Stop Apologising for the inconvenience & do something.

Rain 5G is absolutely brilliant when it works. I must however add the very disappointing fact that it’s by no means plug & play as advertised. We subscribed to the rain network less than a month ago. It took 3 days to activate despite the courier taking care of the whole RICA process. Rain never activated the sim on their side and getting a technician to provide feedback is non existent. We are now in a situation where despite being paid in advance our 5G network is off since Sunday 10/10/2021 and with numerous calls to the absolutely poorly trained and limited actioning call centre we are still without a resolution as to what the issue is. Rain claims to address technical issues in 2 to 24 hours. We are now siting at 72 hours and counting without the logged tickets and call references even being assigned to a technician. Rain has the worst after market care in the universe, never mind South Africa. Nobody at the call centre provides feedback on a issue, nor can timeframes be provided to resolve and even when the 2 to 24 hour time lines are provided its merely a number as everything seems to be escalated to supposed technician who either swamped with issues, not at work or who’s internet is also down. The technical department cannot be phoned only mailed. Rain I know it’s a cliche, but even a single star for customer satisfaction is overrated. When will my issues be sorted? I will keep all updated on how long this issue takes. Rain is very close to losing another very unhappy client.

We can also see we are active when looking at our profile on the rain network. However the red light on the router suggests no network and when logging into the device via the ZTE app it reports a sim card issue / no sim inserted. When will the field agent be scheduled for as I’m the person who will have to meet with them as my wife can’t take off work. Kindly advise

We have responded to the mail questionnaire sent by Rain and the submitted info is relevant to both my wife and I. We await feedback on the scheduling of the field agent in order to make arrangements and meet with him. Kindly advise.

From experience, what is the average response time for the field agent to respond to these issues.

Kindly advise on the eta of the field agent. This is again turning into one of these 2 to 24 hour standard responses which wont be resolved within the next 48 hours. We have been without service since Sunday 10/10/2021. I require feedback now. We are done waiting.

I require the direct contact details for the Technical Manger at rain. Please provide the info. My next recourse will be to come to the corporate office in Sandton to have a meeting with whoever can solve my issue TODAY.

Satisfactory feedback is required before 15H00 today. If not I’ll be at the Rain offices at 16H00 to have my issue sorted out.
