THE WORST service ever!

I booked my phone in for repairs in October 2017 at the Clearwater mall store and I was assisted by Bongani.

After two weeks of not getting any feedback from the repair centre I followed up with the store. The Consultant was not helpful at all and avoided my calls. After numerous attempts I was assisted by Sbongile who then told me that the phone had been booked-in with an incorrect IMEI number by the sales assistant and was returned by the repair centre (this was already 3 weeks since I gave them the phone).

The phone was then returned to the repair centre on the 16th of November 2017. I spoke to the manager Bheki who promised to expedite the claim but never got back to me after that. My main issue here is that both Bheki and Sbongile always promise to provide feedback BUT never do that without me having to bombard them with calls.

I requested a detailed quote from the repair centre so that I may be able to forward it to the insurance company along with my claim form which to date I still have not received. To top it off, I was then told that the staff from could not provide the repair centre with proof that the phone was indeed bought from that shop (the contract could not be picked up on the system!).

I am going for a month now with no phone and no proper assistance from anyone. The Clearwater's MTN staff has provided me with terrible service and this seems to be the norm from the manager downwards.

I really cant wait for this contract to expire so that I may go to another service provider. I would DEFINITELY not recommend MTN to anyone in my networks.

Thank you for your post.

We sincere apologized for any inconvenience incurred.

We have sent the complaint to the Regional Store Managers to intervene.

Please contact the repair center on *** for online assistance they will require the IMEI number.

Kind Regards

Reviewer Update
Hi Alice I contacted MTN again this morning following up on an email i sent friday afternoon and still Bekitemba Mhlanga could not help me. He does not want to give me times line as to when I can expect feedback from him and says he will get back to me ( which they always say and never do). I asked him to escalate this, how there seems to be no sense of urgency with him. I am honestly frustrated with the service from MTN clearwater. This is not my first incident with the same store. My patience with MTN staff has worn thin and I am now waiting for the 24th of December which is when my contract expires so that I can cut all ties and go to a different network/ service provider. I need to know what to say to the repair centre consultant that will make things differently to what they are now. Maybe you can help me understand because currently i feel it will be a waste of my time since in the past they never assisted.
