We have been without internet for 2 weeks now. Fiber line working as telephone working. One of the router boxes is faulty. Ref no: 55BWK151021, still waiting for technicians to arrive. Telkom customer service leaves much to be desired. Response cant be to email as we dont have internet….what is Telkom going to do about this? This is a business, how are we to operate without internet!
I cancelled my landline with the adsl connected to this line the 1st of May 2017, I requested a full transfer to Pretoria with my adsl line as I am using a telkom internet address. The new line was a problem instead I received a Pretoria number 012 640-4279 contact no with a sim card ON THE 5TH OF JUNE 2017. I was in contact with Telkom several times after I received my new number all my emails was cleared when the internet was connected.
I also had phone calls from Telkom as they had a problem with the 011 fix line to cancel it.
I kept on requesting why my bills are so high as I am only keeping the number for my internet connection.
Yesterday I was told that I am still paying for the 011 number as well since 2017, I want my credit back.
Getting so irritated wanting to know why is the connection so bad in Regents Park. Keep on saying busy connecting, no service and internet not working. Have the same problem with my telephone that the reception is so bad.
I have a huge problem, i have a two year contract with telkom for a monthly fee of R334.00 but every month i get billed more that R500 for last month they deducted R1800.00 on my bank account, i have sent emails tried calling but no assistance today on the 23rd Sep they deducted R3900.00 i dont know what to do, i just need assistance with cancellation and my money back.
Telkom been a very disappointing company. They do not care about their customer hence all the complaints. I have a simple issue that they refuse to resolve and then they charge me for their issue. Best taking they public and all social media platforms making sure people are aware what they doing. Will take these issue withe ICASA as well. Ever since Sipho took over this company everything went wrong. All proof will be provided, calls made were recorded. Call center staff working for outsourcing company WNS have the same attitude.
I’m on the telkom 24 month lte contract. I was promised speeds of 10 mbps. I cant get these speeds reason being over crowded towers. I’m having problems streaming especially friday, saturday and sunday. The lte signal keeps freezing and going off. I’m paying R849.00 per month and putting up with nonsense from telkoms poor infrastructure.
I have an old 24 month 20mb contract which comes to an end during November. I was tempted to change to the new R199/mth 40mb deal, but this month was presented with an extra cost of R 5,000 (on one day) for data which I could not have used. The same thing happened last year when I was erroneously charged a nonsense amount of some R6,000. That matter was sorted out only after refering the problem (not challenge) to ICASA.
Our signal is continually below strength and intermittent which affects downloading and connection. TELKOM seems not to be interested in providing the service advertised and acting in a professional manner. We will migrate to another private company that is able to perform as claimed and which is more contactable.
Your services are very poor ,i signed up for R199 contract and now i’ve been sent an invoice of more than R500 which i did not sign up for and the contract i cancelled it along time ago but am still being sent invoices for payment after i asked the contract to be cancelled and the person i spoke to assured me that the contract was cancelled only to find out later that the contract is still active and i must for more than i signed up for.
Telkom does not care about customer service at all. They simply could not be bothered and it’s rather unfortunate. I have been waiting for my upgrade to get processed for weeks now, I call into the Sales department and they cannot locate my order. No one is interested in assisting and the staff is all rude. I will be cancelling my contract with immediacy. Pathetic brand!
UPGRADED TO FIBRE (WITH UNLIMITED 25MB/S DATA & UNLIMITED CALL PACKAGE ABOUT 7 WEEKS AGO. PROBLEMS WITH SPEED – ONLY RECEIVE 0.4MB/S AND CANNOT VIEW NETFLIX. CONTACTED TELKOM SEVERAL TIMES TO REPOSRT FAULT BUT THEY SAY I AM ON 20GB PACAKGE AND HAVE EXCEEDED MY USAGE SO THEY SAY NO FAULT. THEIR SALES DEPARTMENT TELLS ME THAT I AM IN FACT ON THE UNLIMITED BUNDLE BUT FAULT DEPARTMENT SEEM TO USE A DIFFERENT COMPUTER SYSTEM SO MY PROBLEM SIMPLY CONTINUES.
It has been 5 month of not being able to access the internet, but have been billed each month for a data contract that I cannot access. I have sent 26 mails and 4 call center phone calls and 2 visits to the local offices and they still cant help me.
Good day, Telkom is dishonest and send me a bill of R645 for my monthly 500mb data. I don’t even receive the data. They deducted the amount from my bank account. I don’t have a contract with Telkom and is on a month to month payment. Can somebody from Telkom please get in contact with me.
