Genric pathetic service

Dont bother with these guys You pay and pay,the moment i submitted my claim i immediately felt like the victim with all these investigations that started,i was asked to provide details that i had tried every possible way to obtain info but was unable to , example..i had no idea that the card in the phone lost was pre registered as i had purchased it from individuals advertising telkom in telkom uniform,i done this for the signal and cheap data benifit, however when i called telkom i was advised i cannot blacklist the device as the card wasn't on my name ,n the reference for this was needed for a case number and the claim was not acknowledged without a claim number,i still have the box just not the device and cannot do anything at all due to this..i was treated like i had made up the story and was addressed very rudely by the stuff saying i was even making they jobs hard..again all this beyond my control and yet i couldn't be helped.. pathetic service and i hope i had helped more then 1 person make a more informed decision regarding insurance and dread this experience upon anyone else..genric,no response required or some corporate acknowledgement,treat us like humans not just a number nor like ********s which is exactly how i felt ..so my opinion based on first hand experiences..worse ever cellphone insurance company to deal with..WORSE !!! And i guarantee nothing will be done about this unless us as customers take a stand or decide to just be taken as or looked as upon as a number,not everyone can afford to buy a new phone when this happens Which is why we turn to you guys but end up feeling like a ********..

 Dear Julian,
 
We have investigated your case and found that the outstanding requirement for the ICT number (blacklisting confirmation) and the case number has resulted in your claim being in a pended status. We also noted that your cellphone number has been changed without notifying us.

Please be assured that we take all feedback seriously and are committed to resolving any concerns that our customers may have. We will be drafting a formal response to you and will keep you informed of any progress in resolving your claim.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Reviewer Update
I did not change my number,i got an additional number,big difference.the number provided upon the application is still in existence and always has been.i got a telkom number from guys who i assumed to be promoters of the brand and was also advised that it consisted of data and airtime, you contract does not state that i am obligated to used the number provided upon application in the device at question as the device and not the card was insured.in addition to this i wish thay you guys can show me even a single way that i didn't do or attempt to do wat was asked of me in order to validate a claim ,i did not know that if i had bought a pre rica'd card that i cannot get the number back nor can i use the network provider to block the device .all of this is beyond my control and cannot be done any other way.so again i ask,show me how I failed to be cooperative in the process. The judgment and assesment process of the outcome here was very ********* and i believe without a doubt that you guys do not strive to make customers happy..you cannot expect the impossible to be done . So i ask again,will my claim be re visited and accesst with considering the fact that i done everything possible to be cooperative and couldn't for reasons beyond my control.
