Let me start it this way. Some people do not have credit cards and are forced to do things other ways. I for one have been waiting for months now for telkom to get stock of either the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360, week in and week out they tell me they will be getting stock soon. Last week they told me that this week is the due date for the stock. Now I get a brochure in the mail stating that they have got these bundles now but you have to take out a new telkom line with adsl... I HAVE 2 LINES with telkom on the highest level. Now I will only qualify if I go with their bundle for R500 p/m which is very unfair.

Its not the bundle that bothers me, its the fact that telkom has been telling current clients they will be able to get the machines this week but now we do not qualify.:confused:

I really am disappointed with the whole situation because I have been planning my finances for this day but now I guess I will have to try and save which is not easy in todays times for us normal people who dont really have the high ranking salaries.:mad:
 
Get and Xbox or PS3 on credit from Game or Dion Wired. With Telkom you are tied down to 36 months contracts.

Rubbish. Telkom give you an option of 6mts,12mth,18mth,24mth,30mths & 36mths.

Also you need to pay "insurance" with these guys. Telkom only ads normal interest. A R4400 purchase over 36mths is R5800 with Telkom, with Game/DW you would pay R9K over 36mths (I use to be in the furniture trade and the load those fees). Also Game/DW use RCS and not their own inhouse credit bureau.


2nd Rubbish in Telkom Directs pants, you do not need a new line. Anybody with a good Telkom credit record can get this if your an existing client as its added to your account.

(I've also taken my PS3 on my Telkom account and a few friends constantly purchase stuff like this from Telkom).

3rd Rubbish...the latest console deals from Telkom are 36 months contracts.

4th Rubbish...You don't take consoles on 36 months payment plans from Game.

5th Rubbish...If you find their interest and insurance too high then just get the console from Edgars, CNA or Woolworths on their credit card.
