Telkom SA SOC contracts not cancelled as I instructed, keeps billing me

I filled out a cancellation form to cancel 2 contracts on my name. This was supposed to be effective at the end of June 2017. It is 7 months later, (going on 8 months), and it still hasn't been cancelled. They keep billing me for the two numbers which hasn't been used for more than a year already. When I phoned Telkom service line this morning to enquire about my other contract, I was amazed to find that the expiry date for the 2 "cancelled" contracts had been moved to April 2018 and June 2018. I want to be refunded for the money that has been deducted unlawfully from my account. I want to cancel my current contract with them as well, but it seems like I will never get out of any contract with Telkom. My Telkom account number is [protected]. I will provide the submitted cancellation form when contacted by Telkom, as I do not want to upload all my personal information on a public site.

Telkom SA SOC telkom mix contract

I would like to log a complaint against Telkom.
I had a Telkom Mix mobile contract, which expired about 4 years ago.
I have been continuously requesting them to switch it over to prepaid, because I don't need it any more as it is not beneficial to me.
I pay R250 every month and when I took a Wifi package, also for R250, I told them I cannot afford to pay R500 so they must cancel the old contract. I have been back and forth at Telkom Capegate, and Ramona has been trying all that she could to have it done since July 2017 and up until now, nothing has been done.

The incompetency and ‎such negligence is appalling at such a big establishment.

I really would like help to have them do what they are being paid for.

Thank you

Telkom SA SOC changing contracts without customer consent and irresponsive

I went to Telkom College Square to apply for an additional contract as i already have a contract with them. I applied for the 1gig Top Up deal with a Samsung J7 Prime phone for R219pm x 24months. They did not have stock of this phone and said that they would order the phone and let me know when i can collect it. It was just about 3 weeks that passed and Abe (Manager at the store) phoned me and said that i could collect the phone. (In the signing process I was under the impression that I am receiving the 1Gig Top Up as specified on my order.) I was not told at all about any changes made to the data or the monthly premium.

The phone was a present for my sister on her birthday. I sent the phone to her in Cape Town. When she received the phone she notified me that she only got 300mb. (I then thought it was only because the phone was not received from the start of the month they only gave some of the data and will then only bill us for a certain amount of data, as they did the same with my contract phone.) Then on the 1st of December she told me she had only received 500mb data and not 1Gig. I immediately phoned Telkom to ask what was going on. The lady at the call centre then told me that there is no 1Gig top up with the j7 Prime available and the contract is for 500mb there is only a 1Gig open contract available on the J7 Prime. I told her that there is a 1Gig Top Up with a J7 Prime and I have the proof from their Leaflet as well as a screenshot from their website. She then said I have to go back to the store where I received the phone so that they can rectify it.

I went to telkom to try and correct it, and they could not assist me because Abe was not there and they could not access his profile. They then said they would ask him 'IF' he made a mistake and get him to phone me. Days passed and no-one had phoned me. I then decided that I would phone the call centre and ask them to put in a query by Abe to phone me back. After telling them the story Thando (call centre agent) said that his team leader would phone me back after speaking to Abe. I waited a week and no-one phoned.

Saturday morning (16/12/17) I went to the store before work to see if Abe was there and if he could help me. We asked them if they could do something about the lights because it was effecting my epilepsy and they said they could not do anything about it. I walked out after waiting for a while because the lights were flashing too much and I still had to get to work.

I went on the My Telkom website to at least see my invoice amount due (thinking it would be less as i am receiving less data each month) and I have not yet received my invoice Via email.
As a shock the invoice amount due was R554.80 ( this amount would be for 2 months as they do not invoice you in the 1st month) Which means that the monthly premium was R277-58 and not R219. I phoned the call centre and told them my invoice amount can not be right because a 500mb Topup with a J7 Prime is R189pm not R277. She then told me that I have to go to the store and sort it out with the person who gave me the contract.

I went to the store again on 23/12/17 and again Abe was not there and I could not be assisted. They said he would be there on the 27th of December if i would come back that day.

I went to the store today (27/12/17) to ask Abe what was going on. He then told me I did not qualify for the 1gig Top Up for R219 per month so he tried to help me and gave me a 500mb with a phone instead, which now amounts to R277 per month. (keep in mind that i did not Qualify for a contract with the amount of R219pm). I asked him why he did not inform me of the changes and that I did not qualify for that contract, and all he keeps saying is that he was trying to help. ( I have a voice recording to prove it). Is it really helping someone by giving them a more expensive package instead of what they asked for without their consent? Making me pay more for less data?

