Cell C
Reviews and Complaints

Dear CellC,

It is with great dissatisfaction that I send this email. Cfibre is by far the worst company to deal with on any customer issues, so much so that I truly believe you are taking people for a ride.

I’m honestly glad that I managed to move my fibre supplier to another provider, I’d rather spend my R10 788 a year to customer focused provider who is able to resolve customer related issues but honest worst company I’ve ever dealt with but I’m sure you don’t care regardless

I’ve been trying to get a refund for months and I’m still not assisted. I’ve spoken to consultants, supervisors, line managers you name it. I have a list of names of people I’ve spoken to who all promised to follow up on my issues and get it resolved and yet I still had to call in myself today and speak to yet another consultant.

I don’t know what else to do. Either your staff need training or your business processes needs to change, but honestly I have nothing good to say about my experience being a client.

Just do better!

Regards

Good day

I have made payment via easy pay 29th April 2022. Up untill today your customer service department is of no help to me with the pathetic service i received. I have very frustrated as a client of cell c for many years now.

I have made a payment of R4600 to bring the account up to date after being in arrears for 4 months. I have been notified my number has been deactivated permanently how is that even possible with the account being soft?

I want to what happened to my payment as it can not be detected

Then I received an email on 6th May confirming payment was received and will be allocated. Today I call to find out no payment update. Was referred to collections department then to legal but just ringing. Why is this process so frustrating and delayed. No professionalism and poor customer service. This is pathetical.

I have made a a call to request for an ITC number for a stolen phone, I need this number urgently as I rented the phone and there is a insurance claim that needs to be finalized with the ITC number, however I have now called Cell C 4 times to follow up as it has been a week after my first call and I was advised that I will be contacted with the needed ITC number, I am being charged on a daily basis as this phone was a rental and every day I wait for Cell C I pay for a phone that I do not have.

I have been unfairly billed and listed due to the incompetance of Cell C when i was informed of a cancellation window of my contract upgrade and which i did cancel with the specified period.I have made numerous attempts to Cell C to resolve the matter but was not satified at all.

Hi i have been requesting a paid up letter for the last month and a half now in what should've taken 48 hours as stated in their emails but haven't recieved anything regarding a paid up letter despite calling in countless times about the issue

This has been affecting my credit record because there is an account on their (Cell c) that should be there anymore because I've settled that account last year already

Phone given in to pavilion store for repairs - software issue. Quote for 8000 to fix which j declined 6 weeks ago and my request was to send the phone back to store so I can collect. After numerous calls to repairs, and supervisor khosikona phone has still not been returned and received. I've reversed my debit order and will not pay until I receive my samsung s20 ultra. The salesperson at cell c tried to assist me but even she was not successful. The service that the cell c store gives is exceptional but the repairs department is a complete waste of time. I am not paying another cent to cell c until I receive my samsung s20 ultra or receive an indication as to where my phone is... I honestly believe my phone is lost or stolen from that end... Repairs as it does not take 6 weeks to courier a phone from jhb to durban.

Supervisor is not helpful, call centre isn't helpful, maybe they will give this some attention if they do not receive payment. Poor pathetic service and really has let the cell c brand down... I've been a customer for years and I am ready to change because of this.

I've found professions

Hoping that you can please assist us with this problem that we are struggling to get a solution from you. My contract with Cell C ended and when I tried to trade my iPhone in at the Apple store, they informed me that it is black listed. At no point did I ask for this phone to be blacklisted. Why was it blacklisted given that I own the phone as it is fully paid for?

Several unsuccessful calls to Cell C, calls being dropped and generally unhelpful service. Finally today they tell me that they cannot find my phone number or the IMEI of the iPhone. This is impossible. Surely records are kept. I still have 2 phone numbers on the same account with Cell C.

I need this phone to be removed from your black list by the end of this weekend.

I have sent my claims on the 13th of April 2022, where i have sent my 2 claims for my Huawei P40 Lite & Huawei Madpad tablet.

I have discovered that Cell C agent didn't broke my Huawei P 40 Lite, i had to call again cell c to let them broke my lost device. My challenge come when insurance told me that I have broke my Huawei P40 LITE after 24 hrs of which it was not my fault. I have sent them my correct documents on the 18 April 2022, where I was told that my claim had been sent to review department up to now there's no feedback.

2nd issue is on my Huawei Madpad which was approved on the 20 April 2022 and I have paid my excess amount on the 22 April 2022, up to now I haven't received my device.

i am someone who does business using my devices, so if Cell c treat me like this it's a challenge!

On 03.04.2022 we went to Cape Gate Cell C for application of my upgrade - we chose a phone - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. The consultant was very helpful and advised that should I do my upgrade on that day my pro-rata amount would be very high and advised that I should come back on 14.04.2022 to check.

The consultant subsequently took the required instrument from stock and clearly marked it with my details - when back at the store on 14.04.2022 she still showed us that the package was still sealed and clearly marked with my details. The pro-rata was still high (just onto R800.00) - she then advised that is would be better to collect the instrument on 30.04.2022 when my pro-rata would be substantially lower - we agreed and left.

On Saturday 30.04.2022 I contacted the consultant again to advise that we would be collecting that day. This is then that she advised she had explained to her store manager : Maxeen Thirsten to please not sell the sell the phone as it was reserved for me and the reason as to why it was to be kept.

Another consultant : Gerryn Cloete subsequently sold the phone and not the store manager nor the Regional Manager : Tiaan Naude showed much interest in what had happened. I requested that the RM please contact me and nobody did.

Now I have put into writing that I am dissatisfied with your services and they don't seem to be trying to source me another phone. I have been with Cell C for over 16 years and now this is the service that I get.

The phone was on promotion and ear buds as well - now this promotion is coming to an end and also the buds promo has ended!

Do I start looking for another service provider?

Is this matter going to be resolved?

Am I still going to get my phone as PROMISED on the promotion as well as the buds?

This remains to be seen!

I applied for a phone contract online on April 12th 2022, it was approved and finalized. It was said that I would receive it within a week , its May 3rd 2022 and I still haven't received my order yet. Its becoming an inconvenience on my side because I need the phone urgently.

Dear Team,

I was last a Cell-C customer over 7 years ago. I have found that every month, Cell-C removes R65.00 from my account. I have tried to raise this directly with Cell-C but have not received any response. I am not able to get through to Cell-C telephonically as I have to use my "customer number" which of course I don't have.

This is the last one from my bank statement:

2022-04-30 DIRECT DEBIT CELL C [protected] I0343931

-65.00

I need help urgently as I have been retrenched and cannot allow for this money to go off any more. (that and it is pure theft from Cell-C)

My name is Lindsay and can be reached on [protected]. [protected]@gmail.com

I opened a contract online with cell c last year for a data sim of 50gb for R249.00 p/month over 24 months period, now today the 30th April 2022 they deducted R318.97 really unhappy about this makes me want to terminate this and take telkom 80gb. Next time if you increase your price notification us so we know.

Until today my mobicred account has not been refunded and this is such a big inconvenience. Can Cell c please refund my mobicred account.
