Pathetic customer "Care"

On the 3rd of April I app**** for a mobile contract form my company at MTN Fleurdal, Bloemfontein. At the time, I was told that I'd get a decision later that same afternoon, or the following morning (04/04/2018) at the latest. Between the 3rd of April and today (30 days later) I have not received any feedback from MTN on whether my application was approved or not. I have called the store six times so far, and always get the exact same response: "we'll check and get back to you" - needless to say, that has never happened.

I even emailed them on the "Contact Us" form on their website and didn't get even so much as acknowledgement of receipt. I sent them a message on Facebook, and the last response was on the 16th of April saying "we'll check and get back to you".

Today I went back to the store where I had app****, and was told that my application has been "terminated" and I'll have to re-apply (they couldn't give me a reason for the "termination").

Maybe it's a good thing they gave me this kind of pathetic service at application, rather than after taking out a contract with them! MTN have demonstrated to me that they don't care about customers!

Good day MTN, It seems like all I'll ever get from you is "we'll call you back". Last Thursday I called the number as you suggested. Xolile at "Customer Care" (they don't care, but that's what you call them) told me she was sending an email to Legal, and they would call me back. Well, it's been six days and that call STILL hasn't come through! There truly IS no care for customers at MTN.
