website access
Have been unable to access the Vodacom website via client profile for more than three months. Had numerous email and telephone conversations and the matter is still not resolved. This is the second time it happened in one year and it took three months to resolve last time . Unable to sign in to Vodacom profile on website or access the app on phone. Started in February 2017 still unresolved.
Attached the email correspondence.
Vodacom customer service and technical personnel are incompetent and unable to resolve a basic technical error and communicate the issues or follow through.
I received this email as below on 22 May 2017, however the profile has still not been deregistered in order to reregister it and thus we still do not have access to the website to purchase data and check on the usage for my Mom’s account.
When will this be fixed? It has been more than three months!.
I expect Vodacom to provide free data and airtime for all the problems and to avoid the account running out of data.
Confirm that this will be done.
As previous requested provide me with a responsible person that is dealing with this matter in order for us to communicate directly with the correct department.
I also expect all talking point to be reallocated to the account once it is deregistered.

Hi
Het jy die profile probeer registreer en werk dit? Kan jy net confirm dat jy dit gaan doen of kan ek dit doen. Iemand moet elke dag dit opvolg en probeer en sodra dit werk die sign on details deel sodat ek kan seker maak daar is airtime en data. Data verval 30 dae nadat dit gekoop is.

I do understand this however I need to make sure my Mom has got data and airtime as I cannot access the accounts. We expect Vodacom to provide her with data and airtime once again to ensure she does not run out, due to all the hassles and inconvenience we had to go through for more than three months.
Please confirm that this will be done asap.

Thank you for your email.
Please be advised that you mother needs to de-register her cell phone number and re-register her cell phone number on the Vodacom website.
She will have to log into her Vodacom account and go to settings to de-register her cell phone number. Once she has done this, she will be able to re-register again.
If the problem is ongoing, you will have to send us screenshots of the problem/s, so that we can escalate it to our Back Office.

The cellphone plan for this number is suppose to be 79c plan however on the site it does no longer indicate the plan and it appears to be any time any network. When I try to change it on the website it does not allow a plan change to 79c.
Please correct this immediately and change the plan to 79c per minute.

additional account or cell contract on existing account
26 May 2017, 15h26
[protected]
I am attempting to add a contract to my existing account, after 7 days of trying to clarify my ITC record (which i have managed to clear up) i am told today that i have R300.00 odd to settle on a contract i had in 2011?
What i do not understand is how this can be as i settled my contract in 2011 as i lost employment and could not continue with the payments, i was given a settlement amount which i paid and my contract was cancelled and i had to start making use of pre-paid SIM cards.
When i asked how there can be an outstanding value Vodacom cannot tell me, when i ask how i can pay this to settle the balance so we can proceed with my new application Vodacom cannot pick up the previous account?
vodacom blocking my number
My [protected] has been with me forever. It was under a friends contract. I bought out the contract and wanted the number on my name again.
This took numerous visits to vodacom stores and calls and emails.
After which my number was cancelled. And I was forced to get another number as I was told there is nothing they can do.
I still had existing data and air time on the phone. Was refunded with a pathetic R400.
Vodacom put me the position having to get another number, when I never wanted to, but no one could call me as whats app only worked on wifi.
Vodacom has put me through changing my number with all my suppliers, clients, policies and I am loosing business as not everyone has my number.
upgrade mess up
Please help! I did an upgrade on no [protected] on line.
See invoice K0241230, 8 May 2017, things went wrong on your on line system, and only the sim was delivered, the sim was eventually picked up again on the 22 nd and returned to your depot and signed for by Sello.
I was told by your call agent that yesterday afternoon I would be able to go back into the on line system and reorder my upgrade.
Well its still not updated and I can not do my upgrade.
This is very poor service and I am very disappointed by the poor customer service I have received since the error was on your side.
Please contact me on [protected] urgently to resolve this.
Nobody calls back on your call back requests either.
vodafone protect
This is very unacceptable I can't access my phone as it is locked by the Vodafone protect app I have forgot the pin and when I try to go straight to the app it says that it is no longer available, if that's the case how are we going to reset the pin, I have even tried to wipe the phone and failed please I you don't want to lose clients with your useless apps please fix it I am using sumsung neo plus my number is [protected] hope you will find a solution to my problem
data
I have had the worst experience I can recall with any service provider. My bill has come up with 5 times the usual amount that I have been paying over the years. And to top it off I haven't received statements for both my accounts with Vodacom. The first consultant I spoke to told me that it is because I upgraded my account in January. When I told her I did no such thing then she had to put me through to someone else. Eventually after a lot of uncertainty I was told it's because of data costs from one of my contracts.
What a crap network. I cancelled my contracts at the same time. Vodacom is a rip off with poor service. Have even started converting family members and friends.
incompetent behaviour
Good Day
I have been using cellsure insurance for a very long time but i have been paying for over 3 years for my s4 mini through my vodacom insurance. I went into 2 months arrears and vodacom cancelled my insurance in January this year. I paid up my arrears and contacted insurance to find out if my insurance can be reinstated and they advised me that vodacom can reinstate it as they cancelled it. I called vodacom account and they advised me that my insurance is active. I went to Vodacom Brookside Mall and they advised me that my insurance is still active as well as Liberty Mall vodacom customer care.I have been having endless problems with my vodacom account where they are allocating the wrong airtime in the wrong sim card as i have 3 sim cards on my contract and the reason i visited vodacom was because i did not recieve my airtime allocation in the primary number which is [protected] but there was airtime allocated to the other 2 numbers.
I am not sure why there is a complete mix up with the different departments in vodacom where i get different stories from everyone.
I lost my phone and insurance now is refusing to put my claim through because vodacom did not reinstate it but assured me that my insurance is active.
sim activation
To whom it may concern:
I purchased a new sim card for my new phone as the old sim card is stuck in the old phone. I wanted my sim duplicated so that if a need to use the old phone again I have the option as the card is jammed in it permanently ( iphone4) . My tel. no is [protected].
This process was started Friday 12th May – it is now Thursday 25 May and I am still unable to use my new phone.
I Have been calling both the vodacom shop I purchased the sim from and paid for the duplication as well as the different Vodacom help lines and - e-mailed.
It is shockingly pathetic the way the shop instructs me to call Vodacom who in turn instructs me to call the Voda shop as both vehemently denies being able to help me and that it is the others responsibility!
Your automated e-mail response says it will get back to me in 24 hours, How about no response in over a week.
The number of man hours I have wasted in getting this sorted out is horrific! Is there any body at Vodacom with even minor common sense that can help me?

