PATHETIC SUPPORT

AWFUL SUPPORT

I RECENTLY GOT AN ESIM FOR MY IPHONE FROM YOU GUYS, IT MAKES CALLS & SMSes BUT WILL NOT ACTIVATE ON IMESSAGE.

AND THIS IS HOW THE FUN BEGINS FOR TODAY ONLY: CellC Support Staff; - x2 I was told call back later the system is down. - x2 I was forwarded to SIM activation (forget I was looking for iMessage activation, the sim activation team said that they don’t even activate e sims you need to go into a branch) - x1 I was told go to the iStore, the fault is with them - x1 I was told I can’t help you - x1 I was told factory reset the phone - x1 I was told reset the network settings (after I had fully wiped the phone)

I went to the iStore and its simple, logic actually. My iPhone + Physical CellC sim = working iMessage My iPhone + e-sim CellC = not working iMessage Logically, the esim thus has a problem.

Next up the branch, I walk into 2 - not 1 - but 2 branches, and tell them I need help with my iPhone with a dual sim iMessage activation. CELL C, HAVE I NEVER SEEN SUCH SURPRISED FACES IN MY LIFE - THE GUYS WHO SOLD ME THE SIM COULDN’T BELIEVE IT CAN WORK ON AN IPHONE. The one branch even fought me saying iPhones don’t support dual sim - needless to say I was getting nowhere with this.

I tried one more time, an hour ago, to see if there’s maybe someone who’s educated enough to help - and surprise; a support staff told me to do a sim swop.

SO CELLC WHO CAN HELP ME WITH MY SETTINGS ACTUALLY NOW!

Hi Lean

Thank you for reaching out.

 Try to load some normal airtime if you haven't? Not free SMS's or minutes or anything, normal old airtime. iMessage activation sends an international SMS to a UK number, if you have no airtime, it won't work and thus won't activate. Otherwise if international SMSs are blocked, that can also be the problem.

This is hilarious ‘NH’ you physically just copied and pasted this response from broadband.com forum.

I know this because, I opened the post and that one of the replies I received.
You really are ***********!

If that is your reply, why is it every time I contact a technical advisor they say everything is correct on their side - additionally they make special note that “THERE IS NOTHING LIKE AN INTERNATIONAL BLOCK ON SMS, IT DOESN’T EXSIST!

YET HERE YOU ARE JUST COPYING AND PASTING RESPONSES - **** YOU’RE DUMB.

I WANT A MANAGER TO TECHNICAL MANAGER TO PHONE ME, BECAUSE CLEARING YOU DON’T KNOW WHATS POTTING!
