MTN and Samsung poor customer service!

I sent my phone S8+ back on the 2nd of Jan 2019, for repairs till today the 22nd Feb i have been getting the run around and noone bothers to update on the status! First off the phone is supposed to be water resistant for 30mins under 1.5m water with no issues, mine wasn't even under water for that long but lo and behold it glitches shows a green screen and switches off. When i followed up the first time turns out they were sitting on it because they sent an email with a quote that they wanted me to pay so they can fix the phone! This despite all their adverts of people jumping in pools with the phone etc. I disputed this quote stating the facts they falsely present on their ads then they decided to put it back under warranty and fix it, promise was that it would be done by Fri 15th Feb 2019 and ready for pick up. I follow up today and seems they are only fixing it today and will "hopefully " be done by Monday...which i sincerely doubt! Its been 2 months and i am paying for this product yet I'm not using it for 2 months!! MTN simply gives all the blame to Samsung and has us do our own follow up despite the fact that we purchased the phone through them! Below is the track of the people and days i contacted Samsung with no effect. S8+ False advertising! 05 feb -Spoke with Barbra, service department adv they sent email on 25th Jan after having submitted the phone on the 2nd of Jan - Soke with Samsung Donnie, repairs technician adv will cb tomorrow mornin - Asking to pay R9000 - Follow up ********** 779 Samsung repairs. 06th feb- Barbara... ********** 103 refrence for the voc/customer service 07th feb - Ezrom transferred to cellphone department -Bubele explained story again, he adv he can't get any feedback as VOC close at 5pm. Despite promising a cb after 24 hrs. Ref to Khanyi her mgr is Nadine. - Tue 12th Noone called since fri, went into MTN store and dealt with Ricardo - SW Linda call cut off, she called back and adv she will cb tomorrow 12:30pm - Fri 22nd feb spoke to Nadeem adv phone is still at the service center and is calling to follow up and will cb once he has the info. -Nadeem calls back adv phone is being fixed today then will be sent for testing and will possibly be in store by Mon 25th
