I DON'T WANT THEM TO GIVE ME ANY MONEY. ALL I WANT FROM THEM IS FAIRNESS. SINCE ISSA FROM THEIR TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT HAD Identified the problem I want them to Credit me with the DATA USED SINCE I ALREADY HAVE THEIR SIM CARD OR they must calculate my subsc

Good morning

I reported my intermittent net work to Rain on Tuesday 29 November 2025. On WEDNESDAY 30th they sent a Technician by the name of Crescens. He did whatever he did and confirmed that all was well.

After he left I realized that I was still having issues, I tried to contact him and he never returned my calls. I contacted RAIN again yesterday. I spoke to Issa who confirmed that they have to change the NETWORK TOWER TO Wee 878 I AM CURRENTLY USING BECAUSE IT IS CONGESTED. She said she was forwarding my case to another department (SEE BELOW). No one has contacted me. Up to now I have spent 35 Gigs from another Network (AND BY THE TIME THIS IS RESOLVED IT WILL BE MORE THAT) . It is not the first time that this is happening. The first time it happened I paid Pro Rata as they realised that the problem was on their side.

The second time they refused to pay anything telling me I should have continued using their Network (SIM CARD). I asked them how was that going to be feasible as their network was giving problems and that forced me to purchase DATA FROM A DIFFERENT NETWORK. They were unable to answer that.

I DON'T WANT THEM TO GIVE ME ANY MONEY. ALL I WANT FROM THEM IS FAIRNESS. SINCE ISSA FROM THEIR TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT HAD Identified the problem I want them to Credit me with the DATA USED SINCE I ALREADY HAVE THEIR SIM CARD OR they must calculate my subscription in a PRO RATA FORMAT. I DONT HAVE A CLUE ABOUT WHEN THEY WILL SEND THE TECHNICIAN and by that time I would have used more DATA. They MUST TELL ME HOW THEY ARE GOING TO COMPENSATE ME FOR THE DATA THAT I HAD TO BUY AS IT'S A FULL WEEK and I CAN NOT USE THEIR SERVICES HENCE THAT IS FORCING ME TO USE ANOTHER NETWORKS SERVICES

Yes I had intermittent connection as previously stated. Can you provide me with the proof of what you are saying from Sunday to today.

What is connected is the sim card on the phone not in the ROUTER. I explained to ISSA that I am unable to move around the Router as it is connected to an Outside Extender.

Can you please send a Technician to come and sort that out. I am a customer not the one to be moving the Router around. So please let us not waste each other's time just send a Technician.

So in the meantime what do I do? I told you I haven't been connected and you continued to say I am connected. When I asked for proof of that you said I am connected to the Tower in (Barkly Street and St Frusquin Street) which is in JHB.

YOU SENT THE MESSAGE BELOW TO CONFIRM IF IT IS MY RIGHT AND I CONFIRMED THAT YES IT IS. AND THERE AFTER YOU STOPPED CLAIMING THAT I AM CONNECTED BUT YOU WANT ME TO WAIT AGAIN. AFTER YOU HAVE **** DO YOU THINK THIS IS THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE?

I have requested that let us not waste each other's time. If you have read your messages you wouldn't be asking me oku kunya undi buza Kona. Yesterday and today my router is completely off the network.

If you are asking me that when you were claiming that I am connected to the Tower in (Barkly Street and St Frusquin Street) which is in JHB what were you seeing?

Good morning
From 10H00 this morning I will be attending meetings. I have a tight schedule and am unable to confirm the time I will be done. Can you please send a Technician so that we can be done with this matter.

Atleast I hope they know that this issue has been outstanding since Monday and their records should be showing them that this is a follow up issue as they had sent a Technician to my address last week Wednesday.

I was told on Tuesday that yesterday I am going to receive a call from your technical Department of which I never received. When I informed you about that you responded by saying they close @ 17H00. At 17H21 I informed you that no one has called me and no one bothered to respond.

Are you still waiting for feedback? On Wednesday your Call Centre called me to apologise for the inconvenience that you have caused. By the mere fact that you can call me and acknowledge the inconvenience you had caused to me, to me it meant you got the report from your Technical Team.

She further went on to say your Billing Department is still busy counting how much Pro-Rata should be calculated for the entire week I was inconvenienced and for them to find a way to reimburse me for the costs incurred during that time.

All of you have been promising to get back to me and I am still waiting. I won't give up the fight until I get what is due to me.

Do you understand the impact of this 4minutes spat doing to your Brand or let me say BRAND IMAGE. OR YOU ARE JUST ONE OF THOSE CALL CENTRE AGENTS WHO CANNOT USE ###COMMON SENSE###? IF YOU SEE EVERYTHING FROM YOUR SIDE WHY IS IT NOT REFLECTING ON MY SIDE?

THE INFORMATION THAT IS THERE IS THE ONE OF LAST MONTH OF WHICH WE ARE TALKING ABOUT? IF I CANNOT SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING HOW AM I GOING TO CONTROL USAGE? HOPEFULLY YOU CAN GO AND LEARN ABOUT THE CAUSES OF BRAND LOYALTY. FOR ME THIS SPAT IS NOT A PROBLEM AS I AM FIGHTING FOR WHAT I PAID FOR AND EXPOSING YOUR *****EDNESS. EVEN IF IT WAS 1 MINUTE I WOULD STILL BE FIGHTING FOR IT AS IT FORMS PART OF WHAT I PAID FOR. FREE ADVICE IS THAT YOU SHOULD GO AND STUDY CUSTOMER RELATIONS.
