PLEASE DONT FALL FOR THE MARKETING OFFERS AND FREEBIES

I am still reeling from this terrible service from the start of my conversation with the call centre staff to the contract I cancelled. Staff are unprofessional and come across as rude. They not trained properly and don't know their devices. I requested my particular device and was told there is stock so I decided to continue with the telephonic completion of contract. The agent on numerous occasions used the incorrect model of my device in response to which I always corrected her and thereafter she corrected herself. To my dismay the incorrect device was ordered which I only found out the next day since I was asked to call back the next day to start the process to Port my current mobile number across. I stated upfront that this was an urgent application as I was travelling and needed my device in a weeks time max. So here I am 1 day less as a result of their error because now they don't have stock of the device that I initially ordered. My application with other service providers all require a week to complete so I am not forced to travel overseas with my old device that is unreliable. Not the safest option but I don't have an option since no one can guarantee a completed Port in time for my needs. I am totally appalled at this pathetic service from FNB. I can only imagine what their after sales service would have been had I taken the contract out with them. I will definitely not be going back to FNB Connect irrespective of how enticing their marketing seems. I'd rather pay more for the same contract and be guaranteed of a satisfactory service. FNB you failing miserably, rather stick to what you know and that is Banking. People please beware!

Reviewer Update
I have not received a response from FNB Connect to-date. So I reiterate please don't fall prey to their marketing the company definitely doesn't value its customers and Customer Service is evidently lacking drastically. Imagine what the after sales service will be if they don't value their client feedback and respond efficiently. My family and I are clients of FNB for over 30 years if not more and its sad the Brand is moving towards disrepute.
