Discovery Bank migration from FNB

I have been trying, unsuccessfully for 2 months to open the Discovery Bank app. Due to the migration from FNB to Discovery Bank I was forced to open the account. As we had a secondary card which has the same telephone number listed as the contact when I tried to open the account I was unable to receive the OTP which would activate the account as the system identified another user as having the same cell number - my husband was contacted and his number was recorded correctly on the secondary card. Yet still I cannot activate the account. I have spoken to numerous people who are all very sympathetic and promise to escalate the query but that is the last I hear. I have asked to speak to a Manager and have been told on numerous occasions that my details have been provided to a Manager and they will call me back. Never heard from anyone. I could view my credit card details on the Discovery logon page but this no longer is possible. I am so frustrated as I was pressurized into moving, I did not want to do banking on my phone via an app but had no option ...and now not only am I being forced to transact in a way I am not comfortable with but I cannot open the account - why the migration took place without sufficient care to ensure that this kind of thing would not happen is beyond me...and now that there is a problem why is it taking two months to rectify. It is beyond frustrating!!!

Hello now when I try and log in it tells me the device does not belong to the logged in user.. it still seems to be pulling through my husband as the device user this is my cell phone number. his is different and has been changed if I look on our Discovery profile.
