Poor Customer Service from Cell C

All the branches of Cell C have closed down in the South Coast. We have visit a branch in Hillcrest to upgrade a contract. They did not have the Samsung phone in stock and advice us to take another phone. Unfortunate this phone do not have all the app my daughter need for her work and decided to return the phone. Because the shop is 200 km away we want to send the phone back but they do not want to accept it. We need to drive back there and physically hand the phone back at the branch 200km away. After spoken to Customer Care a few times and they ensure us that they will assist us. The upgrade department has refuse to even try to help us. My daughter has 3 contract with them for more than 7 years and that is the assistance they gave us.

With my husband passed away in December I went into the branch to hand in his death certificate. My contract was cancelled immediately even before i left the branch with not even an opportunity to put the account over into my name.

If this is the way they treat loyal customers i can see why so many branches is closing down.

Yes, they open it in the shop. Only at home she discover that the apps are not compatible.

Ok so we will drive 200km to hand back the phone and also close all the accounts we have with Cell C and advice all friends and family to do the same.

After more than 7 years of loyal customers you have just lost a whole family business

Why can we not send it back with a courier service. The branch refuse to accept it after we explain the situation. We need to arrange transport as we do not have our own vehicle which mean it will cost us about R700 to get the phone back to the store. If they just had the Samsung phone in store the situation would not have been drop on us.

Seeing that the situation cannot be resolved and absolutely no understanding from Cell C side. You leave us no choice but go public with this. How Cell C have absolutely no customer service and just have no mercy for anybody.

We will return the phone and cancelled the contracts.
