Failure to Blacklist Iphone 13

Cell C has taken well over two weeks to blacklist my phone after I had reported that it was lost /******. Both their stores in Rosebank and Sandton have not been helpful and the customer centre has been worse. After a week of delay, one of the managers who finally assisted me ended up blacklisting the wrong phone. Two weeks later, I am still not assisted and they have not provided me with the ITC number for my phone, which is required for insurance purposes and to ensure that those who took my phone do not benefit from it. Cell C constantly claims to have "escalated" the matter, but no success has been yield from this. I am extremely frustrated and this has had a negative bearing on my mental health.

Interestingly, the phone which Cell C mistakenly blacklisted is currently still working. The call centre agents have been incredibly rude and I have suffered similar fate upon my numerous visits to the stores.

Good day,

Thank you. But you have been investigating this since 22 Jan 2022. Katleho, a manager at your joburg team had to assist until he eventually blacklisted the wrong phone and we are still not assisted. He, Katleho, has promised to call me since last week Friday, to no avail.

The call needs to be urgent. You have already wasted my time for two weeks. if my insurance does not validate my claim, I will ensure that you are held liable for this.

Hi Cell C, I am still waiting for your call, you promised to call 12 Hours ago. Please prioritise my request as you have failed to do so over the past two and a half weeks. All the insurance needs is the ITC number which only you can provide. I need you to urgently blacklist that phone. Your failure to blacklist the phone is positively contributing to the black market and it gives confidence to *******. I have lost even the last iota of confidence I had in you, as a service provider.

Cell C, the frustration and anxiety continues. I can confirm that you have telephonically reached out today at 17:31 via one of your social media consultants named Danielle. You have escalated this matter once again promising to furnish me with conclusive feedback tomorrow at 12:00. I will revert to this platform (with an update) and other means at 12:05 should I still not have the ITC number and if you're failure to blacklist the phone is persisting.
