Vodacom

Dear

On the 21/09/2022 I sent an email Mr Khumalo as per Kitash's instruction to date the information has not been updated on your records as a result I have not received the device I ordered even though the deduction for this device goes off my account every month. I even went to one of your branches in Clearwater as per advice from two of your consultants even there I was not assisted because of your organisation's failure to correctly record my name.

I would appreciate urgent feedback on this query.

Thank you,

M Jara

Hi there

We applied and was approved for vodacom fiber the entire process started close to the end of september. There was some miscoomunication at the begining of october, however it was resolved and we decided to continue with vodacom. We have a pre-existing fiber line with vumatel so installation is not necessary.

So since last week tuesay we have been trying to get the fiber activiated. And finally on friday after getting the release confirmation letter from vumatel so that vodacom can continue, they promised me that the fiber line will be activated. The ticket was assigned to thabang. It is now 4 days later and still nothing happened, after numerous calls and spending over r600 on data. They told me again this morning that the line has not be activated yet. Which I know because that is all I am hearing the enitre weekend. And they will escalte the matter!

I am now at a point where by they can come and collect the dam router and cancel my entire order. I have had it with both vodacom and vumatel.

We do not have dstv so we stream, my family has been without any entertainement since last week tuesday.

This is terrible service delivery, but they are quick to disconnect and hand a person over if payment is not made.

I am fed up!

I have a Vodacom contract for 5 years now.. I applied for a home internet bundle this morning for R550pm, Vodacom replied in the afternoon and said that Im approved but do not qualify. I found this strange because I have a good credit score, I don't miss any payments, whether it's with Vodacom or any other service provider.

I phoned Vodacom to find out why and they stated its because of my low credit score.. according to them it's below 300 and I can only qualify for a deal below R200 a month. This is actually dumb because the contract phone I have with them I'm paying R620pm.

My contract is due for an upgrade soon and I wonder if they're gonna have an issue with that too.

Out of curiosity checked my credit score and it's 673 out of 705.

I previously had a telkom package which I was paying R950 a month and they didn't ever have an issue.

I spoke to 6 different consultants and nobody could assist.

Vodacom is incredibly difficult to deal with and if you want headaches then go to them.

I have cancelled the contract for [protected] about 2 months ago and it is still active. I have 3 contracts with Vodacom.

Please advise how I can get the contract cancelled as it is difficult to get it sorted out. I have requested statement for my account to be emailed to

[protected]@plplabels.com and still not received since July 2022.

My cell no [protected].

Please assist.

Good day I had a contract phone with Vodacom. [protected] was my contract number. I was in Credit of more than R 17 000 and I cancelled my contract and made it a pre-paid number. I have been asking for a refund from Vodacom and yet they still deducted a monthly subscription every month even though the sim is not even in a device. I have sent them proof of payment and bank confirmation for them to refund my credit yet None of my e mails or calls are answered. This is money that is owed to me and that was in credit.

Hi There,

I have been out of the country for 3 months and my cell number has been 'deleted'. I have contacted Vodacom support multiple times to no avail.

I have had this number for 15 years and I do not understand how you can just deleted my number after 90 days.

I urgently need this number to be reactivated as I run many aspects of my business through it.

Please get back to me urgently.

I took out a 24 month Uncapped LTE Wifi home internet contract on 3 September. Funds were in my account for the debit order, which was never deducted. 7 October 2022 a double deduction plus a penalty of R100 was then attempted from my account, unsuccessfully. I was also never advised of some start up amount of R57. I have emailed Vodacom numerous times to resolve, and I have called the Sales guy at Vodacom Northridge Mall Bloemfontein who sold me the deal, with no satisfaction. Nobody emails me back. To date no monies have been deducted from my account for my new contract. I have asked Vodacom to waive the penalty as I have been misinformed, or ill-advised about this whole deal.

Furthermore, I am unhappy in that the Sale's person also never advised me fully about the conditions of this contract, and also never advised me truthfully about the other wireless sim card deal that I actually would have preferred. I am needing to sort this out and change my contract urgently please - CELL NUMBER [protected] - EMAIL [protected]@msn.com

To whom it may concern

I am writing this email and are also going to forward it to Helo Peter and the Ombudsman.

I am just fed up with Vodacom's service.

