Idea — deduct balance without use

today at morning i had total balance of 70 Rs.... i had not use my mobile whole day ....neither any call nor messages.... now in evening when i make a call to my friend i came to know that my balance is zero... i am shocked and call customer care.. they told me that i had send many STD messages which is absolutely wrong.... i had not send any message whole day...
this is the way how idea earn money by making fools of people..

Idea — Deduction in balance without any usage

Dear sir
This is to bring your kind attention that there was a deduction of Rs 8 in my mobile [protected] on 15 october 2010 and this is not the first time,even before this the same problem happened a month ago.Although Rs 8 is not a big amount but do you have any idea of how annoyed and irritated a person feels when his balance reaches suddenly 0 and he has to make an important call.Adding to the miseries is idea's message card which does not work at the time required or get expired before the validity period.When i talked to customer care executive there was no satisfactory response.Is this how idea cares for its customer,and if this continues then let me tell you no one will ever use idea's services.I am a college going student and trust me after this complain if idea do not reply on my mobile then i will surely complain to its main head quaters to tell them not to ever test the power of a student; the common people.
I hope you will help me in hightighing this problem to idea.

Thanking you
Yours faithfully

IDEA Cellular Services — Disconnection of mobile

There was deduction Rs. 20 (10 twice) from my account. for that reason I called up customer care. After the call I got an SMS that the verification of my number was negative, so I have to re-submit my documents. This all happened on 20/08/2010. The message was received in the evening and as I had my MBA classes in the weekend, I again called up the customer care to know if it was ok to submit the documents on monday i.e. 23/08/2010. The reply was positive for me.
To the utter shock of mine the connection went on hold from sunday afternoon. I again called up the customer care and was raedy to leave the class and submit the documents wherever required, however it wa not possible as the offices were closed being a sunday. I had only one question, Idea ppeople were asking me to re-submit the documents after two months of getting the connection, for thi purpose they also diconnect my number and above all they were not giving me an option to do so as their offices were closed on that.
In today's world one can imagine the imortance of phone and it becomes more important wose parents or family live in some other city. My mother calls me up from Kolkata on a daily basis and that day as she was unable to get in touch with me, her BP got increased.
Before all these, I was quite busy with Idea customer care to get rid off the incorrect deductions. How come they decided about my verification being negative all of a sudden.
I have undergone too much of mental stress due to all these for almost a fortnight and demand a strict resolution and compensation for this.

From:- T.G.Ramamoorthy, Pune. Mob NO.[protected]

I am using the above number for the last almost 4 years and using it comfortably till last month. From last month onwards I am getting SMS messages showing and threatening to submit Papers etc. since my papers were not according to their norms. Can the authority tell me what else papers they require than the following - Photographs, Residential proof showing address confirmation, PAN Card xerox copy showing photo identity, My employer Identity card showing my employment proof. These items I have submitted to the Iocal Idea dealer alongwith their printed forms, for three times. Still today also I got the same message again requiring the above papers for the fourth time. The message also threatens that if they are not given within 48 hours the service will be disconnected. I do not understand how they will be asking these papers. I am fed up with this. If they still require the same again and again, I request the authorities to refund the balance amount to me i.e. Rs.95.00 and I shall switch over to other networks who do not harass like this.

Can the Idea authorities tell me how to solve the above harassment and when to solve. I am givine here below my alternate number[protected] or residential land line number[protected]. The Idea number is given to all my friends and relatives and customers, otherwise I would have thrown away the same into dust bin and advise the people not to use Idea services.

If the authorities do not respond to the above complaint I am going to complain with Consumer Court with all proofs because I have got three acknowledgements from the Idea Dealer. I will also claim for mental harassment and claim the damages from them for loss of time and business because of their disconnection earlier two times.

IDEA MOBILE — disconnection

Idea telecom — Disconnect of SIM

I must add that I have at least submitted 3-5 times the id proofs (All India Driving Licence, Local Address, Pan card , photographs). I put the scanned copy on your mail as well. But all the time a fuss is being created. The one who verifies says it is ok and now it is in my name and issues have been shorted out. all the time after a while I am dectated for re-submission or take a post paid number. and I am being deliberately harassed .I work for cancer treatment in MP Birla Hospital the owner of IDEA as Dy Medical Supdt. and not able to concentrate due to mischief being played around me by the IDEA.
Pl arrange to return my previously submitted ID proofs which I had submitted 3-5 times to M/S Heera Telcon Satna who had provided the SIM
I am afraid that my ID is being miss used and manipulated. unless I get back the so called rejected Id proofs ,I would be in no position to re-submit.
For your very information on the strength of same very scanned ID proofs which I gave to IDEA I have opened Bank account in SBI and it was acceptable where lacs have been tranjected. I also know that Cell companies are in grand brinkmanship and allegedly operating flouting all the norms of TRI and are selling the Sim on street of Satna to get the maximum customer base.IDEA SIM/number is available on street without any paper and if one want could get in hundreds.
The presiding officer of IDEA must be inpostion to verify my ID . I am not a thief.I am a tax payer an dknown internationally. I have been on expert pannel o[censored]nited nation.
Pl stop ill treating me. I am being forced to take legal course in the matter.Pl respond urgently.

