Nasty Surprise after upgrading at Cell C

<p>Cell C phoned and persuaded me to upgrade to a new phone after my contract expired. Phone was delivered to me by courier. I took new phone in its box to Cell C Walmer Park and asked them to activte it for me and set it up. So fine, but later that month I got an SMS to say I had reached my limit of R645 in just about two weeks - with making only a minimum of calls, etc!! I went bcak to Cell C and they said the way it had been set up, it was constantly updating info if I used it or not! They did not tell me this when they activated the phone!! Since then, they put a cap on of R250. But now I am stuck with payment of the R645 and Cell C say there is nothing they can do about it. So Cell C has lost a customer after being with them for about three yaers. After this contract, no more Cell C for me! Graham Wood</p>

Reviewer Update

i already lodged a complaint on the Cell C Website and a guy from Cell c contacted me, heard my story and said unfortunately there was nothing they could do to reimburse me. He said if it had been a telephonic matter he could have played the tape where they set up the phone but as I visited the store and did it face to face, there was no come back. So much for Cell C customer service!!. As a pensioner I cannot afford to pay R645 for two weeks use of my new phone. when they told me it would be only R189 per month! i am so sorry I did not stay with my old phone and not responded to the many Cell C sales calls.
