Mtn Inferior Products

<p>In December 2016 i approached an Mtn Store and after informing them of my needs i was encouraged to take a spoecific device , it was a tablet for my young daughter , after her having one for 2 years prior to that . I took delivery and she was given her gift in December 2 weeks later the tablet had stopped working , screen cracked no other physical damage. after it was booked in with MTN in early January i only recieved the unit back today with a note in the box saying uneconomical to repair and i must bascially pay a replacement value and service the remiander of the data contract im tied in with. My issue is 2 fold one the one hand it is my opinion that i was ill informed of the product and its limitations secondly MTN has atrociius customer service , regardless of what you purchase you should be granted with the same respect and yet to date no one has called me to give details , the store had informed me that i should contact the repair center , there is no escalation process short of calling them , which i did however after 2, 20 minute calls holding on i gave up.</p> <p>SO MTN i have had various contracts with you for the longest time and even used to convince people to use your network , just know im done i am never recomending you to anyone and as soon as i can i will be cancelling all my dealings with you. I am deeply dissapointed and if anyone who reads this feels agrieved with MTN, i encourage you to speak up that is the only way consumers can be protected. We should all be consumer pirates and ensure that good service is first and formost befiore profit.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thank You </p>

Good day Rizwaan,

Thank you for your post.

Please accept our apologies for the break down in service at one of our touch points and for any inconvenience caused. We appreciate the time and the effort you took to air your dissatisfaction because it is through such feedback that we can re-evaluate our processes in order to improve on our Service levels.

Please note that as per the warranty terms and conditions, a broken screen is classified as physical damage and this voids your warranty. Beyond Economic Repair means that the cost of repairing the device is equal or more than the value of the device so it would be much more viable to get a brand new replacement device as the cost is equivalent to the repair cost.

We sincerely hope that the above is in order and that we are able to restore your faith in us.

Kind Regards,

Tshepo M
