IDEA 3G not working in datacard

[vebk]

^ It's not like I believed them, but if they were not willing to sell to me, there's not much I can do about it. I don't know the technicalities of how they can block data SIMs, and if they can do the same, but I had no choice. Moreover, one always feels that if they are telling the truth then you'd feel mighty stupid getting a SIM from them that doesn't work.Honestly, my biggest gripe with Idea was before I even started with them - it took me 2-3 hours to locate a showroom in South Delhi. Most of their showrooms are located in really random places with terrible parking options, and the addresses given on their website seem incomplete. Their helpline doesn't help you to locate the showrooms at all. I filled out a form on their website that I was interested in getting a netsetter connection, but no one called back. Makes you wonder if they want your business at all. To add to it all, I had that experience with the showroom where they claimed that they wouldn't give me a data SIM because it was only compatible with their own datacards (they claimed many many customers recently have had this problem and have complained to them). At the end of it I was so pissed off with their services (even before I became a customer!) that I went to Vodafone that at least has stores in decent locations and was able to get me a connection in 10-15 minutes.I am still shopping around though, and if I can get a better deal, then will change.
