Elite Mobile South Africa - Vodacom upgrade via elite mobile

The new Samsung cellphone that got delivered as part of the new upgrade was faulty. The Elite Mobile agents then had a delivery person retrieve the phone from my residence. I was awaiting further information about when I would receive a new phone, but no one had gotten back to me after a few days. On multiple occasions I called to the number and they were...

Elite Mobile South Africa False information given

Agent from 'vodacom' called me and offered a better deal then what I'm getting from my contract. Asked agent if I would still pay the same amount if I agree to migrate to the new tariff. Agent advised me that my installment would still be the same. I agreed to the migration. When the invoice came for the new month I was charged more money. I called vodacom to inquire about the charges and they told me the tariff I migrated to was more expensive hence the higher bill. I was advise ld that Agent who called me was from elite mobile and they gave me the contact number. I called elite mobile on the 17th of July, advised them of what I was told by Agent and laid a complaint. Agent who was assisting me logged a complaint and said I wiyld receive feedback. 2 weeks later and no feedback so I called them again where I was told the Agent who logged the complaint would call me to give me feedback and I'm still waiting.

Desired outcome: A refund

Elite Mobile South Africa Scammed into contract

Elite mobile is scamming unsuspecting people. I got a call from them explaining my current contract is no longer offered by Vodacom, and that they would put me on a new cheaper contract. They said the benefit would be I pay less and get more monthly data. I agreed

A few days later, the courier company delivered a phone, which I signed for. Being confused I phoned customer care to query what was going on. I was told I had upgraded and entered a new 24 month contract, which came with a phone. I told them that, that is not what I agreed to and want to cancel the new contract and return the phone they sent. They agreed

The next two months was a nightmare of phone calls and back and forth trying to get the courier company to collect the phone so they could cancel the contract. The customer care was rude and accusatory. It reminded me of tactics used by the church of scientology to pressure people into submitting. We have still not sorted this issue and they have still not fetched the phone

Upon a bit of further investigation, it turns out my initial contract is still being offered and was not discontinued as I was told

Criminals

Desired outcome: The company should be shut down

Elite Mobile South Africa Migration from sms's to more data

I am a Vodacom contract customer who was contacted by Elite mobile to migrate my SMS's on my existing package to more data with no extra charges.

I get my June bill and it's double. I've lodged a complaint to both Vodacom and Elite who have advised their agent was compliant. I kept asking her if I'd be charged more and she said no.

They do not want to pass me a credit of which I really need.

Ticket Ref 4043756

Desired outcome: Credit my Vodacom account to original amount on my number

We had a similar experience. We were told that my contract was no longer offered and I could go onto a cheaper contract, which was a lie. We were essentially scammed into a new 24 month contract under false pretenses. They are criminal

Elite Mobile South Africa Scam

I was contacted by Kiara Jagganh from Elite Mobile during April to tell me that I can save on the contracts that I have with Vodacom. Saving of almost R200.00 which might not seem much, but it would have help me. I was promised copies of the contracts. At the End of May an amount of almost R900.00 more was deducted from my account and only when the debit order went through, I received my updated contracts. I logged a call with Elite Mobile and they said they would listen to the recordings. I phone several times and was told that I would be refund an amount of R4400 before the next debit order. Nothing happended and when I phone in [protected] to ask about the refund, the line manager said that it won't be refunded, put me on hold and never returned to my call. I received a sms from vodacom stating the there was a price error with my June bill and will be fixed

Ref from Elite mobile 3964667

Desired outcome: Refund my money and I would like an apology for the poor service and misselling.

Elite Mobile South Africa Promised Cellphone Contract Not Delivered

Elite Mobile promised me cellphone contract and made me sign up for Value Added Services. I never received the cellphone contract but they went ahead with deducting for the so-called value added.

I believe it is wrong to promise something and not deliver but sneak other services in the guise as services bundle. I have corresponded with them to no success

Elite Mobile South Africa Vodacom Contract misleading sales call

I was called by a sales consultant who offered to change my night-time data on my contract to anytime data for an additional cost of R 10

I accepted - When i got my bill they had billed me almost R 300 extra.

I reported this Ref no 3810587.

They then charged another R 575 penalty fee the change my contract back to what it was before.

After an investigation they admitted to misleading me on the sales call and then agreed to refund the money.

They said 14 Days for the refund.

After 16 days still no refund

When I call they say another 14 days

When I asked to speak to a manger; I was told management dont take calls!

I cant believe that after admitting to basically taking money out of my bank account without my authorisation they cant even do the refund on time!

What a disgrace

Desired outcome: I want my money back!

I have been using Elite Mobile for years. My one contract has expired but for some reason the debit order still gets debited to my banking account.

All your numbers are inactive.

Elite Mobile South Africa Laptop and router

Property that was delivered to me laptop was taken back by the courier company after I have complained about the Router that was not delivered together with the laptop that I was ordered from your company.

You company instead of sending the Router,they sent back the courier to come and pick it up the next day laptop. Since then never come back to me. What is surprising is that the contract was countinuing from December 2019 till now.

