Same repair issue/Inferior Loan Phone/Still Cutoff

This is the second time my Samsung A3 has randomly stopped working. This also made me late for work because weirdly enough I re**** on my phone for an alarm. Super irresponsible me.<br> <br> I took it in after going to 3 vodacom stores. Why 3? Because it was the third who actually had a replacement phone to give me. Albeit a phone which can only take sms and calls, oh and a really convenient calculator. But that's it. Manageable but pretty inconvenient. Here's the thing, I still had to pay either R30/R60 (doesn't really matter) but then an additional R90 for a super high tech sim card adapter. For those immune to sarcasm, its a piece of plastic that conveniently holds your nano sim to fit in to a pre WW2 phone. <br> <br> It took over 2 weeks for the phone to come back. But I actually kind of expected the phone to be fully replaced as I have only ever had this phone for 4 months at time because of this continuous issue. <br> <br> The issue now is that the \fixed"phone wont connect to the network (yes I also called the call center) no solution.<br> <br> I shouldn't need to justify my need for a phone that works"
