I am using Idea Cellualr prepaid Voice Subscription. From[protected] they have activated dilaer tone song on my subsription and charged 32Rs from my account. I came to know this on 8th and I called their contact centrde, They said it was activated by giving call back on phone and I respoded with somekey and it was activated. I used receive such calls asking for activation and I never responded with any key knowingly for activation.
But this time might have happened when I was picking up my phone from pocket to respond to the call. They said, the time cancel the service 2 days including the day of activation. But I came to know on 3rd day when friends had to listen when they dialed on my number and informed on the conversation. I verified and called service provider on 3rd day. They never informed me by SMS so that such service activation can be easily acknowleged. I agreed to stop the service but not the refund of 32Rs for this service. The subscription number is [protected].

Pathetic speed and untruthful representatives, Overall disgusting service provided.

Date the connection was applied : 18th Jan
Date the connection was activated: 25th Jan
Total usage of internet as per the stats: 1.6 GB
Number of calls made to the representatives/customer care – more than 10 times
Number of time I had to visit the idea care office for connection issue : 3-4 times.

Just for 15 days I was made to roam to idea office, call up the helpdesk for pathetic speed provided to me.

idea representative Vasanth (mob #: [protected] ) provided me the following information while taking the connection.

My billing cycle will be 1st of every month whereas the idea care center people inform me that my billing cycle is 16th of every month.
First 15 days of the connection will be free and I will not be charged anything, whereas idea center informs me the billing starts from day 1.

I was informed that my data usage shows 8 GB for the connection which I hardly got any service or used it and the speed is reduced to 10.33kpbs wherein a page doesn’t even load after an hour as well

Overall i was informed that i cannot disconnect my service for 3 months, which means that i have to pay them 750+taxes everymonth for the internet which doesnt even work and keep calling their helpdesk and roam to their office leaving all my work.

kindly suggest what can be done

Hello Sir/Madam,

I am Pankaj Deepak Bhadage, I am using Idea Prepaid number since 5-6 years.
My Complaint is: On 15the Jan '13 i recharged my prepaid number withe 98Rs, which is for Internet usage (650 MB). I got confirmation message theat account has been recharged and validity of thee pack is 30 Days (still have message copy in my mobile and is attached herewithe).

On 5the Feb '13 suddenly my Internet services pack got finished(withein 21 Days) and 90 Rs been deducted from my account for using Internet. At theat time i had around 240 MB data balance in my account.

When i reached to Idea Office, shown theem thee message(about 30 days validity) theey are saying thee pack has been changed and new validity is 21 days.

My Point is if IDEA has committed me 30 days validity while recharge, how can theey disconnect my Internet facility and charge me??

* Message i received from number '147' which is idea's number and customer care executive told me theat anybody can send such messages. Such a irresponsible reply i got from customer care.

Request you to launch my complaint and take some action against theis.

-Thanks & regards,

Pankaj Bhadage.

My mobile no is [protected] . I have problem with balance deduction.
Many times without any reason the balance has been deducted from my account. And when I complaints to customer care they not listen my complaints. Till today i have lost more than 1000rs from my account by this fraud deduction.

My STD has been barred due to late payment..it was barred on 11th Jan .. i paid the amount on 16th since 18 i have been calling them but still nothing has been done. on 26 i called they said it will b solved on 30th as there is some up-gradation going. I called on 30th they said it will e solved on 31st. I called on 31st they said within 24 hours. then i called on 2nd they again said 24 hours. this is being going on since today i called they said till 4 pm it would be solved. I asked them for a complaint number they said they cant give as its technical issue. Mr. AMAN floor in-charge rajasthan customer care said it will b done. but still nothing is done.

Please close down these kind of providers who cant get customer satisfaction.

I would like to draw your kind attention, to a crucial matter which seems apparently non detrimental, but calls for a deeper probing for it’s under surface doubtful nature.
As Uninor, the mobile service provider is winding up and dismantling their set up in Kolkata due to their intra corporate feud, like everybody, I was planning to port the number to another service provider, to retain my number. A lady, claiming from the cell Serv. Prov. Idea Cellular, has ringed up my wife, who continued to use the no. to be ported: [protected]. The cell no of the lady from Idea Cellular is [protected]. But the most distressing fact is that they (I am not sure about their identity) have sent a young man, and when demanded he failed to provide either any ID Card or any personal cell no. But he has managed to convince us by providing an MNP SIM, which acts as a sturdy proof on our part. But as the connection was in my name, as usual to take a fresh connection I have given him my EPIC and a photo duly signed by me. After a prolong hiatus, and intermittent call for tele -verification to the no. supposed to be ported to Idea Cellular, availed of nothing. In the mean time we have come to know that the number has already been ported and when I have rang up to now, our former no. harshly, the man on the other side has cowered and taking no more calls now. To adorn all, the no. of that lady , claiming from Idea Cellular is ceaselessly unavailable and I cannot trace/track down or charge her.
Kindly ensure that the number is not used by any reprobate criminal and my documents etc. are not misused for any mala fide purpose. My IP address is IP address - 112.79.36.8.
Thank you,

Sir my no is[protected] .i am getting a lot of customer care call i am totally disturbed plz stop these calls it is intollerable.

I am an Idea Cellular Subscriber No. [protected]. I want to Port my number from Idea to Vodafone through MNP. I put request for MNP 3 time, but Idea Cellular always reject my request with any information, update or reason. After calling to Customer Care they told me after many questions that there is some "Contract Obligations" and told me to visit your nearest Idea store. I visited "Sakshi Telecom" address "Shop No-4 Opp Maruti Gate no-1 Delhi-Gurgoan Road Gurgoan-122015" and reported my complaint. But till now there is no update about my complaint.

I request again to Idea Cellular to sought it out as soon as possible and allow me to Change my service provider without any delay.

Thanks
