Take my phone back due to a mistake on MTN side and not sending it back or provinding any feedback :(

I initially did an upgrade through the MTN Direct call centre on the 8th of August for a Samsung S8+ and was advised that the phone would be delivered within 5-7 working days. The upgrade deal included a free tablet, which the call centre agent assured me would not come with the delivery but would have to be claimed via the Samsung Rewards application on the phone. I made arrangements with the courier company for delivery. I had to cancel a day of leave in order to be at the office to take delivery. Courier never pitched. The delivery was then re-scheduled and eventually received the phone. A few days later I was busy setting up my phone and the same call centre agent phoned me to say that they had made a mistake and the tablet actually was supposed to come with the delivery. I then requested her to send me the tablet seperately. Apparently this is not an option. I had to return my phone to the nearest MTN direct shop and the would then send me a new phone with a tablet. I even requested that they send the courier with the correct package and we simply do a swop. Also not an option. Really stupid process to be honest! I kept calm and returned the phone to Carnival Mall MTN Direct shop and was cc'd on a mail requesting the phone to be collected. This was on the 27th of August 2017. I have since called the call centre numerous times to request an update on the progress and I have had 2 calls being dropped in my ear, told me that the call centre agent that initially assisted me would phone me back with an update. I have been promised 3 times that she would phone me back. No call received as of yet. She is simply not interested in helping me or I am missing something.

I am really hoping someone can help me just get my phone, this is really hampering my business at the moment!

Happy to report the debit order went through. Still no phone. Still no feedback. Really wishing I never sent the phone back for the stupid tablet! Is it possible to cancel everything so I can just port my number to another provider please?

Still not a word on this. I am really concerned now and feel like something has gone wrong and nobody is willing to notify me of what the actual issue is.
