Vodacom content services charged

WASPA... MT Digital South Africa
Query... Content Service @R78.43

Vodacom allowed MT Digital South Africa to levy a charge of R78-43 against my account for WASP Services which I did not subscribe to and are unaware of these charges.

When I queried, Vodacom refers me to MT Digital Services to saying Vodacom is unable to help.

My concern is how is it possible for a third party like MT Digital South Africa to charge my Vodacom account without my permission and is allowed to do so by Vodacom?

I seek a full credit note to my account for this charge.

Audit Trail of Follow Up

2016/11/09 Wednesday
Transaction amount of R78-43 first appeared on my account.
Immediately queried with Vodacom (Nomvula) who stopped the perpetual charge and cancelled the subscription.
Vodacom Solutions Department (Nonklantla) initiated an investigation.

2016/11/10 Thursday
Follow up with Vodacom (Debbie)(Solutions Dept Cindy); advised investigation on-going turn around time 48-hours (phone was cut-off during conversation).
Vodacom Support (Tabelo) advised investigation has been logged and Vodacom will provide feedback regarding refund by latest Tuesday 15 November 2016, however he will follow up but has his work day-off the next day hence will provide feedback on Saturday 12 November 2016 when he is back at work.

2016/11/11 Friday

Vodacom upgrade contract dispute

Ref no: V0S0UM

I was browsing the Vodacom online website store (14 November 2016) when I came across an upgrade for my cellphone that I was interested in.

My cell no: [protected]

The upgrade details were roughly as follows:

Sony Xperia XA
Flexi 200 @ a cost of R249 pm X 24 months

I processed the upgrade online where I received an email from Vodacom confirming the upgrade.

I also received another message from Vodacom telling me that an agent will call me shortly to confirm the upgrade.

The following is a copy of the message I received from Vodacom:

Hello Yusuf,
We have received your request for an upgrade deal and your reference number is V0S0UM
A Call Centre agent will contact you within 24 hours to complete your new deal request.
If you don't hear from us within the next 24 hours, please call [protected], FREE from a Vodacom cellphone.
The Vodacom Online team
Vodacom

I hadn't received a call a day later so I decided to give Vodacom a call. The lady tells me that the contract I applied for is at a cost of R299 pm and not R249 as was stated on the website.

She refuses to process the contract at the cost of R249 even though I have proof of the confirmation at that price!

This is not the attitude I had expected from a service provider I have been loyal to for so many years.

Twice during my calls at the Call centre I was promised that the agents superiors and managers would call me to sort this out - I have not heard from a single manager. I was asked to send an email which I did - no response. I used twitter in an attempt to get someone to call me - no response. I complained on hello Peter - no response.

What must we as the consumer DO to get the SERVICE that we are paying for?

This is infuriating and disappointing. I am tempted to cancel my contract and seek better service from another service provider.

It is my hope that Vodacom will redeem itself in my eyes and simply give me what was promised at the price that was confirmed to me.

Hoping this issue would be resolved soon.

Vodacom billing issue

My elderly father is being billed for calls to a specific number that he does not know and has not dialed.
I went into a Vodashop to complain and was told that they cannot help me, I have to phone their customer care call centre.
I have complained to the customer care call centre for over a year and every time I call to complain I am told that they will log an enquiry and send me an SMS with a reference number.
Sometimes I get an SMS but most of the time I don't.
Every time the consultant tells me that they cannot see any enquiries logged on the system but will log one immediately.
Nothing has been done and every month he is paying hundreds of rands for calls that he has not made.
He is on a debit order with Vodacom so the account gets paid automatically.
I have just phoned the customer care centre again and was told that this is a billing issue for the billings department so they will transfer my call, the consultant who took the call in the billings department told me, no this is an issue that can only be sorted out by customer care, he will transfer me back to the customer care, he then cut me off altogether.
My next step is to cancel the contract altogether and move to another service provider.
The cell number in question is +[protected].
Contract is in the name Samuel Grolman, ID No:[protected].
Where do I go from here?
I can be contacted on +[protected] or [protected]@live.co.za
Looking forward to a solution to this problem.
Thank you
Lesley Fingleson.

Vodacom upgrade/no stock - 2 weeks waiting, no communication

I have been with Vodacom for over 10 years and have 4 account with them. In the last 3 months I have been disappointed numerous times. First applied for an upgrade online on one of my accounts, after 2 weeks waiting with no upgrade arriving, I cancelled the contract...it is now almost 2 months later and I am still being billed for the contract ([protected]).
Then 2 weeks ago I decided to go into the Vodacom shop in East Rand mall to do my upgrade on my main account ([protected]), hoping to get better results than online. They did not have my device in stock and told me they would have it within 2 days and they would call me to come and collect...it is now 2 weeks later and I have not heard from them, I had to phone in on 3 occasions to check if they have received stock. Completely and utterly useless.
Vodacom, get your act together!

