1st complaint was ignored in 2018. this is the 2nd one. i pray for feedback asap!!

logging same complaint for the 2nd time> i purchased a Hisense cellphone from Woolworths Northgate mall branch and within a month the phone was not charging and i took it back to woolworths and they booked the phone in at mtn for repairs. i had the phone for less than 7 days after repairs and the phone just switched off and died nd would not even charge. i returned the phone to woolworths again for the 2nd time and the phone was booked in again and i only received the phone after 5 weeks and i was told that no repair has been done because of water/liquid damage. i called the woolworths complaint line and to date i have had no feedback. I am not sure if MTN is trying to rip me off or what because i paid cash for that phone and in less than 3 months it went for repairs twice and now i am sitting with a new dead phone but i am sure if it was a contract phone they would be calling me non stop for their money. I am really dissapointed in MTN and i honestly did not drop the phone into any water, i want my money back from woolworths/mtn. this is the most shocking experience i have ever had!!!

I was emailed by Portia from MTN, and unfortunately they say "there's nothing they can do"...their feedback states that the phone is beyond repair, it could have been "sweat or moisture"... this is really the worst service i have ever received. does this mean the phone was in an accident or i moisturised it with my body heat or in the microwave??? i do not accept this feedback as i believe i did not spend R1000 for a dead phone. i want my refund or an exchange for a phone that is in working order. ..

i am truly annoyed!!! firstly, MTN ignores my complaint in 2018, then months later i get told there's nothing they can do!!! this is really a money making scheme of a company.
