. If it is necessary, I will give necessary request for activation, at that time. I request that my problem may kindly be solved urgently. Otherwise I am not interested to continue to your mobile service. Regards, GOPI.K

                                    This is escalation of a complaint no. C1-[protected] for cellular No. [protected]. First-of-all, I am not hesitant here to say that Idea service is a big piece of crap. I have been charged something called pro-ration data charges in my bill. My question is why was information not given to me when I was activating the data-pack??? Now after getting the bill when I ask the your prestigious customer care the same question they say I have been already informed regarding the pro-ration data charges. (Do you guys assume that we learn this bogus pro-ration from our birth?) Secondly, when your customer care doesnot know what to answer they put the call on hold and update the details as customer have put the call on hold. reference number for this issue is C1-[protected]. I have been mentally torchered by the customer care repeating the same pre-planned unrelated answers. I need a immediate action on this issue otherwise I will try my level best to escalate this issue further and stop this bloody service (cant call it a service also) from frauding people.

                                      Idea customer care is doing fraud, here they are saying that my complaint is resolved but at the same they have sent me below mail in which they are saying totally different thing as above. I would like to say that i will not hide anything here so that people will think twice before they apply for a connection in Idea

                                      Below is the reply that i got from Idea

                                      "Dear Mr. Ahmed,

                                      Greetings of the day!

                                      With reference to your mail, we would like to inform you that as per the process your was received the correct benefit on the recharge and we cannot reverse the any amount as there is no error against your number.

                                      We truly hope that the above-details adequately address your concern.

                                      We value your association with us and look forward to your continued patronage.

                                      Regards,
                                      Gurpreet Singh "

                                      In reply i have sent this mail to Idea

                                      "for your information i did not received any benefit. my account balance was around 600mb before recharge and after recharge of 1gb my 600mb data was lapsed because of your and fraud policies and writing just a mail to me will not address my concern. all i want to get back my data deducted by you due to your company fraud policies.
                                      again i bring you notice that it was no where written or mentioned that my data will be lapsed after i do recharge and this is sufficient to drag you company in consumer court and i belong to the family of lawyers and it will be easy for me to send your company a legal notice.
                                      i hope next time you will come with the correct resolution instead of mentioning your companies stupid policies"

                                        I have already written out my details. The additional point I want to make is that if--in the event of that being the case--someone had broken into my email service and sent a wrong message on my behalf, then this can happen with the emails of all other IDEA customers, including those connected with national security and not just writing about the subject as is the case with me. Therefore, please look into my case with the utmost urgency.If no one had sent a message, please investigate how you sent me the message about Barring my service and under what circumstances. Kindly let me have a reply at the earliest and restore my service. Hiranmay Karlekar [protected]

                                        After contacting the IDEA helpline on telephone last evening, I was told that service to my number ([protected]) was closed down because of &quot;high usage.&quot; I was not clearly told what high usage meant. Be that as it may, why in that case was I sent the following messages?

                                        Dear Customer, your request for Barring on Mob.No. [protected] has been processed successfully through Communication IdC1-[protected]. We would contact you on your alternate number &amp;lt;Alternate No.&amp;gt; if required.We thank you for preferring Idea cellular and look forward to servicing you. Please note: This is an auto generated mail, kindly do not reply to this mail.


                                        Why, in the context of these messages, does the service to [protected] remain suspended even after I have told IDEA that I had made no such request?

                                        If the messages had given a wrong picture, and my connection was closed for &quot;high usage&quot;, then, presuming that &quot;high usage&quot; means the existence of a ceiling on the amount I can incur for calls and messages per billing cycle, , why did I find my connection working again after boarding the flight from Istanbul to Chicago on the afternoon of October 18? Why did it continue working until the night of October 22 when it was again cut off?

                                        What explains the second cutting off? Also, why does the service remain suspended even after I have told IDEA that I had made no such request? And why have I not heard from IDEA even roughly 12 hours after giving my contact number in the US?

                                        And if, indeed, my connection was cut off because of &quot;high usage&quot; as I have interpreted it, why was I not told that I was approaching the cut-off amount before cutting my service off? This is particularly so because IDEA sends a surfeit of messages to me including every time I enter a new State in India and the rate at which I would be charged. Similarly I was told what the charges for calls and messages would be after I had landed in Turkey. Why then no warning message--and why the entirely untrue ones-- before closing down my number?

                                        The very fact that IDEA sent me messages about rates in Turkey shows that it knew I was abroad. Did it not strike the service provider that a sudden discontinuance of my connection could put me to immense inconvenience? In fact it did. My wife, who is sixty-eight years old and I, who am seventy-six years old, were stranded in Istanbul and had to be in frequent touch with our daughter and son for arranging our stay in the city and our flight to the US from there, That is why we had to make frequent calls to them. The sudden severance of connection when we were in Istanbul and desperately in need of constant communication with our son and daughter, immensely worsened the crisis situation we were in.

                                        Why does the service remain suspended even after I have told IDEA that I had made no such request? And why have I not heard from IDEA even roughly 12 hours after giving my contact number in the US? I am a post-paid customer with international roaming facilities. I have been using IDEA for over ten years now. Treating me in such an arbitrary and peremptory manner was absolutely disgraceful on IDEA&#039;s part--and I feel that taking out an IDEA connection was perhaps not a great idea after all.
