Cell C is a **** and not complying with ICASA laws

I called Cell C call centre yesterday morning regarding the deduction of my daytime data instead of the night time data during night time hours when I connected to the internet and a case was lodged.

Pearl whom I consulted with at 06:32 when I noticed the problem confirmed that deductions should be made from my night time data between 01:00 am and 07:00 am.

I called again to report the persistence of the problem and asked for compensation of this data and as I was unsatisfied with the explanation given by Ntokozo that Cell can deduct from my daytime even during these nighttime data hours when deductions can only be made from the night time data on specific hours.

Today 5G of data disappeared from my contract sim in a similar way and they said they can only log a case on 7 March. May I add that I have been experiencing similar problems with my contract since it’s inception almost 2 years ago, paying monthly for data that I do not even get to use. Cell C refuses to cancel the contract while they are blatantly **********ly taking the very same data they are giving from clients, before they even use it.

The agent, Ntokozo asked me not to go public with this complaint and it is according to my perception that this is a problem they do not want people to be aware of, in order to benefit from their ******** conduct in terms of the ICASA provisions.

See attached pictures of my usage and times.

Reviewer Update
Cell C did call under the disguise that they are solving the issue but I told Lungile I’m not happy with her explanation nor resolution and she promised the social media team will call on the inconsistency of use as I had sent them pictures of the deductions they made. She alleged she could only teach 50MB of my data and reimbursed it but sent a document that explained the use of data on my modem that I can’t even read or make out. She further alleged I used my modem from the 1st of February which was not true, a consultant that I called before I posted this complaint confirmed that she can see from her system I started using the data after 9pm for a brief period and it disappeared the next day, even she said she logged a case on this and never got back to me. Cell C is a ****!!
