Number has been deleted/cancelled

<p>I requested a number port on 1st April ie link contract to my existing prepaid number. I was told that I will receive a call within 72 working hours. I called on the 3rd business day and according to the call centre agent I will just need to wait as the request has been opened. I then called again on 7th April and a message was sent again to the technical team to contact me. Also went to the store again (7th April) and I was told again that they cannot port my number even though the call centre staff informed me that they can. Its been more than a week since the request and I decided to rather call the technical team. I provided the number which needed to be ported and the technical agent could not find the number and confirmed that my number has actually been deleted/cancelled!!! Abosultely pathetic, disgusting service!! I was even issued with a new number. And now I have to go back to the store to recycle my original number. Telkom deserves a minus 5 star rating. Keep up the ****ty service.</p>
