Idea Communication’s international Roaming service is not working properly in most time. Many customers in the UAE now complaining that they are not getting connected to the network for a few days. The problem is not actually due to some network issue and not in common. However, the service is still active for a large number of users out there.
At first, all the user thought that it was there SIM problem but later communicating to others, they realized that it was a network issue. If the problem still persists for you head over to Idea cellular website and initiate a live chat with the customer care. Hope they can sort it out quickly.
We are looking forward to getting the issue sorted at the earliest. It is also to be noted that, the issue is not only with Idea, Top network like Jio also having issues in International Roaming.
If you are also facing the issue, please comment it below, we will inform it to Idea Cellular.
Hi! I am having a different issue. I switched on my data for a few minutes and then switched it back off again. Now After 15 days I got my bill for daily data use for more than 4000 INR. I even removed the sim from my phone and still I am being charged very high amount. Now my phone is showing as barred.
I am trying to reach customer case for last 1 week and it is only showing recorded message and keep on waiting.
Hi,
Are you using your SIM in international roaming. Also, did you tried to contact customer care via phone or email. What i suggest is go to Idea Cellular official website and you can initiate Chat with customer care, and please tell your issues with them.

My Idea SIM is not working in South Africa. I have contacted several times to the customer care through email, and they told to reset network and other procedures, but none of them worked. After third time they closed the complaint showing that they could not contact me !!
Poor customer service ever.

Dear Idea Executive,
My Idea SIM was working in Singapore since 31 October 2018. But from 1 November 2018, there is no network coverage for Idea SIM. I checked with the roaming partner in Singapore, but they said they are not having any network issues and their network is working fine. They asked me to check with IDEA in India. When I checked with IDEA customer service executive in India, they registered a complaint on this issue, and they are still resolving this issue. and they told to reset network and other procedures, but none of them worked. After third time they closed the complaint showing that they could not contact me !! But no solutions have been done so far.
I am stuck with this issue. All my OTP will be sent to this IDEA number and I am helpless now. Kindly resolve this issue as soon as possible.
Extremely Poor customer service ever.
Hi Fysal,
What i can recommend you is to contact the customer support again and provide them an alternative Singapore number, so that they can reach you over that. Also specify them the issue is still there and being closed without any resolution.
Same thing here. Iam in USA. No connection to any network since sep 2018. Idea just simple says everything is fine on thier side. Who the hell we shd contact to resolve the issue. Iam in New Jersey USA.
Hi Ashok,
Sorry to hear that, if the problem is not yet solved even after contacting customer care, the only solution for you to get a duplicate SIM card in India (if possible) in-order to avoid disconnection of your number. After 90 days inactivity, there is a chance for disconnection. Alternatively, you can do topup or do minimum recharge for 35 to avoid it.

My idea sim not working in Oman. How can I contact customer care from Oman.
go to the idea cellular website and chat them online.
I have a prepaid Idea connection that was working perfectly fine in India till early Jan 2019. Came to Singapore and got No Service. I tried changing instruments, selecting Networks manually, hard and soft reboot etc etc, contacted the local Network provider (M1) but no success. Logged complaint with Idea web chat at https://www.ideacellular.com/ and after multiple follow-ups and irritating sessions, I got the following response from them “As we have received the update from our team we won’t have network tie-up with Singapore so we are unable to help you for network service.” So forget receiving OPTs. It seems the Vodafone merger means the end of my relationship with Idea.
Sorry to hear that, i recommend you to take an additional SIM card from another operator as a backup service, for your next journey. Airtel and Jio seems the best option.
