A bit about Telkom landlines
Landlines have taken something of a backbench as the whole world moves to mobile. Fortunately, the expected bloodbath has turned out to be only a mirage. Landline use is still growing in South Africa and elsewhere. This mainly has to do with the fact that it’s cheaper to make a call to and from a landline.
Landlines are also reliable. Copper has been around for a bit and it is tried and tested. And if you are looking for internet, you can always have ADSL, which offers more than decent speeds. Anyway, that’s how to check your balance on Telkom prepaid landlines. You may also want to read on how to check balance on Telkom mobile. Also look up our article on how to port to Telkom.

then steadily increased to 400 – 500
suddenly it is now touching almost R700 within a time span of a month!

i will sincerely appreciate your urgent response – thank you kindly
