Krazyniks Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Is it necessary for a postpaid user to himself go to the idea office to shut down his number ? It was around 3 years back when I got my postpaid number cancelled . They asked for self attested aadhar card as well . Don't know status now .Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking the documents there is fine but to be present there for confirmation wouldn't be convenient. If they don't switch off the number should stop paying the bills.

Postpaid is unfortunately such a scam in India. Everything should be easier and cheaper for postpaid when it is the opposite in India. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done this once when reliance weren't cutting down the bill amount when I couldn't access their network. They refused to deduct the charges and I didn't pay the bill for 2-3 months. Kept getting calls and told I won't pay until the money is deducted and then they did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk The number that needs to be switched off is linked to my father's id. And going there is not convenient and also when customer care is saying the identity holder need not visit for switching off (but compulsory for converting to prepaid) I feel that the store employee might be pissed when the reason I told her is that he is too busy to visit (some other reason might have done the job ?) Also this procedure can only be done when bill cycle is completed (waiting another 10 days and have to pay for it as well when it is not going to used, and who knows missing it will make it having to wait another month) Edited November 8, 2019 by GunnerY2J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I faced the same problem as well - Procedure can be done only when bill cycle is complete. Perhaps you can try another store if you don't need the old number and you wouldn't need to take your father along . But if you want to convert it to prepaid then yes you will have to take your father along around the end of bill cycle . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes,that's the reason now I want to switch off the number instead of porting to idea prepaid. Another thing that can be done is portability to a different network, this thing is so strange that you can port to any other operator with the new person's id proof (no prior documents or anything required) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerY2J Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Yes, number disconnection was done over the phone itself. Process takes 7 days, will have to pay another bill of the 7 days after number is disconnected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheK Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Is there a difference between the 4GB and the 6GB version.Except ram, nothing. Go for the higher version, as your mom would usually hold on to phone for longer, so will be helpful for a longer run. But if I am right pro only has 6 and 8 gb versions.

It's available for 16k (6gb, 128gb) on Amazon. Nokia 8.1 is a good alternate too available at 16k (4gb, 64gb) , if you plan on getting this replace the charging Cable in the box with Mi 2 in 1 usb cable as the one provided in the box starts giving issues in a couple of months.

NitroNeo Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Did anyone find a typeC to 3.5m converter from their samsung typeC based smartphone, last i tried was a One Plus converter but it was only for one plus devices and did not work for my note10+. I saw only Rs.100 chinese ones in market and don't want to risk my typeC port going kaput with that stuff. I need this converter as i am not able to plug in my 3.5mm headset to my phone, samsung do not have one on their indian website but they do make it as i checked on their american website. So can anyone help with a solid working good quality solution ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