My problem started on May 20121 , the billing department need to do they job, I cant afford to be paying for something i didn’t even use. My line got suspended, no body couldn’t even explain to me why that was. Secondly my invoice for June its very high. The support consultants are not well trained…you will explain your problem then they will tell to hold while they are looking at your statement…then they will hang up just like that.
Good day…just want to ask something, why is that you change data prices at anytime without even notifying your customers. You can’t tell me that I can now only buy data with only 2 days duration. Let me tell you this your data is becoming expensive, I thought it’s a reliable source of network but no, I’m done…
Telkom after sales service is absolutely pathetic, I keep getting charged penalties for unpaid debits yet on my side the bank statements show they have went through , when asking for help from the accounts and billing department it’s like u speaking to a brick wall and the consultants at store are even worse they dont even know thier own products or policies and procedures
I am seriously considering cancelling all my contracts with telkom just on the basis of very bad service delivery and after sales service, telkom has become so hard to communicate…u cant even go to store to speak directly to anyone for help..
I have been paying for services that was sold to me falsely. When I contacted the call centre the consultant is telling me I am wrong when I explain to her my deals with them. Instead of her fixing their problem she kept on blaming me and telling me I am wrong. I am paying 275 for my second contract that is supposed to have 40GB she is saying this number only received 800MB who in the world can pay so much for such? She can’t listen to me she is rude and I am not happy with the untrained consultants they have.
Telkom sales and billing department has the worst service ever!!! I’ve applied on 27 May 2020 for a Covid 19 Home Premium Lite 20mbs ADSL line – R599 x6 months and R799 x 18 months. On 28 May 2020 the line was activated, I phoned Telkom sales to confirm that the correct package was activated, the lady confirmed it. At the end of June I’ve received my 1st statement and that’s were the issues started. The lady who did my application did not activate the package that I’ve requested AND she did not merge my account BUT she just added another ADSL and line which resulted in me having TWO accounts. I’ve logged numerous incidents (and by that I mean every 2 to 3 weeks to get this rectified). When you log your incident, they tell you that the investigation will take 72 hours and once done they will phone you – WHATEVER- it’s just resolved or rejected with NO REASON!!! No one in sales or billing can tell me on which package I’m on – I’m being billed for 2 accounts – the funny part (I’m not laughing about it, I’m seriously bleeped off about this) is that I have one house with 2 ADSL lines coming into it – then they say but that is not possible!!!! You can phone and explain this to them, to no avail! They just tell they can see it’s not your fault, they will log an incident and escalate it…to their supervisor and to the lady who did my application! I don’t think that she and the others read their mail!!! I’ve being charged double for a year now (8 days short). OH and don’t think that when you speak to a consultant and ask to speak to their supervisor , it will happen!!! They are full of excuses as to why he can’t speak to you right now!!!! I’ve been double billed to this date (they owe me money for nearly 12 months). They just want your money BUT can’t do their work which they get paid for!!!! I’m canceling my ADSL at Telkom tomorrow – I’m fed up with their incompetence!
When we want to log a complaint they promise to call you back but this never happens. I have been to the bluff branch twice and my wife as also been there about four time since we have taken out a contract with Telkom. You get told the complaint has been captured and someone will call you soon this never happens, so you call again and again and your airtime and data is going down and still no resolve.
Dear Caty and other complainants
I am confronted with the exact problem – no compliance to what was agreed to. My strongest frustration though is that one cannot reach the consultants – numerous calls, numerous sms – to numbers reflected on the invoice. Even visiting one of the Telkom outlets in malls like Brooklyn, Menlyn or the Grove – results in nothing – they don’t handle account problems/enquiries. The problem is getting worse: I have enquired about an alternative package with a private company – excellent service to date – but I cannot go into contract with them, as TELKOM needs to release my line (I already have fibre in place). For me to get out of the contract, I will have to pay the remaining period of the contract – another year! Who is willing to do that – although I am tempted. Maybe we should do the toi-toi thing in front of the TELKOM head offices – since that’s the only time when people get heard (hopefully not hurt).
We have been without wifi and land line for 2 weeks now! Fault report reference 21CWK030521 on 2 May 2021. Tech came out to 56 Beach Road Strand on 3 May 2021 – informed us cables were stolen and even the pole with the Telkom “box”. Telkom would be in contact. Received numerous SMS messages up until 9 May 2021 e.g. Telkom busy investigating, Telkom seeing to the problem, Telkom will attend to the problem. It is now the 14th of May 2021 and still nothing is done! We contacted the call centre today just to be informed that the case is closed (which means the problem is resolved). The agent logged another fault and yes another report reference 31CWK140521. Still no service at all but we are paying for a contract.
