iKhokha worst device investment ever

3 years ago our NPO purchased a device to maximize our fundraising events. A few weeks ago I switched on the device to use it and an error message 'COMMUNICATION MODE press C to exit' appeared. I contacted iKhokha, i was told i dropped the device and it can not be fixed and that sales would call me to sell me a new one. I informed the consultant that the device was never dropped, there is no physical damage to make that statement. She was uninterested! Then i asked which button is C so i could exit. Consultant had no idea and informed me that they only import and sell the devices, there is no proper tech support and i would get another call to sell me a new one. We are a charity, this device was an investment! Why would i buy another one when there is no tech support!! Sales department did call & i told the man i dont want to buy a new one & i just wanted to clear the error message. He said he would call me back, its been over a month now without a call back.

So 'shortly' means another 2 days time in iKhokha world. Its disappointing that the poor customer service guy was not briefed on the complaint. iKhohka you should really give people the facts that there is no after sales service, you cant resolve software or hardware issue and that your only resolution is to sell us another device. But why would I buy another device and have our NPO be out of pocket when the device fails? Also who ever you have employed to handle complaints on Hello Peter should know have to read and understand what the poster is complaining about instead of this merry-go-round of BS help. Nothing has been resolved, i had to explain the situation AGAIN and AGAIN got the 'we only sell the devices' speech.
