Telkom Online Mobile - Stay away! Bad service!

Took out an S8 contract with VR device Every aspect of this transaction was a mess. 1. Delivery weeks late; it was a birthday gift 2. Agents give incorrect information 3. Sales person gave incorrect information about delivery time 4. Agents cannot see which agent handled the previous enquiry 5. Impossible to get hold of an agent that you dealt with previuously 6. Supervisors do not call back 7. Fabrication of reference numbers that do not exist 8. Hold on for ages and then when the call is answered you cannot hear the agent as the agents in the background are having a 'private party'. Why are they not logged in to speed up service 9. Wrong VR device delivered 10. Go through the whole frustrating issue to get it swapped out 11. Again incorrect delivery times 12. Empty promises 13. Agent answers and while you speaking the issue she transfers you to a complete wrong department. They know the call cannot be traced and use this rude strategy to get rid of you. Chances are when you call again you will not get through to her again. 14. When you ask the wrong department to transfer you to a Supervisor they put you back in the queue 15. When you ask for a Supervisor they transfer you again to the wrong department 16. The list goes on

My advice is to stay away from Telkom. It is a frustration to deal with them. Ask yourself if you need to go through this ordeal to save a couple of Rand

Good day Telkom Please give me a telephone number of a person that is willing to take up this case. I have been dealing with David Govender Lead Associate - Online Mobile Support Emai: ********** Unfortunately it is now 3 weeks later and I still do not have this resolved and nobody makes any effort to contact me. This has been going on for two months. Serious, is this the service we can expect from Telkom? Two months!!!!!!!!! Please resolve ASAP.

Four months eleven days and the issue hasn't been resolved! I do not think I have to say more. Just spent another hour and 15 minutes on the phone. The last mail on 22 September clearly stated the peson is aware of the problem, but now denies it! Again I ask people the question; do you want to do business with a company with this service. I held on for 37 minutes the last of my three calls today. The first call Imade today; the agent shouted at me because I could not hear the number. When I phoned the number she gave me it was the wrong number and I had to call again and waited 15 minutes for an answer. Suggestion to 'hellopeter'. Why not make some emoticons available the you can see the smile on my face.
