Rain poor technical service and customer response. 6 days with no service or response

It's six days after I received a rain Sim card and it is not showing any network signal since day one. I have called 3 to 4 times daily, send support emails and still no word frim them. The call centre staff are only trained to tell you a few things like robots: move around with your device to optimize, change APN and reset your device and send an escalation email to technical department. Technical department never responds so every time you call they take you through the same steps. It is clear that they have not connected me to the nearest satellites to my area but not even the supervisors can pick up the phone and call the technical department. The technical department appears not to even check if their infrastructure is working correctly or they totally rely on AI to decide even if it doesn't work for customers. The advent of customer care centres divorces companies from their responsibilities and frustrate and destroys the productivity of customers without compensation or improvement from these companies. They treat customers as technologically illerate while they fail even to collate a basic instruction pamphlet or leave room for complex problem-solving in their companies. The fact that customer care is not allowed to contact technical department by phone is beyond my understanding and the fact that supervisors promised to call back and never do shows very poor leadership and how companies are abusing customers by lack of access and direct communication and pure lack of professionalism.

Thanks for your response Mosa but why do they need to call me when the problem is fixing the network connection to my area my trust in your company is so low I don't even believe your promise and I don't want to be asked the questions I have answered before and know are not the problem. I don't envy your job as you can see from all the complaints about rain on this platform. Network infrastructure is i clearly a major issue in your company. You are not communicating the truth to the customers about your problem. As you can see I have been with you for quite a while and have communicated about the deterioration of the service from mid last year. You cannot expect me to pay for a connectivity that is limited to an area of a chair in my entire house and when I tell you this, your tech department does not take it seriously or act on it to solve it. If my network is not up and running today and of the quality I usef to havebwhen I started with rain years ago, I will write to the Minister and attached all the complaints on here for her to see the scale of the problem. I have written to ICASA already. I trust rain rain will do the right thing. You don't want any of us to organise the unhappy customers into a movement against your firm. What exactly do your tech head and CEO do and get paid for? I need a call or email from the two of them not someone from your call centre. Thank you and have a good day
