No credit score no contract despite offering to pay 24 mths in advance - only in Africa

Wanted to sign up for Fixed LTE 50/50 for r199 pm.

Despite being a prepaid customer for 5 years - buying services for r4000 per year on average - they refused to sign me up for Fixed LTE claiming I have no credit score.

I offered to prepay for 24 mths - they refused.

They talked to head office, called the manager - no - no credit score no contract - cannot pay upfront. Instead they wanted to sell me yet another prepaid which was 50/40 for double the price.

No wonder Cell C is losing money and South Africa has 30 % unemployment. They do not understand the simplest of business principles. A contract has two parties - one pays the other provides service. If I pay 24 mths in advance my obligation is settled.

Hilariously there is not even a 24 mths obligation as the contract can be cancelled every month !

You just reaffirmed that you do not understand contracts. You should read my post again and talk to a lawyer.

Cell C obligation is to provide service, my obligation is to pay. If I pay upfront my obligation is fulfilled. NO credit score needed because there is no credit towards me.
