Date: 19.02.2010
Place: IIT Bombay, Powai
Dear Sir/Madam

I came to mumbai and thought of availing IDEA mobile services. I just heard that they have good customer care services. I bought a prepaid card on 4th or 5th of jan 2010 and soon realized that my thinking was wrong. Within one and half month of stay in mumbai tells me that IDEA cannt be a good customer care service provider and the reasons and experience i wanted you to look at for improvement

This is my 2nd worst experience with IDEA service and customer care services. Services to my mobile no. [protected] is been hold for 2nd time. I was told by customer care every time that after submitting the documents to nearest idea showroom/gallary your services will be active within in 4 hrs and it took 2 days for activate my services even with the lot of follows with customer care people.
This time since 16.02.10 afternoon my mobile services is kept on hold and reason is that documents verification not done. I didnot understand, when i resubmitted the documents on 08.01.2010, why the question of verification arises after ~1 and half month. Anyway then i realize that is what IDEA is!!!
I resubmitted all the necessary photocopy of the documents namely, driving licence,passport, college ID card, PAN card on 17.02.2010 at 4pm at Samvene Telecommunication in andheri. Customer care told me that services will be reactivated within next 4 hrs, but it didnt happened. Then I called to customer care and the new story arises that this card is registered with some other name. When i confirmed earlier it was in my name now what happened suddenly that change my name. And after that I talk several times to customer care executives like Vanita, Sandip, Chetan, Nilam and so many. Every time i got the different answers that your services will be active in next 2 hrs or 4 hrs. Each time they took a request and says the request no. will be message to my mobile, i also convey them that i am not receiveing the message but nobody cares for it. Then i started writing the no. couple of request nos are [protected] (dated 18.02 at 1.30pm by vanita where i was informed that in next 2 hrs services will be active);then at 5pm i was told by chetan that in next 2 hrs you will receive a call and your services will be activated (I realized the poor nework of IDEA after coming to mumbai. I dont get a nework in IIT BOmbay hostels so i thought of being in the network and walk out to the place where i can attend the call. i waited for ~3 hrs but no call came.); then at ~8.30pm i again called to CC and one more request has been taken up by sandip [protected] saying that this time whether you receive a call or not your services will be activated in next 2 hrs.
Now i dont know what is mean by 2 hrs to the IDEA customer care centres, I will be happy if you could tell me that??
The next day 19.02.2010 again i talked to CCE (customer care executive) yogita and su
pervisor nilam and i got the another commitment that your no. will be reactivated in next 24 hrs.
In the today’s hightech world what is this going on. Why the reactivation should take this much time, then i realized if i am getting different answer all the time there is no customer care only customer harrasement is going on.
1. There is no synchonization among the customer care and the people sitting in idea showroom/gallary.
2. Defination of services activation time vary from executive to executive some says 8hrs and some says 24hrs and then there is condition apply to it like working hrs non holiday hrs etc etc.
3. I think customer care centre of IDEA is not for the care it is for harrasing the customer who avails their services.
4.When i reach to idea showroom/gallary i found that there are many people with the same complaints, the problem is that IDEA will make you live with service problem.
5.I am investor in IDEA company also now i understand the reason why its share is not increasing.
I must say IDEA has change my view about IDEA.

Hence i decided not to the part of customer of such pthatic service provider who harrase the customers and troubles.
I kindly request you to disconnect my no and please return the documents submitted and balance money in my account (Rs 39.01) by DD in the name of Atul Wankhade at the following address
Atul Wankhade
H8 Room no. 29,
IIT Bombay,
Powai, Mumbai-400076

I dont know how IDEA will reimburse for the my time taken, troubles given, harrasment done and mentle stress given to me. And even for the expenses of travelling to the idea gallary. Though i am not expecting it from a service provider like IDEA, i will be happy if i will be informed about this.

regards
your harrased customer

    Respected Sir / Madam,

    I Pushkara Nair one of your old customer. My cell no. is [protected] . From last few days he is having problem with your service. The problem is of reduction of balance without any subscription or activation of service.

    From the day i top up my card with the 32 rs recharge voucher I have been recieving message that 5 rs have been deducted from your account on a daily basis.

    My balance is been deducted everyday of Rs 5 though I didn’t activate any service on my mobile. Today I discussed this matter with your customer executive but satisfactory reply not given by them.

    This was the worst experience as the customer care executive first of all dint provide me proper details and then I was requested to call at 198 and then 12345. This was just a crap without any proper resolution.

    So I kindly request you to stop autoactivation service if any you have started like other mob. companies & refund me my balance of daily rs 5 which has been deducted for the past 10-12 days.

    Your co-operation is expected.

    Also take this matter on priority as this is not any kind of JOKE!!!

    PLEASE PROVIDE ME THE ENTIRE DETAILS AS THIS IS A MATTER O[censored]RGENCY.

    I would request you first to contact the customer if you people are activating any service the money does not come from trees. This is the worst customer experience I ever had.

