Disaster

I had an issue with my phone 3 months earlier of data disappearing. Had to restore my phone with factory default more than once. After 3 months of complaining, numerous calls and emails, all of a sudden the data did not disappear any more. With no feed back from Telkom regarding the reasons why it disappeared in the first place. I recently added a WiFi router to my contract. After receiving it, we had a 2Gig bonus for activation. This 2 Gig all day data disappeared withing 2 hours. The only thing the call center guy told me was it was internet usage. I told the call center that no one was using the router, to date no feedback. This was July 2017. This weekend the router suddenly gave a out of bundle notice (We have a 5 Gig all day and 5 Gig night surfer contract). After my call being dropped twice will following up on this, I received the data usage details. Night surfer usage was subtracted from my all day data. After confronting them about this, the lady told me I need to reboot / restart my router after midnight for the night surfer to kick in. This is not stated anywhere in small print, website, or upon selling the router to you. So I tried this, still I can not connect to the WiFi and I know I have data available. I called the call center again. The lady told me due to no Telkom tower in my region we can not access Night Surfer data. I repeatedly asked the sales lady regarding this, because we had the same issue with my phone contract. She said it will be the same as with all day roaming via the MTN towers. To date no reply received from the "follow up" team. I am definitely cancelling my contract as soon as it is completed. I will not recommend Telkom to anybody in future. This is very sad to pay for a service and they just catch you around every corner.

Reviewer Update
Since July, I only received one phone call from Telkom and it was to verify my address. Since then I had to phone more than 6 times already. And sent numerous emails regarding my case. Every time I call the call center they just comment to say that the system says they tried to contact me but I did not answer. They called my router, I called the center to just ask them to call me on my cellphone, ********** 250. Just to get an sms that they are closing my case. I phoned the center to hear there is only 1 attempted call logged. Every agent I talked to sent an email to back office, but still no reply. We even escalated my issue to floor manager to no avail. This is now going for month 4 with paying for a service I can not use. This is really frustrating. I can not spend 30 min each time on the phone to hear that there is no feedback logged.

I still have not receive any feedback. Will be calling the call center again today to ask for an update. Please advise the way forward. I can not pay another month for service not received. Please let someone contact me asap to explain what the problem is and why it is taking so long to give feedback.
