Your first bill explained
Please note that your first bill from Telkom may be different from those you receive thereafter. This is because there may be an installation charge, and the subscription for services is payable one month in advance. Your bill will therefore include one full month and a pro-rated amount for the month in which you joined.
How do you want to receive your bill?
Email billing is the most convenient and environmentally friendly way for you to receive your monthly statement. Your account can be linked to an email address of your choice when you register at www.telkom.co.za/emailmemybill. You can also view your bill online by registering at www.telkom.co.za/sites/athome/helpandsupport/aboutmybill/
