How Telkom spoilt my holiday

Last year this time we stayed at home so this year we will go on holiday.

Normally there is always someone to answer the phone - I work from home and it can get busy this time of the year.

Last week we contacted Telkom to divert calls from incoming lines to my cellphone - All seemed fine.

Today I got a call from Telkom .... mmmmmm

"Ah Sirr, we can activate your request, but there is a problem " ..... mmmm

Your account is due on the 17th so we demand payment otherwise we cannot activate this service.

I explained politely to the dear lady that for some 12 plus years we have always payed our bill on 25th to 28th of the month.
12 years - hardly a hiccup - and I am talking about R2000.00 - R3000.00 per month for two business lines - home lines are extra.

"No Sir, sorry these are my instructions". .... <b>Unbelievable</b> !

Well Telkom you can stick your cables up where you know best, you will not blackmail me I and will do without your service. [!][!]

Of course you will get your monthly cheque - but if I had a choice this cheque would not be yours ............ DAMNNNNN [!][!][!]

Unbelievable! And the most frustrating part of it all, it's like talking to a brick wall. These people are <b>thick</b>!
