Mondo Lack of customer support waiting over 3 months for a credit not yet received

I have over 6 emails to your team and I am yet to have any response

Please action this with urgency

on the 26/July I was passed a credit which I was told would be sent to my Vodacom account

On the 1st Sept I called again and was told that the accounts team had a delay

on the 2nd October I was told the credit was passed and would be paid into my Vodacom account reference - *******

On the 20th October I called again and was told there was a delay yet again but it should reflect in a few days

Today the 25th October - your team is too busy and apparently someone will call back ... we will see if this happens

I would like this fast tracked to your accounts and would like my credit applied to my Vodacom account as promised 3 months ago, I also hope that interest incurred on the amount owed will be added

Desired outcome: Credit my account as promised

Mondo Fraudulent mtn upgrade

In January Mondo pretended to be "MTN" and sold me an "add-on" data bundle assuring me it would not affect my upgrade. A few months later I found out that Mondo had upgraded my line extending the contract for a further 24 months - without authorization.

They refused to take calls and respond to emails, but I finally caught them out via HelloPeter. They pretended to be concerned at first and did an investigation (ref RCO424020). They then promised to undo the upgrade and refund me the additional subs they had charged me so that I can do an upgrade with the real MTN.

Its been several weeks since and again they are avoiding me.

This is fraud but unfortunately the customer can't do anything!

Desired outcome: 1. Get my full refund. 2. Revert my line (reverse the fraudulent upgrade). 3. Have the CEO contact me.

Mondo Misleading advertisement and lies from Mondo sales representatives

I applied for an upgrade on my existing contract and the phone I took goes with a voucher for R1000 master card but only the phone was delivered without a voucher and when I call them its stories after stories, sometimes we choose these packages because of what they go with but receiving an incomplete package and they act as if they know nothing about it is a slap in the face for customers

Mondo Bad customer service bogus complaint department

Applied for online contract. Was pre approved. Sales department never followed up. When I phoned In I was told my application was canceled. Tried to file complaint. Only get automated response to file it online. Their online query logging system dnt work. So u can't get Ref number for complaint and complaint department or customer care don't do queries or complaints without the number. So you stuck. That is why they dnt have any complaints cos there system is rigged. U cannot get Ref number for query so u can't lay complaint and customer service never get any complaints isn't that smart.

Desired outcome: I want a thorough investigation and I want the deal I was pre approved for.

Mondo Contract renewal / stock

Good day

I was contacted on 23 June 2023 by one of your consultants for an upgrade for number [protected] to which i did. I didn't get his Name but I asked him if there is stock of the device he offered as well as the watch and budds. He told me there is stock of everything.

I called twice after the upgrade and was told the first time my package is ready and they just waiting on the courier to collect. I was also told that i must claim the budds from Samsung. I was not told that when i did the upgrade. today is July 4th and i phoned again just to be told they waiting on stock. I am not a happy client at all and it is very unprofessional of MTN to do this to their Clients.

Please resolve the matter ASAP.

Regards

Karen Delcarme/ [protected]

Desired outcome: I would like a response and the devises that i was told coming with the upgrade.

Mondo Customer Service

Dear Mondo

Is there any way you could look back at an agent who phoned me. I unfortunately did not get his name... He was getting extremely rude as I asked him to phone me again because the phone I applied for initially I did not get enough credit for. When I told him I needed time to think and do research about the other phones and needed to talk to my husband he got rude and told me why can't I make a decision if I applied.. Which then I hung up the phone.

Mondo Did not complete my application

I had made an online application for a mobile contract on 27 February 2023. Shortly after submitting my application, I received an automated notification that my application has been received and that an agent would be making contact telephonically to complete the application. Today is the 5-6-2023. To this day, I have not received a single. I am yet to complete my application even though I have request numerous times via email for a call back. I have called in countless with the reassurance that I would receive a call back from Mondo to complete my application. This is not good service at all. I have existing mobile and data contracts from other networks such as MTN and Telkom. If very pleased with their services. Therefore, have chosen to remain a loyal client to them for years now. My particulars if any other network would like to offer me another mobile contract.

Mondo Meccer laptop

Took the contract in Jan 2022 and started to the device in April 2022, sometime in July 2022 the charger stopped working. Beginning December 2022 the laptop stopped switching on, beginning January 2023 I reported via the telephone and was instructed to take it to the nearest mtn store for assessment. I did as per instruction but didn't get any help, claiming that they don't do repairs so I must go and ask mondo for the address they will send it to. I tried the other mtn store, they took the device and phone me after 3 wanting authority to courier it. I directed them to mondo for those costs, after a month and half waiting for the feedback I decided to visit the store check the feedback. To my surprise I've found the device kept in the store, never sent anywhere. I am now stucked and paying for unworking device

Mondo Sim not working

I made an enquiry on the MTN website in November 2022 for a new contract. MTN uses Mondo www.mondo.co.za as a third-party company to assist with contracts.

I got a call from Mondo on the 25th November 2022 to finalise my contract, during this call I specifically asked if I would be able to port my CELLC number over to MTN to be linked to my contract, the consultant said it will be done once I receive my sim card by contacting MTN.

When I received my phone I did not receive a sim card with it.

I called Mondo and was asked to visit an MTN branch to get a sim and to get my number ported.

After going in to 2 MTN branches where I was told Mondo needs to provide the sim or I will be charged for a sim swap and I will not be able to link my existing number to my contract and I would have 2 sims - a contract sim and my existing number ported to a prepaid sim, I then called Mondo AGAIN, I was then told that I need to go back to MTN buy a sim and port my number and then contact Mondo again to get a sim swap done.

On Thursday 2nd March I requested a sim swap to be done by Mondo, they requested the sim number for my number to be linked to and they confirmed the number that will be linked.

On the 15th March, my sim stopped working completely, I get an error that says my sim is not provisioned.

Since then I have made 6 calls to Mondo and 2 calls to MTN and my sim is still not working, IT IS NOW THE 24TH OF MARCH. They have linked my number to a sim that I do not have.

I have been asked to put the sim in that I received with the phone but I DID NOT GET ONE!

Mondo keeps telling me that the sim swap is done and I need to wait 48 hours each time.

IF YOU EVER TRY TO TAKE OUT AN MTN CONTRACT MAKE SURE MONDO IS NOT HANDLING IT, THEY ARE USELESS!

Desired outcome: I would like my sim to work!
