Can Telkom CallCentre hang up on you??

[Budza]

I'm trying to dispute my bill. Got Telkom to call me back on my cellphone.

The tool on the other end is deliberately misunderstanding me, and on top of that keeps contradicting themselves.

I asked not to be transferred, but they tried anyway. When they got to the please hold, I lost it and called her out on being useless

Anyway, I've gone into some kind of loop now, where the hold music comes then goes every few minutes. Not sure what the tool is doing...

Call has lasted 25min so far: I've plugged the phone in, and am tempted to just leave it to see how long I can keep Telkom paying for their uselessness.

I'm on CellC, so hopefully there's some MTR revenue in it for them, as an added bonus to costing Telkom

Will update when call ends to note duration. Leaving it until I have to leave this afternoon would be sweet.

You do know that you pay if you call from a mobile?

Don't have to pay for them calling me though?

Sterkte- I've got it.

I hope to keep this up all day.

I hope the bonehead is locked out of her phone, and can't achieve anything for the rest of the day- some report should show somewhere that she's done nothing all day. She'll probably be promoted though

Fscken hope so!

I have a charger at office, and a car adaptor too. Might try to keep this up for the whole weekend

/Any chance the whole 'This is Telkom Calling you back, please press 1 to accept' thing could count as a collect call? IE, I pay? This could backfire horribly...

[goofball]

I doubt it. They would have had to advise you.

And yes, they do hang up on you.

lol

Budza the maverick!

Update: Call was ended after 45min.

45min of MTR to CellC

Now I'll try again...
