This is to bring to your notice (I don't know how many times I have to do this) the huge number o[censored]nsolicited telemarketing SMSs and calls I receive.

While I routinely delete the messages, now I got one yesterday from IZ-55456 informing me that I have been enlisted as subscriber at Rs 40/- a month-- god knows for what. I tried to deactivate my subscription by sending an SMS to 155223 but I simply could not do it. I cannot imagine anything more absurd than this. I have never given any consent to anything like this and I cannot even stop it. Pl block it once and many others, such as[protected], BA-VnV and many others. This is simply getting too much. I often miss important SMSs because I am not sure which one is genuine and which one is one and there is no way I can go on checking every SMS I get.

And marketing callers have a peculiar knack of bugging when one is extremely busy in some meeting or other. Hope you take this seriously and deal with this.

Thanks

Hello,
I was using idea net setter [protected],name of prem peeyush for last five months,now i have shifted to bhopal for some reason and here the connectivity of the net setter is very bad.i will request you to kindly discontinue this facility from IDEA.I ensure you for the payment which has not been made.

Thnaks
Prem peeyush.

I have received a SMS reading “ Your daily Idea Game Box subscription has been renewed.You have been charged Rs.5 for 1day.To unsubscribe SMS UNSUBGBX to 55435.Sender: BL- Indiagam.”

I had never subscribe for the daily Idea Game Box.

Immediately I had sent SMS to UNSUBGBX to 55435 for not to renew but SMS remains pending. Since then I have been charged Rs. 5per day from 05.10.10 to till date while I never requested/utilized for any such service .

You are requested to help me for refund of money charged, I had been charged by customer care during complaint but the customer also could not help out from this unwanted charge.Now I am not recharging my prepaid account due to un-satisfied service of the Idea Cellular service.
It is the great disadvantage if the cellular services for un-wanted charges applied by them.

Hi,
My mother is using IDEA sim just for making calls, on the 1st October there was a message from IDEA that some combo pack has been activated @ Rs 2/day. we had not subscribed for any such combo packs, there was a toll free number also present in the sms for deactivation, I called the toll free number and pressed the numbers so as to deactivate the service. I also called customer care . PLEASE NOTE THE CUSTOMER CARE NUMBER FOR IDEA IS NOT TOLL FREE, FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN CALL TO CUSTOMER CARE IS BEING CHARGED.
The customer care professional was not of much help, he kept repeating that his system is showing that we have activated the service whereas we had never done so, I told him about the deactivation stuff, he said it was fine. I even spoke to his supervisor Biltu Saha who kept repeating that the service was enabled from my end, they were least bothered to hear to my complaint.
Next morning I get the same sms for combo pack, I call up customer care again and this time the same Mr. Biltu Saha says the procedure for deactivation would not work since the toll free number was not working. He never bothered to tell me this during the first call, THIS IS HOW THEY HARASS CUSTOMERS AND MAKE THEM SPEND MONEY ON CALLING CUSTOMER CARE. He took a complaint for deactivation and said the service would be deactivated by next morning 10 am. 2 days after that I get a sms that the request for deactivation could not be services, please contact customer care. AGAIN I CALL UP CUSTOMER CARE AND SPEND MONEY ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE SERVICE HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED. THE SMS MAY HAVE BEEN SENT BY MISTAKE. THE LADY KEEPS ME ON HOLD FOR 10 MINS BEFORE I HAND UP WHEN I ASK HER TO CONNECT ME TO HER SUPERVISOR.
This kind of service is not expected. I've planned to throw away the SIM once the amount I've recharged gets over.
I would request you to take strict action against IDEA for these fraudulent practices.

