Urgent request for sim replacement
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an urgent matter regarding the replacement of my wife's SIM card. Her phone was recently stolen, and we are in need of a new SIM with the same old number.
Unfortunately, your employees have informed me that I must physically be in the country to provide my fingerprint for the replacement process. Given the current circumstances, it is not possible for me to be there in person. As loyal customers for over 9 years, this has been a disheartening experience for us.
I kindly request your assistance in issuing a new SIM card with the same old number without the need for my physical presence. We would greatly appreciate any help you can provide to resolve this matter promptly.
Thank you for your attention to this request. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Now, I'm frustrated because of this matter because they are not responding and keeps on sending me the bills and i don't use the product anymore. How do i get this matter resolved as soon as possible?

LTE
Telkom has suspended my LTE service due to some unpaid debit order. Now a consultant named Marks Matlou from the Centurion branch called me to notify me of the uncollected debit and sent me the invoice of R200.50 to reconnect my LTE internet connection. I then went and paid the invoice on the 22nd Feb 2024 around 16h00 , then the same evening Telkom made a debit of R598.50 on the 23th February 2024 00h00 . My challenge is how much was I really suppose to pay and why after all this payments 3 days later I still have no internet connection. This is just not on , how can the company take money from me and still not give me the service
Desired outcome: I need the internet back and extra money paid reversed

Billing
I want to understand how a contract of R299 can be debited R864. On the 22 December Telkom debited R509 from my account when I called they told me I did not pay my October subscription while they did not deduct, End of January I contacted Telkom informing them that they did not debit my account which was supposed to be R299, today 15 February 2024 Telkom goes and debit R864 which is almost 3 times what I owe them. I have been trying to contact Telkom since I received my invoice and all I’m told they have technical issues i should call later, later I’m told the same thing, I’m considering cancelling this nonsense
Claimed loss: R864
Desired outcome: To explain why should was deducted and refund me for negligence

In December 2023, Telkom debited my husband's account, it bounced as I am the one that put his money into the savings (i was very scared of card cloning etc )especially with it being December. Instead of Telkom emailing him about it, or an sms, they sent nothing. As i was in hospital, I didn't check the account and see that it bounced. We received NO...
Read full review of Telkom SA SOCSim card deal sold to me without proper informing client about the actual contract. Was misleading
I purchased a telkom sim only deal around march april 2023, from Gateway store the consultant did not inform me about the data usage and contents and pro rata offered otherwise it was not worth the trouble as i already had 3 x telkom contracts. But instead i look at this as false representation and misleading the client just to sell a contract. When i went to cancel, consultant just cancelled but never explain the consequences being directed to me instead of the consultant who sold the product. Now my bank account is constantly being debited and its now affected my credit history despite this was never my fault. Numerous emails submitted to telkom complaints seniors but never received a response.
Claimed loss: Almost R1000
Desired outcome: This must be stopped and cancel this error caused by the employee of telkom.

Telkom business landline
I cancelled my telkom business landline 8 months ago. I relocated to another province and no stoporders were processed through my banking account after april 2023 upto september 2023. To my surprise the full debit order amounts started to be debited / deducted from my account starting october 2023 again and now in november too. I have been to the telkom store twice now, a billing dispute was lodged in october, but now the telkom store staff said that I had to contact telkom myself on 10217. But I am not going through on the line using my cellphone? What recourse do I have against telkom for this fraudulent deductions?

Read full review of Telkom SA SOCNo network for 6 days not response and customer service laughs
It has been 6 days since we last had connection on our LTE in our town. We have not response from Telkom and their customer service agent just blatently told me that she will not log a call even if the tower is faulty. After repremanding me for not answering her fast enought, Neho continues to laugh at me when I asked her if she was still on the line after I explained to her that it is not a router problem. After a very tiring conversation and an attitude to boot, she proceded to try and explain to me how to rest my router...I can die...How are people like this in service? How do we as the consumers still always come last?
Desired outcome: Fix the LTE and fix Neho, I do not speak to you like that when you visit my business, I really just ask for the same
