Cell C won't fix its own mistake

My frustration levels with Cell C are extremely high as they have no inclination to solve my problem. I took a package two months ago that included 1000 free wifi calling minutes. The branch did not activate this feature on the VAS (value added system) so I have been charged for these minutes the last two months. I have been into the branch 3 times to try reciify it but their hands are tied despite trying their best. The fix has to be done by head office but on the phone head office just keeps blaming the branch but don't sort the problem - it's a package they offered yet keep pointing fingers - no rocket science there. The branch has tried its best but has to email the problem to head office to rectify but they just do nothing. No response to emails and no solution for me- and I keep getting charged for usage I should not be charged for. I have not even pursued trying to get a refund yet. That will take another few months. Cell C simply has no respect for its clients or their time.

Moses could not get hold of you on your contact numbers. However, he sent an email advising you of this and requested for an alternative number where he can get hold you and assist.

Please respond to his email and he will gladly assist.

Ok so two days later and the problem has not been resolved - in fact I have not even been able to speak to anyone that can deal with the issue. Moses has tried to contact me once a day (for two days) and when he can't get me he does not try again. Yesterday he said he would get back to me a second time and he did not. I called customer care who said they would email him to contact me again before the end of the day but he did not. I also gave an alternative number to call. There needs to be a real commitment to solving the problem - I don't see it and have now provisionally cancelled the contract until this gets sorted. Really not great customer service.

Hello Moses. I was promised a solution by Monday latest once your IT guys had had time to activate the VAS as should have been done in the first place. I am still waiting.... 6 days later and more than 3 weeks after I first tried to have to problem rectified at the branch.