internet problem
I call vodacom three weeks ago about my problem with my two sim cards not going to the internet and they says I must go to vodashop.I go to vodashop at
Newcastle Mall.
And another guy take my ID and my numbers he told everything will be fine after an hour until today still same says SORRY ACCESS DIENED I have calling vodacom call centre no help.Today I go back to Vodacom shop in Newcastle Mall I show the gentleman whats the problem and he call vodacom after that he say I must switch my phones and remove sim card for 15 mins and until now doing same if I dial *111# to go to Services it shows me PARENTAL CONTROL FOR CHILD IS ALREADY ACTIVATED. both numbers [protected] and [protected]
I have been to vodashop twice already I do not want to go there anymore vodacom they must deactivate parental control to my numbers or I must change the network because it means that vodacom is not training their stuff I m driving more than 26km to go to vodashop
bad service
On Wednesday, 17 May 2017 I applied for a new contract at Vodacom by converting from pay as you go to contract.
During my application, I was advised that my approval needed to go through a "vetting" process. This "vetting' process has now been taking a full week, and I still don't have a contract. According to the Vodacom shop, the vetting process is sitting with Head Office, and they can't alter or approve anything from their side.
I would really appreciate feedback from Vodacom on why this process is taking so long. This is the first time, taking out a contract with Vodacom that I need to wait this long. I have given a 24 hour ultimatum to the Vodacom Tygervally Shop, Cape Town to resolve this issue, otherwise I will cancel my request, issue a HelloPeter letter and take my business to MTN.
Please contact me if you need any further details at [protected].