Not at all what i would call satisfactory. I am willing to pay R219 to get the 1gig i applied for or pay R179 for the 500mb i am receiving currently. (these are the contract prices).

This is the review i posted on Hello Peter. Telkom replied to the review with a Ref number: A12969804 and its been 2 months now i phoned them a few times and still no response.

Telkom SA SOC slow and terrible internet service service.

Hi

I am placing this complaint against Telkom, regarding my uncapped internet service that I have with them .

Over the past 4 weeks, the internet coverage /signal that I have received, is being getting worse by the day, and it deteriorated to a point where I can not even use the internet at all!

The call centre on two occasions, just resends signal, and that doesn't help the problem .It has gotten so bad that there is no signal whatsoever!I cant surf the net, social media, watch anything online, nor do any such work !This has been ridiculous

A fault log was registered with the following reference number [protected] last week Wednesday 14/02/2018, and to date, there was no response, nor no update with regards to this problem

I am paying the full fee for the uncapped internet and landlne, yet when I ask for a simple update or service response, I get no response, or a don't care attitude.If they are working in the line, atleast update me !

If I do not get a call from Telkom today, I will cancel my dealings totally with them and move without hesitation to another provider !

Telkom SA SOC fault report 12 february 2018

I would like to request a urgent inquiries regarding our telephone line. We report this fault on the 12 Feb 2018. We operate as a Guesthouse and it is very difficult without the use of our landline. We lose a lot of business and therefore can not use our credit card machine for the Guests who wants to pay with their Credit Card. We spoke to a Telcom Technician, he just simply telling us to wait our turn. I really feel that people who operate businesses should get a preference. If this fault is not repaired soon, it will require us to use other services and then completely cancel our telcom services. Can you please, give urgent attention to this prompting.

Telkom SA SOC cell phone contract - early debit

I signed a new on contract on 31 December 2017. An amount of R1906 was debited from my account on 15 February 2018 when the debit order of R1000 is go off my account on the last day of each month. I was later informed that there is a pro-rata charge of R906 that was due which I was not told about when I signed my contract. Furthermore to this I have not received an invoice for this amount and did not receive any correspondence regarding this to settle the outstanding balance. I have spent hours with the call center agents and none of them were able to provide an explanation to my queries which was highly frustrating. My frustration is that Telkom have acted unethically by not informing me about the pro-rata charge, not invoicing me for the charge, not informing me via any form of communication then debiting funds from my account without any of my knowledge and placing my account into arrears.

I will be submitting a formal complaint to the Nation Consumer Commission and the respective regulatory bodies as this is not the first time I have had a difficult problem with Telkom and their service.

Telkom SA SOC telkom adsl

Good day.
I reported a ADSL problem with Telkom two weeks ago. Received a ref no, and that is were the help stopped.
My services line is [protected] and the ref no: 44CTK050218.
I am running an accounting practice and cannot access the internet since Friday 02/02/2018. We are now officially offline for the last two weeks.
When calling Telkom, all the say is that they are working on the problem.
Today I call again and was told that the problem will be escalated - ref no: 1076424.
When I asked them what seem to be the problem with he line, I was told that they don't know yet. When I asked them to put me through to the technician who are working on the problem, I was told that up to know, no technician was appointed. Two weeks later and still nothing has been done on the problem. Maybe I must cancel the Telkom services as they cannot provide what they sell. Please response on the above. Jaco de Bruyn [protected]

Telkom SA SOC telkom line

Business telkom line, close to Durban CPD area - business contract.

Open fault in October 2017, first technician to show up was in the first week of February 2018. Guy said he is going to test the line outside at a building, never returned, just closed the fault.

Had to open a new fault as they refuse to open the old fault.

Bottom line is that we in a CPD area, business contract, going now 5 months without telkom service.

No where possible to lodge an complaint, as they constantly tell us that they escalated the issue, for the past 5 months.

Been requesting Telkom to repair my phone since 18 January. The fault number140cnk190118. [protected] id
non existing service only replies via sms. That does not help me one bit. They should privatise this and fire the individuals not doing there work.
