Expert Opinion

Strangely enough, the sheer volume of dead‑air calls points to an automated silent outreach that many users link to Telkom. Callers never speak, and callbacks simply trigger another ring‑and‑drop. This pattern matches a common telemarketing dial‑out where the system tests active numbers before a live agent attempts a sale. To protect yourself, flag the number in your phone, enable carrier‑level call‑barring for unknown callers, and verify any Telkom offers directly through the official website or app before responding. Avoid returning the call unless you’ve initiated contact through a trusted channel; otherwise you may just feed the auto‑dialer loop.
