Dissatisfactory Service During Cell C Sim Swap

I Had a very bad experience with Cell C. After I had upgraded having lost my sim card. I then wanted to do a sim swap, I tried it several times online and I failed. They asked me the 5 questions and I answered correctly but they said i didn't. After several attempts no cell c consultant could come to my assistance. Their suggestion was that i should go to their store even though i explained that there don't have any shops in my area of residence. The nearest one is in uMhlanga, which is a 170km away from Margate. I was then advised that they have a cell c store in East London (Hemmingways) which is 240km a single journey. I then travelled there and was assisted within 2 minutes. I will recommend anyone to take cell c as service provider.

Reviewer Update
I’m am very disappointed that you have misread my text. I had explained that I had done the sim swap within a minute after having travelled and spent money. Now you are at last asking me to provide you with information that will not be of any use as I already have a sim swapped. I recommend that the consultants assisting be subjected to further capacity building workshops in order to assist the customer’s needs.
