I received a message from idea "thanks for activating games portal. Now you can play unlimited games, click http://carbun8.in/mobgames/ and enjoy the service." i didn't click on any link and i got charged with 21rs. Not once but they unfairly charged me thrice. Please take necessary action and refund my money.
I request to deactivate it and repay the money you took my fraud means.

I hope necessary action will be taken soon.

      हैलो
      आइडिया कम्पनी ४९ के रिचार्ज पर ३८rs
      secondry balance के नाम पर क्रेडिट कर रही है ।
      यानी वो बलैंस २८ दिन में खुद जीरो हो जाएगा
      सिर्फ यही नई आप उस बलैंस से सिर्फ कॉल कर सकते । मैंने कस्टमर केयर से कहा इससे डाटा करा सकते क्या तो कह रहे आप डायरेक्ट डाटा चालू कर दो वो बलैंस काटना चालू हो जाएगा पर आप रिचार्ज नई कार सकते उससे ।
      ये तो खुले आम लूट है
      ४९ के रिचार्ज करा के जो ३८ मिले उससे कुछ ना कर सकते।
      इससे अच्छा तो जिओ है १० के रिचार्ज m भी अनलिमिटेड बलैंस validity है एंड उसका रीयूज भी कर सकते।
      रिचार्ज के नाम पर ठग रहे हो पब्लिक को अब
      सब रिपोर्ट करे and complain Kate Yaha

          Address: Suman Tower, Plot no. 18, Sector 11, Gandhinagar, 382011, Gujarat

          I received a msg from "59343" at 8.18 PM depicting that carbun8|mobilegame is activated and Rs. 21/- is deduted from my balance. I didn't click any site for this. This is 2nd time my balance is deducted.
          I tried to call customer care but despite of waiting for more than 12 minutes they just put my phone on hold.

          I want to refund Rs. 21/- in my main balance and stop deducting balance without my concern.

            I tried many times to pay outstanding amount of disconnected idea number but i was unable to pay on any of the given link.
            it won't allow me to enter email address, amount to pay, i can only enter my number so PROCEED button is not clickable.

            In another link it says it is not an idea number so its not my fault.

            so your system is not working proper as a result i am not able to make payment, stopped my current services

            For any concern do reach out to me Here is my idea account number
            [96472694] .

              From too many days i am facing this internet issue on my device. Which is oneplus 5t. Network is full, its showing 4g but data speed is lower than 1 kb/sec. I have done all the settings as per guided by customer care executive & your my idea app. But my issue is not resolved.

              I have been a idea prepaid customer from more than 7 years. And i am facing this problem after two strong networks connected and i have already complained 2 times at idea customer care but they are not able to help me.

              Please help me guys i am getting double data but not even able to use 20 % of it because of very low speed.

                  Dear sir,
                  My sim card is not showing any network for last 3 days.
                  I tried to solve the problem by restarting the phone, reinserting the sim, changing the phone and even changed the sim card as well from idea store.

                  On checking with customer care, they tell me that all the services are active in my number but i don't see any network signal.

                        Hi there,

                        My mom's number was recharged twice. I recharged her idea sim by 399 early in morning at 4am...

                        But later then my brother also recharged by 399 same number...

                        How does this work... Do we get refund or does the validity increase...

                        Please assist..

                        Naziya

                                        To idea cellular,
                                        We switched from idea to airtel as idea had very poor network coverage and airtel installed a new tower in our area. So we are enjoying airtel services. But our last postpaid bill for idea is pending so we asked idea to cover-up our bill through security deposit which is higher than the amount of bill. They are disagreeing to manage our bill through deposit and give is remaining security deposit refund. Also because of this issue airtel has sent us message that if we don't pay bill of idea our services will be barred. Thus our security deposit is already with idea and they should take the bill amount through deposit.
                                        Idea Cellular customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