    I want my balance to be reimbursed at the earliest and if any kind of service activation done needs to be deactivated at the earliest.

    Regards,
    Pushkara Nair

    I, Pushkara Nair having idea Prepeid connection ([protected]) was promised by the Idea customer care executive that the 50 rs which had been wrongly deducted from my account due to VAS activation would be reimbursed within 17 hours and now it has been 3 days since my account has not been still credited with the 50 rs.

    IS this the kind of service provided by one of the largest service providers.?

    Please look into the matter at the earliest and have the money reimbursed or else never make false promises to the customer or ditch them.

        I closed my post paid phone no [protected] in AUGUST 2009 and by mistake ended up paying them extra amount which was more than the BILL. Since then they told me that they will refund the money back after 3 months ie in NOV but till now no money has been refunded. When ever i email them they only say we tried calling you but your no is not available or say we are reseraching the case.

        my current phone no is [protected]

        here is their replies:

        Dear Concern,


        This is to bring your kind notice that I am using Idea corporate numbers since last 1.5 month. While buying these numbers i got a commitment from Idea end that in my New Super 99 plan the calls between both numbers would not be charged (CUG activated). I went to IDEA showroom (Noida Sec- 63)also to confirm the same and the lady named Alka was sitting there and said, that CUG on both numbers is activated. But now when I received my both numbers bill it says that the calls made between both numbers are being charged.


        Request you to look into this on urgent basis. And revert. And also waive off the amount charged between calling of both numbers.

        Numbers are: [protected]
        [protected]
        Both numbers are on my name: Gaurav Chopra
        Address: A- 36, Sec- 64, Noida (2nd Floor)


        Please process with same by which i can pay my actual bill.

          Few months back, I activated Idea's All India 105 plan,where i got the offer of 5opaise per minute for all local and std calls and messages. After this I got Idea, message offer of Rs 36=2oo sms for 1 month. But I found that my sms offer wasn,t activated. My messages were still charged. I called the customer care and they told me that, i won,t get my free messages as i had activated the All India 105 plan.But let me tell you they never mentioned about such a thing in their offer when it was publicized. As a result I took the 11 Rs 1 second plan. But still my message offer was not activated.

          I want my money back. They are fooling customers like anything. While other telecom companies are offering so many free schemes, they are in turn looting money from their existing customers. Please do something against them.

            I am currently using a prepaid connection. Idea then offered me a post-paid connection which I bought at 500 Rupees, and then they suspended my number. Apparently, they have to reverify the billing address thrice, but then I was not in Delhi during the third time, so couldn't get it verified. Now, I have been calling them for more than a week, and they have been telling me they'd send someone to verify my address. But no one has come till now. And today was supposed to be the last date, but again no one came.

            So, they have suspended my number, and I lost 500 Rupees. When I called them twenty minutes back, they said they had extended the verification deadline to 19th, but I don;t trust them. I might even stop using my prepaid connection. It's sad that such a prominent company has to treat their subscribers in such a way, and even harass them

                Sir,

                Amount of Rs. 125/- (approx) has been deducted from my Idea prepaid connection (no. [protected]), as per the costumer care representative the money has been deducted from my account for the 95 local and National SMSs I have sent, since I didn’t get any prior information regarding the SMS topup will not be applicable on 14th February. The company is not willing to refund my money. therefore I need your help so get me the money refunded.

                Regards
                Moolchand Khilwani

                    hi friends,
                    Recently i bought a new idea prepaid connection, but when i tried to use that card, i found the card was deactivated.and whenever i tried to call any number, the call went to idea customer care, they told me due to pending verification the card has been deactivated, and upon telephonic verification further it will take 3-4 days to reactivate again. can anybody understand this.

                    I wanted to know certain things :
                    1. Can a mobile operator disconnect the number without informing you, a smiple sms can also be considered, and i have a balance of Rs. 44.00 on this card.

                    2. When i tried to talk to their call center, i asked for a refund of my talktime , since i do not wish to continue with idea, they bluntly refused to refund any money.

                    Do we have provisions in the indian law benefitting only the big fish
                    This is a new way of earning money from the common man,

                    BETTER STAY AWAY FROM IDEA

                    Can i have some insight on this.

                    thanks,

                    krishna

                      i had got wap5 service activated on my idea mobile which did not work and the message "network busy" was shown when i tried to open the wap browser on my mobile for 2 consecutive days.i decided to deactivate it,but after calling the customer care 3 times and registering the deactivation request 3 times each time i got the message that my complaint has been registered and would be processed and also each time i got the message that my service has been deactivated but actually it was not deactivated.
                      unnecessarily a balance of rs 30 got cut from my pre paid account and later on contacting the customer care i was told that i had downloaded a game which i never did.
                      the customer service is not available all the time and a rude recorded message without any manners speaks that "all the customer service executives are busy at the moment taking other calls and call our self help channel for more details" as if my call is not important to them
                      airtel on the other hand is better as it holds the line and the recorded message says that "your call is important to us and our customer service executive will assist you shortly"

                        Dear Sir,

                        It has been noticed by me, that my mobile no. which has been issued by Ideal Cellular ltd, whose services i had been using, had been disclosed, rather distributed to external agencies, other corporates by them at intervals. Not only the cell no. the residential address and all personal contact details have been regularly, SOLD OFF in the market.

