Customer service sucks

Cell C customer service is sucking , i have been using this number for more than 5 years , and did SIM swap on it , i did my self service pin as well .Now on Sunday 3 November 2019 my SIM card got damaged and I called customer service .

They asked me this ridulous questions and I answered them to the best of my ability ,no one plans to perform SIM swap so I can not memorize everything. All they told me was the the answers are incorrect. I called about 5 times

Then somebody advise I should go to the branch and perform the simswap there . Upon arriving at the branch i was told that the SIM is not ricard under my name ,And I explained that we buy these SIM from spas shop and its not our problem that they are already ricard . Cell C has to make sure that not us. They asked me to go and make affidavit that the SIM.belongs to me of which I did.they perform SIM swap

Now today I called customer service for self service Pin .to my surprise I was not assisted .i was told to go back to the branch and create a self service pin . Because apparently I failed the questions . I then explained how I got the SIM and I just did simswap recently. The refused to help me I was told to buy airtime and use the SIM. Already I buy 1gig everymonth for whatsapp and that is not enough. So which means should I have any challenge on this SIM I won't be assisted ?

I am so ****ed of.woth Cell C. When we buy airtime they don't ask all these stupid questions . Then they have ordeaity to tell me how should I use my simcard. Its better to go to another network period

Hi Ruth 

Please note that we've put in place a security check verification process to protect you from possible *****. A SIM swap can only be processed once the security questions have been answered correctly. We will look into your query and provide the necessary assistance.

Reviewer Update
You need to be consistent ,I have performed SIM swap on this card, and I was asked for my ID number ,name and surname .nobody told me that the SIM is ricard under somebody else 's name .instead the SIM swap was performed. So my question is what changed now ?
Why they did not tell me that the reason they not doing SIM swap is because the SIM is not ricard in my name .

If nobody tells me ,which means I will be sitting with this challenge forever.

Why can't somebody advising me to go to the branch to update ID .since I gave them correct information except that one of ID .
Rather telling me ,I should buy airtime and use the card,will buying airtime change the sim to be on my Name ?

It's good that you have security measures but be consitant,and tackle every case on its merits. For 5 years using this number,very time I called I gave my name and ID and names and I will be assisted .So why Now??
