MTN Pathetic Service

<p>I am currently using an MTN contract which provided me with Iphone 5s. Last Tuesday on the 13th July 2016 I sent in my IPhone to HVRC due to network problems. I gave in the required forms and was informed that the warrenty was approved and that I could go to any MTN store to get a new Iphone 5s even though I got the phone through MTN direct. On arriving to the MTN store on West Street, Durban I was told that they are unable to give me a phone and I have to get back to MTN direct in order to get my new phone. After several calls and been put on hold by MTN direct I was eventually told that the Iphone I sent would take 7 to 14 days for it to be transported back to them for them to recheck and re approve my warranty. I was also told that I should call in a week to follow up on whether they received my phone. When I called the same number yesterday I was put into contact with another branch and I was told they would get the sales person who I spoke to last week to call me back. After waiting a full day I did not get a call and decided to call back. After persisting I was finally put through to the sales person who then told me that they still haven't received my phone, If my warranty was already approved and I was told that I can collect from any MTN store then I do not see why my time and efforts are been wasted when they are not making the effort to provide me with the service that I am paying for. This is very disappointing since MTN is a renowned company. It is important that I have my phone for I use it for business purposes. Please advise me on whether the service I am paying for will be provided or are you going to continue wasting my time</p>

Reviewer Update

Dear Sir/Mam

After posting this review I was contacted again by mtn. Not only was the service provided inefficient but I was also promised a phone would be sent to me by Wednesday 3 August 2016 and I have not yet received the phone. As pointed out earlier I've been paying for this contract however my money is clearly going to waste. Can someone please sort this matter out as a matter of urgency or am I going to continue paying for a service that has not been provided? This is a disappointment since I was assured that mtn would improve on the service delivery
