Complaint Regarding Service and SIM Card Issue

Dear Cell C Customer Service,

I am writing to formally express my disappointment and frustration with the service I received on Friday 08 November 2024., regarding my Cell C SIM card.

On that day, my phone suddenly stopped working, and I was unable to make or receive calls. This was extremely distressing, as I was dealing with a family emergency and urgently needed to use my phone. I called your head office for assistance and spoke to a representative named Mduduzi, who informed me that there was “nothing he could do” and that I would need to visit a Cell C branch to re-register my SIM card.

I do not understand why re-registration was required, as I have been using this same SIM card with Cell C for over eight years without any issues. When I asked for further assistance, I requested to speak with a supervisor or manager to address the issue. Mduduzi was unhelpful, and eventually, he stopped speaking altogether, effectively forcing me to end the call without any resolution.i had to stay the whole weekend without a phone that was not working.

This lack of support was unacceptable, especially during a critical time for me. I am requesting that Cell C take the following steps: 1. Provide a clear explanation of why my SIM card required re-registration after years of use. 2. Investigate the conduct of the representative I spoke to, to ensure that customer care is prioritized during all interactions.

Sincerely, Sarah Mashifane ***
