INSENSITIVE AND NO SERVICE

Insensitive and no service : My Telkom line belongs to my late husband. I am happy to move to line to me if the Fault Department can please send to me to a person who answers at the sales department, I am holding now for 5 hours. I cannot go into a Telkom office as I am an Islamic Widow and need to be homebound till 15th October .. I am prepared to pay whatever so that the line can be moved into my name but can someone please answer the phone so I can send relevant documentation through showing that he has passed on and I was married to him

Good Day Sameera

Thank you for making contact with us.

Please accept our condolences for your lost.

For the change of owner we would advise you to take a copy of the death certificate and your ID to your nearest Telkom store, they will be able to process your request.

Reviewer Update
Thank you Bronwyn . I have done so and the Telkom agent who was helpful advised that it would take 24 hours but your billing department advises 21 working days. Please confirm which it is and why is there a difference in information. Also - please note the following, if your Billing department agent and her supervisor want to gossip about the customer , maybe ask them to switch the mute button on because - calls are recorded and it would be nice if your complaints department listens to the recording, it feels all warm and fuzzy inside when the supervisor says " These people all want their money now, using this situation".. I didn't want the refund today of my late Husband as I paid an additional R700 yesterday but , I just wanted the router to be fixed but your very service orientated fault department sorted that out when your billing department who has no clue - says that I would need 21 days before that can be fixed as well. So Telkom, can I please have my deposit after 21 days and an apology from the supervisor : If you want names, I recorded their names. Thank you for allowing me to feel terrible in my mourning period but no I am not looking for sympathy , I wanted to get my router working and yes my account is UP to date as always. Nice how we have to pay for a service and yet we are treated like ****. I wonder how much longer we would have to wait than the 40 minutes when our calls are so important to you, Telkom. Would we have to wait much longer when we actually receive some great service.. I would like to compliment Areefa from Fault Reporting , she actually made my day by helping me to sort the router as my husband couldn't come to the phone from his grave and in fact was a pleasure to speak to unlike your billing agent and her supervisor