Idea Cellular Ltd — No support for complaints

Name : Sachin Shrinivas Dhayfule
My Idea no. is : [protected].
Address : Hadapsar, Pune.

I have been customer of Idea cellular Ltd from 4 years now. Week back i was trying to recharge my phone with recharge voucher of Rs. 50, when i try to do so, i was getting message which says "Invalid Voucher Id". Now this was new recharge voucher which I have taken from shop i.e it is unused. When called Idea Customer Care center, first they said this voucher is invalid you get it replace from the same shop from which i bought. I went that shop, explain him about the problem, but the shop owner said I cant replace as it is being scratched. Again I called Idea Customer Care, explain the scenario to them. In replay they said you can go nearest Idea center and get it replaced. Same thing happen in when I went Idea center, they denied to replace it. Again I called Idea Customer Care, told them about the whole thing happened with me. Now they are saying you go to Idea Main office to get it replaced. This Voucher is of Rs. 50 and they are asking me to go to Idea main office which will cost me traveling charges of around Rs.60+. Does this make any sense to me. If I am not able recharge my phone with Idea Recharge Voucher, then its Idea people duty to solve this problem, which is not happening. And the way this Idea Customer care executive speak with the idea customer is very cheap language. They just ignoring at my problem and not ready to launch nay complaint for the same. This is worst service I am provided with by the Idea Cellular Ltd. They are thinking that they are boss of Mobile Service Provider sector. I want to have some action against them. I am wasting my money and I can't tolerate by the way these customer Executives talk with the me. Please take some hardcore action against Idea Celluar Ltd. So that no other customers will get suffered like me.

Idea Cellular — Recharge amount not updated

My account balance is not updated till date.No one has replied to my mails which I had send to the customer care ,Idea's nodal & Appellete authority. I have had similar problems with Idea eailier also.Idea truely sucks.


I recharged my account through net banking at 5:57 PM on saturday 9/10/2010. I got a message from Idea saying that your money has been transferred successfully and it is being updated in your account.I waited for half an hour but my phone was not recharged. I called up the customer care(198).This is what happened :-

Customer care executive 1 - He said I can not help you call 12345 for information.

I called 12345 - that call is charged so I was not able to talk to 12345.

I called up 198 again :-

Customer care executive 2 - Said that he can not help. Asked me to call 12345 .I told him I dont have balance.He then told me to call some other number (I am still wondering what that meant). I asked him which number.He said Airtel ,vodafone (maybe he meant that you should buy another number because Idea will continue to be a pathetic service provider). He suggested another solution that go and get your phone recharged again and then call 12345 - Now that is interesting - first you dont recharge my account and then tell me to recharge my account again.Good. well done !! nice sales gimmick.If you guys think that you are the only service providers that I can bet you are mistaken.He disconnected the phone.

I decided to give a complaint and get a complaint number so I called up 198 again :-

Customer care executive 3 :- He told me it takes a maximum of 2 hours for the amount to get credited if recharged via net banking ( finally a break I thought).He assured me that my phone will be recharged in 2 hours.He gave me a complaint number :- 1-[protected].

After approximately 3 hours nothing happened :-

Customer care executive 4 :- I told him the problem.Now he tells me that it takes 24 hours for the amount to get credit. I told him to write another complaint and asked him if I can talk to his senior ( complaint number :- 1-[protected]).He forwarded the call to his senior .

Senior executive :- Don't know how senior he was but now he told me that it will take 48 hours for the amount to be credited.

sir i have received many vulgar sms from [protected] on my number [protected] pls send me detail
kindly help me from mental torture

idea pre paid phone — fraud

I HAVE AN IDEA PREPAID PHONE ([protected]). IDEA IS AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATING SERVICES LIKE CRICKET, COMPETITION, LOVE SEARCH WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE/PERMISSION AND DEDUCTING AMOUNT FROM MY PHONE. I COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO CUSTOMER SERVICE (PH NO 4444). THEY ARE TELLING THAT THE SERVICE IS ACTIVATED FROM MY PHONE. BUT I HAVE COMPLAINED MANY TIME THAT I AM NOT ACTIVATING ANY SERVICE AND TO DISCONNECT ALL SUCH SERVICES FROM MY PHONE. BUT THEY ARE ACTIVATING THE SAME EVERYTIME FOR MONEY. SO THE WORST TELE SERVICES I HAVE SEEN IS IDEA. THE CUSTOMER CARE CENTRE PEOPLE IS ALSO NOT ACCEPTING THE COMPLAINT PROPERLY . THEY ARE TELLING ONLY WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN FEEDED WITH THEIR SENIORS.
