[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — New SIM not activated, Unable to contact 59059 from last 5 days

Address:Pune, Maharashtra

Hi Idea,
I have bought new idea SIM [protected] on 20 June 2014 and in evening I got SMS on my alternate number to activate SIM by calling 59059 .From that time till date I am trying 59059 but it is not connecting .

When call idea support and tell my problem they wouldn't talk logical and keep on saying pls try calling 59059 .I think these less skilled resource just work like parrot and only say single line and don't give logical answer nor try to help .

I am every day getting SMS on my alternate number to call 59059 and get your connection activated but 59059 is not connecting .Pls provide any other number or activate services of my new idea number [protected].

My alternate number is [protected].

I think buying idea was worst decision .

Thanks,

It's very easy, you have to just call 59059 from your new idea number only. They will ask you some questions regarding address and name confirmation, then you have to restart your phone after 15 min and you can enjoy the services very easily.
