Sorry you lost R900..we could help you, but wont!

<p>I bought R900 of telkom airtime on 27/12/2016 in order to convert it to data for number ********** 353. I bought it via an ATM and unfortunately got just one digit of the number wrong ( ********** 343). Therefore it went to someone else. I called call centre - would not help. I then went to Telkom Direct store at Kenilworth Centre. Thabo confirmed the airtime was unused at the number I sent it too. He said he should be able to have it transferred back to me, I provided bank statement, proving I paid it to ********** 343 (it was one digit wrong compared to mine) so an obvious error, and I have a track record of buying for a number one digit different to that. </p> <p>I did miss a call the next day as my phone was off for a while. However I tried phoning Kenilworth repeatedly and got no answer, but left messages. Nobody has come back to me since then. </p> <p>This is shocking service as they even admitted it could be solved, I have spend many many thousands on airtime, but they will not help even though the problem was so obviously a mistake. What has made it worse is that they have not even the decency to reply to my messages or get back to me.</p> <p>I do not even know if the airtime is still sitting at the other number, but I do know it was when I complained, but they would not help.</p> <p>They seem very calm about loosing a long standing customer.</p>

Reviewer Update

Telkom have helped me and transferred the airtime back to me. I am very grateful for the help from Launa, and the quick response.

Although it was initially my own error it is a pity I needed to come to Hellopeter, I think Telkom need to let the call centres have some more flexibility when there is a obvious error, so that they can help the customer without the need for the customer to take it further.

However, this was a lot of money for me, and Telkom have really come through for me. I am very happy about this because I did not really want to leave Telkom, as I have absolutely no problem with the actual product, and have in fact had excellent experiences with my 3G internet via Telkom mobile.

Thank you

Regards,

Ross
