    Angry Idea Cellular cheating Customers in a new Style...

    Sir, I am a new user of Consumer court bound to be a member due to IDEA cellular the much flaunted and touted organization is playing a new style of cheating method. They (IDEA) gave a call on my number i.e. 09090012225 (Orissa Circle) on 29.03.2010 @ 2:44 PM from an IDEA number i.e. 09090979575 and said "Sir congratulation you have won a package for DLF IPL 2010 match updates worth Rs. 50/- absolutely free for one month", on acknowledging and accepting their so-called free package they immediately deducted Rs. 50/- from my balance. And again deducted atleast another Rs. 20-30 for GPRS which I haven't subscribed to from my main account now my balance stood at Rs. 0.20 paise.

    When I tried to contact them I was surprised to hear that IDEA is charging @ 0.50 paise for even to lodge complain and to chat with the Customer Care for any issue (WOW); I could not chat for having low balance. When I contacted them using another number they promised me to resolve the issue within 72 Hrs and they gave me a sms mentioned "Dear Customer. Your concern for incorrect deduction could not be resolved. Kindly contact customer care. Thank you".

    I want all my deducted balance be returned to my account if IDEA actually wants to retain its customers loyalty.

    Sir my problem is I cannot recharge the account as I am afraid these frauds may once again deduct the balance from my account and unable chat with the customer care as it is chargeable.

    I hope my issue would be sorted out soon as I am at the right place to ask for help.

    Thank You

    Sir I feel pity for myself and consumer-court that even after posting complaint against this ADITYA BIRLA Group company So-called IDEA no matter have been solved, I think these fellows do not care your intervention I also feel that today's customers are just incapable watchers at their hands who are helpless then during the Licencing Raj and now during the Cyber age also where we are flattered as "Customer's always Right". This statement is valid only for customers outside India not INDIAN Customers......

    Probably this is my last post as a helpless customer to an even helpless Consumer Court.

    Thank you

    Default It takes 3-4 days to stop services and they keep deducting balance

    Never buy IDEA Cellular number. They cheat you smart ways. It takes only a minute to start any service and 4-5 days to stop it. They keep deducting money from your balance.

    Never received prompt reply from customer care executive.

    Very bad experience.

    Go for vodafone.
