Charging for sim swop

<p>Hello,</p> <p> </p> <p>I am a Telkom mobile user, I recently lost my cell phone, and needed to do a sim swop. I was told that its R35 to do a sim swop at a telkom store and free when you call the centre. </p> <p> </p> <p>So I decided to call the call centre, only to be told that they dont do sim swops on the phone anymore and I need to go to a telkom store to do it . </p> <p> </p> <p>Firstly how do you pay to stay in a network that Im already supporting and giving money monthly, why do I need to pay R35 for a sim swop? Secoundly, why is there is miscommunication between the stores and the call agents. </p> <p> </p> <p>Your agents are clueless about everything. I ask her why was I told to call in to do a free sim swop is they are not done via the phone. I asked to speak to the manager, and still today no call back. </p> <p> </p> <p>The service is terrible, one of the worst. i cant believe that you are guys are scoping so low to make us pay for sim swops when i've been a loyal customer for 5 years now. And theres no communication between your stores and call centres. </p>

Good day Amukelani,

Kindly buy a new Telkom sim card and send the sim card so we can do a sim swap for you.

A sim card number is the long number that starts with 89.

Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us on ***.

Uhmmm. You guys have delayed for 2 weeks now, Ive went to your stores twice trying to sort this out and all you can say is sorry?

You guys are unreasonalble and your call agents dont know anything.

your service is a joke, how do you expect me to do business with no number for two weeks? I just want my number back so I can port.