I’ve been treated badly by customer service I paid every month my contract on time and they debited after they told me to pay it manually so they owed me a I just had to pay the difference the following month and I did and a few days later they switched my fone off an say I’m in arrears. How can I be when they owed me.
No matter how happy or sad i get, I’ll never associate myself with telkom ever in my life and I’ll never encourage or advise anyone to part with telkom. It’s truly nothing but the most frustrating company I’ve came across. The only thing they are good at is penalties, they penalize people within a minute but fail to give back the service they deserve. I’m sick and tired of trying to get hold of their consultants without success, even if I get one i never get my problems solved and I’m always penalized for things I don’t even understand how they came to their conclusion.
Telekom is the worst. I’ve been bounced from consultant to consultant and when I’m not I get an automated referral to a WhatsApp link that serves no service to the query I have. Consultants don’t seem to know which department is what and they always aren’t able to transfer you so what must happen? I’m so disappointed with Telekom. My contract with them end in a couple of days and I’m meant to get a refund on my overpaid balance and no help given. I will never refer anyone to use Telekom.
I have requested a technician to come to my house to assist with slow internet speed. I was told last week that the turnaround time for the technician to call me is 3 day, to this day I haven’t received any call from you. I am definitely canceling my contract with you come end of term as I am paying for mediocrity
Last year in June / July I have opened a contract for LTE Wi-Fi plus Telokom offered a package deal whereby they added a Flat screen TV . The consultant at the branch in N1 City CapeTown informed me that the TV would take approximately two to three days to arrive. The distributor is Digital Planet. The Wi Fi was connected. I waited for Telkom to respond to when the TV will be couriered to my address. I phoned digital Planet when the TV will arrive. The manager Mr Kevin Van Wyk informed me that they had no stock on hand and would take some time to get new stock. I told him to cancel the TV order and that I would only pay for the Wi Fi which I did. Telkom sent me a bill the next month and billed me for the Wi Fo and the device(TV)
I sent numerous emails to Telkom to inform them that I cancelled the TV order. The next month I received an invoice from telkom stating that I owed R16100. I am very dissatisfied on the way Telkom is dealing with their customers. They never return or respond to their emails. I have become so frustrated because Telkom will deduct randomly R8500 and then R5800 out of my account. I have other Bill’s also to pay.
have given up.
In January 2021 i received a call from telkom that a query i made in 2020 ( February) where i had requested for a transfer/relocation of fixed line and adsl to a new residence.My request had been ignored for a year and i naively/loyally continued to allow Telkom to bill me for services i was not enjoying or not using. The paid services as per telkom were reversed reversed back into my account.I requested a statement but have not received it.
In doing all this my request for transfer or relocation of line has not been finalised..i have in numerous occasions tried to be proactive and make folllow ups without success but more of disconnected and inconsistent responses from the telkom sales staff.
The following has been my heartbreaking experience (in no order):
1.was advised that Order number or case number had been cancelled as there was no infrastructural equipment at my new materials..This is untrue as the previous owner of the house had telkom running and adsl. The owner is currently experiencing the same challenges like me
2. Was told then again that the cancellation was a system error.
3. Was told that my case has been escalated as my new residence has not been verified
4. Was told that the team leader for verification is on leave hence the delay..
5. Everytime i call i receive a different feedback that reverses any purported progress
I am just tired.looking at cancellation
I had a contract phone from June 2018 lost it in September 2018, i did not cancel the contract immediately my fault, so I had an outstanding balance.
On 28 December 2020 I called number 081180 I spoke to a consultant explaining the situation and ask for the balance so I could close the contract , they gave me the below balance, I paid it off the same day see attached proof of payment, I recently realized that the account was still open so I called in today 21 January 2021, the consultant told me there is a balance of R87??? I asked why because I was told to pay off the R2090.40 which I did. none of your consultants told that I have to go on a website and close off the account because apparently the R87 is for the month of January , this is new to me because I thought I was done with this last year already..the cancellation was done only today..why? I’m still waiting for the invoice i was told will emailed today..I hope it has a 0.00 balance on it because I can’t be charged for incompetence.. please fix this as soon as possible I want telkom off my credit score..remove that R87 from my name I know nothing of it..
I do not have access to a telkom account, never have. don’t tell me log into anything please.
I don’t know the number the number of the lost phone.
Case number 56276184
I am really sick of Telkom people stuffing around our unit in a gated complex. They have dug up our garden, they never cleaned up after themselves, they damaged our plants (of course, who cares what all that costs), put put ugly cables on our outside walls and never bothered to ask if we actually want any of that. We don’t use Telkom, we cancelled our contract and don’t want their services for Internet or anything else, but they still bring their fibre to our house. They walk all over my plants, like as if there are no steps. Is there ever going to be an end to those people in my space?
