Telkom Landline System A Joke

A few years ago we were moved on to the "New" Telkom landline service/system whereby the phone itself worked with a SIM card. It seemed to go well for quite q while but in the last year it has been a nightmare. After every load shedding period, we have had to reset the handset and then in 80% of the time we are unable to make calls. What a waste of R400+ per month this has become. We will be cancelling and adding the value in minutes to one of or cellular contracts. After 40 years, goodbye Telkom.
