Poor Cell C Customer Service

Since September I have been trying to cancel my contract because the signal in the area is very poor, even after taking to networks department that has advise me to change setting to work of vodacom towers but no improvement. I am still unable to use the data. December I was told that they happy to cancel my contract however they just need to do final verification but that didn't happen.

Secondly I was not even notified when my contract was changed from a month to month contract to a yearly contract. An automatic change over was done without my consent. I even didn't get the sms notification that Cell C consultant have advised that it was sent to you me.

I don't even get the sms notification for the query I submitted with the reference number.

So I would like this contract to be cancelled with immediate effect and my number changed to prepaid because I am unable to use the services, but they unable to this an advised I should wait 48 hours for another consultant to contact even though I have following up for so long. Last reference of ***

Good Day, Cell C came back to say it is a month to month contract and they will cancel it so my dad asked them to call me so I can finalize it the cancelation process. They did call but I could take the call because I was in a meeting......so they didn't bother to return the call later. Next day my dad called again and they verified the details and promised him they will call me but they still didn't.

Good Day,

This is poor customer service, you can't just close a call because you called the customer once and they didn't answer. It's not like we sit waiting for you to call as we also have jobs and other commitments to attend too.

I still haven't received a call from you'll.

Kindly note the best time to call is between 3pm - 5pm as I will meetings the whole day.

Good Day,

I had a call yesterday from Cell C stating they are picking up data usage but how is this possible when one we are unable to make watsapp calls and watch YouTube and secondly we were also notified the towers are faulty.

This problem was going on from September when I initially tried to cancel the contracts.

This doesn't make sense.

Good Day,

I hope you are well.

I was promised a usage report from networks departmen but still haven't received it.

Yes you picking up usage but doesn't necessarily mean we are able to use the data because on our side we can't make watsapp calls and when we use you tube or chrome it keeps on buffering.

There is usage, but what is the latency and data drops over the link

If this was the case than you able to pick when towers have issues or streaming has gone down.

Please may we resolve the query as soon as possible by canceling the contract because we are being charged for a service we can't use and getting no benefit from it.

Good Day,

I hope you are well.

We received your usage report but this report is not correct because it is showing data usage on Facebook, Pintrest, and Skype.

This apps are not utilized by me and I don't have accounts with these applications so how is it possible for me to have data usage.

We are still unable to use the data and for the month of February we were unable to connect even through We followed the process by the network department.

This contract needs to be cancelled with immediate effect as I refuse to make payment for these services while someone else is using the data.
