I'm so disappointed in africa mobile I applied for a phone late last year they deducted R441 and I haven't git the cellphone still date and R299 from my account I don't understand what am I paying africa mobile for because I don't have their phone with me I can't reverse nor stop the debt order this people are crooks it's a scam 😢 😔 all in all how come they take money for free I just want my money back you can't tell me it's a mistake you all are used to do that you are doing of taking people hard earned money for free my name is Daphney Seane very disappointed
DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE PERSONAL INFORMATION
So i and my fiance both signed. Up with Africa Mobile thinking it was a good deal we were being offered as I work online and remotely and the extra devices would have served a good purpose BUT let me tell you when I wanted to cancel the application I had an agent Zola call me who was determined to sell the product and wouldn't take no for an answer, on the 2nd of December this company attempted to take Over R2500 from both of our accounts collectively adding upto R5000. We have never received a device or any item from them so what makes them entitled to MY HARD EARNED money. Again today on the 9th of December they again took R1700 from one of our accounts, they blocked our bank from stopping the debit order and reversing the funds and then expect us to wait 21 workings days for the money to be reversed into our bank accounts. Ive dealt with them on the phone, via WhatsApp, a manager won't return a call, a supervisor is never available and the call center staff are plain rude and to put it politely useless. I am beyond angry and what my money returned immediately or I will charge AFRICA MOBILE with fraud

i got my phone within 3 days after i payed my activation fee outstanding services from africa mob
Matter is still unresolved!!!
Long story short! They deducted money from my account TWICE and I don't even have a phone! I have sent so many emails and then they have the cheeck to tell me they will deduct R350 from the amount because I am canceling my contract with them!!! It is such a long messed up story, too long to type but if you are thinking about getting a phone with these people, DON'T!!!!!! WORST COMPANY EVER!!!! AND YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SERVICE BECAUSE THE SERVICE IS BASICALLY NON-EXISTENT!!!!!

I am extremely dissatisfied with Africa Mobile's service. Despite setting up a debit order for my device, I have not yet received it, and they are preparing to debit my account again. This lack of follow-through and communication is deeply frustrating. It feels like a scam, and it's unacceptable that we are left dealing with such issues. I hope this review prompts Africa Mobile to address their shortcomings and improve their customer service. Until then, I cannot recommend their services.
My wife have a contract with Africa mobile
My wife have a contract with Africa mobile. What a waste of money!!! You cant change ANY settings on your phone because all apps are controlled by Africa mobile. She is to scared to put her banking app on the phone due to the fact that Africa mobile have access on all your apps. Don't trust this company at all!!!!
