Telecom Ombudsman reprimands newcomer Digi: “Regroup quickly so that these remain teething problems

Switching telecom providers⁤ should be a seamless⁢ process, a simple transition to a new network with minimal disruption. But‍ for some, the reality ⁢is far from smooth sailing. Take Miranda Ramaekers, a Digi customer since the early days of the company. Despite ⁣activating her ‌new SIM card a‍ month ago, she’s still facing ​a frustrating problem: she can’t receive calls or text ⁤messages.

“I can make calls or send a message, but people cannot‍ reach me,” Miranda explains, her voice laced with ‍exasperation. “It’s been ⁣a month, and the issue​ persists.”

This situation is notably ⁣worrisome for Miranda,​ who is a heart patient.​ “I’m under observation at ‌night via a heart‌ monitor,” she shares, “but those services cannot reach me if ‌there’s a⁤ problem.” The inability to receive critical calls puts her health at risk.

Typically,the switch ‌to a new provider shouldn’t take longer ‍than a single working day. But for Miranda, the delays have extended far beyond that, leaving ‌her feeling stranded and vulnerable. Adding ⁤insult to injury, she’s uncovered another issue: “We hear that this compensation is not paid ⁢out according to the rules by⁢ Digi temporarily,” points out ⁣ consumer advocate, Tuerlinckx. This suggests a pattern of disregard for consumer rights within the company.

How can⁣ consumers protect themselves from⁤ telecom transition issues like the one Miranda Ramaekers experienced?
