Cellphone contract
I bought a Huawei Nova 9a on contract at Telkom on the 27th April and since using for 5 months the phone stopped charging I took it to Telkom direct at greenstone for repairs since its still under 1 year warranty but to my suprise was given a R2088 quoted because of the crack on the side of the screen and when I called the store they said the quote included the screen 1stly I never asked for screen to be fixed and why wasnt I given 2 quotes for both screen and charging issue im not happy at all
Desired outcome: I want the charging issue fixed and my phone returned not the screen fixed

Desired outcome: amount day of time of period and i want my petrol money for driving up and down and time they waste from me and the inconvenience they cause for my child school work
fibre line
When I took out the 12 month contract, the sales consultant assured me it would remain R399 every month. I paid R399 end of June and since then it has been escalating and when I query it noone comes back to me with a resolution. Its bad enough that they debited me for an LTE line that was cancelled and promised to refund me but none of that happened.
Desired outcome: Refund my money or remove this device and the contract ends as they are not meeting their part of the agreement
Wifi Route
I have a Telkom wifi account. As per the agreement they charge me R269 monthly. On 01 July 2022 they charged me an extra R147 which they claimed it as a once off payment, that was all fine they debited it even though there was no explanation of this once off amount. Then on the 1st August 2022 they launched another debit order with another extra amount of R186 which is also claimed as a once off payment. They then sent me an invoice on the 1st September 2022 still charging me another once off of R180, when contacted them they could not give me a satisfactory response or they either make silly statement not understanding the real issue. I then request to be assisted to get my money back as I feel that these recurring once off payments are damaging by bank account big time. Also feel that their charges are not in line with the agreement. I even sent them and email but they never got back to me. I just have to pay, pay, pay Their conduct is unethical and ludicrous. By far the worst telecommunications company to deal with.
Desired outcome: Refund from Telkom
Funny enough I'm having the same problem at Telkom
service
usually Telkom debits my account on the night of the last day of the month. I always make sure that there are funds available on that day. At the end of July Telkom somehow debited my account on about the 25th for some unknown reason and the funds were not available yet. the next moment i try to make a call and get a voice message that my account has been blocked. I tried on numerous occasions to let Telkom know that the funds are available and that they must debit the account my service was restored again very late in the month of August. At the end of August Telkom did not debit my account at all and again just blocked my service. It has been almost two weeks again that I am sitting without a service that I pay for. I did manage to get a hold of someone eventually last Friday, where I shared my dissatisfaction. I asked the person that i spoke to to get a manager to contact me immediately, I am still waiting. So for a month now I have had no service. I am completely dissatisfied, with what is going on. I use your service for business purposes and due to a lack of being able to communicate with my clients I have lost out on a huge amount of business. I depend on the communication I have with my clients to survive each month, and this shocking service has been detrimental to my business and my life. I would appreciate an immediate response.

Cancellation difficulties and continue billing
Good afternoon
Asked to have my contract/s cancelled in Feb 2022 at Pavillion mall Telkom outlet. Upon realizing that I was still billed the same amount in the subsequent months, I visited another Telkom outlet at Watercrest mall for the same reason, I spoke to Miss Mkhize, who advised me to send an official letter for cancellation as the contracts are on business profile, which I did on the 07/06/2022 through to this email address: [protected]@telkom.co.za
To this date I'm still billed the same amount.
Again today (05/09/2022) I have requested cancellation of the same through an agent @ Musgrave telkom outlet, again I'm told about sms that I've not received. Subsequently I called the cancellation department via 081180 option 5, but only to be told this time, the systems are down, I need to phone in 2 hours time.
Everytime when I request to have my contract cancelled, different asked for different documents, why is there so much inconsistences amongst your agents?
The smses that all these agents have said I would received never came through
I would like to be refunded backdated from my first request of cancellation

Telkom cellphone contract
Telkom is one of the worst companies to ever exist, they was been debiting my mother's account for the past 10 years after trying to cancel it and stop them from taking money from an 80 year old women who has never even used their network. Sending emails to them that Noone answers to calling the call centre still nothing gets done is a shame. This is pathetic for my mother to have to experience such he life covers are starting to be affected by this because telkom keeps taking money unlawfully off her account. We need this to stop ASAP!
