Sir,
I totally deny u r statement that there is no recharge of Rs.31 on 11.1.2013. I have the SMS on my mobile received from 3891 and the same can be produced in future. And more over the validity for the plan 1/2 paise per second throughout india is valid till 10th Feb 2013 and unnecessary recharge done on 23rd jan 2013 has to be refunded by u immediately and ensure that the previous plan continues till the validity period expires.
I wish the concern staff donot waste the time further by baseless arguement and waste of time.
Looking forward for u r timely action.

Regards

Sir/Madam,
Thanks for accepting the mistake atleast by now without further arguement.
As u said the plan had been revised on 10th Jan 13 without any prior information, u r suppose to refund the amount of Rs.31 which was recharged on 11th Jan 2013 and again recharge done on 23rd for Rs.31/- beliving that the plan of half paise per second still exists as there was no any info from u r end u are suppose to refund the amount of Rs.31/- which totally is Rs.62/-. As it has already caused loss of money as i would have not made long duration calls from Idea network as i have the same benifit with Tata Docomo i would have made calls from my docomo number and more over i am still wasting my time behind u for asking refund. If the same continues i will be compelled to approach the consumer court and will have to fight for the refund and the previous plan till validity date.

I once again request you to come for amicaple settlement to save time and other loss/damages caused by you.

Sir/Madam,

This shows your fraudlent motive to cheat the the subscribers in order to mint /swallow the hard earned money of the common man and suck the blood of the common man. I[censored] cheat Rs.31 or more from each customers u can mint money in crores.
But never under estimate every customers which will lead to heavy damages and waste of time and u will be sole responsible for all the losse and damages occured to me as i will be loosing lots of time and money to fight for the right to avail the plan atleast till the validity date and the excess amount of Rs.31 along with the other damages.

I would like to give u one more chance before proceeding legally. Atleast by now try to resolve the issue amicably immediately.

              Hi,
              Actually I'm an idea prepaid mobile user. Recently I'm facing problems related to internet usage.
              Briefly, I've recharged with RC 16(100Mb). But I got only 80Mb for that. After that also when I was using internet it was showing anonimous usage messages like when connected to internet it was showing 60Mb& when I've switchoff the internet it was showing 70Mb like that. Finally I've been charged more than what I used, from the past 15 days.
              I've tried to get compensated from Idea. But customer care persons said that, "So many people are facing the problem. We will try to resolve the problem. But money will not be returned back". After that I've taken screenshots related to internet usage messages on my mobile with date&time. Now I would like to raise a complaint against Idea cellular services regarding "Anonymous internet usage bills". So please take it serious because so many people are facing this issue.....

                Dear Sir,
                I am an Idea Post Paid (adonis199) user since Feb 2012 with monthly rental of Rs 199/ and charges as per plan.

                While purchasing this plan I was informed that this plan will continue till I want to continue and no change in either monthly rental or charges will be altered.

                Recently I received a SMS indicating that my Monthly charges will be Rs225/- from this month bills.

                I would like to draw your attention that while taking plan a lot of promises like 'no change in monthly rental as well as plan' will be made in futue. But after few month you change the plan.

                I called customer care who informed that this adonis199 plan is closed now. OK this plan might have closed and not available for new customers, but being old customers and using this adonis 199 plan how you will increase the monthly rental.

                I hope the operator should not increase the monthly rental from Rs199/- to Rs225/- to the existing customers.

                I shall be thankful if you will look into the matter and inform me at the earliest.

                      I am Manisha I bought an idea net setter prepaid connection . Now its not working and its been 2-3 months i haven't recharged so now i want to recharge it so i don't have the sim mobile number so i called the idea customer care. But the staff to whom i spoke on 26jan was not able to help. I asked whether he can retrieve my account by my name or contact number or any other details. but he directly said no and he asked me to visit to any idea office which is very far from my home. I am very upset and now i am very much scared that my money is wasted for this connection.

                        R/Sir,
                        My name is Lakhvir Singh.I am using Mobile Prepaid Connection Of Spice Telecom for Last Four Years having Mobile No.[protected].The company usually deducted my balance without any request of Activation of services.Today morning they send me a Messege That SUVICHAR service is activated and Rs.30 has been deducted.Kindly wave of my balance and take a strict action against the Company.


