Cell C worst customer service

So I lost my sim card a few weeks ago and I have been trying to get a sim swap done, but I seem to be getting the information incorrect and the sim card I was using is registered in someone else's name, however I been using the sim card for over 5 years,so when I spoke to a rep at the call centre I was advised to do an affidavit and go to the nearest cell c store, which is what I did however I was turned down, I then spoke to a team leader by the name of Mthokosizi when I called again and he advised me that the branch can definitely help me if I have an affidavit, so again I went to a branch and then spoke to a manager by the name of Magdalene at Gateway and she turned me down, I asked for a way to escalate the matter and she gave me a bogus number for the KZN head offices which just rings and rings, so now I am stuck because I used that number for a number of important things such as business and banking but now I have to go through the admin of changing my number because everyone refuses to help.

Good morning Siyabonga

We do apologies for the manner in which the matter was handled.

Unfortunately, due to security reasons, if the sim card is not registered under your ID number, we are unable to process the Sim swap telephonically.

Kindly advise on the store you went to in order for us to liaise with them to ensure that the Sim swap is processed.

Regards