Desired outcome: Refund the 10 years of unauthorized debits
Device Contract
Took a contracted device from Telkom Gateway on 20 August 2022, called in today (25 August 2022) to inform them that the device display is cut off. Called in to inform them and they are not even clued up on policy. They advised that I should bring the device in and send it in for a service request for which I would have to wait 21 days to determine whether or not it is a manufacturing defect. I informed them that the device had been purchased for my mom and that some of her personal information is already on there. I asked them if the device would be reset and they said it would not, it would only be assessed. I questioned having my mom's personal information on the device and reminded them of the POPI Act. They then decided that the device would be wiped. Bear in mind that at this point I had been speaking with a supervisor who was of no help at all. I do not want my devices to be accessed. Why can't I just get a new device. It was only switched on this morning after leaving the store and is already defective. Telkom Gateway is absolutely terrible. This is the second defective device that I've received from them. Their customer service skills are useless and their supervisor has the worst attitude ever.
Desired outcome: I would like a new device or my contract to be canceled
Signal
NO SIGNAL AT ALL! PLEASE HELP!
I live in Amsterdam, Mpumalanga, South Africa.
For almost a week the signal is terrible, now I don't have any signal at all. I can only use internet when I'm at home as I have wifi at home, but I have absolutely no signal. My number is [protected].
As a mother with 2 daughters in school I relly need signal for communication with the school.
Desired outcome: Sigal would be verry helpful
It's been more than 7 days my sim is not working
On the 9th of August I went to telkom menyln next to game to ask them to use my old number as a contract since I have been doing it for more than 2 contracts. Since that day my phone number is not working. I went to montana they said its still pending it was done on the 11th.
Can someone help to resolve this issue because at 1st the lady didn't want to help she said I will loose my number if I do so. Or I have to move to other networks since the service is bad
My number is [protected] the one that is not working, you can call on [protected]
Desired outcome: I need my number to start working it's been more than 7 days
Sim card and data package offered
I was phoned by Telkom in 2021 with an offer for a sim card and data package. I accepted the offer, but never received the sim card of any other service from Telkom. They do however keep taking funds via debit orders from my bank account. I can't even cancel the product because I never received any kind of product to start off with, and don't have an account number or any reference number other than my ID number.
I was told on numerous occasions, when phoning them, that my account would be refunded, but instead, they keep debiting my account.
Desired outcome: I need my account to be refunded please and I would like Telkom to confirm cancelation of the debit order instructions on my account
About the installation of Fiber and poles in Atteridgeville Kalafong Heights
Since the begging of July contractors were installing Fiber for the household internet. The installation resulted in damaging my driveway and I have spoken to Team leader from Telkom. We did made an appointment on the 05 August 2022 in the morning and he did not honer the appointment. I did call him on the 5 AUGUST and his phone was on voice mail. I did send him an sms on the 5 August, unfortunately no respond. I phone him again on the 12 August and on the 16 August without any help. I just want someone to assist by fixing the driveway as it was working accordinly before telkom send their service provider to damage the road.
Desired outcome: Telkom to assist by fixing my driveway and also install the pole at the back accordingly.
Telkom
To Whom it May Concerns,
On the 15/August in the middle of the month Telkom through EASYDEBIT goes into my account debits R1 347,72, currently I have no contract with Telkom if I had it its years ago,

Company such negligence I need an explanation and need to be compensated my right as a SOUTH AFRICAN CITIZEN WAS VIOLATED EXTREMELY, and emotionally disturbed
Awaiting your prompt response
Desired outcome: compensation for my violating my privacy
Mobile bill
I am writing this with great frustration. I am tired of the abuse I am getting t from TelkomSA. I had an issue where my debit bounced in June and I got charged R200 just for a bounced debit of R259. Thats really a scam, I am not sure why its allowed! But I paid the 200 and I called it to change my debit date from the last day of the month to the 5th of every month because the agent I spoke to said thats the date they have. I even double checked with the agent before I dropped the call I said "Please do not forget to change the debit date" before I could even finish she replied “its on the 5th" but to my surprise they debited again on the 1st of August instead of the 5th... and yes, It bounced, meaning I will have to pay another 200? Who's fault is this? I am frustrated and drained and to my surprise when I check mobile bill its says R923... What is this? From R259 to R923 yet I never missed any payment. This needs to be resolved or else I will drag it forward to people will listen and do something. Even if means pulling out the all the call recording for the 26th of July. Telkom is an abusive scammer. I am tired of their bad service. My Telkom Account No. [protected]
Desired outcome: My bill needs to cleared to 259. I have never missed any payment and i changed the debit on my end.
