Telkom Fixed line Look Alike - Forward Call Issues!

[Anelle van Buuren]

I have been struggling for a week now to get through to ANYONE in Telkom who can tell me what the activation and deactivation codes are for forward call on the Telkom landline look alike system. I have tried everything I could find online (#21#, #22#, ##22#, ##21#) but it simply doesn't work.
Is there anyone out there that can help me please? I'm desperate and Telkom's service SUCKS!

bump. Im being forced to get one of these because telkom cant or wont fix a cable nearby. its taken more than 6 weeks and Im still waiting. and I have the (now ex) landline diverted to my cell.

gee, who woulda thunk it, telkom cant even get their own tech right.

on the line with telkom right now. and unless the guy Im talking to is a complete idiot, I have been told by tech support that each time I need to forward or unforward the number I have to phone telkom. &*&^&&*()&*(&^56edty98A*I&CD$^S&X@XAT&*W

scratch that. it gets even dumber. I have to entirely cancel with telkom the option to forward/unforward the phone, and yes, stop paying for it. then re-enable the option to forward/unforward, and yes start paying for it again.

mediocrity, the watchword of south african telecommunications. whats the bet the telkom rep on this forum wont say a word

fast forward sever al days. and guess what. the morons at telkom are still struggling to sort this mess out. but apparently someone with a "brain" will sort it out. c'mon fibre! need you in my hood so I can dump these fools and hasten the demise of a once proud institution.

and to the OP, sorry for hijacking your thread
