Previous Cell C Complaint Response
On 23 July 2025 I submitted a negative review (Non Stop SPAMMING On Prepaid) due to excessive SPAM and bad signal quality. I had Sidwell Makoena handle the SPAM issues, and Warren handled the Network side. Over the years, Coming out of the industry many years ago I generally found all network providers customer Care service had deteriorated. I had called Cell C numerous times in the past with un-resolved issues and bad attitude. Not this time. Sidwell & Warren handled things courteously & professionally and are an asset to Cell C. Hopefully this is a turn-around for their customer care in the future. Thank you.

Non Stop SPAMMING on Prepaid.
We are 8 Cell C prepaid users. Besides our signal strength being totally reduced, I get non stop SPAM from Cell C. Calling or using their opt-out doesn't work. Every day I get numerous marketing junk on both mh numbers..

Great Service From The Courier Guy
I had two separate deliveries done from Johannesburg to George by The Courier Guy. The first one left me disillusioned due to the condition of the parcel, but on investigation it turned out that the sender never packed the parcel properly. The Courier Guy did a professional and excellent job of getting my parcels to me safely on both occasions. Thank you.

Excellent Service From Gimme Online
I was sceptical about an online order, but Gimme Online reviews were good and dealing with them was quick and easy. Their pricing delivery was good as well. I will definitely recommend Gimme Online.

Prepaid Rip-Off
I purchased a Vodacom locked Samsung, plus accessories to use as a prepaid work phone. This was based on Vodacom having a 79c prepaid plan, as apposed to the Cell C 66c prepaid plan. I ported my Cell C number, then hit a wall. Vodacom Customer Care has just informed me that the 79c option is no longer available, irrespective of what they advertise, and would now cost R1.25 per minute. That is a crazy 58% increase in price. What a waste of time and money. I could have stayed on a plan that costs half for calls.

Disgusting, Evil Adverts For Christian Based Movie
This afternoon my family and I went to watch a Christian based movie. We haven't been to the movies for a few years, but never again. Adverts with the f-bomb over and over, then a very satanic ad, a violent and, and a local just plain bad ad. Unfortunately my children go to movies with their friends, and are apparently exposed to the same. This is disgusting and inconsiderate that Ster Kinekor would run these type of adverts at all, but especially with a Christian based movie.

Debit Order Confusion - Feeling Ripped Off
Why not give a zero star! I tried to cancel my data contract in January 2022, but due to past poor experience I called again to confirm on 18 February 2022. (Ref: 1-35269410941596) They had no info on it, so I had to cancel again. I was informed that the R199 contract would end on 31 March 2022. Even though I did not want it converted to prepaid, they did that. Fortunately they did, so I can use up the last Gb. On 31/04/22 the signal stopped, so I assumed that the contract was done. I switched on today, and saw that I had over 2Gb left, and no additional data was added, but the debit order went off on the 31/03/22. I called them from 0763803484 on 01/04/22 at around 11:30 (1st 0821958, then 082135) and eventually got to accounts, and was informed that this deduction was only for February, and that I would get another deduction at the END of April for March. How can this be? Vodacom does not start deducting for a new contract two months from when it started? This is also the second time Vodacom refuses to give a reference number for a call, stating that by quoting date and time, they will pull up a recording. Everyone knows that those recordings get deleted. I ALSO DON'T WANT THE STANDARD USELESS "COPY & PASTE" RESPONSE!

Never Ending Robocall SPAM Calls
I am NOT a client of Clientele and after this experience, never will be. I receive on almost a daily basis Clientele's negative marketing robocall SPAM calls. So far they have called me from 11 different numbers, and as much as I report and block them, more arrive.

Builders Refuse to Unsubscribe Me From Their SPAM
I signed up to save my store for searches, but I could not opt out of their SPAM. Irrespective of trying to unsubscribe many times, I continue to receive their negative marketing SPAM.
