Really annoyed buying airtime

[RichardG]

I am sick and tired of purchasing airtime for Telkom Mobile / 8ta cause every time the cashier is given me Telkom landline airtime which is really annoying . Happen more than once at numerous outlets . Once I purchased Telkom Mobile airtime from Takealot only to be assigned Telkom Landline vouchers.. Seriously get your act together Telkom and make it more simplified for people to redeem the airtime from Telkom landline...

do it online?

I have lte and also a seperate 8ta sim.

If you are connected to the internet with the sim then just login and buy the airtime like that.
Or through your bank, buy airtime and convert to data on the telkom site, fairly quick, not painless, but not the worst by far.

I just buy mine at Pick & Pay. Get points on Smartshopper.

Always ask for TELKOM MOBILE ... When I get given the voucher I check if it says "TELKM" and the code to add is 188.

Dont ask for 8ta as it confuses the cashiers

Buy the airtime then add it on your phone while you are in the shop, if it doesnt work speak to a manager and get the right one.

Good point with the smartphopper card I totally forget the power of that thing.

Being a Capitec account holder I don't have usave and ebucks and that stuff

Still there is confusion along the line.. I always ask for Telkom Mobile and the person who is helping me is clueless how to operate the POS on occasions and get Telkom landline instead of Telkom Mobile. The naming on their POS could possibly still be under 8ta, huge confusion.

Thats is why you check for the "TELKM" on the voucher. If it does not say it, dont accept it.

Apparently you can use the mobile voucher for a landline. I found out yesterday when recharging there was the message.

What is annoying is that I needed to put in the waya waya annual fee and I had the R100 takealot voucher that was sent to a colleague and takealot only had telkom mobile vouchers for sale. Which would have worked.
