I have applied for a new sim card in idea galary in new sangvi pune, maharashtra. They have taken documents and photo from me and not activated the sim for more than one week. They have misplaced the documents and everyday they are giving different reasons for nt activating the sim. The whole staff is very rude and non cooperative. I am very sad from idea, daily i am visiting the galary. They are not helping. Staff names - miss sheetal shinde, vivek, yogesh tope. This type of practice may result in mis use of documents. Now a days many people are mis using the documents, i am being cheated by idea, please help.

I've complained before about the flash messages I'm receiving. The flash messages pops up in the mobile screen even when the phone is locked. So, whenever I try to unlock my mobile or try to open anything by clicking the select button, the "OK" button corresponding to the message get pressed and the company deducts balance from my account sending some silly sms containing worthless tips. The company promised to stop the messages but till now I'm receiving flash messages. Please do whatever is necessary and stop these annoying messages. I've alredy contacted the customer care team 5 to 6 times. Every time they say that it will be stopped but actually it does not. I'm really fraustated now. My idea mobile no is [protected]. Thank you.

Dear Sir,
My name is Abidali Yusufbhai Momin, my Cell Number is [protected], my email i.d. is abid.[protected]@gmail.com.

Since last 10 years I was Vodafone Users and my Number was[protected] and on account of 3G Network Problem at My Residential Place and other places, I have port my number from Vodafone to Idea and on submitting an application, my number has already been ported from Vodafone to Idea and since last two days I have been using service of Idea.

Now in this connection, it is regret to inform your that since the date of porting my services from Vodafone to Idea, every incoming call from Vodafone users have been restricted and since last two days i.e. from the date of porting my number from Vodafone to Idea, i am not even getting single call from Vodafone Users and whenever, Vodafone users call me on my number there is specific message that this Number is not in existence. For this I have made complaint to the Idea Cellular Services through customer cares, but they didn't pay any attention towards my complaint and since last two days under one or another pretext, they are avoid and informing that my problem shall be resolved soon, but since last two days I am complaining about this, Idea Cellular Services failed to resolved my said Problem and therefore, I have no any other alternative except to approach this Indian Consumer Complaint Forum.

So I humbly request Your Honour to kindly direct the Idea Cellar Services to again permit and/or allow me to go for other Cellular Services, whichever, I would like to prefer.

Dear Sir / Madam, Primary number - [protected] Supplimentry number - [protected], [protected] I purchased the above three connections from your agent on [[protected]] to avail the benefits of easy sharing features referenced above.‎ As I could have received the same plan features in all three connections against fraud without any verification, I believe the connections was misrepresented to me and I therefore wish to make a complaint. I am applying to the easy sharing plan redress scheme for all three connections ( primary - [protected]) ( Supplimentry - [protected], [protected]) on 03rd November 2015. If my complaint is upheld, I require a disconnection of all three connection mentioned to the details prior to November, 2015 and converted into prepaid SIMs. I also wish to claim reversal of my last bills amount in view of the fact that I have been deprived of the use of this connections. Please now investigate my complaint within a week allowed to you. Yours faithfully, Asfak Paliwala +91-[protected] Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

I am using this number for the past two years. I have recharged fro Rs.50 on November 16th 2015. Unnecessarily, the amount has been deducting without calling the specified number. The destination number which it is mentioned in below call history is my wife's number, she is staying with me only.Not even a single call i called to her number for past one month.But every time it is deducting unnecessarily.Whenever i contact the customer care, the worst reply or disconnecting the call without reason.I am expecting the immediate reply for the same and kindly credit the deducted amount in my mobile number.

I have re-submitted the postpaid to prepaid 5th request to the idea cellular head office @ Pune on Saturday - 28th Nov

Have paid the outstanding plus extra amount of total around 100 rs.
Hope idea does not dupe me this time.
