Poor Customer service

Subject: Urgent Complaint: Incorrect Billing, Missing SIM Card & Poor Service Dear Rain Customer Service, I am writing to lodge a formal complaint regarding my account and the ongoing issues I have experienced with your service. 1. Incorrect Billing / Package Price The package I originally chose was approximately R400 and some change. However, I am currently being charged around R625 for my home router and SIM card. I do not understand this increase and have not agreed to such a high amount. I request a full explanation of: • What package I am currently on • Why the amount is R625 instead of the ~R400 package I selected • A full itemised statement for the past 12 months 2. SIM Card Never Received After Being ****** I was kidnapped last year and my SIM card was taken during this incident. I reported this to Rain and requested a replacement SIM card. Despite this, we are now in February of the following year and I still have not received a new SIM card. • I have been paying every month for a service I cannot use. • I request an immediate investigation into what happened with my SIM replacement request. • I also request a refund or credit for all months in which I was billed but could not use the service due to not having a SIM card. 3. Network / Router Issues and Faulty Route My colleague has also experienced problems where Rain apparently set up a faulty route that did not pick up the signal correctly, and despite complaining, nothing was resolved. This reflects extremely poorly on Rain’s technical support and customer service. It seems many other customers online are also unhappy and feel ignored. 4. Poor Customer Service & Harassing Payment Calls Despite all these issues, your team continues to call and insist on payment, yet my main problems (missing SIM, incorrect billing, network issues) are not being addressed. This makes me feel that Rain does not respect or prioritise its customers. I chose Rain even though there are many cheaper service providers available, but this experience has been extremely disappointing. I request the following actions within 7 working days: 1. A written explanation of my current package and why I am paying R625 instead of the ~R400 package I chose. 2. Immediate resolution of the SIM card issue (replacement SIM card activated and delivered, or cancellation of the line without penalty if you cannot resolve this). 3. A refund or account credit for all months where I paid for a service I could not use. 4. Confirmation of any corrections made to my account and billing going forward. If this matter is not resolved promptly and fairly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint to the relevant consumer protection bodies and consider moving to another service provider. Please respond to this email in writing so I have a clear record of your response. Kind regards, Langelihle Alex Khanyile

Reviewer Update

Hi Rain,


I am still waiting for proper feedback and a real solution regarding my complaint above. Your last response was on 12 February 2026, but since then I have received no meaningful update or resolution.


In summary, the issues are:

1. Incorrect billing – I selected a package of around R400, but I am being charged about R625. I still have no clear explanation of:
• What package I am currently on
• Why the amount is R625 instead of the ~R400 I chose
• A full itemised statement for the past 12 months
2. SIM card never received – My SIM was taken when I was kidnapped. I reported this to Rain and requested a replacement SIM, but to date I still have not received it. I have been paying every month for a service I cannot use.
3. Refund/credit – I have requested a refund or account credit for all the months where I paid for a service I could not use, but this has not been addressed.
4. Poor communication and service – Your team keeps asking for payment, but my core issues (incorrect billing and missing SIM) remain unresolved.

You mentioned that there are multiple Rain profiles under my details. To help you locate the correct account, here are my details:

• Full name: Langelihle Alex Khanyile
• Email: ***
• Contact number: [insert your phone number here]
• ID number / account number: [insert ID or Rain account number here]

Please urgently:

1. Confirm which account you are investigating.
2. Provide a written explanation of my package and charges.
3. Confirm the status of my replacement SIM and when it will be delivered and activated.
4. Confirm the refund/credit for all months I paid for a service I could not use.

I expect a detailed written response within 7 working days. If this is not resolved, I will escalate the matter to the relevant consumer protection bodies and consider moving to another provider.
