This is being a Nightmare
Fraudulent Cell Phone contract was opened in my name. Ok these things Happen
i phoned vodacom on the 11th June, they have not resolved this up today
every time you phone you get transferred to another section then that section transferred me back to the original section.
This month they going to debit me An extra R1058 FOR THIS FRAUDULENT Number.
No one has help me resolve this, Vodacom in my eyes is completely incompetent
I have given them an affidavit from the police, even went to vodacom,
and guess what they also couldn't help me
my last resort i been to my bank and cancelled my debit order and i will wait for them to phone me.

On 27 Oct 2016 I did an upgrade to Samsung Galaxy J1 mini phone via Talkabout Cellular North Ridge Mall, Bloemfontein their invoice T001082774. Vodacom account number I [protected]
I have had numerous problems - overheating and incessant dropping of calls (mainly Whatsapp but also on landline connections), unsolicited forwarding of photos and messages.
First complaint, lodged in Bethlehem was investigated by in-shop technician who pronounced 'no problem'. Later also in Bethlehem referred for repair 25 Feb 2017 Seq No. 1675696 refers to 'all previous problems persist from job [protected]" returned 27 Feb with Test Script GS D9018.RBT as 'repaired device' Returned to Talkabout Cellular in May /June and returned 22June 2017 with a new Sim Card [protected]. My query was handled courteously by consultant Westus.
Overheating seems to be resolved but today interruption to a connected call with a voice mail message from a name in my address book. I have established that this person was not attempting to contact me. I have had numerous interruptions from various sources since having this phone.

I am totally frustrated with this USELESS phone and feel that attempts to resolve the difficulties could go on forever. Surely a replacement is the answer !

I received a sales call on 07.07.2017 where the sales person, I think, deliberately mislead me in believing that I would keep my same number with the offer he made me and I only found out on 04.08.2017 that I in fact got a new number, when I went into the Waterfront Vodacom store for the third time.
I logged a dispute on 06.08.[protected]) when I found out that I got a second number and not an upgrade on my current number. No reference number was given when this dispute was logged.
No one came back to me so I tweeted Vodacom111 and someone came back and said the Rewards department will cancel my contract and contact me.
After some time I still did not get a call, I tweeted again, and I was informed that the contract will not be cancelled as I agreed to this new contract. What I understood I was agreeing to, was that I would keep my current number, but that I would get a Samsung tab and 200 minutes per month for 24 months. During this sales call I was told that I will keep my number at no point was I told I will get a second number. I did not understand how the tab and my cellphone would function on the same number, but the sales person could not (or would not) explain this to me, because if he just said there will be two different numbers and you can cancel your current number, I would not have agreed to this new contract. I have had my current number since 1994. I don’t want a new number and I certainly don’t need two lines.
I still have not had a call back from the dispute I logged. When logging this dispute I requested that I too wanted to listen to this sales call again. The lady informed me I could go to my closest store to have a listen. She did not even ask which store that would be. I would still want to listen to this call, if you can inform me when and where I can do this or maybe you can e-mail me the audio file.
I want to speak to someone that has listened to the sales call and that is in position to make decisions.
I am happy to have this 24 month upgrade on my current number.
Also I received the new device on 14 July and was charged for the full month of July. Is that also stated somewhere in the small print that one would get charged the full month even though I only have the device for part of the month?
This is not the first time I have been bullied into a contract I did not want from Mondo and if this is not resolved I will be going to the ombudsman and logging a complaint.
Looking forward to a quick response.

Gooday, i hope that this mail will get Vodacoms att. I am deeply concerned at how you abandon your good customers!For 3 months i mailed you, hello petered you, sent affidavits, put in writting that as pensioners we could not afford current contract, only to be told today i could do a migration! My question " why did nobody at customer svs, business, accounts, solutions and many more consultants (3 mnths) worth and weekly calls and 1hr25min today... could have told us this 3months ago? Why did you as service providers not offer this alternative solution 3 months ago! We have 2x contracts currently with you, all family and friends have contracts! We have been excellent credible account holders for 20yrs plus, and this is the treatment we get! I am at the end of the long road we have travelled with vodacom!offer a credible solution! Check your logged queries and complaints... i have to repeat 3 months of hard work that i have done to keep in contact with you!FOR GOODNESS SAKE do something to keep your customers! Account has got out of control now, which could have been avoided 3 MONTHS AGO!

Date of the incident: 17 July 2017
Client number: [protected]

On the 17 July 2017 I was robbed and my phone was stolen. I went to Vodacom 4 U at the Glen Shopping Centre, where I requested for a sim swop to be done. Where upon I was told that the phone was on a contract belonging to a business therefore they would need a letterhead of authorization. Which I proceeded to do and the company sent the letterhead. Yet to no prevail, I then get told that I would have to pay the R63 for the sim swop and a further R380 for the arrears on the account which I proceeded to do. After paying the R443. I get told that it's going to take an hour to do the sim swap. So I went about doing my other business and returned an hour later. Whereby I get told that she still waiting for a response as there was a error if I wouldn't mind they will rather call me to come pick up the sim card as to having me wait around. So I left and went home and await their call.

It's now almost two months later. Nobody has bothered to call me and I find this highly appropriate. As I had given them 3 numbers where they could call me.

Yesterday 23/08/2017. I called Vodacom and was told the sim swap was done, but now they have lost the sim card, can't relocate it and having trouble to do another sim swap and this after I had already paid so much money. I would really like for this matter to be sorted out because as I told the sales lady I use that number for my business. So I'm loosing busy due to not having that number that is linked to everything including my emails which is most important and the data that I get with my contract every month, I have now also lost.

