Pathetic after sales service

April last year I purchased a router (alcatel) and only activated the device/set-up October 2018. During the festive season, I exhausted my data and upon new data loaded (14 jan 2019) the device has not been in operation/in use due to technical issues. When I address ed this with the respective store (tygervalley) I was re-directed to Alcatel online service to load the inquiry. I have received no feedback or acknowledgement and the store refuses to refund me. Never mind the fact that my data has not been used since Jan 1019 as a result of the router not working. I would like to request refund given the R1K i had paid for availing a device for three months! I am more than willing to take this to the Ombudsman as R1K is a steep cost to just slide. Where is the after sales service? Why is the service provider/agent not taking responsibility for the product sold? Must one always resort to getting one's knickers in a knot before getting the desired outcome?

THERE HAS BEEN NO FURTHER FEEDBACK IN RESOLVING THIS COMPLAINT. DOES TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY NOT FORM PART OF YORU SERVICE DELIVERABLES? AM I TO ACCEPT THAT THERE IS NO SOLUTION WHEN IT COMES TO CLIENT RESOLUTION???
