GLOF***YOURSELVES (& INVESTEC)

<p>After more than SIXTY phonecalls over the course of 3 days - countless of which of which were not answered after being on the line for more than 10 minutes... I had to drive myself to go to the MOST OBSCURE (Glocell) HQ/office in Durban. Only, it isn't actually an HQ or an office, it's just a directionless portal where they divert EVERYTHING to Johannesburg. I spent two hours there - only to get one of my four issues sorted out. My LITTANY of issues are: Over billing, call barring, mobile data barring, contract cancellation... </p> <p>How can a place like this exist in the modern world??????????</p> <p>The stress and frustration of not being able to make or receive calls for 4 days is beyond anything I have ever experienced... you are POWERLESS when it comes to Glocell. They cannot help you with anything besides buying a contract. DO NOT TOUCH GLOCELL - it's cheap, nasty and stinks of *******ion.</p> <p>There were countless people there who have had insane billing issues and call barring issues...</p> <p>This trainwreck of a service deserves a class action lawsuit.</p> <p>How is it that Investec a major shareholder of this firm? I thought they were supposed to be world class.....no... they are cheap.</p>

Reviewer Update

I personally cannot believe I have received a response frpm Glocell. I am still FUMING F****NG MAD!!!

I posted a complaint about this to Investec and they were so upset by it they had it removed from the site, but I am a customer of theirs by extension and so I will keep posting complaints to them if this is not sorted out properly. An apology is one thing... but I NOW DEMAND ACTION AND I WILL NOT LET THIS GO!

This is what I require, and no less:

1. My contract must be terminated by the end of July, so that I can commence with a new network on the 1st of August. I have already emailed the forms to the jhb office but I have recieved NO response or acknowledgement of my termination request.

2. I must recieve an email from someone techhnically capable of terminating my contract.

3. I must NOT be charged for a 1GB data bundle when it comes to invoicing on August 1st, as it was explained to me that data bundles are charged for in advance...thus I will have been charged for my data usage for the month of July already, according to my imminent invoice which I checked on the Glocell app.

4. I must be reimbursed for the airtime that was used (8hours x R1 per minute = R480) and petrol spent travelling you your offices (30km x R3.50 = R105) , when my call barring issue should have been sorted out in a matter of minutes, over a single phonecall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. I must recieve a call from someone senior, to confirm that ALL OF THIS IS BEING ADDRESSED.

Until these 5 points are addressed and closed out, and I am adequately compensated for the over 10 HOURS of time I have spent on the phone and at the Glocell offices, I am going to be passing on the message to my network of hyperconnected friends, colleagues and family about the sheer trauma of my experience with Glocell and about how ******* Glocell and Investec are.

I have evidence of all my communications, and I have photos of the Durban manager's documents at the Glocell offices on how to turn more profits and which customers to focus on (it includes a hand drawn mind map). Yes - I scanned myself into the back of office out of desperation on Monday, and I found dirt. I also video'd a staff member on a long personal call, after I had asked her to help me... I think you should care about this.
