telkom mobile is useless

I have a contract with Telkom. I pay R899 per month for 5GB all network data, 2GB whats app data and 100 mins all network airtime. For some reason this month, August I didn't get issued my 100 mins like although I have been for all the previous months since May 2018. I called Telkom call centre on the 1/8/2018 at 16h00 to notify them that there was some mistake and that I didn't get my 100 mins. I was told that it would take 9 business days for me to get feedback. So I waited. Then after that I called to follow up only to hear that the matter still hasn't been resolved. I tried to follow up another 5 times in hope that someone could help me. I made no calls for the month as i had no airtime. If i had an emergency I was by no means to make a call or buy prepaid airtime on my contract. But every agent i called told me I used up all my mins on the 1/8/2018. This they couldn't support with an itemised list of the apparent calls I had made. Then another agent told me I was never issued the minutes and that she can see I made no calls, But i will need to wait till the query is resolved and closed. Today I followed up again and was told my case is resolved! Fantastic! No! I heard that on my package I dont qualify for 100 mins. The same 100 mins that I pay for on time every month. That I paid on time on the 1/8/2018. How? So I ask her to tell me what I pay for every month and she confirms that I pay for 100 mins, but the back office resolved my query and the feedback is I dont get 100 mins on my package? So I am left to understand that TELKOM is cheap (they have the best prices) yet that I wont get quality for that price and that I am obligated to pay on time but that they can take 9 business day to resolve my query, not get back to me and then change the terms of my contract. This is the worst experience I have had with a provider. Before this I was with Vodacom for 15 years. Regret leaving them now.

Extremely disappointed - 10 days later and still no feedback from telkom. Why Tumelo? This is an appalling experience. No feedback, no mins STILL and again my payment was made on time, but no news from TELKOM. I would never recommend Telkom to anyone ever!
