Bad customer service!

I bought a cellphone on the 24th June 2021 in less than a month, after charging it, when i removed the charger from the device it came out with the charging port which i think a manufacture fault. I took the phone back to the store on the 15th July 2021 and was told they need to take the phone for repairs and it was told it might take 3-4 months. I was also notified that i might have to pay for the device to be fixed as it might be a physical damage but i should wait for the call from the repairers. I was not happy with the outcome of returning the device so i called the customer complaints line on the 26th July 2021 and logged a complain as to why should i wait 3-4 months to get a replacement when i just bought it, i urgently needed a phone when i bought this device so now i must wait for months to get a new phone!!! And again why should i be paying for repairs on a brand new phone! From the customer complaints line i was told i would receive a call with the outcome of the investigation within 2-3days, till today no one has called me back! instead im the one who keeps phoning to make follow ups but i still get told someone will call me who deals with that department but no one ever does!! its either i get a new phone or a refund so i can take my services somewhere else!!!

Good day,
I haven't been assisted to my satisfaction, did receive a call on the 12th of Aug, and i was told that my device has been replaced and its in transit and should be receiving it by Mon the 16th of Aug. On Monday i called the store and was told it hasn't arrived. Today is Wed the 18th Aug and i haven't received any call from the store so i decided to call and make a follow up, now im being told i can come to the store and get a new phone since the store has been credited. I asked the store manager how was i gonna know all this information coz no one phoned me. Now i wanna know which phone was in transit all along?? Had i not phoned the store how was i gonna know the outcome of my enquiry.
