I tried all I could.

I was ****** During lockdown. None of the stores we open and I had to wait. The stores opened finally after weeks and weeks of waiting. I called Cell C customer care and they asked the usual last time I recharged , how much and last 5 people I called. Obviously I could not remember because I was ****** a while back. So then I decided to go to the Store. I brought along my PRoof of address and ID for the sim swap and I was told I needed to go to the Police station to make an affidavit at this branch 15 minutes away from where I stay. I went to go and get the affidavit done and went to a different branch closer to where I stay. I spoke to a lady who was so rude and obviously she said Cell C doesn’t do affidavit for Sim swap. I was told by another branch I needed to do that in order for me to do the sim swap. She said no and I phoned customer service to help and spoke to a lady who honestly tried her best to help me she was sweet and Polite. She told Me I should return to the branch that said I should get the affidavit and phone again if they don’t help me. I went back to that branch and they Told me the same thing “ we don’t do affidavit” and the lady that Previously helped in that branch was not there. I was spoke to a lady who was also so rude and dismissive and yet again I called Customer Service for help. I spoke to another sweet lady who tried her best ,even phoned the manager I was grateful. In the Branch they Wouldn’t help me. I honestly didn’t make this thing up of getting an affidavit in my head. I was told to do so and it even says Online. When I spoke to Customer Care the lady told me that it’s been a while since I’ve used the number and it has been given to someone else. I was using that number for WhatsApp , Gmail , google drive and I’ve had calls on that number it’s impossible that I have not used it. Cell c literally gave me the Run around and still Nothing in the end. I left Cell C for a reason and once again they have just proved to me why I did in the first place.

Hi Liyani 

We apologize for the manner in which this matter was handled and for the inconvenience caused.

It's mandatory to pass your security check in order to have the SIM swap processed.
