Idea Cellular Complaints & Reviews

my net is runnig at very low speed will there be any download accelerators..............please suggest me......

this is to be taken care of by idea cellular for there improper service .My mobile number is [protected]
I had activated GPRS service of Idea. This month on 3dec i asked contact center to deactivate my 25rs unlimited rental plan. and the every next day morning again i called up and to continue the services.They said, they will try to re-activate the service and asked me to call them at around 3-4pm to check the status. ( IDEA HAS A VERY STRANGE WAY OF REACHING CONTACT CENTER. WE CAN REACH THEM ONCE IN ONE DAY.THOUGH THEY SAY 3TIMES IN A DAY)
As i was done with one call in the morning i wasnt able to reach them to know the status and on the day in the evening i got deducted with 25rs as daily rental.I thought they might have re-activated my services, but on 5dec when i was using internet my 250rs got deduted saying due to browsing and downloading.and GPRS service hasnt activated.

They i called contact center they said that the request is still under process and it is IDEA's mistake of deducting balance as i was in 25rs unlimited rental plan.
i spoke to almost all the supervisors and team leaders . to name Sandhya, Shabana, Srikant, Ahmed, Razak, Vijaya, Ranjeet.

Everyone assured me about balace refund. but when i call them everyday i used to get a new answer from each TL or supervisor saying you have been charged for browsing. and when they again cross check, they would assure to refund the balance in an hour.This thing is going on since 8dec and till date nothing worked out.

They always say, you will get a confirmation message about activation or deactivation of services, which absolutely crap. They themselves dont have clear picture about there own services.

Forget about general counter staff even supervisors and Team Leader dont have correct information to pass on to customer and if you miss that call thats it ...you have to wait an other day to reach them or have to search for other idea number to call them ...
This is not the first time am facing this problem, several times i had same issue with them and fed up of IDea so moved to someother network.

SUCH A IDIOTIC SERVICE IS GIVEN BY IDEA PEOPLE. THAT IS THE REASON IDEA STANDS VERY LOW. THEY ARE LEAST BOTHERED ABOUT CUSTOMERS ISSUES.

i had not got my money back through online recharge.and my balance is deducted from my SBI DEBIT CARD.
I REQUEST YOU TO GIVE MY MONEY BACK IMMEDIETLY....................

Hello Sir,

I own an Idea number..........On 11th December it's validity was getting over.......So i had called Idea customer care for recharge options......then from there i got to know that by doing the recharge of Rs. 349/- i would get 1 year validity and a talk time of Rs.250/- for I-card Active Plan.............so, considering it as an authentic information i recharged the idea card with Rs. 349/-.......but doing so i didn't got talk time of Rs. 250/- and got validity of 6 months only..........So, I would like to get some help from you.

Hi,

I done the same but when I dialed 2222 there is message no network coverage.
Because there is message “SIM registration failed or Inactive SIM when it is inserted into the mobile.
So is there anything else that can be done or I need to forgot this issue and close the number.

HI,

My other number is 98913*****. You can contact me anytime after 10.00 AM.
Also even after 4 days there is no resolution of the problem, as the customer care and idea service center keeps passing the buck without providing the solution.
THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND VERY BAD SERVICE


Thanks,
VIka

HI,

I had given the application for conversion on 07/12/09 ant 2.00 PM. But till date there is no activation of the prepaid number.
I contacted the myidea shop and also the customer care but there is no satisfactory response.
The time shown for activation was escalated 4 times. So would you please check if anything can be done.

Or any miracle can resolve the issue. The service from the call centre was very bad and they are not able to provide anything and same is the response from
Myidea showroom (Near Sector – 7) Gurgaon.

Hopefully waiting for some response.

Thanks,

Dear Sir,

I am holding celular mobile services. I am already having a BPL, Reliance, Vodaphone sims.
I have been regularly requesting Idea to activate my International roaming and ISD for which I am ready to pay the required 3000 deposit. They are not activating the same stating reasons that a chargeble service of call conferencing is already active on my number, which is true

I have already explained them many times that BPL , Reliance, Vodaphone are offering call conferencing free of charge and then too I am having ISD on all my same numbers. Here even after charging for call conference the company is not swtarting ISD service.

My compalints are taken only verbally, but nothing is materialising till date.

Please suggest me what should be done.

With Regards,

I have purchased Idea net setter on[protected] of price Rs.2000.The company have provided details as its internet speed is up to 236kbps and actually it is giving 20kbps where the speed is not even 70kbps

Idea says that this net setter is HIGH SPEED INTERNET so where is high speed there is no speed.On the date[protected] I called the customer care of Idea about the problem but Idea takes no action on the complaint.

Idea is totally froad. I purchased it by knowing all the details but for actual performance we have to purchase & use it.I purchased it because it was high speed internet but it is not.

The internet speed of this net setter is very slow so Idea should return the money of me or increase the internet performance

Else me & my friends can take legal actions on Idea

Idea should not advertise in wrong manner

Idea is totally froad.I have provided the image of the Idea net setter's speed as an proof in which sometimes speed get decreased to 0000kbps

Dear Sir,

I have an idea gsm cellular # [protected] (Delhi/NCR). I was using it but one fine day in the morning after recieving some call it started showing me " Sim card rejected." . I went to autorosed service centre and showed the sim but they(manager) refused to change/replaced the sim and asked me to pay to get it replaced with a new one

"Sim card rejected" is a standard problem of the cellular company. Most of the other gsm provider replace it free and immediately for such problems then why idea is reluctant to do so.
