Tikona Digital Networks Complaints & Reviews

I have not used Tikona broad band since i have moved to Banglalore.
I had tried to transfer my connection from Pune to Bangalore but when TIKONA representatives visited my house, they declared that there is no network or connection feasibility at my area. Hence after waiting for 2 long months, i have sent mail to TIKONA and they have acknowledged the same, hence i have refused to take their connection.

My last usage of TIKONA was during month of march and i have cleared all the payments for my usage.
I have sent so mails before to discontinue my connection after Tikona representatives has regretted for connections in my area. They have informed that there is no network in my location in Bangalore.

My payment has always been prompt every month and you can verify all my historical payment records for the same.

Today i am saddened that TIKONA has sent me the legal notice inspite of so many calls and email communications that have happened and its very clear that the mistake has happened from TIKONA . I request you to please recheck all the records and my old email correspondence for better understanding. I have attached all email correspondence for your perusal.

I request some body to help me out on this that this kind of harassment should not happen to customers.

I want them to immediately acknowledge that due to their technical failure that no connection was established hence i am not responsible for the same.
They must immediately cancel all my bills and acknowledge that i need not pay any money for the same. I also would like to claim compensation for the mental harassment they had put me for 4 months continuously by sending payment reminders.

Regards.

I got a new connection from tikona and paid advance amount too. But from the first day i faced difficulty and i requested them to terminate my account and refund my deposit money subtracting the first-month bill alone.
But they insisted on repairing which they never did even after several mails. Now
After many months they are threating to take legal action against me to clear an overdue amount which i had never used. Is this how you treat a customer?
My account no is [protected].

Is there any way to take legal action against them?

Hello,

I do not own the connection under my name neither i know email id / mobile registered with userd id : [protected]

This is regarding the bill that is pending for the user id : [protected]

Please, try to read and understand the issue/situation that was created by tikona.
The connection for the user id is under name of vikrant jha as per your records, we were staying with him on a rented location. While we left that location, we were informed by him (The person who owned that connection) that i have raised the request for termination of tikona services and it will stop within 15 days.

Tikona customer care may have ignored the request and renewed the plan. The next thing is the plan being a prepaid plan should have terminated on the last of the previous recharge date, why it was renewed by tikona without payment for the next quarter. I know this must be trick used by tikona to loot it's customers.

Now after one year, i have received a call that your tikona bill is pending which was not even on my name and haven't used since that day. There has been no formal communication from tikona regarding pending bill, last date to fill it.
And suddenly, you have shown up with some advocate. How am i responsible for all this chaos created. The person who owned connection is out of india when we last talked to him and he never told about any pending bill from tikona. We are no longer in contact with him as well.

However, if there is pending bill for user id : [protected], please revert back with properly calculated bill details, we have not even used tikona internet for the complete 3 months for which bill was generated (Check the data usage, it should be non-operational since 1 year), please calculate the billing details and send the bill amount with proper bill.
Also, please mention that after paying the proper bill amount, we will not be liable to pay even a single rs.1 to tikona and connection will be terminated permanently. Also, mention that noc will be provided immediately and if not provided tikona will be responsible for the ignorance. Please provide the proper bill asap.

Thanks

Hello,

I am a resident of bangalore, india. I have been using the tikona internet connection (Wifi) till june 2016. During the last week of june, i had called tikona customer care from my registered mobile phone number to disconnect the connection as i was relocating. I have moved to a new address since july.

Tikona never disconnected my internet connection and kept on generating bills till nov 2016. However the bills show 0 usage of internet. After realizing that bills never stopped coming, i have spoken to multiple representatives of tikona customer care. Most of them promised that the outstanding bill amount (After june 2016) will be waived off. This never happened.

Now some lady calls me from claiming to be a lawyer appointed by tikona against me. She asks for money to settle the issue "out of court". When i asked for her bar council number or the copy of the case filed against me, she is unable to provide any details. Basically, it looks like a fraudulent call. Probably it is a planned scheme of tikona to scare the users and extract money out of them.