I am so fed up with Telkom, we have been trying for two months to get our account sorted out, after it was upgraded without our consent, which in my book is fraud. Every time you call you get passed from pillar to post and not one person seems to be able to assist you, only empty promises that the matter will be escalated to a supervisor, whom you are not able to speak to, because they are working from home.
The service WiFi and landline was disconnected yesterday, as they expect me to pay for the fraud that was committed by one of their employees. I do not understand how I must pay for something I did not consent to in the first place. When you ask for email or contact details for a manager or senior person, that too is brushed off and you get told they are not allowed to share such information.
Johan, I fully agree with you. Telkom service is so so bad. I’m waiting on a refund for a device I returned within the cooling off period. It’s been a month already, and every time I need to call in and get told the same thing. I’m sick and tired of this bad service we getting from them. And there’s no alternative mail or contact person to escalate the matter too.
But I want my money back!!!
I called Telkom in October to cancel my ADSL contract that had completed the 2 year period. I had Fibre installed in October via MWEB. However I received an invoice in November again, which I paid to ensure the contract is ended. Then to my total disgust I received an invoice in December again. I called and this time I took down the cancellation order number. However in January 2021 I received another invoice stating I owe Telkom.
Good day I have been calling Telkom from October regarding the billing on the cancelled contract , they billed me NOVEMBER r and December , I called in for refund on the 21OF DEC and I spoke to Delisile which she promised that she will communicate with me regarding the refund and she even send the confirmation of the cancellation, she didn’t call to provide feedback she said it sent to the manager but no response they keep billing me, I spoke to Pulane after speaking to Delisile she escalated but still billed again and penalized for reversing the debit since they didn’t refund me. I called in today which is the 01/05/2020 spoke to Fikile requesting the paid up letter and cancellation letters she said i will get feedback before 12 but still it’s now 4:15 no call. I call again I spoke to a programmed consultant Princess WHO WILL TELL ME ABOUT THE PROCESS OF TELKOM THOUGH SHE SEE THAT THIS IS NOT MY FIRST CALL and it’s not assistance . she said its escalated to Granny and this granny is not contacting nor doing anything about the billing. my risk profile is ruined , my credit risk is ruined all because of the contract that i never missed any premiums until the agreed time. please rectify and please train Princess that it’s not a problem to sometimes forget the book cause she sound like a robot , sometimes you must try to think on ways to assist if the process that YOU follow don’t assist your customers. Herrison Malonga PLEASE CHECK IF YOU TEAMLEADERS DO CONTACT CLIENT CAUSE SINCE OCTOBER HAVING THE SAME QUERY WHICH ALL CONSULTANT THAT I SPOKE TO CONFIRM THAT I SUPPOSE NOT TO BE DEBITED AND WILL GET REFUND BUT no HELP. I wanted to upgrade and a consultant from sales team promise to call and never called. so it seems like its Telkom values to avoid client and you never prioritize your client. I no longer want the upgrade. I ported my number from Vodacom to Telkom and this kind of service makes me think that I took a wrong decision I will never advise a person to take a contract with Telkom
Telkom and Openserve has done it again!! My ADSL line has been down for over a week now and after logging a call and following almost daily, no response whatsoever. All you hear from the call center that the call is being attended to, and the issue is with the service centre for diagnostics and if required they will send out field technicians to attend to this fault. Now either we have under skilled resources to address the issue remotely or onsite. Unless they simply dont care a damn of their customers. The area outage has been going on intermittently for months with each time taking more than 3 days to resolve. Simple maths calculates this to Telkom is financially benefiting lots from its customers without providing service and reimbur*****ts. The question is why must one complete a tedious claim form which GOD knows how long this will take to be reimbursed, notwithstanding the current pathetic service they continouosly deliver to its loyal customers. Telkom and Openserve needs to seriously jack up their service as not all good last forever. Their blatant disregard to respond to customers is having a significant impact on this crippling economy where reliance on the infrastructure they sold cannot have access to remote internet access for operations.Despite the number of complaints and poor ratings, withbtheir image being threatened,they just have total disregard. I have escalated this matter twice already, even their management have no sense of comittement, probably skills as well to feedback to its customers whom contribute to their salaries. This is highly frustrating when we have our comittements to perform tasks to keep employed and Telkom and Openserve does not play their rightful and significant role to provide basic service in this industry. We have to constantly procure data in order to keep relevant to our employer. This not forgetting the cellphone calls used to follow up to log a call and followup with their service centre with waiting time to speak to an agent calculating to over 5 minutes. In the same instance, they take up your time to market their products. This is unbelievable that they can’t service existing products and services yet wanting to sell new and more of this.
