The credited amount will get adjusted along with a nominal charge whenever the customer recharges next with a range of Idea top-up or Full talk time recharges.

Mr. Rajendra Chourasia, Chief Operating Office, Maharashtra & Goa– Idea Cellular said “The concept of Idea Lifeline comes from the insight that many customers sometimes need to make ‘that one’ urgent call and realise that they don’t have the talk time balance to do so.  This is where Idea Lifeline comes in handy – the customer does not have to go searching for a retail outlet to recharge and make the call. Idea subscribers can now instantly opt for the Lifeline credit and be in touch.”
