Most of the reports point to the same source – a Telkom‑related call centre that keeps dialing and then goes silent. Callers often claim they’re following up on an online request for a contract, fibre upgrade or phone purchase, but they rarely stay on the line long enough to talk. If you didn’t expect a call, let it go to voicemail and verify the request by logging into your Telkom account or calling the official customer service number. Never hand over banking details or OTP codes to a stranger, especially when the conversation ends after a few seconds. When the call is just a silent call or a quick sales pitch, hanging up and blocking the number is usually the safest move.
Rang them back and got hung up on too. This is getting absurd!
Isicelo esiku-inthanethi sasiqondile, asikho isici esibi noma esihle.
They rang to pitch a phone deal which I agreed to. Still waiting on the device delivery.
I receive calls from them multiple times each day. The ringing never lasts long enough to pick up. They hang up prior to me answering. I've blocked the number.
Ukuthuthukiswa kwefoni kwe-TELKOM, eish.
Receiving these calls on both home and mobile lines, it's highly disruptive and bothersome. I'd appreciate identifying the caller, and if it's a business, they ought to face law enforcement reports. My spouse received a call on her mobile from this number, claiming an attempt to withdraw R16,000 from her bank and asking for ID verification to confirm account ownership. She mentioned she'd contact the bank directly, and they disconnected.

Indeed, no one said a word
Got a call from 012 944 6800 following my request for a callback via the Telkom site. A rep named Kolan contacted me, and later when I checked with Telkom, they had no record of my order. Worst of all, I handed over my bank info because I believed him from the official site.
Ngilinde ukuthi i-agent ye-Telkom ishaye ucingo mayelana nesicelo sesivumelwano, ngakho ucingo lwaluthule futhi lapho ngibuyela ucingo akuphenduli muntu.
i-Telkom
Contacted me after my online application for a phone contract. I requested a callback due to being occupied and await it still.
The person on the line was courteous, inquiring for a name I didn't recognize. I informed them of the wrong number, they said sorry and ended the call. I'm verifying this due to recent scam attempts I've experienced.
Ke-ringela khona kakhulu bese lenga
ngidinga ukuthi lowesifazane angishayele ukuphela ukuthengisa
ukuxwayisa!
Telemarketing from Telkom. No sound on line. Disconnects following 7 seconds.
Ja, I checked Telkom to upgrade to unlimited, that number rang and I applied online. Now I wanna cancel but they don't answer.
Pushing mobiles and internet
I-Telkom izama ukukuthengisela inkonzo yabo engelutho.
isikhungo sokushayela ucingo se-Telkom contract
Ngubani owayengumfazi onhlonipho owayefuna ukuthengisa i-fibre internet. Wabona ukuthi sinesixhobo se-fibre vele. Wangibonga ngesikhathi sami, yazi kuyajabulisa ukuthola abantu abaziyo izinto.
Rang multiple times but no one picked up
ITelkom iyabuza ukuthi ngifuna ukushintsha indlu yami yocingo lube yi-fiber
Le nombolo ishaye kaningi. Akekho emgca
Buyela ucingo ngokucela ukufudukela ku-Fibre
They've phoned me repeatedly; silence follows when I pick up
Extremely irritating; picked up initially and it was Telkom about my web inquiry. These days, every ring is silence on the line.
