New Telkom smartphone SIM-only contract prices

On face value it looks like a reasonable deal, but a very important missing piece of info is if it is per second billing or per minute. This can drastically affect the real cost per call since many calls are just a few seconds...
 
Wish they would bloody well update their website. :mad: You still have the June brochure on there Telkom!

These deals aren't great IMO. I am currently paying R269 for 100 minutes with 5GB data + Smartphone (old TM Smartplan 100 deals). I want more data and less sms & minutes .

I was going to start a thread complaining about them not updating their site. This happens every month, Telkom isnt interested in updating their site or getting their shyt together.

It is so embarrassing to still have the june 15th brochure on their site and none of their ads are on guzzle.
 
Have they fixed their stock problem? I tried to move to them when my Vodascum contract was up for renewal, they couldn't get stock of the phone I wanted, so I ended waiting 3 months for nothing...

Edit: I see sim only, my bad.

From their current T's&C's:
All local and national voice services on SmartPlan 50,100 and 150 packages shall be billed on a per-minute billing methodology.
All local and national voice services on SmartPlan 250,375 and 500 packages shall be billed on a per-second billing methodology.

Has anyone signed up for these contracts? Is this a hoax? The telkom store near me had no idea what I was talking about when I checked with them. I called the Telkom Mobile customer line (081 180), and the consultant there also hasn't heard about these new packages. She asked me to call 10213, which I did. I wiated over 30 minutes on the line, then just hung up. There's also no information on the Telkom website.

Mybroadband, please follow up.
 
this was my experience too.
even now, nothing on their website & a week ago, the person at the store knew nothing of this deal.

Probably the best value for money offering on the market. Problem is their network is terrible.

So for now, I'll continue to be shafted by Vodacom. I have however cancelled all my contracts with them and will remain on prepaid.

If you dont have tekkom signal it roams on mtn
 
I have the smartplan 250 with per second billing with the iphone 6plus and am happy with it, sure it roams to mtn where theres no TM signal, have found voice quality better on TM.
