Mweb service utterly pathetic

I find your service utterly pathetic. I have nearly waisted all my airtime on the 1st day of the month on hold for support, and been trying on the app for over 2hours, after mweb have completely reshuffled my account the wrong way.

I will be contacting ISPA, I have lost my email address after I have spoken to a consultant and was assured I would not.

This is not on, I have month bills to pay and receive communication through my email

Today I sat on hold being "first" in the que for 2hrs38min. I try using the mweb chat app and its worse. I took a screen shot of the amount of time on hold. Your customer service is non existent. You have billed me wrong and I am trying to rectify it! My customer number ***.

Hi Gareth, we understand how frustrating it must have been to wait over two hours on hold, especially while trying to resolve a billing issue that has already caused inconvenience. That’s not the level of service we aim to deliver, and we do hear your frustration clearly. We’ve now requested our billing team to urgently investigate your account (Customer number: ***) and assist with reviewing and correcting the billing concern you’ve raised. They will pick this up and work through the discrepancy to ensure it is properly resolved. We’ll keep the matter with the billing team until it has been fully actioned and addressed. Kind regards,
 The Mweb Team 

Best regards,

Hi Gareth, we hear your frustration, especially given the repeated follow-ups and the lack of response from the billing team. We understand how unacceptable it feels to be waiting this long without clear feedback as a paying customer. A further follow-up has now been submitted to the Billing Team and flagged for urgent attention so it can be prioritised and actioned without further delay. We are actively pushing for a response to be provided to you as soon as possible. We’ll continue monitoring this closely and ensure you’re updated as soon as feedback is received. Kind regards,
 The Mweb Team

It is now the 15/5 and still no reply. This is what I am talking about. You can't complain about the service because there is no service from MWEB!

Hi Gareth,
It’s completely understandable that you`re feeling this way and recognise how discouraging this experience has been, especially as a paying customer trying to get this matter resolved.
We have reached out again to the Billing Team and reiterated the urgency of your case. The lack of feedback to date has been noted, and we’ve requested that this be prioritised and responded to directly so you are not left without answers any longer.
We are here to help and will continue pushing internally until you receive the feedback you’ve been waiting for.
Kind regards,
Mweb Team
