Telkom FreeMe package issues and poor service

<p>I signed up for a 1GB Telkom FreeMe contract on Tuesday, which I thought would be a great idea, only that for some reason I can't make calls to non-Telkom numbers! I keep getting an automated voice error saying "Insufficient funds" when it's a post-paid contract, so this makes no sense.</p> <p> </p> <p>I logged a fault with Telkom, and not only did the person take down the problem incorrectly (I had to phone them to follow up, since no fault resolution ETA was initially given to me and I was left completely in the dark), they say now that I'll have to wait up to 9 to 10 working days for this to be resolved! How am I supposed to function, business-wise, for nearly 2 weeks without being able to call any of my clients?</p> <p> </p> <p>This is absurd.</p>
