Lack of communication and damages

<p>I have been struggling with my signal for the last 3months almost, at first comunication was slow and then slower then to the point where there was none and my incodent was closed where I had to go into your offices to sort this out where your staff laughed at my problem at your Bloemfontein Mimosa Mall Branch. Then after going to Victorian Square they gave me the number of a Cell C represnsative in the field working on signal problems. In the past 3months I have been paying my 2 contracts just to get poor to none reception so I cant use my devices I cant send or receive my emails business and personal where Cell C is costing me alot of money and lost tenders not to mention how clients call me and scream at me for not answering meanwhile your signal is the problem, from dropped calls to no internet where it states full signal and then i cant use it, I can barely call Cell C customer service so bad is the situation, from changing settings on my phone for roaming and what not as Godfrey told me ,to where Danie(this guy is excellent and propably the only one doing his job at Cell C) was here numerous times trying his best to sort me out and keep me as a client.</p> <p> </p> <p>in 3months no diffrence, many repeaters and what not no avail, </p> <p> </p> <p>I want to cancel my contracts seeing as I pay for both of them but cant use them for the past 3months I will insist on compensation on both my contracts besides that I cant use them and if it works drop calls or long connection to make a call and then dropped instantly and data being at the rate where Im connected for 3hours and could only use 30mb mmm banking is a no go I have to stand on the roof to make payments and send quotations and invoices,</p> <p> </p> <p>you have hurt my business so bad that my income is 60% lower than that of previous months.</p> <p> </p> <p>I have many phone recordings between myself and Cell C consultants, emails, screenshots amd photos showing how your service isnt working.</p> <p> </p> <p>I demand a new battery for my phone as it was fine working almost two days with it to this point where I have to charge it twice a day as it continuesly searches for signal and depletes the battery .</p> <p> </p> <p>I have had my one contract for 4years at cell c and even when I upgrade almost 2years ago where you sent me a 2nd hand device and i had to wait for cant remember even how long where yet again staff where not doing their work and i had to wait and wait and wait for a handset as your consultants booked it in as a repair and not replacement, is this the kind of service gives to loyal clients, I suppose so seeing that this is nit the first time Im comlpaining about Cell C poor service.</p> <p> </p> <p>I want to know how are you going to rectify this issues as I have been paying and paying for 3months and i get little to no signal.</p> <p> </p> <p>I am waiting for your call and expect answers , not promises not lies I want answers and clear answers on time frames regarding this issue.</p> <p> </p> <p>I am not giving you a ultimatum, Im giving you the chance to rectify how you wronged me, as your consultants tells everyone regardless of this issue at hand is "the matter will be escalated", so seeing as you know that word so well if cell c refuses to give compliance I WILL ESCALATE THIS to media with phone call recordings, emails, screenshots and photos of how your service isnt working and i have to pay for 3months and get little to none service. </p> <p> </p> <p>Ask yourself is it fair if Cell C charges me for 3months of service that i cant use even after continuesly asking and I had to make things happen as your consultants didnt even bother to hear is the problem resolved they only closed the Incident: 170 ********** 73 , if memory served me correct the first complaint was lodged on your website 25 May 2017. Today 10 Aug 2017 still no signal.</p> <p> </p> <p>Way too many issues with cell c, </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>PS.</p> <p>I would like to extend a HUGE Thank you for Danie the onsight field representative of Cell C, that actually took the extra mile for me as a client in trying to sort out this problem for me,I am forever grateful for Danie delivering professional service. </p> <p> </p> <p>Wish I could say that of the rest of the Cell C.</p> <p> </p> <p>When calling I expect the consultant to have answers and no "Im not sure answers"</p> <p> </p> <p>I am waiting for your call</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

I am so glad I have complained about your poor service, as your "service" continues, I have 4 more Cell C contracts that wants answers regarding the poor reception and level of service in my area, 3 of which is the guy living right next door as we spoke this weekend and he asked me what is Cell C going to do about the reception as this is a major issue as he himself also cant make calls or receive without dropping calls.

Should I Go into bank and ask them to cancel debit orders ( As I can not call them because I am on Cell C and cant call anyone) or are you going to give me feedback ?

