Telkom Mobile: 20GB for R199

It's great that Telkom is now being proactive about retaining their existing client base.
Telkom never used to be like this. When I cancelled my 8GB ADSL Data account with
them in 2011, they didn't even bat an eyelid or ask why I was cancelling.
 
24th month comes up in November 2013 when I go month to month and get to cancel anytime I want. Or get to go for another 24 months. I don't need LTE. Have multisim which saves me a lot of money. Month end is spent burning data on torrents I don't use.

I see myself doing another deal with what was once the devil. Wish they would sort out the ADSL must include Voice landline issue though.
 
Seems Telkom has a lot of spare capacity after hours. Just look at the uncapped after hours promo on their ADSL capped products.
 
Is Telkom Mobile the same as 8ta? I had the 10G for R199 which ended last month. I am now continuing on month to month basis. Is this available to me?

The only calls I got from Telkom regarding my contract is the offer for that R399 adsl month to month with free router.

Yes. 8ta is under Telkom, they just re-branded to Telkom Mobile.
 
This is awesome!! :love:

Just waiting for my call, then I'll sign for another 24 months. :D

10GB + 10GB for R199 = Best deal ever!!
 
Thanks to the Telkom Mobile rep I received a call to let me know that I am eligible for the upgrade. I missed that call but the guy left a very detailed voice mail.
Today a lady called me again to follow up. Very happy with that. She tells me that I qualify and as in the voice mail and all I need to do is call 081 1800. Which I did. I then get told to call 021 001 7700, tried this from a prepaid 8ta sim as well as my cell c number, both times I get the message that the number doesn't exist.
Called 180 from the 8ta sim and I get told I have to go into a store.
I then pm'd the Telkom Mobile rep and I assume this is the reason I got an sms telling me to call 081 180 to upgrade.
I call again and explain everything but again get told I have to go to a store.
I ended up going to the store and the guy assisting me has no clue about the deal, not his fault he obviously hasn't been informed. He even tried to check the system to see if he missed anything. I played my voice mail with all the details and he said he will follow up.
He was really trying to help though whereas everyone else I dealt with besides the Telkom Mobile rep seemed completely uninterested.

Hopefully it gets sorted soon. The guy in the store seems as though he'll follow it through though.

Has anyone successfully activated this deal? If so, through which channel?
 
Mine ends at the beginning of December. Hopefully the carrot will still be dangling then.

As much as I don't like 2 year contracts, I'm happy I signed this one and I'm happy to sign again.

You never know what happens in 2 years but in this case, it's only now that Afrihost has come up with something to compete with 8ta. And unfortunately it's still not an option due to bad signal in my area. So as long as 8ta carries on like its been going for the past 2 years, I'll be very happy.
 
This is great if you've got good reception. Great product and still very good value 2 years in.
