Telkom phoned me and sold me a product that has no coverage in our area, now refuse to refund me

In June a telkom operator phoned me and offered me 5 gig data contract. She checked on my street address to make sure that I had coverage and she said we have excellent coverage. On top of the contract I also had a R500 available spend should I exceed my data. I was not worried about that because I have never used 5 gigs of data in a month. June and July the product worked. In July I phoned telkom to ask why they have not deducted the subscription from my account yet. They told me that they will deduct it end of the month. My bill was R798.00. I told the operator that could not be. I immediately removed the R500 available spend limit. End of Aug they deducted R645.00 from my account. I phoned on the 4th of Aug and a lady from the technical department phoned me on 28th of Aug. She immediately realised that because I removed the available spend the product did not work as it has no coverage in my area. She said I will be eligible for a refund since this product was sold erroneously to myself. Since then I have been trying to cancel this product and get a refund of all the money I paid, since I only used the available spend limit BECAUSE Telkom had no coverage. Not because I exceeded the 5 gig of data I received. Today they deducted the subscription again indicating that the product has still not been cancelled. I phoned today to report this again and again I was assured that a case will be logged. Case nr ********** 0 and ********** 9. Every time I phoned telkom the calls took between 15 and 20 minutes. That is airtime I had to pay for. I am so disapointed with the service. Antoinette

Good day Since Telkom's reply on the 3rd of November I have not had the feedback they promised. I phoned last week and again today. Nobody from Telkom has phoned me at all. I was told that my query has been escalated and a supervisor will call me today. I doubt that. My new case nr is ********** 0. Judging by the amount of review on here for telkom it is clear that they are not assisting their clients at all.

Good day I phoned on the 23rd of November and Ntobile advised me that I will receive a full refund in the amount of R1 871.00 and that Telkom wil contact me with regards to how they will refund me. Now your email states R447.00. I want a full refund of all the money that was deducted as I would never have used the available spend limit if the 5 gigs of data you sold me had coverage. You guys just close your case numbers without advising me why it has been closed. Then you just give a new case nr. I have had about 6 case nrs and it is very confusing. The refund case nr is ********** 0. Kindly advise urgently. Antoinette
