Harrrloooo CELCOM!
I pay all my bills promptly because I ‘pantang’ being chased for payment and also I do not believe in paying penalty/interest for being late with my cheques. Moreover, some companies encourage early/prompt payments with cash rebates and I have been enjoying 5% from my phone service provider. So as soon as I receive my bills, I will issue a cheque and then file the bills straightaway. Saves time and avoid clutter.
Then about 3 months ago, I noticed that the 5% rebate is no longer on my bills. I called up the Customer Service and was told that they’ll check and get back to me. Meanwhile, I am to pay the full amount as per the bill. I got no problems with that. I have forgotten about that CS fella until the next bill arrived. Ohhh….still no rebates huh??? Made another call to the CS and this time around, that young chap promised to look into it immediately and to get back to me ASAP. True enough, on Nov 2 2006, I received an official SMS from CELCOM to advise that my “….Case ID is C061031-3953432 has been resolved. The adjusted amount will be reflected in your next bill statement. Thank you.” – I’m quoting them verbatim here. I was impressed…..until, until….
The next bill dated Nov 24 arrived – still no adjustment or whatever. OK, another call would be just proper. Related my story to another CS executive who said will call me back in 30 minutes but the call finally came in after 50 minutes or so. Nevermind. With the patience of a saint, I listened to this chap and you know what he said? It went something like this:-
CS : “Harlo, Madam Tan ah? Sorry to tell you – now no more rebates for early payment.
Me : Since when?
CS : Not sure.
Me : Then how you know?
CS : I checked wif my superior and he said stopped already.
Me : How come I dunno wan? Any communication sent out?
CS : I dunno.
Me : Let me talk to your superior.
CS : OK, You hold the line for awhile?
Me : **wait and wait and smoke coming out from my nose ledi**
CS : Sori, Madam Tan. There is no manager at night.
Me : OK, then you pass the message to whoever you superior is to call me back ASAP. And tell him I want my money back.
CS : Madam Tan, there is no more rebate. The SMS wrongly sent la.
Me : I still have it in my phone as proof. Wah…. CELCOM lidat wan ah?
Dowan to honour izzit? I’m going to complain big-big la.
CS : Aiyoh, lidat my colleague will kena la.
Me : Please remember to get your manager to call me. Good night.
I waited for one day. No calls came in. I then sent an email yesterday. Still waiting for a response.
HAARLLLOOOOOO CELCOM! DO YOU HEAR ME??????

Nyonya, similarly I have the same experience with a credit card. I sent in a snail mail in July to cancel the card but still the statement came in so I called them the pass weeks after I was told to fax in my cancellation letter and guess what the last CS told me? "We have so many faxes and we don't have enough time to look at them yet"!!! So I have to pay all the blardy fees while waiting for them to sort out their ferking faxes???? DUH!
Complain to MCMC!
Hmmph!!

Hi NonyaPenang, regret to read of your plight. Guess Celcom (?) playing musical chairs with you, huh?
By the way, who or what is 'Celcom'?

hahahaa... go ahead lah, go and complain big big, we don care wan!
yours truly,
Celcom.
yours truly,
Celcom.
lulu also gets very geram when have to call these people. so far, my dealings with maxis has been pleasant, but a different story with the credit card people.
angeleyes, i can emphatise with you.
one thing i have learnt, [but being a lulu, quite often forget to practise] is to note the date and time you called, and the name of the customer rep attending to you. then you know exactly who to point your finger to.

I don't have faith in Celcom, as it doesn't care much about its bottom line. Too much like the government bureacracy.
But if you are serious with your complaint, complaint big big like you say. Write a formal complain letter to the CEO, stating your case.
The few complaints letter from me to the CEO of Stanchart, Citibank and Public Bank all got prompt response. Cases settled with extra rebates thrown in.

Celcom's CS memang rubbish. My colleague went to open a postpaid line and when she complained that the billing duration was problematic and they said "Siapa suruh you buka line on the 24th? Because our billing period starts from there and is not adjustable". "So you're saying I'm stupid la?", The MYR1,000,000 reply, "Yes".
make the switch to Maxis! hahaha! actually no matter which service provider you go to, sure got masalah wan... ishhhhh...
Poor nyonya
I use Digi..
So far I'm quite happy with the service :)
And nyek-nyek.. I get RM10 discount each month :P

UAHH Celcom bashing!!
I use digi. The service is good lah. And the people who man the service centre are good.
Summore, I use digi GPRS to get online. When i tried celcom 3G in SP, the speed is supposed to be faster but it was about the same as my digi GPRS only. When i use my device on wifi it was fast. So i guess the tardiness is due to celcom's SERVERS there in KL.
I was very upset when digi didn't get the 3G license. Just because it's a foreign company. The official reason.
After this celcom will sent you a basket of flowers liao :-) Eh... you MUST send them the link of this post lah. Mebbe they're so blur they don't even know about this bashing. (What you don't know can't hurt you)

From a Jack to a King.
With no regrets, I stacked the cards last night.
And Lady Luck played her hand just right:
You made me King of your heart.
For just a little while, I thought that I might lose again.
Then just in time, I saw the twinkle in your eye.

the rm10 is not fixed one, the more you top up, the more you get. but mine whor, only credited once in 3 months.. so i usually got 40-50 rm.
plus whor, if you top up 3 days before, during, or 3 days after your birthday you got extra 50%. see if you top up rm100 you got 150. very nice ooo..
somemore, you can top up online oo. let say youre in xin jia po, or ostolia and need to top up. you can buy the reload coupon thru maybank2u and enter the 16 digit number at digi homepage. easy lidat. no need to key in thru your phone one..
