“Regrettably, their contract has no cooling-off period. A few days after I signed the LTE contract, I experienced poor network coverage. The internet buffers a lot, despite their marketing claims of high speed. I regret signing the contract with Telkom.”
“am highly disappointed with Telkom. On Tuesday, I called them to blacklist my phone, only to find out that it was not fully blacklisted. Then, on Wednesday, I went to their branch at Kayalami, and when we tried to call them, the lady I was speaking to closed the line. Later, when I went home, I found out that my own phone is not registered under my name, and my sister needed to call, which was a shock. On Thursday, when my sister called in the morning, she was informed that I am the account holder. At this point, the 48 hours for reporting my phone have elapsed, and the worst part is that I don't have an ITC number, as I was told it would take another 24 hours to obtain it. Can I kindly ask as your customer, is this fair?”
“Telkom has the worst customer service in Canalwalk in Cape Town as well as Blue route mall in Tokai Cape Town.
Arrogant consultants sitting behind laptops treated me like I am a nobody.
I will be canceling my month to month contact and take out one with MTN who offers friendly and amazing customer service.
I will expose Telkom to everyone and not encourage them to take out any telkom deals. I gave 1 star as it gave me no option but I would have preferred to give zero times 10.
You have the worst Arrogant and incompetent staff that I have ever come across.”
“I begging people Telkom, bunch of theives
The worst service you will get if you ever join or take up any product with them
They been charging me for a fiber Ling which I cancelled 11 months ago and made me wait that whole period to get funds back
It's been a painful journey with them and to add to there top of the range fiber lines with always unstable
Try rather Afrihost I insist
Take my work for it they suck”
“I am extremely disappointed with Telkom's service. I applied for fiber service 40 days ago and still do not have an active account. Despite numerous emails and phone calls, they only delivered the modem three days ago. However, the connection is still not active because they have yet to activate the account. This is the worst service I have ever experienced. I expected better from Telkom, and this situation is entirely unacceptable.”
“I bought airtime twice 2 hours ago, I needed to make an urgent phone call, till now they have not been loaded and I am unable to make the call.
Very frustrating”
“Telkom is so fraudulent
They bill me a 1000 extra for a 300 bill...
I am so so angry at myself for connecting with them. After I knew a lot of people are complaining about them. Why don't you just close down.. I hope someone sees my review.
AND PLEASE PEOPLE BE AWARE TELKOM IS SKELM!!!!!”
“Well last year I would have given a 5star but this year Telkom internet is terrible I can't even study online or complete my applications for jobs my data gets finished with out me using it I'm thinking of changing my network”
“Im very disappointed with the service. I started a claim process in March, till date no phone. I get conflicting feedback from different agents. Abiut 2 weeks ago I was told that stock is available and will be delivered in 7 - 14 working days. Today I'm told that they still have to order the device. I have even lost any hope that I will ever get my device.”
“I am very frustrated with Telkom's service. Repeated attempts to call often result in offline systems, and when I finally get through, I'm asked to send an email that bounces back. It's extremely frustrating to pay for a service that doesn't work. Customer service is practically non-existent, making it impossible to resolve issues.”
“Cellphone setting was changed to private and could not change it back. Logged a call in APRIL 2024 and went to store. Problem was not resolved and the store referred it. Made an enquire today and now they want to log a new call, apparently somebody will phone back in 72 hours. How is that for "service"?”
“This company a massive scam I sent my phone which is under contract by them for repairs,yet 3 months later I still don't have my phone
I wouldn't recommend this company at all”
“@telkom wonderpark by Dischem side always I mean always have bad service. You'll be 3 in the shop but que for an hour while you have 7 staff in the shop but only 1 working and others sitting down and on their phones”
“Telkom debited my account in May; they claim payment bounced. I sent them statements and went to the bank to verify.
No payment bounced. They have locked my account. I have spoken to more than 3 consultants who have not gotten back to me. It's frustrating and they do not care.
No one responds to emails. Their branches cannot even help,
DON'T take a contract with them. Unprofessional..”
“My network is been bad for past 1 years and worst in the past 2 month I can't even watch my TV box yet I'm paying for my contact when I got to the branch they say the tower is off line. The worst network and service ever”
“I have cancelled my contract with Telkom because of their poor services. Last month I was debited twice and I am still waiting for my refund. They made a mistake to debit me twice yet they said I shouldn’t reverse my debit order.
Telkom is now like a scam. It is easy for them to charge us a penalty for late payment yet they can’t even refund us when they have made a mistake for debiting us twice in a month. This is not acceptable.”
“Telkom and there branches are Fraudsters. They have opened up an account using my details for another customer. I have been trying to get help with this issue for days now. Installing a fibre line using my details . Now this person decided not to pay anyone and now I'm sitting with a big bill and have been handed over to attorneys. Been trying to ask which Branch this account was opened and by whom and by which employee. They cannot assist. So yes Telkom 🙌 👏 I decided to contact my lawyer and take them to court for Fraud. Bunch of retards and pathetic staff they employ.”
“Telkom is a company with no ethics ..nor customer care ..pathetic ..I've had a contract with them 3 years ...months later it's over canceled etc ..but they still debit me for services I no longer use after calls upon calls to the bank and telkom I feel like it's talking to bricks...please be weary of TELKOM THEY ARE AS GOOD AS SCAMERS”