wifi
I am gravely disappointed in your way of business conduct, I was offered WiFi by a call centre agent who explained to me it would be free because I use a lot of airtime once I run out data. But now I was shocked to learn that I have to pay a monthly prescription of R218.17 and now I was debited R486.47. I have decided to return the WiFi because I will not have funds for it on a monthly basis. Please provide me with details as to how I can send it back.
disappearing data
Yesterday 22/05/2017, I purchased a data bundle at 14:51 from my bank via internet banking using my PC and my WiFi. A couple of minutes later, I received an sms saying you have less than 24MB of data immediately followed by another 1 saying you have less than 10MB of data. The only apps I had on cellular data were Contacts, Gmail and Watsapp. My ph was however using WiFi anyway. I immediately called vodacom customer care. The advisor said she would call me back since my ph activity would take an hour to show on the system. When she called back she said that I had cellular data activity on my ph for 9 minutes. I explained the apps that were open for cellular data use but that in any case I was using my WiFi at home at the time. She simply said that Vodacom's system was showing that I was using my cellular data. So, i suppose that is that and the customer will remain the liar because Vodacom's system says so. In my opinion they are no worse than common thieves since this is not the first time that this has happened to me, and from what I have been reading on other forums, Is happening to thousands of other Vodacom customers. I have been a loyal Vodacom customer for years but I think its time for me to move on.
service on my account
Good day, I am feed up with vodacom. From the 25 April 2017 my account was debited when I asked their consultant to change my debit order to the 25. The debit was bounced I am now having to take a charge of R25 on bank charges and a penalty fee from vodacom of R100 and no one actually phones you back to give you feedback as to what the solution is goin to be. It is now over a month and nothing has been resolved. I am highly disappointed with vodacom and their so called customer service. Even the merchant doesn't get back to me.
fraudulent upgrade
On the 27th April 2017 a fraudulent upgrade was generated on my cell account, it is the second case in the period of 12 months. Consultants have asked me to send documents to start the investigation and since then I have never received any call or correspondence mail to give me feedback about my case. Documents were sent to the following email addresses: [protected]@bytes.co.za; [protected]@vodacom.co.za . Soon after that there was a debit on my account, and that on its own indicate that no one is attending to my case. Reference Quote# [protected] and cell-number is # [protected]
bad service
I got a contract phone at Vodacom for a Hawaii P8. My phone is a year and two months old.
Almost a month ago my Wi-Fi just stop working. It doesn’t pick up any Wi-Fi doesn’t matter where I am.
I look up on the internet and there was a lot of people complaining about their Wi-Fi that just stop working and how can they fix it.
I took my phone in at Vodacom Tygervalley and three days later I got a message saying, the repair cost will be R3670.58
I phone them back and spoke to a lady. She said it is because of water damage. I told her my phone wasn’t near water, I can promise you that.
She said it can be of steam or heat. I don’t cook with my phone for steam to come inside my phone and how is heat my fault.
I can buy a brand new phone, exactly the same, for far less of the amount they are charging me to get my phone repaired.
My phone is still on a contract and still far from 2years old. I feel it is still Vodacom responsible to help a customer and have it fix.
It’s not my fault my WIFI is not working, it is fault Hawaii made with the phone and I feel it is Vodacoms responsibility to fix my phone because Vodacom are selling the phone.
They want to give people a service but they can’t even look after their customers.
data usage
I have been purchasing data for my daughter's cell phone but the data vanishes almost immediately after the purchase. I can't throw any more good money after bad and I'm struggling to get a reasonable answer from Vodacom (other than "try switch to 3G instead"). Apparently, there is a dedicated phone option for those who's data is "mysteriously disappearing" . They failed to help us though
vodacom: false, misleading and deceptive representation.
Good day, I am writing to express my severe dissatisfaction in Vodacom. On Saturday, whilst at a stop street in Kyalami; I received a Vodacom pamphlet from a Vodacom representative advertising for the new iPhone 7, as well the Samsung S8. The pamphlet clearly states the Red Select + package at R649 per mnth, for the 128gb red iPhone, as well as the offer is limited to the Vodacom shops in Mall of africa, as well as Woodmead retail park, valid till 31 May 2017. I decided to go straight to the Mall of africa to sign up for the advertised deal. The staff were well aware of the package; however I was unable to sign up immediately, as I still needed to port from my current service provider. The sales consultant took down my details adding to a list in her notebook already populated and confirmed that she would order me a phone, and that the moment my number was converted to prepaid, I should come in and sign up. I converted my number at 8am this morning (as the service provider cancellations department is closed on the weekend). I also gathered the relevant information, bank statements etc. I then drove to the Mall of africa after work, to sign up and collect my phone. To my dissatisfaction, upon getting there, I was advised by the Vodacom store consultant that Vodacom had apparently misprinted these pamphlets and that they will not be honouring the deal. I find this completely unacceptable, as this is a misrepresentation and I demand the deal be honoured, as I plan on taking this matter further.. As per the South African Consumer Protection Act, No. 68 of 2008, signed on 24 April 2009, the purpose of which is to protect the interests of all consumers. I refer to 'Right to fair and honest dealing' and 'the right to protection against false, misleading or deceptive representations'. Vodacom is not permitted to provide, deceptive or misleading representations regarding services and products! A Vodacom representative needs to contact me immediately.