A lady phoned me to upgrade my contract, on the phone we agreed that I will receive the S22Ultra, with the smartwatch. She also said that I will only pay for my new phone and not my old phone, that was also thw wrong information, because I WAS BILLED FOR BOTH PHONES.

The phone with the Smartwatch was delivered to me on the 19th of August 2022. It was the wrong phone, the S22 and not the S22Ultra. I phoned Vodacom on the 22nd August 2022, the guy told me somebody will come and fetch the phone, he did not give me any number or told me that I must get a number. The next day 23rd August Lesego phoned me to come and collect the phone, his numer [protected], he came the afternoon at 14:30, let me sign a paper, I only saw that it was the wrong paper after I saw on my invoice that VODACOM is billing me for the phone that I have returned. So Lesego definitly stole the phone and the smartwatch, nothing was returned to VODACOM.

I phoned VODACOM on the 12th of September 2022, the they said I must wait 72 hours to

investigate, nothing happened, I phoned again on the 19th of September 2022, they said I must wait 3 to 5 working days, nothing happened, I phoned again on the 24th of September, nothing happened, I phoned again on the 26th October 2022, nothing happened, I STILL HAD NO ANSWER. I phoned on the 3rd of October 2022 (now you have already billed me on this phone that I don't have on the 2nd of October 2022). On the 3rd of October Banyaya said I must wait 48 hours, REF number [protected]) today is the 11th of October 2022, I have not received an answer yet. I phoned today again on the 11th of October, spoke to Nomolel who had cut me off, then I phoned back and Xoliswa said to me I must phone RAM. She also said the manager, Simphiwe, is going to phone me back before the end of the day. REF number: [protected])

Every time that I phoned they said that it shows that the phone is not returned. WE ALL KNOW THAT, this is not my responsibility, VODACOM has a leak and people are stealing phones in this way, VODACOM must do something about it not me and VODACOM is stealing my money now because I am paying for a phone that I don't have.

All the people that I phoned, I do not remember the specific names with the specific dates that I phoned VODACOM: Nadipele, Owetu, Nibisa, Salome, Pidi, Silena and the others I have mentioned in the email with the dates.

Thank you

In September i noted that Insurance is being charged against my account which i did not request neither authorised. I contacted Vodacom and i was assured it is a mistake and won’t be charged, that was indeed so.

In October it is now on my invoice for payment at the end of October in total an amount of R 330. I phoned them again and requested that this amount be removed. They send me a sms to say the insurance have been cancelled and that it was a system error, and that it will be deducted from my account and i will be credited the next month.

This is totally unacceptable, so they take my money and then only of the intention to refund it a month later, this constitutes fraud/theft. I am not the only one that this is happening to, imagine if they do this with a lot of their customers.

There is no reason that they cannot amend the invoice and remove this amount

I am writing this email with great disappointment, I have had no internet connection since 6th October 2022, I have notified your call center department numerous times and they have assured that a technician will be sent to my address and to date no one has been sent.

The frustrating part is that a technician is in my suburb how ever not able to attend to my enquiry as a ticket ref has not been assigned to him, I spoke to a consultant by name of andisiwe ziniya who was not able to give me reference for the call and rathe not professional , I then requested to speak to her team leader (sibusiso nkau) who was not in the office @11:07 am .

what a joke! Vodacom please take us seriously.

I do not like vodacom rewards program because vodacom on the 28 of September they promised my 60 years old mom that she won R31 000 and sumsung s 22 on top that the promised her a 74 cm hisense tv, 34kg washing machine, a two fridge, they that she has to buy R55 airtime x3 and donate R1600 on vodacom 's behalf. Out of those 5 things we got nothing and my mother 's heart is broken

So I conclude vodacom is expensive and a scam

here in lydenburg the town switches off during loadshedding but recently it switches off for most of the day but still I have to pay full price for not even halfday of internet

I will suggest Vodacom to anyone

all they want is money

and dont care about customer service

most of the customer care people are soo rude I get negative talking to them

HI

SHIREEN MOODLEY [protected] [protected]

I HAVE a few contract with Vodacom, I have been calling in so many times since last month regarding my contract which was wrongly upgraded and I need a reversal to be done and my contract end date to be changed back to end contract may 2023 for number [protected] I have been calling and speaking to so many consultants it like they take me for a fool and no1 can assist I desperately need this to be sorted out ASAP.

