Hi Launa,
When should I expect the Cancellation Team to contact me as I have had this responce before.
I was promised 72 hours before and 3 months later I'm still waiting...
Can I proceed in adding the Cancellation Team to my list of people who fail to respond to any of my queries and reply with useless responses like

"Dear Valued Customer,Your case no ********** 6 @ Telkom Mobile is resolved.Please call 081180 for further information Regards, Telkom | Business Connexion" (30.12.2016)
