Hi. My name is Mpho Makgobathe. I have a cell phone contract with Cell C as well as cell phone insurance (Cell C Financial Services). About two months back l was hijacked and my phone was taken with. I've submitted a claim with Cell C before even Lockdown started. Then l was told to pay R4700 as access, which l did. Was told that l'll get my new phone (Samsung Note10 Plus) within 5 to 7 workingdays. Still today almost 2 months, l'm still waiting to receive my phone. Everytime l call l'm told to wait for 5 to 7 working days, the phone will be delivered at Cell C Wonderpark. The other day when l called l was told about the Lockdown therefore my phone will be delivered to my Residencial address, it never happened. After 7 days l called again l was then told they don't have the phone in store, therefore to wait another 7 working days. I called again after the said days, once more same story..The past Friday l called again, then the lady told me to hold the line after 15 minutes on the line she told me she'll trace the whereabouts of my phone then she'll give me a call. She never called. Today 11-05-2020 l called again, then l spoke to the lady by the name of Kamo. She gave me same story and that they've send an email to the relevant department but unfortunately they're still waiting for the tracking number. They can't even tell me how long is it going to take them to receive that tracking number. I asked the lady to put me through the manager but she told me that the manager is busy with in a meeting. After 2 hours l called again for the manager, spoke to another lady by the name of Zanele and told me that the manager is in a meeting. Not sure whether is the meeting or not; or is simply ignoring me. Their contact details are ***. I'm desperately in need of your help, please. I'm currently paying about R1300 for something l do not have. My contact details are *** email: ***. regards.

Good evening Hello Peter
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for your help regarding my complain against Cell C. It is with great pleasure to inform you that today around 16:00 l received a call from Cell C Wonderpark that my phone has been delivered. Please continue with the good work you're doing to help the society out there, it really means a means a lot. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

To Cell C, unfortunately l don't have any good words to say to you. It's totally unacceptable that customers like me, who pays thousands of rands to your company, to have to go through this awful experience...l'm paying R1348 every month. That's lot of money for me to go through this kind of treatment. So far l've paid R2696 for two month without my phone. Are you guys going to compensate me somehow? I hope so. I honestly wouldn't recommend anyone to you guys. Your service to your customers is so horrible????.
