RAIN REFUSING TO HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

How long must I wait for an agent to call me to assist with this dam Rain sim card I received on the 7th February and it still has no internet. I've been emailing Rain daily for assistance straight from my email and via the rain go app. Every time the query gets escalated but nobody calls me or send an email to confirm if they can assisted or enquire if I've been assisted. The month hasn't even passed yet but I receive an email on the 15th of February to remind me about payment. But there customer service is so poor and pathetic. This is extremely frustrating that is nobody can do a follow up to assist me. You want to tell me since the 7th of February not one agent saw my direct emails or my escalated emails. How pathetic Rain? I needed the card for this week which was of high importance to me to have it sorted by Monday 17th February 2025. Don't expect me to make any payment if I don't get assisted. Because how do you pay for something that you never used. I will be going to social media today as well as Hello Peter because this is pathetic service that since the 7th I'm making contact with Rain and my dam query is not sorted. If I call it gets escalated if I email via the rain go app it gets escalated, if I send an email directly from my email I get no response on any 3 ways of communication. So what do I do now I will go make my voice heard on social media and Hello Peter to let people out there know about your pathetic customer service for 12 days that I've been emailing & calling Rain, rain refuses to assist me with a sim card that says no internet. I've tried doing it on my own but not getting it right. Why don't you just make the sim cards a pop in the phone and use immediately why do I have to struggle with this dam sim card. I've used Rain before and had no problems my previous sim that got lost I didn't have this problems. I expect that this gets sorted today or I will be coming to your offices.

This sim card still says no internet days after rain sends this message. What is wrong with Rain if I put a other sim card into my router it works perfectly. How can I be without internet access for almost a month. But month end they expect payment. This is pathetic and disgusting never ever have I experienced such bad pathetic customer service. Rain are you going to fix this internet issue today or what the hell is your story!!!!!! Up until today nobody called me to apologize or follow up if I am sorted with my query or take me through the process.

The router I'm using is a Huawei E5572 - 321 mobile wifi router. I've used this router before with my other simcard. All other networks works in this router. I've even tried a friend's rain simard in my router and it worked. I've done the above resetting I dont know what is wrong here. Why cant an agent call me and take me through the process. I have the sim card almost a month & I couldnt use it once. I need someone to call me and confirm what number is activated on Rain's side because somewhere there is a miscommunication. I need a Rain agent to call me today!!!!! I'm tired of this nonsense now emailing is getting me no where. I cant believe that Rain cant & refuses to call me to assist or follow up. Was this Vodacom, MTN or Cell C they would of called me long ago and the sim card would of been working. I didnt experience this with my previous sim card I lost. I received the sim card I put it in the mobile wifi modem and it worked immediately with no problems.

When do you want to call me Rain!!!!!!!

Good day

I had the sim card in my phone since Wednesday and it doesn't allow me any internet access. I put off the Wi-Fi option on the phone. I put on the mobile data option is on of the rain sim card. The APN says Rain. I received Rain settings and saved that using the password 1234 that they said I should use. I basically followed every step possible.

Can you confirm what cell number is activated on Rain's side. As per the reply above I've attached a screenshot of the message and also of the setup of the rain sim card settings on my phone. I hope this helps and will get sorted asap.

Thanks

It's 14:53 and still no call from Rain today as promised. Pathetic customer service I tell you. Me calling Rain doesnt resolve anything because I must speak to a robot and explain my situation over and over again.

Why is my account showing that I owe R165.48 when in the above messages Rain mentioned that my account is clear. Because there is a message saying that if that amount isn't paid my services will be disconnected.
