Cell C ignores me, and I am sick of it.
Reported network issue in Jan 2021. Spent a week now sending emails (which only generate 'no reply' responses). Called the call centre, cut me off when transferring me to technical support. Phoned technical support myself, held on for 50 minutes. Sent 3 more emails, as prompted by the voice recording which played while I held on, and on...nobody has called me from Cell C. You take my debit order off, in full, every month, and offer me non existent coverage. I am battling to meet work requirements due to horrible connectivity, and you really. Don't. Care. At. All.

08 Apr 2021, 09:30I have completed your form to the best of my ability - I don't understand some of the questions, as they are technical/abbreviations. Perhaps if someone...anyone...from Cell C had called me, as promised on multiple emails from Cell C, we could have clarified all of the information required. I have emailed the completed form back to you.

08 Apr 2021, 15:26Please advise how soon I can expect feedback that
a) you have received the form, completed as per your request, and
b) feedback addressing my issue?
And please stop your system from sending me (3 this morning alone) sms's instructing me to follow the setting to select Vodacom on my phone. That's tantamount to abuse, so please stop. The sms's are grammatically incorrect, inappropriate, useless and irritating. As I have said before, I am not the idiot here.

HOW CAN YOU BE ASKING ME TO RATE THIS WHEN NOBODY HAS DONE ANYTHING TO RESOLVE MY D*MN ISSUE???? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

09 Apr 2021, 12:51Notification of a missed call from +***5 showed on my phone right now, about an hour after the call apparently was missed (11:43 am). I have had my phone with me all morning, it did not ring. I cannot call back as I HAVE NO CELL CONNECTION AGAIN. This is the story of my life, a constant battle to even make or receive a phone call. D*mn you to hell Cell C.

What. Is. Wrong. With. You?????????
You couldn't get rid of my by ignoring me, and you will not get rid of me by trying to drive me insane either, pretending that you have resolved this issue. I will fight to the death, yours or mine, it's up to you. I am counting down the days until I can lodge this complaint with ICASA.

THIS IS NOW TOO MUCH! I am currently on hold with a very nice young lady on the line, at the cell c call cntre. She agrees that she can see my numerous responses and replies, and requests for this issue to be resolved. I asked her to escalate the issue. She asked me to hold while she spoke to her team leader. I am still waiting for her to come back, I have been waiting for her to resume the call for 21 minutes, thus far. I am sitting here listening to the recorded music and voice. I cannot actually believe that cellc are this bad, because it all seems like a bad joke right now. Yesterday we has no Vodacom network coverage at all for most of the day, and it wasn't just me, others in town indicted on our community whatsapp group that Vodacom was down.
The call centre agent has come back to me at last, and tells me that her team leader syas there is nothing she can do. I HAVE TO WAIT FOR CELLC TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT TO PHONE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My name, the title of one of the e-mails, and my number.
She wanted to start the process of filling in the form (which I completed and emailed back to CellC on the 8th of April). So I forwarded her the relevant email with completed form attached. Now I am laughing and crying at the same time. AT LAST I GET A CALL FROM CELLC, AND THE AGENT HAS NO BACKGROUND INFO WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should pay me to do your jobs, at this rate. CellC, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
