In December 2009, I took my daughter to the Cell C branch at the Liberty Mall in Pietermaritzburg as her upgrade was due. When we enquired about it they advised us that the upgrade had already been done by a T. Mashifane on the 31/10/2009. When we asked how this is possible they said that Cell C Direct must have phoned our 13 year old daughter to ask her if she would like the upgrade done and if she had answered yes then they would have posted the actual phone to our physical address and that anyone can sign receipt thereof.

Surely they should give me a new one and send it in themselves - if I did not buy a substandard - repaired laptop as a new one!!! Bought Sunday 31/01/2010. read full review »

I was in an accident whereby a client to zurich had caused the accident so they have to pay for repairs as third party. I have been calling these people since 2009 - december as the accident happened on the 29th November 2009 to date 01 February. To this day my car has not been fixed and every time I call their offices there is always something new, for the past 2 weeks they have been saying the payment will effect in 48 hours. I have tried being patient with them but they are seriously useless because they lie to the customer. On the 29th of January it was officially 2months of empty promise. read full review »
