Thank you for your post.

We sincere apologized for any inconvenienced caused to you.

Thank you for your time online.

We have contacted the repair center on your behalf  ***, we requested for them to check if they can pick up how far is the repair process for the device, we have the following IMEI on the system for the Nokia 3 : IMEI ***.

The repair center could not pick up the device at repairs, you have confirmed that the device was taken to the Polokwane store in February 2019 with the 2 sim cards.

Sim cards should never be handed in with repairs, only the accessories with the device (box, charger )  as received with delivery. Please go back to the store to pick up the 2 sim cards. If they cannot find the sim cards in the store they have to replace the sim cards for you free of charge with sim swap for both numbers.

We have sent the complaint to the Regional store manager to give us feedback of the device.

We cannot assist you with the allocation of the lost 2GB data and airtime from the time the device was in possession with the store. We can assist you with a credit for the subscription against the account for the sim cards not in used.

We are waiting for feedback from the store.

Kind Regards,

Alice van der Merwe
