MTN Sucks!

I have a contract with MTN where I should receive my bundles on the 5th of each month as confirmed at MTN Retail Park, East London. This did not happen. On Monday, 11/02/2019 staff submitted a query and was to respond within an hour. By Saturday, 16/02/2019, on my second visit to MTN Retail Park, I was told that P.E. had not yet responded. I had to submit a new customer query via their cellphone. I have since logged a complaint via MTN "contact us" and via e-mail. MTN's response on my complaint was that my complaint had been resolved, which is not true. So I had to again visit MTN and they again logged a query. Their latest response dated today, 24/02/2019, is that they have escalated my query with ref 1- ********** 0313 to their support team for assistance and that I must allow a turn around time of 2 to 48 working hours - that could be another 6 week days (48 / 8 = 6 days) and by then my new airtime and data should be near being loaded. This means that I have been purchasing airtime and data bundles for the last 3 weeks and also using my e-mail on another account and TELKOM to communicate. Other reference numbers include 74374, 1- ********** 1028 (I was never given a ref no on my first query).

And then they have the audacity to thank me for my patience! It is unprofessional to be communicating with my clients and then a call gets cut because of air time running out because I buy air time and data as if I am on pay as you go!

feedback: I received an SMS from MTN today stating that my query has been resolved , which is not true. On visiting MTN I was told that the query has actually just been escalated to the next department. I was also told not to come back to MTN as they would phone me if they had any news for me.

And then the query was resolved, reopened, and resolved again on the 26/02/2019, but all in vain. I still have no data or air time.
