Idea Cellular
Lost SIM is still live

Sir,

I lost my mobile phone (which is not a costly one) on my way to Mumbai from Trivandrum (somewhere in Kudal of Maharashra). But the SIM is now being used somewhere in the hindi speaking area. I made a request to the cellular phone company. But they claim inform me that being a prepaid SIM it will be used without any legal problem. At they same time they are very eager to see that a duplicate SIM is issued. Now I am very apprehensive that the SIM will be misused and the cellular phone company is reluctant to block the SIM, and therefore I afraid of renewing the SIM with a duplicate one. Please issue appropriate instructions to the Cell phone company authorities to block the SIM

with best regards

Sakir Ali. K

Text of email correspndence with Customer care IDEA, Kerala.

Very unfortunate that the company is not co-operative when a

problem befalls upon one of its customers.

This makes it clear that even if I get a duplicate SIM, I am

not safe with the company. Just because it is a 'prepaid SIM'

it cannot be immune for unscrupulous users for what ever

they do. Also not that I am not that eager to geat anew SIM,

I am very particular to see that the lost SIM is blocked.
