the101 is NOT THE ONE

I recently purchased the new “the101” rain router. Delivery was done promptly by CCD couriers. Once the package was delivered I then unpacked everything and tried to connect the wifi. After doing some research I learnt that the activation takes about 2-24 hours, so I waited. After about 3 hours of waiting I then called the rain call centre and was advised that the courier was supposed to tica the SIM cards and send through an activation sms. I then called CCD couriers and got connected to the guy who had made the delivery. The guy was shocked to hear that he was responsible for activating the router as well as to Rica the SIM cards as according to him his job was done once he had delivered the goods and taken a picture of my ID and proof of residency. I then decided to wait for 24 hours to laps. The following morning I called Rain and they asked for the serial number of the router as well as the 2 SIM cards and got told they would activate them. I then asked why couldn’t they have done this from the onset and got told it sometimes connects in 24 hours. It’s now been over an hour since I last spoke to the consultant and there has been no activation sms come through and Iam still without wifi but my money has been received.

That is what I was told 2 hours ago and I can not believe how this has escalated and has now affected my work too. The amount of money I have spent calling your customer support since yesterday and being sent from post to pillar has been so unnecessary. What baffles me is how you guys wanted to shift the blame onto CCD couriers. Why don’t you just make a follow up call once delivery has been made and ensure that the client is connected, there isn’t even a manual in the box showing you what to do I had to go onto youtube and see what needs to happen. At one point I had one of the sim cards in the actual router not knowing that the SIM card for the router is preloaded… you guys are not making life any easier for your customers and should re look at this new activation process. As I continue to wait for the activation sms and to finally connect onto the Rain WiFi

20:46 day 2 after I have received the NOT SO “101the one” I hope this day will be subtracted from the prorata amount that I have paid already cause Iam still not connected. No activation SMS no follow up email or call nothing just nothing…. Rain taking Customer care to a whole another 6G level Wowzers
