Ons het die selle storie hier as 'n riemtelegram gekry.
Telkom se engelse persverklaring is as volg
(Gloudina, moet dit tog nie lees want dis in engels):
Belangrike Kennisgewing: Telkom kostes (10-Okt-2002)
Telkom Persverklaring:
"9 October 2002
No extra costs for not using 10-digit dialing
Telkom has reassured its customers that no extra costs are levied for
either using or not using the 10-digit dialing system for calls within local
exchange areas.
This follows an influx of queries in this regard, mainly stemming from
damaging and false-mail messages that are being sent and forwarded between
local companies and individuals.
The latest rumour is that Telkom is charging an additional 77 or 75
cents per call if a person phones a landline call without using the area
code first.
''This is totally incorrect," said Telkom's Managing Executive for
Consumer Sales and Marketing Thami Magazi. ''A local call is any call within
a 50 kilometer radius and the call charge is the same regardless of whether
the user has dialed the area prefix or not."
The planned introduction of 10-digit dialing for fixed-line
telecommunications users by the Independent Communications Authority of
South Africa (ICASA) has fuelled a number of urban myths regarding its cost
and the timing of its introduction.
Magazi explained that Telkom was running the 10-digit dialing system
in parallel to the seven-digit dialing system, following an announcement by
ICASA in April 2002 that the implementation of the 10-digit dialing system
would be postponed for six months after regulations had been promulgated.
"Only once the regulations have been promulgated will we have a firm
date for the implementation of 10-digit dialing. Until then, Telkom will
continue to run both systems in parallel so our customers can become
accustomed to dialing the three-digit prefix ahead of the seven-digit number
for all local calls to fixed-line numbers," said Magazi. He reiterated that
no additional charges are levied for using or not using the three-digit
prefix.
The national 10-digit dialing system is part of ICASA's numbering
plan, and once implemented, it will increase number capacity especially in
the metropolitan areas and bring fixed-line dialing in line with the
10-digit standard used by mobile operators. "
So dis die prentjie: Niemand weet nog regtig van wanneer af dit sal
geld nie!

Die redes vir die gebruik van die 10 syfer belkode is nog vaag. Dit wil
voorkom of daar geen logiese rede buiten winsbejag is om die stelsel te
gebruik nie.
Die stelsel werk heel lekker op die oomblik (miskien is daar mense op die NG
wat wel probleme met die 7 syfer bel opsie het - laat hoor asseblief),
hoekom nou peuter met die stelsel? Dit wil vir my voorkom of daar net een
party in die verhouding is wat die 10 syfer stelsel wil hê en dit is TELKOM.
Die vraag is hoekom? Ek kan redelik seker sê dat dit nie is om gebruikers
koste te bespaar of moeite te ontsien nie.

Verkeerd, oom Gert, dit gaan nie oor winsbejag nie en Telkom soek
dit ook nie. Die rede is al 'n paar keer in die media gerapporteer, dis
Icasa (Independent Communications Authority of South Africa) wat
dit voorskryf. Klaarblyklik iets te doen met die situasie wanneer
daar ook ander diensverskaffers as Telkom is.
Dalk moet jy oorweeg om as "Ek haat Icasa" te skryf?'
