Worst service ever

Worst service ever.

I app**** for an additional phone in January 2025. I received 2 phones and immediately contacted Cell C and arranged for it to be returned. It was collected in April 2025 after I had to phone again to make arrangements for the collection of the phone. I am paying for a contract that I didn't agreed upon. I have contacted Cell C multiple times and every time I received another case number. On the 16th of June, a consultant phoned me and confirmed that the extra contract that were cancelled. He asked me to mail my bank statements showing the two debit orders and proof of bank account in order for Cell C to refund me. I have sent the bank statements from February until June 2025.

On 09 July 2025 I received the following feedback:

Good day Mrs. Louisa Van Lelyveld,

Problem solved as promised.

After my review was posted, I received a phone call from Johnny. He confirmed that my extra contract was cancelled and promised that my money will be paid into my account by the end of the week. I received my money this afternoon.

Thank you for a promise kept.
