No feedback

How can telkom **** me up again within 24 months?

I walked into a telkom store in johannesburg main str to look for an upgrade as my contract was due to expire.

I was advised by the consultant that I must have my contract for atleast 22 months to qualify for an upgrade which I was on the 24th month of my contract.

But when the consultant checked my profile it shows that I signed up on the 19 January 2016 but have only had my contract for 7 months.

This has got me to a point of no return with telkom. On the 20th of December 2017 while still at the branch I called the customer care line for this to be fixed and a case was logged and till today I havent received anyfeedback.

On the 1st of January 2018 I received data and call minutes as per my contract. So this means that I will be paying R249.00 for 500mb and 50 call minutes.

I have called in asking for feedback and till today nothing was done. I cant load my own data cause if the kind of contract I had meaning that this sim card I have is useless just like telkom. The difficult situation that telkom has put me in is that my whole contact list has this no and I can not reply/responde back and risk paying R249.00 for the data sent to me.

This is how im suppose to start the new year with problems for telkom and again I say that telkom level of service is the saddest ever and I hope to inform as many people/customers as possible if this is not sorted out by someone higher then the stupid consultants I have to speak to that does not know what the **** is going on.

Thank you for the response, but yet again it show that the telkom staff does not care. No one has gotten back to me beside via hello Peter. after speaking to another telkom consultant on the 8 January 2018 to query the progress of the matter the consultant just told me that they will make a note and forward my query and someone will call me.....Lol no one called. On the 23 January 2018 a debit order tried to go off my account and as I was under the impression that my contract is done/cancelled, i received a sms for a debit order and because their was no funds in my account i have a unpaid charge. I called in again on the 23 January 2018 to query this and was told that I had to complete a cancellation document which was not mentioned to me when I spoke to the previous consultants. I finally got to speak to a team leader by the name of Mariam Mopedi and was told that this is my fault that the contact was not cancelled, yeh right because the consultant did not mention the document which needed to be completed and this after I told them that I will not pay the R249 as I want this thing cancelled. I've asked the team leader so if the consultants do not do their jobs properly then the clients have to pay for their stupidity. After refusing to admit this she finally did and has the nerve to tell me that telkom will not take responsability and reimburse me which is utter nonsense. I was aslo advised by the team leader that the document will be sent to me to complete and will receive a call from her manager before 5pm today. I'll wait to see this. I have noticed that their is a number of people that has been getting this **** service from telkom so it's not only me which means their is a very big issue on the side of telkom when it comes to service. Telkom needs to pull up their socks or they will loose a lot of clients. Hope to hear from you soon
