CONSUMER WARNING – HMA CELLULAR, MONTANA FAMILY MARKET I want to place my experience with HMA Cellular at Montana Family Market on record so that other consumers can make their own informed decisions. I have used HMA Cellular many times before and, to be fair, I previously received good service. Unfortunately, my current experience has been very different. I took my Samsung S21 to HMA Cellular for a replacement screen and other work. I was initially offered a cheaper screen for approximately R800. I specifically said I did not want the cheap option. I wanted a proper screen where the biometric/fingerprint functionality would work. I was told this could be done. I ultimately paid R1,400 cash. When I collected the phone shortly before 24 July 2026, I was then told that they could not get a screen on which the biometric functionality worked. I was nevertheless assured that the screen fitted would otherwise work properly. The phone subsequently developed problems again. I took it back approximately two weeks ago. It was checked and repaired again and worked properly for a period. The problem has now returned. I sent further WhatsApp messages on 6 August 2026. I received no response. I followed up again today, 8 August 2026, and made it clear that I would now place my experience on record. I have preserved the WhatsApp communications and exported copies of the chat to my email. I will now take the Samsung S21 somewhere else, obtain an independent assessment and have it repaired properly. I will also retain the technical findings and costs. I am not calling anyone a ***** or making allegations I cannot prove. I am stating exactly what happened to me. My warning to other consumers is simple: Be cautious. Get the exact replacement screen, biometric compatibility, warranty and price confirmed in writing before paying. I have also formally notified Montana Family Market management of the matter. If HMA Cellular resolves the matter properly, I will equally place that on record.
