No use for cell phone insurance

I have a contract with MTN and cell phone insurance. My IPhone 6 has been giving me trouble since April, it was sent for repairs and returned and seemed ok. In November the phone started giving me all sorts of problems. I can't make and receive calls, the phone freezes and reboots on its own all the time, the back of the phone gets extremely walm and the battery just lasts about 2/3 hours, I can't close the apps that was open. The phone went for repairs and all they did was replace the screen that's had a crack and said my memory is full that's why the phone is freezing. After having the phone back for 1 day it gave me all the above mentioned problems. I have this phone for 3 years and the second time im claming. What is even is worst is having to call the insurance and hold for 30 minutes. Last week I went back to Mtn who couldn't assit me and said I need to call the insurance and so I did. The consultant said I would get an sms as to when my phone will be collected so that it can go for repairs again....it's been 2 weeks and still no sms or communication from MTN. The sad part is that during this time I had a baby and really needed my phone. Mtn please get your insurance sorted as it sucks BIG TIME! Ps I have requested a new cell phone as well

Hi Mike, I appreciate your quick response, I can not receive calls on my MTN number but I can give an alternative number ********** 409, I can be reached on the above number. It's been extremely frustrating hence the Hellopeter post, I can't fathom the reason for the procrastination as I pay my contract and insurance on time for the past 3 years. I'd also like to know how or who do I speak to regarding a request for a new cell phone Cause this phone has been for repairs before. Thanks again Noeri D

So once again my phone went in for repairs but not much could be done because of my memory that was full and the technician could not help until I clearded or deleted some of my pictures which I think is ridicules because what does the memory have to do with making or receiving calls or my phone constantly rebooting on its own and the battery just lasts for about and hour or more. So I have deleted pics etc and have much more memory on my phone but still have the same problems. I was at MTN on Monday and spoke to insurance once again and still no collection of my phone again! It's beyond frustrating to have and Apple IPhone 6 but it surves no purpose!