I have written multiple emails to tikona on this issue, i have also provided a snapshot of my itemized mobile phone bill (Registered number with tikona) from june 2016 where it is clearly shown that i have called them several times (To inform them to disconnect my connection). There is no response from tikona over email. Each time a new representative calls and i waste so much time to explain the whole story again but a bill still gets generated at the end of the month.

Yesterday, tikona representative had called me to inform that if i continue my connection again in my new address, the "outstanding" bill amount will be completely waived!

I have done my part to inform tikona to disconnect my connection in due time. The so called outstanding bill is generated on zero usage. Hence, i will not pay the bill. I should not.

Please do not use tikona broadband connection. They invest a lot of effort to extact money out o[censored]sers using different schemes while their actual customer service is null and void.

Dear tikona

I have some financial problem so plz process my request & disconnect the internet if your not process my request i don't pay any bill i intimate you i call the customer care number thy are not ready to take my request vary bad experience from your customer care executives that's y i send official email to you

I m taken a plan of tikona for rs. 4500 for 1 yr. validity with 125 gb. as i recharge plan on 27 oct. as per plan of rs. 2099 for 1 year validity and 50gb used. but within 15 to 17 days come to know very less gb i used but tikona show only 5 gb left. i request and complain many times on telephonic and mail but nobody give satisfied answer. i also recorded all the calls the lady given as per plan u used only 8 gb i don't know how it is possible. he take request and said resolved at the earliest. but no change.

Due poor service and assistance i disconnected internet connection. Internet was continuously unavailable/low speed through out month, so i requested customer service for waiver, and they are not ready to waive 1 month charge instead reduced 100 rs. It was not acceptable and request for the termination.

After few days one of the executive come to home and explained that due to some backed issues signal was week and now it ready and request us to pay the bills. But we are not ready to pay.. He suggested not to pay, if you can take a new connection with another id card. We took another connection and it was reliable for 2 months and again shows the speed issues.

I used to get bills from tikona every month with extra 100 rs, i mailed to customer care many times, but no replay.

Last week tikona advocate called me (His mob : [protected]) asked me to pay the pending amount + 1500 and i paid the same. He said tikona will send 1500 check + noc with in 3 working days.. Now its 3 weeks and no response and that advocate is not attending the phone.

Please let me know if required and further details

I have requested for disconnection (request id 1-[protected]) for my tikona connection with user id [protected] on june 2016. Since then we have paid all dues for the month and as there was no modem from tikona we are not supposed to return anything back. After that we are receiving bills for the following months seeing this we complained to the customer support which acknowledge that we are not using the connection since our last payment and they will resolve the matter. But i am receiving mail which says we have disconnected your connection and your request id the last one we made will not be processed and we are supposed to pay (for which we have actually not used anything). This is worst customer service and i had alerted all my colleagues, friends and family in pune not to opt tikona they are worst in customer service and they may get bills for which they have no hand in. Disconnection request is meant to be disconnected i dont understand why they didnt disconnect my connection and served me bills.

Hi
I have been using Tikona for almost 2 years now. Early this year also I faced severe network issues with Tikona again this year Tikona is doing so. For the past 1 month I have been calling their customer care and asking them to fix the issue but in vain.

Tikona itself marks the issue resolved when they have never tried to resolve it. Even today within 5 hours, I lost internet connection for more than 10 times. But Tikona does not find it to be an issue worth resolving or sending over their engineers to look into. Time of their engineers are more precious than the work they were hired to do.

I am totally sick of Tikona.
Please help me fix it once and for all.

Thanks !