https://www.hellopeter.com/cell-c/reviews/lack-of-communication-and-damages- ********** I will not settle for your 1month after you stole 3months from me that I had to pay to use your service and I could not do so, Your field consultant was here many many times and he himself even said no the signal isnt improving much where he stood next to me and saw with his own eyes how your Cell C service does not work. You are wasting my time and money, you are hurting my business as customers cant reach me all of the time, I have poor to no internet connection for the last 3 months and Cell C clearly does not care I will not leave this here, Cell C steels from customers and don't even care if the customer can use it or not, My battery is messed up because it continuously searching for reception. AFTER 3MONTHS OF TRYING TO GET A RECEPTION, WHERE I HAD TO EVERYTHING SEEING AS YOUR CONSULTANTS AND IN BRANCH CONSULTANTS FAILED TO GET A TECHNICIAN TO MY SITE, WHERE YOU CELL C CANT EVEN CALL ME BECAUSE LACK OF RECEPTION AND NOW I MUST PAY NO WAY!!!!!! THIS IS YOUR FAULT CELL C, YOU WASTED 3 MONTHS NOT ME SEEING THAT I PAID AND YOU TOOK YOUR TIME TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, YOUR RECEPTION CLEARLY DOES NOT WORK HERE AND NO YOU EXPECT I MUST PAY FRO SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY NOT WORKING. CELL C HAS NO TIME WINDOWS, WELL IT SEEMS IF EVERY PERSON WORKING THERE IS WORKING ON THERE ON OWN TIME, AS I AS LOYAL CUSTOMER WITH 2 CONTRACTS CANT EVEN BE ASSISTED IN 3 MONTHS AND THEN YOU EXPECT ME TO COUGH UP MORE MONEY FRO YOUR SERVICE THAT IS CLEARLY NOT WORKING NOT TO MENTION THE OVERALL POOR SERVICE I HAVE GOTTEN FROM CELL C CONSULTANTS.

still cant send my invoices still get calls of my customers asking why I am not answering yet my phone is on and with me 100% of the time with no missed calls, not the first time one of my clients calls and says they cant get a hold of me, but you Cell C simply dont care, still no word from you nor Mr Kriyaan Naidoo on how we are moving forward, not your version and how you force me to take what you want to give, you have failed in every aspect to complete simple tasks it took Cell C 3months to get to this point not me. I will not pay for a service that I cant use or barely use and I have to pay full and thats my problem.

CELL C router disconnected 15H25 on the 15th of August 2017. Vodacom Router connected , all the pleasure , super fast internet compared to my Cell C experience where a dial up modem from 1995 will be faster and usefull than Cell C data router and my mobile handset. I have sent Kriyaan a file where my client asked me why he could get hold of me twice yesterday. Still no answers and or responses AT ALL

Please tell your Courier Service Ram that I will not do the driver's work for him, as the driver clearly is too lazy too fill in the forms and insist on me doing it. I filled in my side of the form and signed as I have no Idea where this router other than Cell C, hence the reason why Kriyaan asked me for pickup address. Not to mention to rudeness after being polite to this gentleman even though he called me at 07:50 in the morning just to arrive at 09:22. And I would please like to know how does this Driver have the audacity and the information to tell me I must I fill in this form I was the one complaining to Cell C, I would love to hear your answer on how he has this Cell C to Client information and he is a driver for a 3rd party company that Cell C uses, waiting for a response regarding how this driver has this info and why he tells me I complained so I must fill in the form that he has the address for , and a letter from RAM for an apology for this drivers obnoxious manner of treating your Clients Cell C. Waybill RW ********** 9 with vehicle registration CZ 60 JZ GP in a white Isuzu Bakkie branded with RAM artwork. Mpho gave me call stating I keep my mobile handset (even though I have been paying for 21 months on it) and the router will get sent back, and we break clean. I totally agree except the part where Cell C still deducted R249 this morning after me asking you what is going where you failed to reply at all , I have proof of 3 incidents where I have asked abut this debit, and asked when to expect answers where Cell C yet again failed to communicate and where I have the recording where Kriyaan Naidoo clearly instructs me to no stop this debit at my bank as he (Cell C) will refund me with this amount. Mpho is awesome, I am very pleased by the level of profession this person as shown towards me on his call this morning I would like to extend a huge Thank you to Mpho (hope I spelled it correctly). He was polite, calm and gave solutions that is not only a compromise from my side as I am use to with the rest of Cell C. Mpho I have copied my contacts to my SD Card so I think I am sorted we can proceed with the cancellation as per our telephonic conversation so we can speed this up so that I can take my money and convert my other Contract from Cell C to Vodacom. Cell C when comparing your internet to the one I have now of Vodacom, your internet is slow it feels like a dial up modem from 1995 came back to haunt me. Thank you once more to Mpho the Telephonic Consultant who contacted me regarding this hellopeter complaint(s) and Danie the Field Technician for walking the extra mile for me and your kind and professional services. Please note I am not thanking you Cell C as you have failed in every aspect to deliver quality professional services other than the exclusion of names mention above, all of the people I spoke to at Cell C from in branch to telephonic consultants the level of service is shocking how you treat your loyal customers, I was polite at the beginning and it seems that was the problem as this clearly did not make any chances in speed on the contrary it slowed everything down. Mpho when you can please give me call before the end of the day. Thank you and thank you for your kind and professional assistance telephonic this morning.