I REALLY NEED MY NUMBER FIXED HOW CAN I BE BAYING FOR MY PHONE FROM [protected] THIS IS MADNESS AND NO ONE AT VODACOM SEEMS TO CARE NOR WANNA HELP WHAT SHOULD I DO JUST STOP PAYIN GMY ACCOUNT SO THEY CAN PHON EME TO SORT IT OUT.

REF NO1 [protected]

REF NO2-005a0341beada507

My account is I86064359 and ID [protected]. Since I've started with this contract I've been billed more 3times the amount I've agreed on.

I've made a number of calls to cancel whatever that is adding on my installment but something new always comes up. It's really frustrating. This month a consultant called to remind me about the R328. 43 I needed to pay for my installment and then as always I was debited more today R1000.

I'm even thinking of closing the account because I think this is done purposely.

I was contacted end of July and advised they noticed I don't use my SMSs and asked if they can remove it and I will save R20. I don't use them at all and I said ok. Nothing further was discussed or agreed to. My debit order changed from R400 to R697 end of Aug because that agent changed my package. I called in and asked for the call to be listened to. I was advised that agent was wrong as we did not discuss package change and that they would revert to previous package and refund me. I have been debited R697 again. If this is not resolved I will be reversing the debit order and taking this to ombudsman.

I was unable to port my number on a new Vodacom contract because I was incorrectly advised by TWO consultants! When contacting, after sales I received the worst service from Loyiso (refused to escalate to a manager, no apology whatsoever), pointing fingers at Customer Care. Customer Care is pointing fingers at after sales so now I'm sitting with a new cellphone number that I don't want and and unresolved query... PATHETIC!

I have been trying to resolve and close my account with Vodacom for over a month.

My reference number: [protected]

My account was paid up weeks ago yet their so called "legal" department cannot simply send a letter stating that the account is paid and let ITC know.

In fact I feel it is being deliberately stalled.

I am going to continue to leave reviews all over the internet until this matter is resolved.

Since I tried upgrading online I have had the worst service ever. I have been with vodacom for over 10 years and now they tell me I only qualify for an A33 phone. I am done with vodacom now and am definitely moving to another provider. I dont get any answers, I am just being ignored by the online sales people, I sent emails, I tried applying on my app again and someone calls me back saying they will transfer me to accounts and then they drop the phone.

I purchased a phone online with Vodacom in July, I returned the phone within 3 days. In July Vodacom took R669 from my account for the phone as it was on contact. They acknowledged that the phone was returned. Yet they have not returned my money. I've called their customer care line for almost 2 months now, and it's September and they still have not returned my money. Pathetic company. Quick to take but take forever to return what is rightfully mine. I will never use Vodacom again. I'm also changing my wifi services that I use with this ridiculous company.

Good day

I trust all is well.

ACCOUNT NUMBER - VB018868-9

On the 25th August 2020, I signed up for Vodacom Fibre at my residence.

This was initially signed up as a business account however there was endless issues every time I tried to log a complaint. Since 5th September 2020, I have been experiencing issues with my connection, I reported the matter and was advised that the router is the issue and will be changed. To date the router has not been changed. My fibre line is up and running for the first two weeks and the next two weeks we are offline, this is a monthly occurrence since September 2020. I have logged numerous queries regarding same and to date have not been refunded for each month been offline. I have lost business to the value of +/- R100 000.00 due to us been offline and unable to respond to my clients within the deadline allocated. Going forward I have again been offline since 08th August 2022 which I logged a fault. To date ( 06/09/2022) we are still offline however my account has been debited for the amount of R899.00 per month for which, ever since September 2020 I am only connected from the 1st of the month till the 12th from the 12th to the 30/31st we are offline. on the 22nd August 2022 @ 11:03am I called Vodacom Fibre and requested a cancellation, I was given an SR number and the consultant advised me that this will be cancelled on the 22/09/2022 however today i called in and was told that there is no information available on the mentioned SR number and that the consultant I spoke to today will have to log the cancellation today therefore I have to again pay R899 for the month of October 2022. i have moved to another service provider since Vodacom has no idea when our services will be restored. How am I liable to pay for services I am not receiving? I want this account cancelled with immediate effect and to be refunded for the days I have been offline.
