Frustrated, annoyed and disgusted

I recently took my damaged phone to the HVRC in Midrand. I had to call numerous times to check the status and eventually I went to collect my phone. The lady that I dealt with asked why I didn't request a new phone as it was still under warranty. According to the CPA, I am within my rights to request a new phone, but this wasn't communicated with me at the time I booked my phone in. If there is a legitimate defect with my phone, then I would prefer a brand new one instead of a refurbed phone that I now have. That still isn't where this ends... The lady at the centre checked my phone and all looked to be in working order. I returned home only to find that my phone was missing the sim tray, rendering it absolutely useless! I immediately called the *** number to report it, and was told that I would have to call back the next day to follow up. This happened three days in a row. In total, I have spent 83 minutes on the phone to MTN customer service only to find that I am being charged for these calls! It has been over a week now, and I am still waiting for someone to contact me with a solution. The service received has been pathetic and MTN should be ashamed of themselves!!!!!

We have sent the complaint regarding the repair request and sim tray not received back to the repair supervisor to assist us with feedback. Once we receive feedback we will notify you.

Regarding the call charges when you have called the repair centre, once the invoice for October month has finalized you can send the email to me to send to you the itemized billing report, once received you can underline the calls made to the repair centre and we can then credit the account for the charges.
