Horrible Service

Utterly disappointed with the level of service MTN feels is okay. Got my brand new Iphone less than 3 months ago. It's worth R25 000 but overheats and shuts down in less than 3 months. Went to the local branch to give it back. Was advised that I first had to submit it for a warranty review and then they'll decide if they give me another unit or not. In the meantime I still need to pay the installments of the overpriced phone that's NOT working. Phoned to check up and a week later the phone hasn't even been booked in and I spoke to 4 people to try and get some help before I was eventually told to just keep calm as it will take at least 4-6 weeks before they decide whether they will refund me or not. So I'm leaving for Turkey on the 12th of June with a piece of nonsense phone that's not working. I run my ENTIRE business from my phone which means I pay MTN over R 3000 a month anyways for my contract. I've been with them for 10+ years. And still they don't feel its necessary to give me some level of decent service. I never complain but I've had it with paying for something I don't receive. Will be moving my contract for sure.

Hi Jessica 
I need a replacement phone within this week - if MTN can just assist me with that, I can continue with life as is. Currently I'm losing business and precious time and its costing me money. 
I appreciate your help.

Its 19 August - TWO AND A HALF MONTHS LATER - and guess what? Still no phone. After having to disable my "Find my iPhone" three times so that they could asses and repair my phone, the lady at Lydenburg branch just phoned saying the phone is on its way back, not repaired as the "Find my iPhone" has not yet been disabled. I have never felt this lost, helpless and used in my life. No matter what I do, no matter how many times I follow up or complain or who I write and ask for help, I am being ****** from and can't do anything about it. Its been over 4 months, R 15 000 + paid for a phone I don't have and just no light at the end of this tunnel. I even requested that they just keep the phone and refund my the money paid since Jan and cancel my contract and the guy phones me informing me that I'll be paid the phone full contract term whether they are in the wrong or not. I have informed the branch that I will be seeking legal advice. MTN - I am honestly at a loss for words. Your service is shocking....to such an extent that it almost feels unreal.
