How do rumors begin
Yesterday I went to the STEG to pay the electricity bill, where aside from the electricity, gas and taxes, you must pay a fee for the Television for the awful programs they show! It was full and there were 2 queues as 2 cashiers were available, but everything was ok, as it was organized; the service was a bit slow, well, we can forgive that: there was a panel where is written that they are sorry because the are alpha testing a new software, never mind.
What made the waiting uncomfortable, was what were saying the people there: “At the first cashier they accept checks … No, I think they do accept cash, you can only pay check at the second … Why don’t they tell us … They should inform people first … Bad service, as usual … Now what shall I do, if after 15 minutes I have to take the other queue … They think people have nothing to do …”
Well, I waited for my turn, then the employee smiled (yes, she did) and said: “Good morning sir”; I asked whether they accept cash or check, she told: “Both!”
For once, I will thank “bureaucrats” for the excellent service they did, as I haven’t lost too much time. However, I started to wonder who was the evil, and how do rumors begin…

Pourquoi tu ne paies pas en ligne sur le site de Tunisie Telecom. Et tu n’as plus besoin d’avoir cette foutue carte e-dinar. Tu peux le faire avec ta carte de crédit si tu en as une. Ca t’aurait évité la queue, les odeurs, la mauvaise humeur et ramadan.

en fait pour les factures (sonede, steg, TT) le paiement se fait en ligne sur le site : http://www.fatouranet.poste.tn/
sur le site de Tunisie Télécom, tu peux payer tes différentes factures de téléphonie mais aussi acheter des cartes de recharge.
le tout est possible avec une carte de crédit.

I simply don’t trust!
If I consider myself able to spy on somebody’s confidential data, I might be the next victim

je te comprends. la confiance dans le système est fondamentale.
cela dit, peu de gens ici ont des compétences pour hacker ta transaction, encore faut-il qu’ils tombent sur la tienne.
et puis j’ai un ami qui fait ça depuis le début et il n’a eu aucun pb.

I’m still discouraged; need to make sure first that it’s a reliable way. It could take some time.
Thanks anyway for the information.
Cheers!

typical tunisian behaviour ! at least in your case, it was not that bad, it could have been a rumour like ‘closing down in 5min’ ….

Online payment reliable ? I dunno but “they” may oblige everyone to pay its bills by Internet as they did for students for subscriptions this year.
But it is not for the near future.
