Idea Cellular — wrong bill (vas charge without request for years)

Address:New Delhi, Delhi

Last night i checked my idea bill may be after few years as i have been using this number [protected] for years as trusted the company...however i realized last night that there is a charge of |Rs 250 added for 3g vas usage which i never opted for as i don't even use a smart phone for this number and the phone that i use with this sim is a Lava Arc6 basis non smart phone which can't connect to the internet. Immediately i called up idea customer card and the representative (priyanka) verified that i have not been using internet on this number hence they will wave off my 2 months charge, i asked why only two months as i don't use this service neither i asked this for...I AM NOT AN IIN STUDENT, please spare me and the company which says no ullu banaowing has been making a fool out of me for last few years. Refernce number c1-[protected] they have said that they are writing an email to Mr birla probably and he will approve this waiver, i have been asked to wait for 96 hours before they can even tell me which date this service has this been activated on ...I am pissed big time and thinking of running a negative video campaign through social media have a very good thought around it IIN .. Indian institue of nuts will only take this ad..Idea Internet Network..GUrrrrr

Stop fooling people and boasting that Idea Internet Network you can study anything, a fraud company who has not been able to resolve a 7 year old customer issue despite of they agreeing it that it is their fault, In fact the latest joke was when you guys called me and said i have not even lodged a formal complaint with you all, please check my conversation and look for the reference number ...c1-[protected]

Dear Aaruni
I had same issue with my Idea service. I consistently escalated the issue to appellate.[protected]@idea.adityabirla.com and customer care. I asked them to provide me the screen shots of the third party link or web page that activates the VAS to prove how the VAS service gets activated on my device and show how customer consent was taken before applying charges to my account. They did not have anything to prove that as this was un-lawful so they had to reverse the charges. Please copy ap<[protected]@trai.gov.in email Id as well while communicating with Appellate and customer service over email.