Dear Tikona Management Team, I have used tikona broadband service from[protected] to[protected]Plan Name: BBM4M650). Due to frequent breakdown in connectivity and change in my working place, I have opted for disconnection of the broadband services from Tikona. This I have communicated this to Tikona with tikona customer care. All my bills are paid till 02/05/2016. All evidences are available with me. Surprisingly today one person named Mr. Sandeep Sinha from Number [protected], introduced himself as an advocate from Mumbai session Court called me on and threatened me to pay the dues of an amount of Rs. 2900within half an hour else have to pay 2, 900/- + Rs. 35, 000/- as penalty. Further he mentioned that, I have to physically present in session court Mumbai. When I asked for his advocate ID, he got irritated and disconnected the phone. Later I found form this forum ( consumer court.net) that Mr. Sadeep Sinha is actually a recovery agent of Tikona. I was using quarterly prepaid plan which means I had already paid amount for the last quarter in advance. Such kind of activity is highly undesirable and unethical. I request Tikona management look into this matter urgently. I request Tikona Customer care team to update their termination records and stop these kind harassments. Otherwise I’ll be forced to take legal action against Tikona. Regards, SAURABH KUMAR USER ID : [protected]

With reference to my previous mails, I would like to again inform you that I installed Tikona WIFI connection (User ID : [protected]) on 09.11.2016 & Tikona people were unable to provide continuous running internet facility till 13.11.2016. I received your technical team call on 13.11.2016 from Mumbai for auto login for continuous running internet facility but they were unable to resolve the issue. I also discussed this issue with your Delhi people but they are also helpless. I have made several calls to your customer care during these period but unfortunately no one was able to give solution.

However after facing this problem I immediately requested your customer care for closure of this account & requested for refund of money as Tikona is unable to provide continuous internet service. My request no. is 1 - [protected].

Now I request you to kindly refund the amount immediately & I am not interested in any further call from Tikona regarding any offers or re installation of services. As per today telecon had with customer care, the process of refund has been started on 14.11.2016 and amount will be refunded within 30 days. I hope this process will be completed within said period.

I am so much disappointed with Tikona service. This should be taken care at the earliest .My service id is [protected]. I have to do important work but faceing problems and had to go for local networks. Even their services are better. I request Tikona to take action or we will be obliged to shift our connection.

Every time, your peoples are telling that we are trying to improve the speed of the internet service, but not even we can get the connectivity in continuous operation. Most of the time it has no service. Either you improve your service in Sangavi/Pimple Gurav area OR its better to disconnect the services.

This is the first & last time I m complaining via written communication. before that we have given the complaint on your toll free no. but nothing can had happened. After 3-4 days the same problem repeated again & again.

Regards,

Suhas Narkhede.

I had clearly mentioned that I do not want to use your worst services in any condition.
I was told that it will be disconnected in 2 weeks but unfortunately it was not done even after sending many mails.
I received a bill for next month whereas I had stopped using internet on night of 14 june which is last day of billing cycle.
Now if you do not reply then I will file a case against you for fraud and mental harassment and you will regret this negligence and irresponsible behavior.

Service request number: 1-[protected], 1-[protected]

I am facing issues with it for the last 3 months and raised complaints 20 times. Your so called "technical " support tean is not capable of resolving it. Customer support executive will mimic the below script
1 as i am using service since march
2 give me last opportunity
3 as i can see last time you issue was not resolved, i will give you proper resolution(does that mean the previous ones are fired from company since they are not capable enough)
4 then she asks to keep the connection in some monitoring(sounds some ICU) mode and will disconnection request will remain open. I am not sure what must have happened to the earlier ones.
5 then I say "no, don't resolve it, just send somebody to close it" Then the Customer executive will fool me saying"anyways your billing cycle is 7th, till the time use it" and this cycle continues forever...

I had read on internet that Tikona is "faansi ka fanda" and you will never close the connection once it is started.
I had made clear in the month of October that I will not be paying November bill if i face one more issue.

So please please please close my connection or let me cut the wire by myself. If you do not want to mention "Poor connectivity" as the "reason", you are free to mention whatever you want such as "Customer relocated" or "customer died".

Thank you,

I have already paid my remaining amount in Tikona, but still I am getting calls from Tikona's advocate that they are filing a case against me. Is that a company should treat their ex-customers ? Kindly take action against Tikona & let me know if I have to hire a advocate for this.
