New mobile device not received

I app**** for a new mobile contract on the 16th of February 2018 and I received my device within 4 days. As per the contractual terms and wordings of the contract a customer can return their device within 7 working days to upgrade their device. I logged in a request to change devices and the request was approved. The courier company collected the phone from my homeplace two weeks ago and to this day I still have not received any correspondence from Telkom indicating when I am going to get my new device. I have called Telkom on a daily basis (20 minutes on a daily basis), I am sure I have spoken to every representative within the call centre but I keep getting stupid answers or reasons from the customer service representatives. One told me that my device is being delivered, one told me the new request has not been loaded, one told me that I should give them a week and now its more than two weeks.

Reviewer Update
Once again, Telkom delivered a device to my home address while I was at work. I was very excited and I could not wait to have my hands on the phone, when I got home I opened the box with excitement only to find the same incorrect device. This is starting to **** me off, after two months of waiting for a device, they still get it wrong. The call centre is also not very helpful, my calls are redirected from 10210 to 10213 to 10210 to 081180. Is this how you treat your customers? Is this how the best mobile service providers treat their customers? Do we need to involve the Ombudsman and the Nation Credit Regulator before you fix your inefficient processes? I am phoneless and currently paying for a device that I cannot use due to inefficiencies by Telkom
