<p>So</p> <p> </p> <p>i took the contract at cellc in 2014,</p> <p>the operator told me, </p> <p>"you wil be very happy with the phone"</p> <p> </p> <p>it was a blackberry z3</p> <p> </p> <p>need i to remind people why we dont buy blackberry? we south african people are tough characters. and we dont have wifi to boost **** signal experience</p> <p> </p> <p>i held a samsung s4 mini next to it and the blackberry, the blackberry was out of signal,</p> <p>and the samsung had full signal</p> <p> </p> <p>so no need to realy complain about that, so i said the sim can stay and rot there in my cupboard, ill buy a new phone,</p> <p> </p> <p>so 2 years goes buy i never use the sim card its just gone, i buy a new phone for my wife, but i thought " hey cellc is advertising the put up alot of new towers" </p> <p>i took the huawei p9-lite the phone is suppose to be insured for R6799-00 we were propably the first in south africa to get the phone, so at first we are very happy cause everything seams good, then when i call her on the cellc number the line makes alot of noise, as if you took a mono cable and plug it into a stereo amp. so we then realised that when the phone goes over to roaming which means VODACOM, then the voice is ****, but here is the thing, we have a VODACOM sim in the phone as well,</p> <p> </p> <p>when i call on the vodacom number there is nothing wrong</p> <p> </p> <p>so yes i did do an expensive contract. R449 or whatever the exact amount is, thats stil alot, seeing that the same phone on Telkom better advantages is R199-00, i mean more free minutes and more data,</p> <p> </p> <p>so then my wife had to stay at her parents for a week, and so we do video calling via whatsapp, </p> <p>geus what suddenly whatsapp doesnt use the same data as provided in youre package it uses "smart data" so i get a bill of almost R200 extra, and in that month. she didnt use the data with the package the package data ended on 400mb, and the minutes ended on 3 minutes or something,</p> <p>so then i get curious, why does the amount just go up suddenly, and then there is a little line at the bottom of the contract saying " minutes carry over to the next month" geus what. the minutes not used is not carried over. you just loose the minutes.</p> <p> </p> <p>so firstly cellc signal is bad,</p> <p>secondly it is over priced the minutes</p> <p>and the youre data is over limit because whatsapp doesnt use package data it uses smart data </p> <p> </p> <p>so if you dont use whatsapp for data? why do you buy a contract with data? i mean whatsapp equals data?</p> <p> </p> <p>or is it a way of tricking you into buying a whatsapp bundle?</p> <p> </p> <p>so i then decide to find out how much it would cost to close the Contract</p> <p> </p> <p>R11999</p> <p> </p> <p>so the phone is 6799 when we bought it, and we already paid R2500- on the contract. so im paying more for the minutes then i am paying for the phone? so airtime on cell c is more expensive then the phone it self?</p> <p> </p> <p>b.t.w the phone is now valued at R4999-00 </p> <p> </p> <p>sorry, but im just having bad experiences with cellc</p> <p> </p> <p>then to top it off, when i had to get a new sim card, i had to pay R150-00 for the new simcard, </p> <p>and on telkom simswops are free, dont tell me cellc is better service then telkom, telkom where i stay, is faster, cheaper and more realiable</p> <p> </p> <p>This email is send on behalve of </p> <p>Michael van Rooyen</p> <p> ********** </p> <p> </p> <p>or leave a message in my email </p> **********

i am very happy about the service i got from Derrick Makhubele
he went out of my way to try and resolve my issue, although this issue is something that occured because of some of the other members of cellc staff. Derick really went out of his way to show me where the issue lies,
Cell C i wont recommend to someone else, there is still the issue of Cell C is more expensive than telkom, and its not as if Cell C really has a better cellphone reception than Telkom Mobile
simple example
the hauwei p9-lite is R429 with 50 minutes
the Lg Stylus 2 is R329
so again thanks to Derrick for his excelent service
