The mind boggles

<p>I would like to cancel my contract. I have been trying to get this done since March.</p> <p> </p> <p>On the 10th of May I sent a mail about this to ********** (Ref # ********** 2). Thamsanqa Madikane rep**** that I should phone 808. I rep**** asking what he suggests a deaf person do. No reply. And I received bouncebacks on various emails subsequently sent including 10 March, 14 March, 26 March. This includes the customercare and webmaster e-mail addresses. I've also sent my query to 44303 (it's a lie they don't reply). We then tried the 808 route... they just never answer when you upgrade/cancellations and then cancellations and eventually get cut off. I then tried the formal complaint route on 3 April. They promised to try to provide feedback in 5 working days. I'm still waiting. </p> <p>They just make it impossible to cancel this contract. I'm sure this much be in breach of the NCR regulations. I have however received 39 calls from MTN's call centre wanting to upgrade me.</p> <p>MTN will make you lose the will to live. I do not understand how they remain operational. Basic processes and channels are completely broken - they are operational despite themselves. </p>

I'm not sure I understand. My complaint is that I am either not getting through to customer care or that when I do get through to customer service they do not respond and your suggested solution is to contact customer care?

I contacted customer care again today requesting a debit order day change. Pauline Tambo assisted me. She was so friendly and helpful I almost cried - this was so unexpected, so far it has been a ********** experience. I mentioned to her that I've been struggling to cancel my contract and she offered to contact the cancellations department on behalf and she also gave me a reference number! Thank you Pauline. 10 stars for Pauline, for everyone else I had to deal with... 0.
