[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — Bad customer experience due to wrong data entry by Idea team

Address:Rangareddy, Andhra Pradesh, 500072

Hello idea team,
I am a post paid customer with number [protected] from last 7 years. Today I went to idea store and requested for a nano 4G sim for my new mobile. I have submitted my Id proof at the store and the guy told that with in 3 hrs my new sim will be activated after a verification call. I got a verification call from your employee Balakrishna and he asked for address confirmation. House number in my proof is 4-32-246 and in idea database it was 4-32-346 due to wrong entry at your side. Due to this, verification department rejected my request and I couldn't get my sim activated. I don't have any other alternative sim. This is your problem due to wrong data entry but still customers like me are suffering and this is a bad customer experience. When I called customer service they didn't provide any escalation matrix to escalate this and I found the details from Google and sending this. I need to wait till tomorrow and what abt me if I get any emergency calls. This is very very bad customer experience and hope you will take some action on this. And I am expecting some reply for this. If not I don't want to be with idea and suggest the people not to prefer idea at all if this continues. This is 2nd time I am facing issues like this.

I have went to a IDEA outlet in Madhapur(Hyderabad) seems this is a third party store (not direct IDEA outlet). He charged Rs.50/- for the sim and that sim was not activated due to the above reason. When I asked that store person and he is not at all feeling responsible and the way he spoke was very rude.
Today I got another 4G sim from Idea direct outlet at KPHB with free of cost. The people who took the IDEA franchise are deceiving the customers with out any clear information and they are not at all responding properly. It would be better that IDEA team should visit those franchise stores at particular interval of times you would have know how the customer experience is. Due to all these IDEA is loosing customer credibility. Please try to take some action on these type of franchise stores and provide some good experience. IDEA direct outlets are serving better.
