Product inconsistency and lack of information(part 2 )

---Refer to my review (yesterday) and the response you posted this morning.. You have not responded in the thread so I am posting this again.---

It is so unfortunate that you decided to respond in such an irresponsible way on a public platform instead of taking responsibility... You are missing the point completely in this "official business reply":

1. You guys don't seem to know anything about this 'promotion', I have an sms response from one of your colleagues after the escalation telling me the 365days promotion is for 'instore only', when I point it out that you can get it online then you are switching to 'only available online' . Which is it? and more importantly, how does the customer know this? Is it only know by cellC staff, in such a contradicting manner?

2. There is absolutely nowhere on your website that says (a) This is a promotion or (b) you can only get this online. This is just a one of your tabs that says get data bundles if you want to check this out for yourself (because I actually don't this you now what your interface says to the customer): https://www.cellc.co.za/cellc/get-databundles

3. If this is an online promotion as you purport (although nothing says it is on your website) How long is the 'promotion', when did it start, when does it end? I can tell you now that it's been a very long 'promotion' because it was like this at least for the last year.

4. There is absolutely no difference or alert on your website vs. on the FNB App where I purchased the data that tells me that I am now buying a different product.. They both say R899 for 30G. How am I, the customer supposed to know that they have different validity periods? how? Especially when it is not said at all anywhere on the page I visited on your website that this is a 'promotion' and 'online only'. Where have you given me this information? It is your responsibility to inform me of your products, visibly, especially when you offer 'promotions' that only you know about.

5. I do not want this Data, this is not why I bought it after being mislead by your lack of information and I DO want my money back. Please do not make this an even lengthier irritation than it already has been.

Kindly note that all Cell C platforms do indicate the validity period of any bundle before processing the transaction. We are unable to refund you as the transaction did not take place on our platform or App which were for you to use. 
 
We accept that it is our responsibility to avail the terms and conditions of all our products to you as well as educate you. All this is covered on our website before even submitting any transaction or activating a bundle. 
 
The solution we can put forward to you is to rol***** any unused data.

I am not part of your commercial relationship with FNB, to my knowledge I am buying a CellC product and I expect assistance from you. It is your responsibility to ensure that they represent your product accurately. If I should "Kindly note that all Cell C platforms do indicate the validity period of any bundle before processing the transaction", you should also kindly ensure that this is the case with all your partners. At who's cost and time inconvenience will this rolling over of Data be? All I wanted was data for 365 days at that amount. If you are unable to extend this validity to 365days, then please refund me. I am not getting involved in your CellC - FNB arrangement..

Could you also maybe do the responsible thing and call me to resolve this instead of having a back and forth on this platform? If you were serious about customer service, would I have to ask you for this?

A consultant will be calling you to provide clarity on this matter.
Do expect a call.