For a period of time which is 36 months. But the properties are not with me .

I have learned about this last month. When one of your consultants contacted me. That my contract have finished paid I qualify to upgrade .At that point I was surprised. Since the properties was not with me and all the time I was paying for the property that was not with me. The sim card was [protected].

The consultant who was selling the the property online contract an Indian lady miss Naidoo knows about it even when the courier was sent to collect it at jhb central police station.

So I have no option I just want all my money back.

Because even the people who attended my Router complain they said they sort out the problem till today. Instead they sent courier to pick up Lunovo laptop. Then continued with my contract. Knowing that they sent courier to take back the laptop instead of sending the Router.

I hope that this matter will be attended soon.

Regards

Sipho mhlongo+[protected]

Desired outcome: I hope this matter can be resolve and my money that was being taken from 2019 December till now.

Elite Mobile South Africa Rip off

I got a call from a consultant selling me a data sim card. He handed me over to a supervisor who tried to sell me additional products and i declined the products.

Long story short, i got a message from elite mobile saying due to my credit record i have been declined and few minutes later i got debi check messages from my bank requesting me to approve the instalments from elite mobile and i declined the debi check messages because i was not approved due to credit record.

Now to my surprise ,come month end August 2022, Elite mobile deducted money from my account even though i declined debi checks and i do not have the sim card but i am paying for something that i did not qualify for.

Desired outcome: Please refund my money and cancel that contract,i would also like to get an apology from the company.

Elite Mobile South Africa Unauthorised debit order

DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY, THEY ARE UNETHICAL AND UNTRUSTWORTHY.

They offered me a deal when my vodacom contract ran out. They assured me about 3 times that one amount of R150 would be deducted. Like a fool I trusted them, but the following day received an email saying 2 amounts would be deducted, the R150 plus R159. I decided to cancel, which was 4 days later, in writing.

They assured me it was cancelled, but come month end, the 2 amounts were deducted.

When I queried, they said they had a cooling off period of 21 days, meaning they were still entitled to deduct money from me in that time, without refunding the money.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU AVOID THEM TOTALLY.

Online, I found the following:

Does Elite Mobile allow me to cancel my order?

Elite Mobile offers a cooling-off period. You have seven days to change your mind if you have entered into an agreement for the supply of products and/or services through their website. Elite Mobile shall have 30 days to pay you back in full after you have notified them in writing. If you have already received products, you will have to return them at your own expense before receiving a refund.

Is Elite Mobile trustworthy?

Elite Mobile has a large number of unfavorable reviews. The company is accused of unethical behavior, misinformation, and failing to comply with its legal obligations. Elite Mobile doesn’t address complaints, and we highly recommend you to stay away or be careful when dealing with them.

Desired outcome: My R300 refunded

Elite Mobile South Africa Takealot voucher promotion upon renewal of contract

During December I received a call from Elite Mobile thanking me for being a valued customer and offering a R4000.00 Takealot voucher if I renewed my sim card contract. Which I agreed to I was asked where the voucher must be sent and I provided my cellphone number (not the sim card related to the promotion) and explained the sim they are giving me a promotion on is a data line. I also provided my email address.

I have been calling since January at least 3 times every month asking for this voucher. The response initially was we will send it to the number you provided then I was told then sent it to the data sim which I specifically asked them not to do and that the email address on their system was incorrect. I asked the call agent to correct the information and I was told to wait.

I followed up constantly and was told the matter will be resolved. 6 months later I am being told that the Takealot voucher expired in February and they sent it to the data sim. I explained that this was never the agreement and they should resolve it because I was clear about where they must send it and I called several times prior to the voucher expiring and they delayed the process of sending it to the correct email and cell phone number.

I am beyond disappointed and they have not upheld their end of the contract, this is a direct breach.

Desired outcome: I want my Takealot Voucher as was promised or I want the total amount of installments I paid to be returned to me.

Elite Mobile South Africa Contract, which I didn't sign, canceled

On 1 June 2022, Elite mobile phoned me and say they are from Vodacom and want to offer me a new contract. My current contract expire on 30 June 2022. I said I want to continue with the same benefits without a new device. She then offered me a package to the value consisting of R199 airtime (value R230) abd R38 for 2GB data. I agree to that. A week ago I realised that I didn't receive the email. Went to the Vodacom shop and they printed the so-called contract. t was not correct. Only then I realised the I was tricked to think it was Vodacom. Yesterday, 29 June 2022 I phoned an canceled, which was a mission, tgey didn't want to. I insisted that I didn't sign anything, di to me there us no contract. Today an amount of R159 + R3,50 fir a debit order for a Debicheck payment and collection fee. According to me, today is my last day if my contract and I don't have a new one.

This Debicheck is fraudulant and Elite mobile is stealing my money. How can they ask for a debicheck if it is still during my old contract date and there is no signed contract?

Desired outcome: Please refund me for the payment of R159 as well as the R3,50 collection fee. I want the manager to phone me and apologise for all the inconvenience, unnecessary phone calls and all this while I am in bed with Bronchitis.
