HORRIBLE SERVICE FROM CELL C

I have been with this company since 2015 and all i received is bad service. I also regret from upgrading again last year. My biggest problem started when i did the upgrade in December of 2018. The device was delivered Huawai P Smart at my work address amd on the 13 December 2018 i called to put the phone on insurance and i was asked to complete the forms which i did and send them back to Cell C at the email address provided by one of their staff i believe Nthabiseng (@ C surance dept). Needless to say the phone was never insured.

the biggest issue came this month, February of 2019 when i charged the phone at night and the phone got damaged. The device bend and stopped working. i went to work and left the phone at home and called Cell C. The agent asked me if there was any scratches on the device to which i rep**** NO. She told me the phone will be collected within 7 working days for repairs. That afternoon when i got home i found my 3 year old and 7 year old playing with the phone and they said their mom said it was damaged they can play with it. When i checked i found that they poked out one of the cameras at the back and my son said he wanted to see what was taking pictures. Well the following day i called Cell C and reported this matter to them. The phone was collected and after 2 weeks i am told that there was physical damage (camera) and therefore warrantee is now voided and i am liable for R4000. Basically niglegting all other reasons to evaluate the phone as to why it did what it did, their primary focus was now just on the camera that the kids damaged. I asked one of their manager who identified herself as Dimakatso Motlhabani that the screen protector was still intact to which she responded that other people would put the screen protector after the damage. I asked her how possible is it that i can curve the class to the new shape that the phone took pricise to how it was damaged. She quickly changed her story and say i am putting words in her mouth. I suggested to pull that call and listen to it as her calls were recorded.

This is the beginning of a new contract and this is what i am experiencing. No one wants to listen to you, from rude agent to Team Leaders who make empty promises of returning your calls or just investigating. I believe Cell C doest care about one customer. I am like a drop in the sea of customers they are having, why would they worry about me? I regret the day i decided to sign with them, i will never recommend them to anyone, not even my enermy. As i am typing this, a Team leader **** and said he would call me back and i am waiting. What a sad company. Where is the integrity, i wonder?

Reviewer Update
It has now come down to the fact that I have to pay money from my pocket which I find to be very unfair. I feel Cell C and its partners (Csurance) have really handled my query bad and refused to confront the facts but look at the quick and easy solution for them. From the beginning of this query no one wanted to take accountability from Cell C and everyone was pointing at the fluffy points in order to distance themselves from the problem, while as a client I suffered on the other side. Where is the integrity. Hiding behind unfounded legislation which has never been tested in a court of law. I must say that this is not the outcome I was hoping for provided the facts on the table; the device was almost new and the unknown happened. Empty promises were made by staff including those who call themselves senior staff from Cell C and even after posting on the media, a generic response was posted from Cell C, what a caring company. If I also take all the correspondence from your departments that are not aligned in terms of the message to me, I am left with no words to say. If anything, I will have to endure this part of the contract that, out of choice renewed in December last year. I will leave to regret the day I did that. I must say I will never be an ambassador for Cell C but will speak out in different forums about the level of bad service that this company offers and how they care so little about their clients. All what you are interested in is taking money and couldn’t be bothered about anything else. So called managers willingly throw accusations that they cannot substantiate and even supervisors question the level of education of their clients without any form of repercussion. I know the next 24 months will be a pain for me with you, but all shall pass one day and your company will only be a bad memory.
