    Please help us by providing network connrctivity. As you are saying that your sim has network connectivity everywhere in the world in the ads.in my region there is no network connctivity at all. The location is balal - rajapuram road kasargod dist671533. Dont cheat people by saying the ads... Please provide sufficient network connectivty for us like those who are living in big cities. When we enter to our locality the network signal is to be bad and we couldnt get emergency calls and messages. So please help us there is no networrk connectivity for any of the sim. Pleae help us as my daughter is not able to complete her project works or else we will strike against it.

    My account is getting deducted by 21 rupees every week. I want my money back. How can you deduct any amount without prior information. Idea is such a [censored] company. I'm seeing these type of scams for more than 10 years.

    Did recharge of Rs.1499/-. Payment was done online on 30/03/20. However, I have neither received any confirmation from Idea for recharge nor mobile is recharged yet. I sent them an email as well for complaint but no response. Also trying to connect them at customer care number but in vain.
    Pls arrange to either refund my payment or mob recharge.

        This is to inform you that my main balance has been deducted twice for rs. 21 in the name of activation for games portal with site http://carbun8.in/mobgames/.i have made no such request at any portal or from idea site or app. This is unknowing deduction on the part of idea from my main prepaid balance. This has been done my them on recurring basis and this is the 2nd time my balance has been deducted. I have also tried to deactivate via sms for vas but it doea not work and shows no vas is activated on this no. Kindly reverse these charges to my main balance.

                        I received a message from idea thanks for activating games portal. Now you can play unlimited games, click http://carbun8.in/mobgames/ and enjoy the service. I didn't click on any link and i got charged with 21rs. Please take necessary action and refund my money.

                        I hope necessary action will be taken soon.

                          I've been using idea network for a long time and i've experienced low data speeds and poor indoor coverage in my area since 7-8 months. Ive complained a lot of times and no actions were taken to improve the quality of connection they're providing. They told me to wait for 6 months for the upgradation service and then after 6 months they blocked my calls to customer care.

                              I have been recharging my idea sim with rs49 to keep it from being disconnected. But for the last few recharges the new recharged amount is credited as secondary balance. Now i have rs.1 as main balance and rs.108 as secondary balance. I can't add data packs using existing balance and it says insufficient balance even though i have enough. I need an option to combine the two balances or an option to use my existing balance for adding data packs

                                      Hi idea team,

                                      I am one of your old customer with whole family using idea service.
                                      Recently, i am very upset with your new active recharge plans.
                                      Recently, i made a recharge of rs. 39 which gave me some secondary balance and additional validity of 28 days.
                                      It got expired without being used.
                                      Now kindly let me know how can i use it?
                                      Can't i use same balance to recharge?
                                      Now you have launched rs. 49 and rs. 79 active plans which gives talktime of 38 and 64 respectively.
                                      This is all fraud to encourage customer to use balance irrespective of their need.