                        A harsh Consumer :

                        Lakhvir Singh
                        C/o Dinesh Kumar Gupta( Chartered Accountant),

                        Idea — unwarranted deduction from account

                        ear sir,

                        1. I am getting services if Idea prepaid for last3 months..My mobile no is [protected] (Prepaid customer).
                        2. I had incorrect deduction of charges since last few days (Rs 1/ day and Rs 5 somedays)...for friend chit chat and other services without my consent.I keep getting messages every two minutes which has become an irritant for me as it hampers my efficiency at job.
                        3. I called to idea customer care center on 198 on 04 june 11 for deactivation these services. I did not get any positive response and was dissatisfied with service.
                        4. I therefore request you to look into this matter and provide necessary help to deactivate the service with immediate effect.

                        Thanks
                        Ganesh
                        Dear Sir,

                        We wish to inform you that refund of Rs.30/- has already been updated for your Idea account. On 28/01/2013 For further assistance, kindly contact to our Idea customer care helpline.

                        Regards,
                        Idea Cellular
                        This is Rashmi !

                        The same thing happened to me also. Today (24 april 2013), while I was using Idea internet, all of a sudden, I received above mention msg from 54300 and Rs 30 was instantly deducted from my balance.

                        I never applied for any such subscription. Infact, I haven't ever heard about this (Idea Talkies) service before.

                        I request Idea to kindly redeposit the amount (which is unjustly deducted) in my balance.

                        Just because of this kind o[censored]nwarranted and inappropriate deductions in the past, I already have activated DND on my Idea no. [protected].

                        So, I request Idea to not deduct any amount WITHOUT ANY PERMISSION from the UNWILLING subscriber. I have suffered before. I got 2G internet activated on my mobile. Then IDEA itself decided that I need 3G internet and itself activated it which cost me an amount of around Rs 55 0. I complained about it to customer care and was told dat nothing could be done except deactivating the 3G which IDEA has so nicely forced on me.

                        I don't understand why you have to stoop to such tricks to cheat a customer out of his money. It is obvious dat if a person needs 3G connection, he/she will go and get a 3G recharge on his own. Why force it on the one who is quite happy with d 2G pack.

                        I was quite angry with Idea's trick but didn't know what to do when the customer care so easily washed their hands of it. But this time I most assuredly want my money back.

                        Pardon my language if it went wrong somewhere, but All of dis makes me wonder -
                        Is it worth for IDEA to earn Rs 30 or Rs 550 in these manners and loose a customers of (7-8 years) trust in them.

                        I once again request to to kindly redeposit Rs 30/- to my no. [protected].
                        Hope to get a reply and my my money back soon...

                                  Idea — Problem in Incoming call

                                  I am using Idea post paid connection ([protected]) for the last 5 years. For the last 1 & half month I am facing a problem in my incoming calls from certain numbers. I have complaint to customer care many times but its not solved yet. Because of this I have made a loss of not less than 2.5 lakhs business. Now if it is not solved within the next two days I am planning to go legally. And another thing is now the customer care head of Kerala is Ms Deepika Menon to whom I have never able to speak. For the last 1 year I have called many times to her number ([protected]) it will be either switched off or Not in coverage. Till now i have never able to speak to her. Some times some other person may pick the call and say she is not in the Desk. I doubt that is a peson named Deepika Menon is working there.
                                  This is the same thing I am facing. I am also not able to speak to the customer care head.

                                    Mobile Number Deactivated without prior Intimation and not reactivating
                                    My mobile no. [protected] on 21.01.2013 my number deactivated by Idea celular ltd without any prior intimation and no information was given to me reasoning why my mobile number deactivated, Even though it is in use.
                                    why the reason is must there to disconnect, according to your wishes you discoonect my number without informing, according to you why should i take other connection i need that number.
                                    In the consumer complaint cannot take any action to the idea cellular, for my complaint he is freely escaping from my complaint to take his new connection. why should i had to take his new connection.
                                    I think no use of this complaint just it to my problem and doesnt get resolve of problem.
                                    Dear Sir,
