Absurd service for someone who's phone was ******

I am disgusted with Telkom service. Ihave been a long standing client but considering to take my business away. I have been struggling to get my debit order date corrected and hence every month there has been an issue with paying my account. Today my phone was ****** and after painstaking ques and getting a proof of residence, I was informed by a very rude assistant at N1 City Goodwood that my account is blocked hence I can not get a sim swop, nor my phone can be blocked as it needs to be done by the billing department. I have wasted 1 hour and 30 min just to shown away. I have now already waiting 1 hr plus for the billing department to phone me back nor their helpdesk has phoned me back on an alternative number. My lifeline is my phone....and Telkom does not care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I want to assistance and nothing. Telkom is a disgrace.

Reviewer Update
So I was back at N1 City branch today after promised yesterday that the problem will be resolved. Manager Ettienne Hartzenberg is not on duty. Two of Telkom's staff was very rude to me their names are ilhaam Safodien and Rufus Loe. Telling me they can not assist me.

So the problem is as follow:

My late husband was the primary owner of this account, So after more than a year of struggle to get the number and account moved to my name being the secondary, It was finally moved in August 2019 after a payment of R1995 was made. No problems thereafter until my phone was ****** yesterday. Apparently payment is still not reflecting and is still with collections. Note the payment was made August 2019 providing Telkom with a Pop. We did not receive any calls until today I was told by Ilhaam Safodien that payment was made to a wrong account after that account details was provided by Telkom. So since AUGUST 2019 no one could inform me or the executor of the estate of the mistake. So now, I have to wait 4-5 days for collections to sort this fault out. Which I know I wont get a call back. My business relies on my cell nr. I am now Loosing my patience, income etc...I feel traumatised by Telkom and their pathetic service. And they wont even respond to this either
