Need to phone stoopid telkom 10210 number, and know they'll want me to enter
various codes, numbers, etc., and there's pretty much no way can handle that
using touch screen dial pad on my samsung S5, since it always seems to tell me
I'm taking too long what with having to find the relevant dial pad number, etc.
etc., but, was now just testing making a land-line call using skype - had to
purchase a bit of credit, using my paypal account, but, fact is you can dial
number using your PC's numpad, and then respond to voice prompts using it as
well.

So, while seems telkom's number - +2710210 via skype - is currently in
non-answer mode, think this is something will definitely be keeping in mind for
future phone calls to these rather irritating call centres.

Stay well
