Payback my Money, Fraudulent business
I was called by one of their consultants , to apply for a contract .
All they did was debit my account. I want my money to be paid back into my account no need for a new contract and please cancel the debit order you have place on my account.
I no longer need your services and you call center doesn't work.

6 Months of unauthorized debits
Can you please tell me how you debit my husband from Novemeber last year up until now August 2023 without having a phone delivered ? He is not one to check his bank statements as he knows that there are no active debit orders. It was on the 25 of August that he checked the statement and contacted you and your reply was sorry most of our ex customers experienced this and you will be refunded! When he called back today a lady advised that he had received the phone, we want to know, who delivered it ? And who signed for it ? I want a copy of the waybill sent to my husband via email. And for your sanity arrange for a refund for these 6 months of unathorised debits. We have sufficent proof that the contract was asked to be canceled before it even started and a stop order was done but you guys changed the reference number and still went on to debit. This is fraud and you can have your trading license revoked!!!

Sim Card is Useless.
I received my device and I am over the moon, the problem is the sim card that was given to me. The agent claimed it will have 100 Rands airtime and 1 gig data, my sim has not been loaded and I have been asking for help since I received my device on the 8th of July. the Customer care number 135 does not work, I am throwing this sim card away and putting my own one in now, I've had enough.
