[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — international roaming not working in hungary

Address:Rangareddy, Andhra Pradesh, 500060
Website:Idea telecommunications

Idea promised me that the international roaming will work anywhere in the world and even in website it is showing that network is provided by vodafone in hungary. But i have not received signal since i landed here from 16th july 2017. When i call idea care and customer support, they said that particular contract with other telecom services is over and they suggested me to wait till idea decides to renew the contract. I have raised complaint on this on 17th july and till now no action has been taken. This effects all my communication because of this just waste and worst idea. For international roaming activation they have charged 3000 rupees from me and i am not recieving signal. I want idea to pay my loss during these business days. Here is the ticket number for reference (Sr# c1-[protected] submitted: service request update - idea) attached is the receipt that i have paid for international roaming services 3000 rupees.

Hello,

I have provided my Hungary alternate number +[protected]. My family is with me and no one is staying in hyderabad then how can I provide my local alternate number . Your customer representative is saying that they don't have facility to call international number and then how IDEA is running this big company. First check you have roaming facility in Hungary or not as my colleague is also not recieving signal and we tried in multiple mobiles. Please don't tell me the same story that you cannot reach me . If you want to solve my problem then call me to my Hungary number or provide your technician number so that o can call him in working hours. Anyway tell me who will bare my loss during these days.

Same is the case here, i am in US since 29th April 2018 and still not able to activate roaming... IDEA is cheating the customers.

IDEA has only few words to tell me, "Sorry for the inconvenience", "We are working on it", "it will get rectified by tomorrow". But nothing happening i am tired of calling 198/[protected].

they dont care whatever is the issue. simply saying they are unable to reach me on my US number. i see this is the common word they use for all the international roaming customers.

Please dont trust IDEA.
Yes exactly,

IDEA doesn't care for their customer. I have been in US since a month from April-18 and I have also placed a request for International Roaming and it is not working in US at all.
When I went to Germany, I had taken a Germany SIM (Ortel) which worked without any issue (with Ortel number). I have tried also another T-Mobile SIM card which is working properly in my handset. IDEA said that they have tie-up with T-Mobile in USA however I am not getting signal at all for my IDEA SIM.
Now I have stopped the IDEA International Roaming facility on phone as there is no use at all due to network unavailability.

NOTE: Purposely I have not given a single star as the service is worse.
