BAD SERVICE - SAMSUNG

I bought a new Samsung J4 Core Smartphone Black at Game stores on the 26 August 2020 and on Sunday the 13th September 2020 the screen just turned white. I have a protector screen over and the phone is 3 weeks old not even really been used for anything. I took the phone to Game store, Paarl and advised them of the problem the next thing the phone needs to be booked in for repair. How do you repair a brand new phone. I said to the lady (not a nice and friendly person) to ask for assessment only as this is still a new phone and the consumer act states that if found fault which there is otherwise it would of switch on and not stuck on the power and restart screen. She said that it is repair and my reply to her the phone is still brand new why should I have it repaired if not even a month old. I am so so disappointed in Samsung and want a new phone. My third day without a cellphone at work. I do not have any cellphone and had to buy a cheap phone where I can only take calls on as I cannot afford to buy another smart phone now. So Samsung what are you gonna do I need my phone back urgently.

Meanwhile I am still without a phone and no-one seems to care. I must now make use of other people for communication between me and my children. This is really not what I expected from Samsung. I always thought your devices were the best, but after this shocking discovery I am reconsidering now. You are not really providing any service for me. I am the one inconvenienced by you guys at the moment and no one seems to care. This is a big disappointment

STILL NO RESPONSE. I HAVE CALLED THE SERVICE AGENT AGAIN TODAY AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS NO PHONE WITH THIS IMEI NUMBER. I AM WITHOUT A PHONE AND MY WORK IS UNDER PRESSURE. AND JUST NO ONE CALLS. I WANT A NEW PHONE I CANNOT BE WITHOUT A PHONE.

AND STILL NO RESPONSE FROM SAMSUNG YOU KEEP ON UPDATING ME ON NEW PHONES BUT NOTHING ABOUT MY ONE. I DID YOUR JOB FOR YOU AND CALLED THE SERVICE AGENT THE PHONE IS FAULTY PLEASE ADVISE WHEN CAN I COLLECT MY NEW PHONE FROM GAME. I TRIED CALLING SUNET BUT HER PHONE IS CONSTANTLY ON VOICEMAIL "THE SUBSCRIBER YOU HAVE DIALLED IS NOT AVAILABLE". YOU SERVICE AGENT WANTS THE OK FROM HER TO EXCHANGE. BUT ACCORDING TO THE CONSUMER ACT IF FAULTY IS FOUND WITH THE PHONE I CAN REPAIR, EXCHANGE OR REFUND. IN THIS CASE I WANT A NEW PHONE. BUT I GUESS YOUR SERVICE IS JUST AS BAD AS GAME.
