What about the fact that i have been to the store already and it is the reason why i had to take this rout as i had no option. i don't think you understand me. 1. i made a call to your service Centre and i was told to go to cell c store, i did that. 2 at the store when i arrived there i was told to provide my id and POP and complete the form which i also did. but i was referred back to customer care contact Centre. 3 i decided to report this problem to hellopeter to get this resolved but still i have been referred back to the store. i have two cell c numbers 1 is pre-paid and the other one is a contract both numbers are not working and i dont know if this is the way of your punishment.
