Wanting to bill penalty fees when upgrading.

<p>I am a very disappointed customer today. I went to your Irene store to upgrade (or as your store calls it – migrate) my data package to a bigger package.</p> <p>Firstly, when I signed up for my current package, your promotion said that it’ll be a 15GB package (10GB Anytime data and 5GB Night Surf) – which was not the case, now I’m stuck with 5GB Anytime data and 5GB Night Surf data.</p> <p>When I took the package I asked the question; that should I want to upgrade, will I be able to do without penalty fees being billed and I was told yes (this was over the phone).</p> <p> </p> <p>I went to your Irene store this afternoon, wanting to upgrade (migrate) to the 20GB package @ R449.00 p.m. and the lady (Tshabi M.) told me that I will have to re-apply for the new package (because the contract is only 10-months old). I once again asked, are there any penalty fees involved? She said yes, however she couldn’t tell me how much it would be.</p> <p>So I asked for it to be reversed and she made it very clear that Telkom cannot do this, when I asked for the manager, the lady told me that the manager is on the phone and she cannot see me and that I will have to wait.</p> <p>I’ve always been a happy Telkom customer and I always recommend other people to use Telkom. Now, when I am willing to pay more for data and get a bigger package WHILE REMAINING A TELKOM CUSTOMER, I am being told that penalty fees will apply, FOR WHAT???</p> <p>I’ve received several calls from Telkom telling me that I’ve been such a loyal customer and that you are willing to give me more phone contracts without having to re-apply.</p> <p> </p> <p>I already have a modem, I just wanted to get a bigger data package. Why do I have to re-apply?</p> <p> </p> <p>Please do not call me if you are not willing to assist me.</p>

So, I’ve just received a call from Nthabiseng explaining that I will “not be billed a penalty fee”, I just need to pay an extra R50 per month for the modem or I must pay it once off (± R700.00). When I requested for the manager (Lambert), the manager was not available.

I am paying a package where the modem is included, now I want to upgrade to a package where the modem is still included, however I must pay an additional R50.00 for it (over and above the extra R250.00 that I WANT TO PAY, BECAUSE I WANT TO UPGRADE).

Why can’t you change the package as I wouldn’t like a new modem? I am happy to keep my modem; I just want more data for R250.00 (I am willing to pay for this).

I was informed that Nthabiseng’s manager will call me back, however I just received an SMS stating that my case ( ********** 9) has been resolved. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I REGRET GOING TO TELKOM WHEN I WAS HAPPY WITH VODACOM!!!!!!!!! PRODUCTS PRICES ARE GREAT, CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NOT UP TO STANDARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW DO YOU SEND SMS’S TELLING ME THAT THE CASE HAS BEEN RESOLVED, NOTHING WAS DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
