Service that makes you feel worthless

As someone who works in the customer service industry I am shocked and appalled by the service I received from the Cell C call center. I have called Cell C innumerable times over the last 4 days and I received ghastly service from each and every one of the people I spoke to most especially Rose who promised to log something for me and didn't, who promised to get back to me and didn't as well as Mohammed Ibrahim who is a team leader. This guy, after I asked to speak to him didn't want to help me, told me to speak to the person I had previously spoken to. After all these calls made I was eventually told that my wifi hasn't been working for the past 4 days because the SIM is damaged, had anyone listened to what I was telling them they could have told me that ages ago. I was told to do a SIM swop which I've done I'm still not sure if my issue has been resolved and I guess I will just have to wait and see. I have no trust in this company anymore. I will see my contract out but as soon as I have I will find a different service provider even if I need to pay double because the service I received made me feel absolutely worthless to cell c so I will take my business to someone who values me as a customer. I wish I had listened when people told me how ******* cell c is!!!

Reviewer Update
So I would like to update the previous review, I would love to drop the rating to a 0 and tell you that now that i have spent 115 Rand on a SIM swop and waited the required 4 hours, lo and behold the situation is not rectified and the my WiFi is still not working. Being optimistic I yet again called through to your pathetic and useless call center and spoke to another in a long line of your absolutely horribly trained and terribly inconsiderate agents. I don't however blame the agents as the management seems to be worse. Tonight i had the pleasure of speaking to Lindokuhle Zwane and after speaking to me for all of a minute he tells me that no it cannot be the SIM card then it must be my router. Really??? Realising that this gentleman was not really going to pay attention to me and would, like his colleagues before him, say anything to get me to put down the phone i asked to speak to his manager. He said he would try and find him, after 15 minutes of hold (I kid you not) i am told that, NO i cannot speak to the manager, he is on a call and that i would be called back by the manager Donavan Nayager. I refused as i have been told this before and said i would wait. Then Lindokuhle tried to take me through a few steps to trouble shoot, again optimistic i try. At the end he again says its my router and that this is the way it works. They will try and go through numerous issues until the issue is resolved, so i wasted that R 115.00 never mind the money i spent on calls???!. Upon hearing this i again asked to speak to Donavan as after 30 minutes he should be off of his call. I am put on hold again (at least only 10 minutes this time) and Donavan tells poor Lindokuhle he must email him the details as he WILL call me back. So essentially this manager/ supervisor refused to speak to me. When asking when i could expect this call i am told that cannot be confirmed but before 11????? Apparently this team who reports to Gerome Naidoo in KZN do not give 2 hoots about their clients and quite frankly Gerome should hang his head in shame. I was almost in tears with frustration and these people simply do not care.