Telkom lte services
Called in end of June to change debit order date. Called again 23rd June to follow up on the status of the order called back 29th July was told the date was only changed on the 23rd of June to month end deduction. So that added up to back log payments. Called back on 2nd August to be told that there was no deduction made end of April but there was an amount deducted as per bank statements . Was also told that I have a back log credit. That is why I'm paying more than the actual amount
Fibre Relocation
I logged a fault for my Fibre to be relocated to my new address on the 1st August 2022. The lady that helped me at first gave me a reference number and told me that I should wait for her call to finish the order. I never received the call so I call back 2nd August 2022 where the fault was logged. Tuesday they told me that I should wait for a technician to contact me for installation. I never received any sms’s to indicate that the fault was logged nor was I updated. This morning when I contacted Telkom, they advised me that the matter will be escalated to the manager and they will send me an email, I am waiting the whole day and nonsuch received. When I called back they told me there is no port at the new address but the technician will get back to me. I need this fibre for work purposes and no service from Telkom. I am utterly disappointed in Telkom. I want to cancel my service!
Desired outcome: I need feedback as soon as possible so that I need to know if I should find another network provider
Telkom Data Service
The billing is very inconsistent and Telkom sometimes charges me double for my Data. I like the data deal but the billing is a big issue, I pay my bills every month but get over charged. When I go to the store I'm told I'm being charged for making calls. I disabled calls on that SIM and buy minutes for my other SIM but that doesn't seem to work, they still charge me. My contract is R250 p/m but I'm billed R700 this month.
Desired outcome: Consistent billing or Cancel my contract.
Billing
I have a closed account but yet i keep on being billed for services i don't use eversince i took out the contract
The person from Telkom who sold me the contract lied to me and said there is coverage in my area but there is none
I called the call centre numerous times
A technician was sent to my house. After the visit the only feedback i received was that my case has been sorted
The billling continued without me getting any services. I decided to reversing the debit orders and now i am being handed over. How can you expect me to pay for something i am not or is unable to use
Desired outcome: I would like my account to be closed and the debit orders stopped
Fibre speed
I was notified in May 2021 via sms that Telkom would be increasing my speed from 20/2 to 20/20. To date there has been no increase in speed. I still pay R850 per month for this low speed. I currently pay more than a 50mbps costs. I spoke to a consultant today who promised to phone back as has not phoned so far.
Desired outcome: Telkom needs to make good their promise of the line speed and reimburse me .
Telkom box in my yard
My name is Noel Molefe.
On March this this year 2022 I called Telkom offices complaining about a Telkom box that is in my property in my garage.
I was promised that they will send somebody to remove it.
The box is inside my garage door also blocking and making it very difficult for our cars to move inside.
Twice now my wife has dented her car with the box as it is in our garage.
The other lead if the box is open that I can see that it is not use because I can see sand in it and loose wires.
It is now a playing ground for mice and rats.
Can this matter be attended to as soon as possible or else I will have to remove it by my self since I have called and the was no action taken now I am sending you ( Telkom) this email as a proof that I have made means to communicate and alerting you know. My ERF number is 20740
No 3 Bishop Tutu street Makhaya Mandela Park.
This is my last attempt trying to let you know about the box if I will not get any respond from you than I will have to remove it my self.
Please find the attached pictures of the box.
Kind regards
Mr N Molefe
Desired outcome: The box to be removed as soon as possible
