SIM not activated after 100hours and still waiting

SIM is meant to be activated within 24 hours - that is unacceptable considering technology but I accept that. What I don't accept is still waiting after 100 hours since I received my router and SIM. I have called every 24 hours at my own expense, time and frustration only to be told on each occasion that the SIM has not been activated - I KNOW THAT!!!!! Each operator has told me they have sent a request to activate the SIM - clearly the processes do not work at all.<br> Today I find out the request was cancelled due to an incorrect IMEI number recorded - fine, I understand people make mistakes - but why does no one call me to ask for the correct IMEI number - instead - make the customer wait and let them call in to find out what is happening. Only to be told at the end of the call that I must call again in the morning to see if they have activated the SIM!!!<br> <br> *** Telkom!!!!!! SERVICE non existent!!!!
