Money First! Customer Last!

It's is extremely difficult to contain my anger and frustration in dealing with MTN/Mondo. Despite better judgement we proceeded with an MTN data deal through telephone sales. We were told that we would be receiving a portable MIFI unit and we were assured of this by the telesales person. Although we wanted a written confirmation of the details of the contract as well as the terms and conditions, we were told it was not possible for this to be sent to us and the T&Cs could be downloaded from MTN website (which we investigated later and couldn't even find out which one of the hundreds of T&Cs would be applicable to us).

When the device and SIM was eventually delivered, our excitement was quickly turned into disappointment when a different device that did not match what was promised was delivered. Ever since that day, it has been a thoroughly painful journey with MTN/Mondo. We submitted the problem to MTN and have had no response. We've called MTN and was informed we had to speak to Mondo as it was not an MTN problem (surely you could have advised us of that in our first query?). We have called Mondo to which the interaction is not welcoming at all. We bought our own MIFI, only to be rudely informed that this SIM is not transferrable.

We are now stuck with an unusable contract for the next 24 months.

It is clear that MTN is only interested on our money. Customer service is clearly not a priority.

Dear Mondo Team,

Thank you for keeping us informed of the progress, the effort is appreciated. Our interaction with Celimpilo (on the 18th May) was exceptional and is the type of interaction we were expecting from the start.

We hope to be able to have this resolved soon.
