The Telkom Please Call me feature and Telkom mobile network call back messages will be explained in this post for your convenience. Over 10 million South Africans use Telkom’s phone, SMS, and data services, making it the country’s biggest telecommunications operator.
What is a Telkom Please Call Me?
A USSD code may be used to send a free message to someone else, which asks them to call back on the number from where the message was sent, through Telkom’s Please Call Me service. There is no need for an internet connection to send them. Telkom offers a variety of USSD codes, some of which are referred to as “quick codes,” “feature codes,” or “service request.”
How to send a Please Call Me message
- In order to make a Telkom call back, dial the phone number / Telkom USSD – *140* the receiver’s phone number #” (without the spaces) and then click send.
- A limited amount of characters are available for editing or customizing the “Please Call Me” wording.
- A confirmation message will be sent to you as soon as you send the “please call me” message.
Other USSD Codes
Other service enquiry USSD codes from Telkom, in addition to the call-back message, may be relevant to you. The following are some of the most popular:
