Our official and registered TLF GSM line is a 9mobile number.
We have had no service for almost 3 weeks now.
We went to the 9mobile Office and made a formal complaint and we were received.
Therefore, in the interim we want to plead with us all to reach TLF through WhatsApp only on that number. Alternatively, we are urged to follow us and join our other online handles, platforms and media.
Thank you.
TLF 💚