Vodacom most terrible mobile service provider - vodacom

I took a new contract with Vodacom & was given the run around from the word go. Everything that they could do wrong, from by name to courier dates & even gave me the incorrect size sim card, not forgetting they did not port my number as requested numerous times. I honestly made over 15 calls to Vodacom & each call takes an average of 1 hour by the time we get bounced around by each department who are eager to let you know that the other departments are at fault. So eventually I decided to return the phone as my problems were not solved. Vodacom has a worldclass debtors system as they do not forget to debit your as quick as lightening. Now after the phone is returned I await my refund, after 20 more calls @ 1 hour per call, 3 months & a page full of references & names I still wait in anticipation for someone to help.

Vodacom vodacom network and customer services

I have not been able to make any outgoing calls since yesterday afternoon. I’ve checked all my settings, and put my SIM card in different phone, and still it kept saying “Call ended” when trying to make a call.

I phoned 111, and after being put through to different departments for an hour, was told by the “specialist” that there’s some kind of issue on Vodacom’s side and that the issue will be resolved throughout the night.

Well, IT WASN’T! After being on the phone with Customer Care this morning, again for an hour and a half, I was told that there’s nothing wrong on my account, and they don’t know why this is happening. After stating the urgency of this matter as I need my phone for work purposes, the lady at Customer Care, told me that they “might” contact me again on Monday to follow up and resolve this. I told her that this unacceptable and that I am not happy with this, upon which her response was something like “that’s ok”! She then informed that a Service Request (1/[protected]) was opened, and that I will have to wait for them to contact me, but she has no idea what the SLA on this is. I told her that I will be escalating this, on which she replied, “it’s fine”…

As a contract customer at Vodacom for over 15 years, this is really not on! At the moment I have a fully paid up account, which means absolutely nothing to me! The service of such a major company is scandalous to say the least!

I am strongly considering termination of all my Vodacom contracts as I swear, the service at MTN or even Telkom cannot be this appalling!

Vodacom upgrade

I went to the Vodacom shop in Cresta mall on the 12th November to do my upgrade and unfortunately they had no stock, so I decided to do it online as I have always done.

I went online selected my upgrade S30 CAT phone and i had to fill in a form with my details so vodacom could contact me within 24 hours.

Monday, i still didn't receive a call so I phone to see whats going on. The lady I spoke to advised that the system didn't capture my request- so nothing was done ( I did it twice)!
She kindly assisted me and did the upgrade online and mentioned she couldn't understand why because they do have stock and there shouldn't of been a problem. I was told someone would call to confirm everything and arrange delivery that is meant to be next day by the way.

Wednesday I phoned vodacom again to see as I still haven't received the call. This lady said all was done, just wait for my call, she said she would ask her manager to get someone to call me urgently.

So today is Friday and I have given up. Cant believe how bad the service has got as previously it was within two days I would receive my new phone.

Very disappointed and now I just dont think i will be upgrading with Vodacom.

Vodacom payment made and service not delivered

I was out of South Africa, working abroad last year for 5 months and didn't use my vodacom simcard. Upon return to SA my vodacom phone number has been deleted (I've had that number over 15 years and it's registered on everything I've ever needed it for). This was in November 2015. I went to one of the main Vodacom stores and asked to pay up my contract and then get my old number back but switch it from contract to pre-paid. I had to pay almost R300 extra to get my own number back. I then received a new simcard and they said it'll take 7-14 working days to activate and that they'll call me and let me know when I can put the new simcard in. I waited over 2 weeks and called them. The said it has not been activated yet. After spending an hour on the phone, them putting me through to all different departments because everyone says it's not their job to activate, or it's the legal department and so forth. In the end, one woman helped me and said it will be activated before the end of the day. It never happened.

I went to a different store, this guy said they gave me the wrong simcard, it shouldn't be a contract sim but a pre-paid sim. So he gave me a new one and said it'll be activated on my old number. It never happened. This has been after 4 months of calling and going into shops.

I had to leave again abroad for work, issue still not resolved. After 2 months I came back. They deactivated my new number again!I managed to reactivate that one and went to the main store again where I originally tried to get my old number back. The manager said she'll send an email on 10 June 2016, scanned all my documents, gave me a new simcard again! She phoned people at the head office and asked them if it's possible to get my old number back, they said yes. She said she'll phone me as soon as I can put in the new simcard. It never happened. After a few days I went back to the store and spoke to another guy because she was not in that day. He said he'll sort it out and gave me his number so I can contact him directly.

He emailed them and I received and email on 24 June 2016 from the legal administrator saying that after 6 months a number will be deleted and put back into the system. They deleted my number 1 November 2015. They cannot reactivate it again. I immediately emailed back and explained that I paid to get the number back but never did thus I wanted a refund. They never replied.

I went back to the store and asked about a refund and they said they don't know I have to contact customer care. I did and they said they can't help me so I emailed them asking for a refund on 9 July. I got the automated email response that they will get back to me. They never did.

After about 6 different simcards, many hours of frustration, money spent and me having to change my number everywhere, which is difficult after 15 years of having the same number. It is unexceptable and really annoying.

I just want a refund for the service not delivered.

Thank you

Vodacom unethical behaviour and incompetent staff.

