Idea Cellular — LOOT OF 3G

Address:Gurgaon, Haryana

I have given request to replace 3g service from 2g in my phone on dated 20th May 2015, however, during last one month nor I am able to use this service despite making dozens of complaint via phone and email to customer care executive. But none was interested to address the issue rather more inclined to somehow pass the time so that they can make the charges of 3g in bill cycle. Earlier they informed me due to poor network signals and density this issue is being facing further they assured me that executive will visit to my home and check the problem physically but after making commitment thrice none came to my home. And now even they are not interested to entertain the request and whenever I made new complaint they closed the communication id by themselves without addressing the issue Most of the time 3g switches to 2g automatically and all the work doing on internet become unusable and even after some time this 2g service disappear and "No service" tag came on phone screen. I am now extremely frustrated that some of important call drop during recent past due to their poor service. I seriously thinking now to switch with another better network service provider, even past also IDEA uses its cheap tactics in my another number where they forced me to use internet service for almost 9 months for which I never made any request and only I knew how I get rid from it.

Surprisingly as per your instant mail (request number C1-[protected]), now you are asking to pay me for the 3g rental on non pro rata basis. How you can make the charges for the services you are not able to providing. According to your customer care executive you are about to upgrade the network the different region of Delhi-NCR. Further, I had never make any request for deactivation I have asked in my all mails to take back your service which was ensured me by your executive through mail that if the requisite service wouldn't provided than it would take back at free of cost.

Now, instead taking back of services smartly it has been deactivated so that charges can be made. Its highly unfair and bad business practices. I request you to address the issue properly and either provide me complete 3g service of take back it at free of cost.
Dear Customer,

We wish to inform you that the matter is currently being followed up and our concerned team will revert to you at the earliest.

Thanks & Regards,

Of-course
it had been activated on my request but 3g service was never provided,
your internet automatically switches to 2g instantly and after some time
all the services get disappeared. This 3g service you are being
providing is totally unusable and what to do when I am doing some work
on internet and suddenly my all work lost due to interruption on
internet service.Further,
I have never requested for deactivation rather the mail sent to you was
for taken back your services (not for deactivation), it clearly meant
that when your network is not self-sufficient to provide uninterrupted
3g service than how you can be charged for the same.Its
ridiculous and totally unfair, I have already write this matter on
social networking site and after-that your executive assured me that
this issue would taken care after bill generation and surprisingly now
you are asking the charges for the services which never been provided.
This service was taken by your good-self intermediately when I forced to
take back your service, please be remember that there is difference
between deactivation and "taken back your service".I hope that good sense will prevail and you shall take back your unfair 3g service charges

It surprised to see that repeatedly you are asking to pay for the service you were unable to provide and why should I pay for it??.

From 20th June till the day when the service was deactivated by yourself, I never get 3g service which in my all follow-up mails chivy. I have also all telephonic call recording where your executive accepted that after bill generation the issue will resolved and none would charge if the proper 3g service not provided. Than how now you can deny from the same???

Please check the following mail sent to me since 3g service activation request made on 20th June 2015 and by gone through these mail you would like to know that never your team were able to resolve the problem till full bill cycle. It also prove my claim that I never get uninterrupted 3g service and whatever work I had did on internet through concilitate on poor 2g service.

After regular harassing by IDEA people I was forced to pay unethical demand which was never justified, however, now I decided to port the service to some reputed service provided.


Further, I don't know why IDEA team don't understand that by using these cheap tactics they are loosing the 10 year old customer, only good can help where a reputed Birla Group company being handling in such unorganised way.
