Telkom SA is the worst!

This is a warning to anyone considering signing up with #TelkomSA. Don’t do it – you will regret it! #VodacomSA #MTNSA #CellC there are so many better options.

In December 2018 I cancelled my ADSL and Cell phone contract with Telkom. By 28 December both my services had been cancelled. January my normal invoice arrived and was paid by debit order. February my invoice arrived and was R0.00. I had been warned about how difficult it was to cancel with #TelkomSA but here I had a R0.00 invoice, . . . I cancelled any debit orders for Telkom just to be safe. In February I got another invoice this time for R15.03 when I finally managed to get hold of a person they couldn’t actually explain what this amount was for as both my cell phone and ADSL were capped and there was no way of going over, not to mention they cut both my services short, on 28th of December. Long story short they continued to try and debit my account and every time the debit order bounced they billed me R202.70. In January I closed my bank account and opened a new account. My Bank advised me to go and open a case at SAPS - against Telkom. The Bank also informed me that they had, had so many clients with stories like mine all involving TELKOM. Telkom is getting away with money that they are not entitled to because they bully us. They threaten us with legal action and blacklisting, most people just roll over and pay up. They are now claiming over R600.00 from me, have handed me over to their lawyers and are threatening to blacklist me. Nice one Telkom. Because of you I won’t be able get a loan of any sort, whether it’s a loan to survive during Covid times or a loan to buy a car etc.
