Is it the end for Autopage.

[naeem.ally]

I did an internal port with autopage from mtn to cellc and the port went through successfully after 6 months when I started calling in twice a day. The worst part is that they billed me for two contracts on the same number. I'm still trying to get my money back from them.

Thank goodness I didn't get involved in a franchise or else I would have too many grey hairs today. Noticed people don't even bother walking into AutoPage outlets. They prefer dealing directly with the SP like Vodashop, MTN stores, CELL C Stores, 8Ta/Telkom Direct.

Back in 2007 I registered the Autorage.co.za domain in response to completely inept and downright disgusting service from THOSE people. They contacted me about it and asked my intentions as well as asking me to take it down. I agreed on one condition that they immediately tear up my contract.

Surprise, surprise they refused.

I am proud to say that I am sure that I continue to play some small part in their downward slide.

From the Autorage Site:

There comes a time in the life of humankind when enough is enough. We say ENOUGH to crap service, ENOUGH to lies and deceit, ENOUGH to being promised steak and delivered crap.........

After many many tears of dedicated support of one company AutoRage I have decided to tell them to take their P and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Aaah the folly of youth when, as a young businessman I carried a pager around on my person. Imagine, if you will, the thrill that every young hot blooded male businessman experienced when the Autopage sales rep arrived at his door, alighting from her white vehicle, resplendent in white, blonde hair shining in the sun and teeth sparkling. Man, you knew you had arrived when the poppie came a knocking. NOW, you were a man of substance as you qualified as a VIB (Very Important Businessman) and had to carry a pager because you were ON CALL.

Move on a few years when the pager was replaced with a brick - Siemens S1 was my cultural weapon of choice and the poppie was there to take your R3000.00 and R2.00 per minute.

As the phones got smaller the poppie got older, fatter, married, moved on and disappeared.

Now you stayed with Autopage because they were familiar and they offered you a good deal. BUT, you no longer qualified for that poppie visit. The poppie was swopped for Koos wiff no teeth, operating out of a converted garage close to your work.

But you stayed because Koos was basically a good guy, a working stiff who had a wife and kids.

Then Autopage took your money for six months after you cancelled your LAST cellphone contract with them and trying to get your money back was just too much effort. And, for a while you dealt with some other okes.

Then, you were approached by what can only have been Koos's son with a great deal for you. He sat on your porch and was ever so helpful and, what the hell, give the boy a break, signed your life away on the more expensive option wiff two phones, intending to give one to the long hair, despite your misgivings about Autopage stealing your money.......