We have been receiving automated calls from Vodacom the whole day saying that our account is in arrears.
My husband paid the full outstanding amount, as we do every month, in person on the 9th of November, we obviously have the receipt for the payment.

when I log into my vodacom and pull a statement it is clear that something is not adding up and they did not mark down out payment.

I tried getting through to the customer care center for over 30 minutes on my account

When i finally got answer, the first lady simply cut me off without warning and put me through to accounts, then after holding again for another 10min I got through to a guy who clearly was not willing to help me.

He would not even listen to what is wrong on our account, simply asked if I have authorization to access the account, I said this is not my account Its my moms account then he simply said "Oh Well".. and just put the phone down- not even letting me finish my sentence to say that I have a proxy ( In Writing) to handle her accounts as they have moved and can not go to a Vodacom themselves.

Now when I try to phone again I am once again not getting any answer!

Not sure who is doing your staff training there, but he or she is doing a HORRIBLE job at it.

Will someone please phone me so I can sort this account that YOU made a mistake on.
I am done wasting my time with Vodacom, the second these contracts expire i am taking the whole family off Vodacom and Onto Cell- C.

Hope you have a good explanation to why i have been treat in this manner, especially when the error is not even with me ?

Vodacom consultants always promise to update me but never call me back - trying to buy a phone

I called on the 10th of November wanting to buy a phone, and was helped by Philile, the time was 12:06 call lasted for 1 minute on 0821950 and called again at 12:08 on [protected] the time was 13:58 pm call lasted for 4 minutes. Someone was supposed to have called me but no one did because my details were not recorded on your system. On the 15th i called again first at 3.39 pm on 0821950 call lasted for 5 minutes but did not write the person who assisted me. I called again on [protected] at 3:45 call lasted for 10 minutes and 16th I again called at 12:23 call lasted for 30 minutes and Nqobile made the same promise as she pointed out that someone with access to Amway site will call me as she did not have access but no one again called me back. I then called today the 17th and at least Gau did call me back to report that there is a system issue they are dealing with and that she is not sure when it will be resolved which was like a breath of fresh air.
I honestly need a phone as the phone that is broken is my main number. If someone can just assist me I would really appreciate that. That is all I want.

Vodacom cancellation of contract taking over a year

For over a year we have been billed for a contract that we have not been using. First request sent with all supporting documents on the 7th of October 2015. We finally got some sort of help on the 19th of September 2016 from a lady called Letchie. Yesterday; we received a bill again; and was now told by Letchie that she cannot assist and we should phone the call center.

How many people do we still need to speak to? Is there someone, anyone that can please, please please help resolve this matter?

Vodacom account issue

I did a premature cancellation on 10 Oct 2016. I paid R 933.63 at the paarl branch to end the contract. The contract was stopped on 31 Oct 2016. Vodacom didn't debit me at the end of the month for Oct 2016. I went to the branch last week and again on Monday. My average account was R 950 a month. Now i have an account of R 1629, 42. After being to the branch twice and sitting there for hours nobody has been able to tell me why the account is this high! Every staff member jusy says their hands are cutt off and are not able to help me! This is unacceptable that no explanation can be givin to me. I have logged a complaint with Hello Peter and will take this matter further, this is terrible service after being a loyal customer for nearly 20 years!

Vodacom online upgrade

Good day

I applied online for an upgrade on the 27/10/2016, my phone was delivered to me on the 28th October, from the beginning the speaker was not working and on November the 3rd 2016, I phoned Vodacom and they arrange for the phone to be collected and said that my replacement will be delivered to me. on the 8th they collected the phone via courier company. on the 10th I phoned because I didn't received any communication from Vodacom, the lady in the customer care department told me that it was not updated on the system and that she would contact me on Friday with feedback, but that never happened. that afternoon I phoned them many times and the problem could not be solved. On Saturday the 12/11 I went to a Vodacom store and was told that because I applied online they couldn't assist me and that I can only contact the customer care number for assistance. By then I was very furious and when I contacted them and was transferred to many department I cancelled my upgrade and told them I would rather do the upgrade in store, they said it would take 72 working hours for it to be cancelled. (Please note that they are open on Saturdays and Sundays) on the 14th November I tried to phone the customer care but the answering machine said I have reach my call limit for the month and that I can contact Vodacom on this number [protected] or email them [protected]@vodacom.co.za, that number does not work, and I have send two emails and still no reply. I really need someone to get back to me, as I am 34 weeks Pregnant and the cell phone I am currently using is not in a very good working order and I need my new phone in case of an emergency.

Please advise

Thanking you in advance

Vodacom data bundles charged for the month + / - r6200

Hello Guys

My account is [protected]

I work abroad in Saudi Arabia and have International Roaming.

BEFORE you continue any further, I have been working in Saudi for almost a year and function exactly the same way.

My phone is connected to WIFI both in and outside the office, as I have done for the past year. Only when connected to WIFI does data transfer take place with upgrades and new software etc.

This month my bill has shot up to over 8000. Please look into this, before I blog and expose this. This is totally unacceptable and should your company not investigate and amend, I will have no choice but to tweet, and take it through every media to expose this. I am a firm believer in giving everybody a chance before judgement.