I have purchased a prepaid idea sim with no [protected]. I submitted all the documents required forprepaid connection. After my Sim was activated i also recharged it by Rs201 sucessfully. After two days of activation my no. was disconnected and on enquiry i was told to resubmit the documents at the nearest IDEA showroom.
I again submitted the douments on 1st Oct2010 at Balanagar IDEA
showroom in Hyderabad. But still my no is not been activated. It has been
more than 15 days when i have purchased the SIM and is not able to use it.
I have repeatidily tried to solve the problem with the help of IDEA
customer care of AP as well as the IDEA showroom in balanagar hyderabad
but in vain. On 5th Oct i was told that my no is corrupted and it won't be
able to re-activate it and i wont be refunded the Rs 201 recharge amount
as well as the 36 Rs sim charge.
Thus i request your kind intervention in this matter to get my sim
re-activated by directing the concerned people or provide for the refund
of the recharge amount.

Hello Respected Sir/Madam,

I am Idea Net setter customer and my Idea number is[protected].
I have a complain against my August as well as September 2010 bill.

I have 299 rs - 500 MB free download plan.
I am using Idea USB device only with my Laptop , Every month 1st date i am resetting it to 0. No one else uses this card and i also dont use with any other laptop or

any other pc.

As per your company's "Idea Net Setter" tool, at the end of the september month (30-th september), it is showing
Upload Data = 88.12 MB and Downloaded data = 396.31 MB. so total will be 484.43 MB which is well less then 500 MB.

Then also i got charge for extra usage of 80 MB = 160.00 ruppees. so that means my total usage as per your idea net setter should be 580 Mb. i can understand that tool

may not be 100% accurate , but its impossible that the diffrence between the total usage will be 580 - 484.43 = 95.57 MB. How that is possible?
SO either your tool is showing wrong or either the amount for which i am getting charged that is wrong.

Same thing happened for me for August month. and that time customer care person gave me 150 rs discount.
I am not asking for duiscount for september month, i want to know why there is a diffrence of 95.57 MB? how that is extra?

I had a word with Customer care executive "Snehal " as well as "Vishal Brahmbhatt - Handling MI", They told me they can not help me in any way. and asked me to contact

the customer care.

Apart from that i am getting charged for Late payment fee of 11.62, but when i raised a query with snehal, he told me he will update me about the bill date and even if

i am getting charged he will reversal it.
But now today when i visited Idea customer care office - sector 16, he kept quite on this.

So as a result of this what i am understanding is what ever idea will charge i have to pay with out any doubt. so may be tomorrow idea will charge for 10 GB and ask me

to pay the amount. I am not getting this as fare play and want to know the exact reson behind this.

When i told that i have taken screen shot of the idea net setter tool, Vishal is telling that is not the proper way. then what is the proper way? can you please tell

me. I also attached september net setter screen shot with thisn email.


First of all i want to get this issue resolve and then only i want to pay the bill. Please stop cheating customers like this.


Please call me on +91 [protected]. I have called minimum 30 to 40 times and also visited idea sector - 16 office minimum 15 times for this issue. still i have not get

justice for this.

Idea Cellular has been popularising discount scheme called " Double talk time" for Post Paid users.
There was a call on 11th of Sept saying "Your number has been selected as preferred user and we are giving a discount of Rs. 75/- for next one year" When asked for charges, it was clearly stated that there are no charges whatsoever on this scheme. So I activated the scheme.
But to my shock Idea deducted Rs 750/- for this scheme in the next month's Bill.
I enquired through mail to which no response was given.

Sir,
I lost 2 idea prepaid sim cards ( Nos: [protected] and [protected]) with purse while travelling by bus. I have tried to suspend the service to my sim cards requesting at idea outlet in person with address proof and copy of my reciept of the petition from cherpulasseri Police Station. But they refuse to block the sim telling that no such facility available for prepaid costemers. when dialing my lost sim numbers the phone rings and somebody attended after a number of attempts, but the answer was "Babbbaabbba". It is sure that the number is being used by sombody.
I request that the facilty may be given to all subsribers to suspend the service at least from the connection issuing authority
Thanking you
