Port out of Cell C to Rain. Initiated 6 Nov 2024 - Rain.

Sequence of events:-

Port request was initiated 6 Nov 2024 via the RainGo log-in page. -2 x Port requests form Rain received via SMS. -SMS received from Cell C of these request. OTPs provided back to Cell C for both. Cell C confirmed via SMS receipt of both the OTPs. RainGo app was used various times on 8 Nov 2024 to follow-up on the status but no response. Then only an update on the RainGo app, at the individual sim cards, after the 2nd call to the call center. Porting failed. Rain customer service center was called on 8 & 9 Nov from my out of country (non-ZA) mobile number to try and resolve. 11 x Rain tickest logged in total via the app and via the Rain call centre. I made it clear to 2 x consultants, that my ZA number has no roaming, but whatsapp works. My out of country (non-ZA) mobile number was shared. Calling Rain, I was not able to get them to call back or send a written communication and advise what needs to be done to resolve this. All the consultants do with the issue is advising it will or was escalated, but with no follow thru. Being proactive, on 26 Oct 2024, I logged a query on the RainGo app on which day will be ideal to initiate the port request - also no response. The only thing I hear is "we are very sorry to hear" when any of the usable communication channels are used.

Rain. One number ported, but now outgoing calls do not work, this after the RainCall app was also downloaded. Moving over to RAIN has been the worst telecommunications experience I've encountered. As subject matter experts, RAIN falls short of customer satisfaction.

RAIN

I logged this issue at 7:30 of not being able to port via the mobile app or web app. Since then no one from RAIN has contacted me to resolve the issue and move forward with the port request, although the email from support metions "soon". The situation is still tue same on both apps.

Please use terms in emails that create the correct expectation. I fail to see how "SOON" cannot be addressed within 12 hours.

Rain. This is going nowhere. Why are the apps not working to request a port? What other methods can be used to port to RAIN other than the apps? I WANT to move forward with porting. Waiting more than 12hours for no resolition does not resolve the issue.
