MISINFORTMATION

Last week I received a call from an agent informing me that I am due for an upgrade and he raves on to tell me about all the wonder attributes of the Samsun A33 5G. I* received the phone today only to find that he CONVENIENTLY NEGLECTED TO MENTION is that the phone only comes with a charging cable and NO CHARGER!!!!! How ridiculous is that????????? Now I am expected to go and buy a charged out of my pocket. To say I am furious is a very big understatement.

Dear Denise B

Thank you for contacting Cell C,

We do apologize for the inconvenience caused, the Samsung galaxy series does not have earphones or a charger plug in the box because Samsung wants to minimise the impact our products have on the environment.

More and more Galaxy users are making sustainable choices in their daily lives to promote better recycling habits.

Regards
^MN

 

Best regards,

Ok so now I have the phone but no charger or earphones. How am I supposed to charge this phone????? and the fact that it is not mentioned when your agents all but shove it down our throats is UNACCEPTABLE. This is plain DISHONESTY!!!!

All good and well, it may be mentioned in your deal booklet, but I did my transaction telephonically and your agent should have informed me of this. But lesson learned.... you will NOT be duped like this again.

"Samsung galaxy series does not have earphones or a charger plug in the box because Samsung wants to minimise the impact our products have on the environment." This is what you quoted me as the reason why there is no charger or earphones with the phone BUT I need to charge my phone so I must GO AND BUY A CHARGER ANYWAY!!! where is the logic in that????

All service providers do not sell chargers or earphones with their packages anymore.
