Foneyam ****

Utterly disappointed

I get home to do my own personal research on this company after being approached by an friendly Ackerman's consultant whilst purchasing a new phone for my daughter's birthday present, the phone she wanted was out my budget however the consultant advised that I should perhaps apply for this new payment solution which allows you to leave with the phone and pay monthly installments,

There was no advise on anything of a rental or returning this phone in 12 months.

The phone costs R1999

Total payback after 12 months = R3360

Plus you telling me I must return it with the option of buying it for "market value" what is market value when I've just paid the phones full value and more!

This is daylight ******* on a whole new level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviewer Update
Good Day Foneyam

Upon my own discovery I did note that on your website

However Instore your agents do not advise any of this! They are more eager to sell for your qualifying amount and have no mention of anything to do with RENTAL.

That right there is not how you conduct business

Theres a difference between purchasing and renting

I was buying a phone cash and they advised on a better phone out of my budget and still assured me I could pay it off!

Explain?
