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

Hi, the reason why you had to pay a difference was that the the deposit payment was not received, then the first monthly instalment was deducted when you contacted us. You were informed to pay the difference for the device to be dispatched - Then it was sent to you. If there is any other issues, feel free to contact us on 010 021 5090 or email store@africamobile.co.za

Very disappointed with Africa mobile

Very disappointed with Africa mobile, firstly my pay date is the 28th and they go and debit all my fuel money. Then I never received my data and airtime since I got the contract phone. This is very upsetting.

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!!!!

SCAMMERS

Now 3 months later they debited the activation fee from my account. I heard nothing ever since that first day from them.
