Telkom Debit for service not installed/used
I app**** for a Telkom LTE data package over the Telkom website in January. I was later called by an agent to confirm details and was told my devices would be delivered and my antenna would be installed. I also enquired about my current Telkom ADSL line and was told that I need to contact Telkom separately to cancel as it was another division. A week later, I received an SMS from Telkom stating that my application had been approved. About a week or two after that I received my modem and antenna as well as sim. Then nothing until the end of March when I received a debit for R890 and an invoice for another R599. The equipment is still in the box and my current Telkom ADSL line is still active, I was waiting for a confirmation before cancelling my current service. I called Telkom today and was told that the sim is active and could've been used without the antenna, information I could've used before hand. I have not received so much as a reference number before the debit came off. <br> This is not the way Telkom should be doing business, I would appreciate the proper notifications so that I can plan accordingly. I would also appreciate the chance to use a service before paying for it.

Currently the issue is still not fully resolved. Telkom contacted me and decommisioned my line on the 06th April. I was however still billed at the end of April for the entire month (R499). The billing can be pro-rata for new lines but not in the case of cancellations, the lady I've contacted wrt my April ADSL billing told me that even though I only used the ADSL service for 6 days in April, I would have to pay for the whole month. I've forced her to open a dispute (***5) even though she told me it would it would be futile, this has just been rejected.
The mobile team contacted me to make arrangements to compensate for the months I was paying for the LTE service but was not using it, this aspect is resolved, thank you.
