UNACCEPTABLE SERVICE

Extremely Disappointed with Service – Unacceptable Experience

I rarely take the time to write public complaints, but the service I’ve received from this provider has been nothing short of appalling — and I believe others deserve to be warned.

It took weeks just to cancel the service. Endless back-and-forth, no clear direction, and a complete lack of urgency from the support team.

After finally cancelling, I was told couriers would collect the router. That part was oddly efficient. However…

Out of the blue, a debit order went off for a monthly payment — even though the service has not been in use for months. This is a pay-to-use agreement, and there was no usage. No warning. Just money taken.

When I contacted support to reverse the charge, they managed to delete one of my SIM cards entirely without performing a SIM swap. This has now made my number unretrievable — a number I’ve used and intended to keep.

I went to the Queenswood store to try and resolve it face-to-face, only to find a visibly furious police officer dealing with the exact same problem. Clearly, this is not an isolated incident.

While in store, they activated a refund. I was promised it would reflect shortly. A week later — nothing. No follow-up, no refund.

To top it all off, calling the service line is a waste of time. You are directed to a foreign call center where the agents repeat the same scripted lines and offer no actual help or escalation process.

I’ve lost money, a personal phone number, and an enormous amount of time. The lack of accountability, transparency, and professionalism is deeply concerning.

To anyone considering using this provider: proceed with extreme caution. I sincerely hope this company takes these repeated complaints seriously and re-evaluates how they treat paying customers.

This contract was pay to use| pay as you go | pay the premium and you have internet. Don't pay you cannot use it meaning you pay the premium per month and then you have access to the internet. This router and internet has not been used since February. Thus no service was active. I also have numerous text messages that state "pay now to reinstate your service".

How can I pay for a service that I don't use? You also say now that a refund will not be scheduled yet in store they "issued" it. Perhaps they just say it to appease the clients.

It does not clarify anything. Look at my records of how many times I used the chat bot to communicate with a consultant, then phone calls then in store visits to resolve this

This private reply was sent by RAIN this morning. Do not sign up with this provider, nothing is done in a well and in order way after you have signed up.

Rain’s reply22 Jul 2025 at 09:04Hi Liezel,

Please note that rain bills are for an active service. We can see that you sent a cancellation request on June 4, 2025, and your service was scheduled to cancel at the end of the month, based on the terms and conditions.

rain reserves the right at any time to Suspend, limit, modify or Cancel your Service (or any part or content thereof) without notice due to non-payment of subscription charges and other fees on your account(s).

The outstanding amount on your account was your arrears, and you were liable for the outstanding amount.

Again, the service is not active if the router as well as x2 sims cards cannot be accessed with wifi. Router; unlimited wifi PLUS X2 simcards with 2gb data & call minutes each. This is common sense. Why would I cancel the internet if it was a pay as you use? I cancelled it after we moved into a residential complex with wifi included

I also did not keep all the numerous ticket proofs. Surely you can log into my profile and see the amount of times I conected an agent as well as the in store visits?
