A simple enquiry about optical benefits cannot be answered.

A simple enquiry of confirming optical benefits could not be resolved. Called the *** number and followed the voice prompts to confirm the benefit - The IVR system says I need to call between 08:00-17:00 Monday to Friday. Today is Tuesday and my call was made at 09:35.

I also tried the WhatsApp facility yesterday, each time you choose the option to speak to an agent the response is "Sorry, I did not understand the question..."

Nevertheless I tried speaking to a call centre agent to confirm the benefit and available network providers which could not be done either.

Requested to speak to a manager and, of course, they were all in a meeting and could not take my call.

Pathetic service to say the least!

Further, spoke to a general consultant named Phumza which logged an enquiry for a manager to call me back - This was around 09:38 , the time now is 15:06 and no manager has called back.

Called into the call centre again - Spoke to Wendy - Refuses to let me speak to a manager - also confirmed that all managers are in a meeting.

Absolutely horrific service !
