Cell C customer care and self-service number
For customer service from a Cell C number, dial 135. Choose option 9 when you want to speak to an agent. The same number also provides self-service options: option 1, Manage, covers your balance, usage, statements, PUK code and international roaming, while option 2, Support, covers data and MMS settings and lets you follow up on a query already logged.
Some self-service options require an active Cell C self-service PIN. If you are not calling from a Cell C phone, use 084 135 instead. Cell C says calls to that number are charged at normal rates. The customer care line also supports Cell C Service Provider customers.
Cell C’s Calling Services page still mentions 140 for information and assistance, while its contact page gives 135. For the current customer care route described on the contact page, use 135.
