Vodacom was however prepared, and announced that Morne Davel, Head of Advanced Data Solutions, will take over the reins from Vodacom3G. Davel is well versed with both Vodacom customer support services and their broadband offerings, ensuring that the cellular provider’s excellent level of participation in the forum will be maintained. Davel will use the username VodacomData.

Why is MTN absent?
 
MTN never really had an official rep here did they? Obviously with good reason methinks. On Hello Peter the poor souls appointed to respond have gone on strike for the last two weeks it seems. Not a reply. Not a company that responds. I guess the overwhelming landslide of complaints was just too much. I complained to Peter/Shelley about this and they don't seem to be able to coax a thing out of the yellow beast. Day by day MTN is proving itself to be a diabolical, outrageous exploiter of its customers. I believe one day this will be a case study university students will receive as how NOT to pursue customer relations. Hail Emptyenia, provider of no service, inaccurate billing information, leader in healthy business ethics and sponsor of the FIFA 2010 World Cup. Heaven help us. Imagine the comms disaster next year - of course MTN will ignore it until it goes away like they are doing now. Wonder if it will work...
 
pitbull and dr data help out but i don't think they are the MTN reps, MTN doesn't have a rep on these forums AFAIK.

Dr Data usually does a good job though
 
There are quite a few people here who work for MTN, one once told me that he can't help, he is not allowed too so he doesn't.

So maybe they (MTN) do read the forums but are too lazy to offer some decent support outside of their horrible call centre.

If they had a rep on here, it would mean some sort of customer service. Eish, that is not allowed.
 
I suspect MTN is burying its corporate head in the sand. Deny everything, mushroom the customers and avoid any contact via forums like this that ask uncomfortable questions and demand quaint, old fashioned things like customer service, ethical business practice and accountability. I am sure MTN is acutely aware of their customer service issues but are unwilling to do the right thing and come clean in public. This bothers me in particular because there are still customers out there blissfully unaware of how MTN is ripping them off. They need to be informed of the problems MTN is having so they can be sure they are being billed incorrectly. MTN does not want to make public announcement admitting this - it would probably kill the call center completely under a landslide of anxious customers demanding refunds. Of course I may be wrong. Either way I think the MTN people reading this better DO SOMETHING and respect the customers rights to honesty, good service and the right to know what is the problem and how it will be resolved. IF I was an MTN rep (unofficial or not) I would NOT be willing to risk it on my own here - it would be better to have the company backing, which is seriously lacking. Not to mention credibility. Roll on 2010 SWC network issues.
 
MTN DATADUDE was the most helpful "REP" on this forum,pity he moved onto a different job description not allowing him to spend anytime on this forum , Hellopeter has become a total waste of time .

Who told him he wasn't allowed to?

I second that. But at least you can see how many others took the time and trouble to complain. MTN must be setting a new record.

On the other hand Hello Peter was very helpful when I had vehicle maintenance issues with McCarthy. Boils down to the attitude of the company, their willingness to listen to the customer and help out. This is where MTN must record an EPIC fail. :o
