Hey guys
I've been getting calls from 012 688 9996. I decided to answer and a lady on the other end told me she was phoning from Telkom, asked me if I was who her system said I was, then proceeded to inform me the call is recorded.
Then she started her spiel about how I am a customer who has been complaining about outages in my area (the last time I did complain I was technically an Axxess customer) and how Telkom wants to give me a free mobile Wifi router with a free sim (I guess) that will allow me to remain online during the dark days / moments, for free. Gratis.
Of course if Telkom changes this "special offer" (free?) next year then I will get more added benefits, but she did not specify if these would be free. Normally this would sound completely bogus to me, except I am a paying customer of Telkom, and lord knows my monthly bill makes me feel I should be getting something free.
So is this legit, and what is the (inevitable) catch?
