Trying to cancel a landline since May 2017
We've phoned 'customer support', provided multiple copies of the cancellation form, which we submitted on 19 May 2017. We've contact Telkom via their website chat and we've emailed Telkom support people directly as well as the customer service address.
We have received our new account statement and we are still being billed!
This is our timeline.