upgrade
To Whom it may concern
I upgraded on the 8th of May 2017 and they did send me the wrong parcel.
Ram did collect the wrong parcel and You received it back.
Im a still waiting for my upgraded phone as we are going into week 3 now!
The nr in question is [protected]
You need to resolve this issue today or cancel my contract.
I can’t go on with this service I have been a loyal customer at Vodacom for over 10yers.
Help me please,
Cell phone number: [protected]
Order number: VODACOMONLIN-[protected]
SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 LTE Smartphone (SM-G950)
Orchard Grey
Total cost: R1118, 00 p/m
Package with upgrade included: Handset, Vodacom rugby Jersey (bulls xl), Accessory pack (if there is no jerseys left now? after three and a half weeks? I expect something in its place)
Delivered: Accessory Pack and sim card
My husband did an online upgrade on Sunday 7 May 2017. As expected his new handset would have arrived in the next two or three working days. That was not the case.
On Thursday 11 May 2017 a package was delivered by RAM couriers at Krombek 35, Thabazimbi (our home). Big excitement, and then disaster strikes. In the package we only receive a sim card and the accessory pack for the Samsung S8 we ordered, but no handset.
On that same afternoon I reported it on the vodacom upgrade helpline number:
[protected]
The operator was very kind and helpful and told me that there was a system error on Vodacom's side and that the accessory pack that was delivered to me will be picked up in a few working days by the same courier. Only then the upgrade will be cancelled and my husband can then do a new upgrade. Sounded good to me! If only that was the case.
A week after I phoned the helpline again, spoke to another operator, because the package was not yet picked up! She told me that it can take up to 14 days for the package to be picked up, other than the previous operator on 11 May who told me that it would only take a few days. So we waited another 7 days. No courier in sight.
Fourteen days passed, no courier. Again I phoned the same helpline, spoke to another operator who then told me that I must keep the accessory kit and she will speak to the manager only to send me the handset then. This will be in a few working days. Ha ha ha!
Yesterday I reached my limits and phoned again! What kind of service is this, and doesn't the costumer come first. Can you believe that the operator tells me we had bad timing when doing the upgrade! Can this be true. Any case she also told me the accessory packs for the S8 are no longer available and that I must keep the accessory pack and only the phone will be delivered to us, but, she cannot say when? She will let my husband know. And time is passing, all we have is a vodacom box, a simcard and a accessory pack. Also I can guarantee that the upgrade amount of R200 will be added to this months account and that the higher amount for the contract will be charged, because according to your system, we have upgraded the contract. So we will be paying for something we have not received yet.
I am expecting feedback as soon as possible and a handset delivered to my doorstep, because 3 and a half weeks have passed since the upgrade has been done!
yeah i know right, im sitting in the same situation this is ridiculous
poor service with upgrade online
My name is Tanja Juries [protected] Id [protected] wants to complaint regarding poor service at Vodacom Table View. I recently cancelled an contract [protected] when upgrade was due, to find out the contract was not cancelled. I am being paying for months for a contract that suppose to be cancelled. What pathetic service. Please I want my money back. On top of all I recently upgrade my phone online. Received my phone a week later to find out the phone was faulty. I cancelled the upgrade due to no communication after a week. Please advise I have a few contracts that is still due this year. I will gladly cancel them all. I am highly irate regarding the poor service.
previous autopage customer
Gerda Botha - [protected]
I have always been an Autopage customer. Then it appears last year sometime you took over Autopage. I have not received any statements, can not log in anywhere or know when the phone is due for upgrade. The phone's debit order payment goes off monthly from my bank account.
I phoned Vodacom customer care to help me find out what is going on on my account. They cant find me on the system. Then I speak to somebody else. They say I had an account in 2009 which was deleted due to non-payment! I HAVE NEVER HAD A PREVIOUS VODACOM ACCOUNT BEFORE! You only took over Autopage last year then!?! I get cut off or transferred back to switchboard. Your service is pathetic to say the least!
My query is on my Autopage contract phone [protected]. Please check this and send my details and statement to gerdabotha.[protected]@gmail.com
Thank You.
