Poor, Bad very bad service with Cell C as a whole

Hello there

Today marks exactly 7 days of No network, I am not able to use my phone another unless it connected to WiFi. My phone shows “ No service “ I have called Cell C customer service several times and each consultant it’s got a different story, rather option than solutions I have been at the Cell C store in Balfour Park Johannesburg where the 1st Cell C referred me to.

When I insert my sim card in my friends phone, my phone sim card work perfectly well and I have inserted my friend’s Cell C SIM card in my phone and it worked perfectly well and her husband’s Cell C simcard works perfectly well.

At the Cell C store the consultant advised me to buy a SIM card and do a sim swap, sim swap was a success however my phone still says “NO SERVICE” I phoned Cell C customer line, they told me to go back where I bought the phone which is Cell C Balfour & they told me to call Cell C consultant she checked if my phone is Black listed and she checked if my number is Black listed nor my phone nor my number that is black listed. If then so why is that for 7 days that I am not able to use my phone with my Cell C simcard. The consultant at Balfour Cell C store advised me to lose my number and get a new simcard which she offered it, however I was not able to because it showed the same problem “ NO SERVICE”. They then inserted my SIM card in their phone and their simcard in my phone it worked perfectly well in their phone no network issues and also their simcard worked perfectly well on my phone no network issues at all. I am desperate for a solution. I need a full access to my phone.

Before you carry ON accusing my phone, please note that the Cell C SIM cards works perfectly well on my phone including the Cell C simcard of the Cell C store in Balfour Park and also my simcard works perfectly well in their phone.

And yes I bought this phone brand new, at the very same Cell C store in Balfour Mall.

I have already provided my IMEI number to your consultation 3 days ago!!!

Why is my device Blacklisted, whereas I have paid fully for it, this is not the 1st in 2021 you also Blacklisted my device and I had to go through a whole lot of paperwork, filling out forms, going to police station for affidavits, why you people like this? How do you Blacklist a phone that is fully paid for? Why are you wasting my time like this? Why is there no empathy, integrity at Cell C???

I am so done with Cell C as soon as this is resolved, I am done so will my friends and my family I will never recommend Cell C to anyone

You and your team had better not be sending me back to Police Station for affidavit and getting me to fill up forms, for the mistake that you did. You had better not waste any more of my time after the whole 7 days of inconvenience! Just unblack list my phone!

One of your consultants told me that you deliberately Black listed phones, that were ****** that ended up affecting other phones! Clearly with just without technology common sense should be app**** instead of applying laziness, this is all due to incompetence and laziness!!

With technology in this day and age, how on earth can something like this happen, I have been calling back and forth looking for solutions, clearly if it was for laziness and incompetence this problem could have been resolved long time ago. 7 days of laziness and incompetence, 7 days!!!!!!

Okay wait!!!
You Black list my device and the after you “try” getting hold of me!!! Common sense yeah!!!


If you had done a follow up you’d notice that I have a provided an alternative way for you to “ try” reaching out, which my EMAIL ADDRESS.

How do you black list my number without reaching out to me and now now to unblack list you need to be reaching out!!!

Don’t you think that if I had an alternative number I would have provided it??????
