Hi, I am an Idea post paid customer. i have received excess charges in my bill on account of WAP download though i have not downloaded any data and even though i have data package on my cell number. Spoke with idea executive but got reply that they cannot help me in this matter. So i had applied for the portability to vodafone as i this is the second time they are charging me extra charges. After that i got a call from idea customer care executive to know the reason of port. I explained him the reason. He told me to pay Rs 440 and idea will give me the waiver of extra amount. I paid Rs 450 . Today they disconnected my outgoings. I called customer care . they said there is no request. U need to pay all amount. Please Help. my mobile no: [protected]

I was not satisfied with the resolution which was provided on 05th August 2013. I want the refund amount of Rs 90 which was incorrectly levied by your company. I have already told your colleague that whenever the plan is getting over they should send sms but you don't have facility whenever we recharge the amount you send sms or whenever we recharge activate GPRS then you send sms, so when the plan is getting over then why sms is not sent? Also I have told your colleague that MB was remaining in my account but your system has not calculated the properly Its not my problem. I want the refund back as it was a error from your end.
Also from last one months Idea Cellular network is giving lot of problem. Network get dropped automatically while speaking to someone. Is their any problem in Andheri Area?

Hi,
I contacted to Idea sales person named 'Kishore' to get connection.then He can at my flat and give demo.He asked me to do payment and then installation of internet connection will be done in 3 days at your flat. I did payment at Idea centralized Account via netbanking on that time itself. And then on 4th day of payment idea technical person came for installation but he said that there is some address related issue. So he return back without any installation.
Since then i am contacting regularly to Kishore and technical person and even their team leaders. But they were saying it will done tomorrow.In this manner half of month has been passed.
Now these guys saying that your request has cancelled.
Please help me to get my money back or internet connection.

Dear Sir, My Mobile no is [protected] As per attached screenshot from ideacellular site I have done 3G Data recharge of 127 Rs (1GB) on 27th Oct 2013 and my recharge was done successfully and I have got successful recharge message “RCH done. MRP Rs 127 NEW BAL, Plan : 1 GB, 3G data valid for 30 days”. But when I am using internet data charges are deducted from my talk time balance and 3G data balance remain same. When I am checking my data balance using *125# number it shows “Data Bal in ur accoung 1024.00 MB valid till Nov 24 2013”. When i have called Customer Care and they told ISF means Idea Smart Phone and u will use this, I don't have a Idea Smart Phone. They are not written ISF meaning on their web site. I have requested to revert my balance but they denied my request told me it is not possible. Please help me

I am using Nokia Lumia 720. before the software update, i can connect to internet. but after the Amber, no access point anymore. i cant connect to internet anymore. I downloaded Lumia System Updater, installed access point, manually set the GPRS for SUN since I am using such network, (got this idea from internet research) but still it doesnt work.

I tried adding different profiles in access point - SUn Wap, Sun GPRS, SuN Call n Surf, still no progress. Is the problem in the phone? in the newly installed software of Nokia? in the network? I've registered to a lot of surf promos but I just ended up wasting my load.

Im so confused! Pls help!

Respected Authority,

I opted idea 199 STD plan but the company started 199 local plan.

due to wrong plan activation, 1st moth i got high bill but still paid that amount after taking to customer care...

But next month again high bill amount. This time again I talked to CC but no satisfying response. I decided not to pay amount.

Local guys started threatening me that recovery agent will do all recovery.

I am surprised that it is really a super frustrating experience I have ever experience in my life.

for full story plz contact me at[protected].


Frustrating customer of IDEA,

HI team, Today i.e. 24/10/2013 at 11:58am, I got a SMS from idea saying Rs.50 deducted from yuor account for 'Downloading Gamezone from HandyGo". even though i have never accessed this website and they have dedudcted my balance for no reason. On talking to customer service, their executive was rude and did not want to revert my balance into my account. And they said even if you raise a complaint on this forum they will give you the same reply. This has happened to me earlier also, they once deducted some amount of money for a sms pack in the middle of the night. After talking to the customer service, they credited the balance back into my account. This is clear harrassment of the customer and the customer service is very rude and dont want to help.

I have received harassing calls from idea today innumerable no of times inspite of making my payment by the due date. The executives are using abusive language over the phone, . I would llike you to know that we are using 3 postpaid numbers of idea and have always paid our bills on time. But the kind of conduct that idea is giving to its customers is really bad. You expect us to pay the bills on time so we also expect the kind of service on time. I have made so many cals to your customer care no also but none of your authorised person have been avaible to listen to my complaint. And I havent received any call back also for the same inspite of registering my complaint. So basically what i understand is that we have to take such a conduct from your employees for being loyal customers with your company.

On 20 Oct, I had made a recharge of Rs. 751 for 4GB unlimited . After the limit was exhausted my speed was limited to 80Kbps, so I again recharged for Rs. 751. But my speed is still 80 Kbps and yet to get benefit of 3G speed. This was also confirmed by one Mr. Sarfaraz Saiyed 02 from your Technical department after I raised a complaint (1-[protected]), who promised to activate the 2nd 751 voucher . While I got a message saying that the complaint is resolved my speed is still 80Kbps ( downloads @ 80/8 = 10 KB/s) I called to launch an appeal on 198 but your CSExecutives refused to register my appeal saying that I had already used 4.4GB. While, on my mobile I get a message saying Freebie Used: 423 MB, that too @ 80Kbps and not 3G speed. Your system is DEFINITELY at fault but your executives say otherwise. I feel harassed by your executives, not ready to listen to customers. I went to the Idea showroom, the data specialist manually calculated the data usage from the 2nd Rs 751 recharge made at 6.53 pm. The total data usage he got was around 500 MB used out of 4 GB. The same data specialist was arguing with me that I had used all 4 GB data. When I asked him what was the total usage from 20th October till date he said that system was showing 6GB. Since I had done 2 recharges of Rs. 751 I was suppose to get atleast 4GB+4Gb which is 8 GB plus more than 1GB remaining from the earlier Rs. 651 3G pack which was active before I did the first Rs. 751 recharge. If I have used only 6GB from 20th till date, how come I have used all 4GB from the 2nd Rs. 751 recharge. I have asked for a data usage report from 20th till date so I can manually calculate the usage since the specialist are unable to do this simple calculation. Request is registered very eager to look into it. After every data session I get message saying total freebie used is 600 MB. If this is not proof enough that I have not use the 4GB., what is. Doesn't this not amount to CHEATING & FRAUD?

While surfing on internet i clicked on a pic which redirected me to symbiotic and I received a message saying "Dear Customer thank you for downloading fun_zone from symbiotic. You have been charged Rs. 30." Now the tragedy is it happened thrice. I also received messages saying thank you for downloading Express_mall etc.
Rs. 90 were deducted from my balance without any permission or authorisation from me. This is a seriously fraudulent enterprise IDEA has entered into with SYMBIOTIC for cheating people.
My no. is [protected], and my name is Jeet Pathak. My no. is registered in m.p. Please take immediate action against IDEA for cheating people and robbing their money.

Thanks
