International banking helpline useless

<p>I am currently on businnes in Lagos, Nigeria. I am an South African with a ABSA bank account. Being in Nigeria it is impossible to load a new beneficiary onto my internet bank account due to my South African cell phone number not working over here and I can not confirm the transactions I'm trying to do. I have now been calling the international helpline for two weeks, they promised every time that I will be able to confirm the transactions either via my Nigerian cell number or by my email........this is just promises from ABSA staff and not true, nothing ever gets done on their side. I have spent a lot of money on international phone calls to South Africa to absolutely no avail. I am disgusted with this service !!!!!</p>