I've had no problem with Vodacom so far. But this incident has left me highly unsatisfied and huge knock in the pocket and just no solutions have been brought forward.

Hi,
When the Samsung S7 released on the 11/03/2016, I upgraded my contract,
and was told I would receive the 24 months warranty ADH,
this week my phone got damaged, and now I am told the ADH was for 12months only. I was under the impression that it was 24 months as I was told and demand that my phone be repaired as now they saying it was 12 months

I am a business customer. I have been charged for 5 Wifi-routers that was sent back within 4 days of delivery as the consultant did not give me the correct information. Vodacom ordered the collection and I have the supporting email that returning the items was not a problem. However after 6 months speaking to different people in different departments that keep calling me asking if I am satisfied with their service (seriously not) I am still charged for these routers. This must be the worst customer service ever. I am due for upgrades on a few of my company phones and am looking at other service providers to move my business contract to because of the mismanagement of my account. If I am having this type of trouble on a business account I feel other Vodacom customers very sorry!

This is my second compliant regarding an upgrade on [protected].
The confirmed upgrade is R499, the first communication I received following the upgrade was for R966. I logged a compliant and still have not received an explanation for this? I got SMSs but no decency to contact a very unhappy customer.
I know receive an account for R800, I refuse to pay more than the confirmed upgrade of R499!
What are you people doing? This is absolutely frustrating. Clearly you don't have a customer centric company on profit centric!
I will NOT pay R800.
Contact me on 0091 [protected] within the next day

Good day,

On Monday 21 August 2017, i was an affected client like many other clients, with the disappearing data, the data that went missing was 2gb which i purchased on Saturday, on Monday upon realizing my data is depleted i purchased more. Tuesday morning i called Vodacom they advised it will be reinstated by end of business, which did not happen.
Wednesday i called to advise that, that i was not refunded and they escalated my problem in the interim i received this call logged reference number - AJ-UCG7-JS1W6, advising someone will contact me in 48 hours, i am still awaiting someone to call me and whilst waiting VODACOM suspended a prepaid account... when i try and make outgoing calls, i get a voice prompt messaging service saying my account is suspended, Vodacom's customer service manager advised i ask for this.
please can someone contact me ?

I can probably account for 4 occurrences where my data bundles were immediately depleted after loading them. I initially thought it was some of my apps, but even after switching everything off/disabling cellular network to all apps, I still received a SMS seconds later informing me that my data has been depleted. That's real money, all gone. With no explanation. This is definitely not what one expects when you use the service of a service provider that claims to be one of the best. Please help Vodacom. Anyone actually.

I have had a sufficient amount of data +-1gig and I have now received a message informing me that I have no data. I have called Vodacom on 111 and spoke to a lady by the name of Tebego who works for Vodacom customer service, ref number for her [protected]. She was extremely unhelpful and did not understand what I was trying to ask her. I don't think we need to deal with people who don't take their jobs seriously. DISGUSTED AT VODACOM. Further action will be taken to resolve the issue.

refer id :[protected]

I, Patricia Ponono, I'd no [protected]. Lodge a claim with vodacom outlet, King William's Town. I took out an insurance and when I upgraded, I didn't cancel the insurance. My number is [protected].

I submitted a query on the 2nd August and was told it would take 24 - 48 hours for you to get back to me with regard to having no data on the 1st August on both my Wifi devices. 1 Vodafone and the other a Huawei Mobile Wifi.
Went into the Alberton store and they said it will take at least 2 weeks, in the meantime although I have paid you for my data which I did not get I have had to buy data to enable me to have data. YOUR TWO WEEKS ARE UP AND I HAVE STILL NOT HAD THE DECENCY OF A CALL.
Vodacom keep you on the phone for hours and your problem is not resolved, and they still do not have the curtesy to phone.
I was told that they had reset my Vodafone and yet I still do not have data.
Data does not disappear please explain.

Sandy Watson

Loaded airtime yesterday on my phone and had over 400 meg data and this morning all my balances are zero. My tablet had over 1.2 gig of data and that is also ZERO today. Tried phoning vodacom but they cant help as their system has not been updated yet. The lady went on to tell me that vodacom is not responsible if I misuse my data. When I went on to explain that I have WiFi at home she became defensive. If vodacom dont come back to me today with an answer I will go to the ombudsman and I will cancel my contract with vodacom.

Good morning
I am emailing again with regards to the issue of data and airtime that was taken from mu phone yesterday and to date it has not been returned, one other issue is that i recharge and my airtime and data lasts for literally few min then it's depleted, i am aware of apps that might be the reason, however i have not had such experience before.

Can vodacom please reimburse as promised thank you

Hi
I am very disappointed with Vodacom. I have been using Vodacom for a couple of years. I had a 345MB data and R30 airtime yesterday morning past 8 the morning when I checked and 6 in the evening had 0.15MB data and 0 airtime. Later I brought 1GB for 14days again and today 16:02 had only 326MB left. I am considering moving to Telkom mobile now. I don't see me using and referring people to use Vodacom again sorry but your service disappoint me.

On Saturday 19/08/2017. I checked my data bundle balance, it 1.39GB and today I received an sms saying that I have less than 17MB data bundle left. I don't understand what happened because I didn't use internet on the weekend except for WhatsApp and Facebook (Opera Mini). I tried to call the customer care line and it didn't go through. I want to enquire what happened to the rest of my data bundle. My number [protected]
