1. Advertisements state free CLIP but I was charged.
2. There's supposed to be free SIM and connection but I was charged "Wireless Activation Fee OC - R400.00".
3. The pro-data system is split over 2 components, which doesn't help. This was never disclosed to me or I would have simply gone back beginning Feb.
4. All-net data, for roaming on MTN, has been silently downgraded from 300MB pm to 150MB pm. I feel somewhat cheated.

I was overcharged R1,000 a few days ago due to 1-3 and had to log a case this morning.

Got my phones on 25 Jan and first used on 26 Jan, yet I was charged for the WHOLE of Jan and Feb, with the invoice payable end of Feb.

CASE # 7607651.

This is the Telkom Mobile section, so that be the network. SmartPlan is one of their products.
 
Can a Mod please move this to the cellular section? My bad. :(

Hi Azimuth

We have requested the Billing Department to look into the matter and feedback will be provided.

Telkom Mobile
 
This is The reason telkom mobile & mtn will never be on my shopping list. Everything takes ages to be resolved and only if you go public.
 
In fairness to Telkom Mobile though, I've received a LOT more support and better customer service. With the exception of the VC rep on mybb, who organised a credit on my overcharged data contract, VC support is like hitting a brick wall.
