[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — dishonest practice of automatic balance deduction by idea cellular.

Address:Pune, Maharashtra

Dear idea

My idea number is +91-[protected]. On 31/05/2018 at 9:45:24 pm, i received one message about clicking the link to listen to a song and another message after 5 seconds that rs 10 has been deducted from my account. Please note that mine is a very basic phone without gprs and i didn’t even touch the phone for a couple of hours during that period, so the chance o[censored]sing idea power by mistake (The message is not even clickable) is completely ruled out. So please do not give me this reason.

I believe this is an ill-practice by idea and has happened second time with me. I request you to refund my money otherwise i’ll be constrained to opt for mnp. I have been your customer since 2004.

Thanks
