This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

The previous page cleared with all the information. This is frustrating. Cell C is going to face the music I promise you. I am also moving some of my stuff during this week and alot is going on. I called through 3 times and the questions to do sim swop was failed because the providers have changed names and my employment is [censored] as I changed jobs 3 times so my previous employer is who because I don't know who registered me as I had left too soon. I want this sorted out now, if not sorted I am escalating this matter further and taking it to social media. Cell C is the worst service provider in South Africa, even Telkom is better than you. Now I was told to wait until 4 pm to call back and fail again. Why must I pay 115 when it is free at the call centre. Do you want me to pay to bypass the Sim swop nonsense questions? In that case you are thieves.

Claimed loss: Time, money and patience.

Desired outcome: Free Sim swop