                        I had availed a mobile connection ONLY FOR PERSONAL USE. Only my wife had that no. And i started receiving sms's from citifinance and other similar corporates. HOW they got my no.

                        I strictly oppose this and like to file a complaint against them for this ill practice.

                        regards,
                        Nitin Shah.

                          We have 13 mobile nos. (CUG connections) from your Vrindavan office. We have to face some problems with your services and whenever we try to contact your local service provider, they don't pick our call. It’s really disgusting and very sad.

                          Now we are seriously thinking to remove your service from our mobile nos. and want to move on under the number portability scheme.

                            Dear Sir,

                            Please note that I am having a Idea mobile connection No. [protected]. The company has charged me for some unnecessary service like "I radio and MCIA" which are not activited by me. When I complaint them, they immediately deactivate the service but do not refund the charged amount for the same.

                            Please note that I never had request them for any such service.

                            Kindly look into the matter.

                            Thanking you,
                            Yours truly,
                            Mohd. Amiruddin

                              Sequential events that happened to me:
                               Idea executive make call to me requesting new connection (December 2009), I took one new post paid connection [protected] (around first week of January 2010).
                               While taking connection I told executive please call me while visiting for address verification as my house will be locked during working hours and I would be in office. He said yes executives visit after calling only.
                               I was waiting for call and verification but never received any call. My number not activated because my address verification had negative findings.
                               I mailed to idea customer care and in reply I got call it will be done and executive will call me before visiting. I gave preference for timing between 1-2 as it is lunch hour in office.
                               No call received, no executive visited.
                               I got reply mail from Idea customer care, my matter is under consideration. What is matter till date not known to me and outcome of consideration not communicated till date.
                               I got again call from customer care that executive will visit me on January 30th (Sunday). I was waiting for executive no one neither called me nor visited. I mailed again but same reply matter is under consideration.
                               I got massage from idea ([protected]) for calling on the number [protected] or [protected]. I called on 10th Feb 2010 on both number around morning 9.30 AM. First number was ringing but no one pick up the call.
                               Second number I tried to convince the executive the sequence (as above) however he was of opinion that I should find and go to idea outlet. I was not satisfied and call was transferred to senior person.
                               I requested senior person to kindly activate the number or if he feels I do not deserve connection pleas refund the money. I was told out of 500 I paid 250 will be deduced for services (I do not know what services has been provided in this incidence). Remaining 250 I can claim after 24 month.
                               I asked is it idea policy to collect money and not refund he says yes (call record between 9.30 and 10 AM on 10th Feb 2010). WHAT AN IDEA SIRJI???
                               I do not know its idea policy to make customer suffer??(seems unlikely ) or it is executives implementing policy who makes customer suffer (seems likely).
                               IF SOME CONCERN PERSON SEES AND ADDRESSES THE ISSUE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

                              This all despite the fact that I am existing idea post paid connection user at Delhi for last one year. The new connection is in my name only. My credential could be established through my uses and past payment records (I do not receive hard copy of bill and receive it through mail only).
                              The complaint is not about 500 Rupees. I feel cheated by Idea cellular. I have mailed to following mail id but the complaint was not addressed.

                                my name is jossy thomas.Today on the 9-th of february 2010, i purchased an idea prepaid sim card for my urgent use.When i was purchasing, the shop-owner was busy and he wanted to close the shop immediately.As i was in an emergency too, i was unable to get the bill, and i didn't notice the date.When i reached home i noticed the date.it was like the simcard should have been activated on or before january 2010.thus i realized that i was cheated by your own dealer.i gave Rs.232 for the simcard and i also had told him that it was at the most urgent.the shop which i purchased is at kaloor, kochin-682017, chammany towers, first floor.please do the needful urgently and immediately.i hope you can understand my difficulty.Thankyou.

                                        Dear Sir, 4-5 months back, i received a message from a no. in which it was stated that send this message to 10 people otherwise some bad thing will happen to u. i tried to call such no. but the voice came that such number does not exist. which shows that such number is of cellular company and such message is send from such cellular company so that we should send that message to 15 people and the company should earn money from such messages sent. at that time i was unaware of this site, so i deleted such message. so i have not such clue right now and i don't want any of the relief from such company but i want that such company should stop sending such messages to the other people. please take the initiative in helping the society

                                        I get a lot of vulgar service messages which says - download pictures of notty girls, hot girls, midnite girls etc. at a given rate. I feel these should not be allowed, especially when such messages are sent on a mass scale to all types of audience
                                        i couldnt send message to 53030 from my cell
