Vodacom incorrect contract information and overcharging

I have been a loyal customer of Vodacom's for over 15 years, with a contract that is costing me on a monthly basis over R1000.
Over the last couple of years, I have been on contract which includes a monthly bundle for airtime, data and sms', which I have always set data and airtime monthly limit in order to manage my finances. As of 8 months ago, I upgraded my mobile to a S7 and once again requested that a mthly limit be set on my data, as well as my airtime - which has recently not been complied with, and I have had to pay in because of exceeding my monthly data usage. However, if I want a limit set for just my data to be cut off, apparently they are not able to do this without "freezing my sim card" regardless if I have airtime available to use. I know for a fact, that both MTN & Cell C have such contracts available and are able to assist. Having tried to phone the customer service line I was told a Customer Service Manager was only available between 9am & 4pm weekdays and they would only be able to confirm my cancellation contract amount after the 4th of the month. Needless to say I am livid, totally and disappointed with Vodacom and will not be recommending them to any family or friends. I am willing to discuss this matter further with a Contract Manager or someone who is willing and able to assist me.

Vodacom everything

I bought a prepaid vodacom cellphone so i ported my cellphone number from mtn to vodacom. It was the biggest mistake i made. First of all, i spend about R1000 a month on airtime. I get absolutely no value for the money that i spend. The loyalty points are so pathetic. All the free talking points that vodacom offers has a catch because it has limits and restrictions. Second of all, i play the freeplay everyday and i think that i only won once or twice. And what did i win? 5mb of data. So ive decided to go back to mtn.

Vodacom sim swop on stolen sim card

Good day,

Client name: Letitia Oosthuizen
ID number: [protected]
Current Cellphone number: [protected]

Today was my 3rd time requesting a sim swop. My x finance has stolen my sim card and refuses to give it back in my possession.
Currently he is misusing this number [protected]) without my permission.

After several calls to the call centre (082 111), now one could assist me to cancel or sim swop this number. Everyone has a different story or answer.

I was at the Vodashop 3 times. I’ve tried to do a swim swop. With the application of the swim swop I’ve attached an avadavat that states he has stolen the sim card. Every time the sim swop was cancelled. According to the call centre they phoned [protected] and the person that answered said that the sim card must not be swop. In the first place Vodacom shouldn’t phone [protected] because the card is stolen by that person, therefor he can give permission on anything on this sim card. This is actually fraught, he is not allowed to give any permission on this number because I am RICA/FICA under this sim card number.

Hope that someone would please help me as soon as possible. At this stage I’m very frustrated because I don’t know any more what to do. Usually when something has lost or stolen item, we are under the impression that it can be cancelled or stop, but it seems more difficult?

Regards,

Letitia

Vodacom future upgrade quote

Future Upgraded Quote
On 13.12.2016 I tried upgrading over the phone. The phone cut out before I could decide between 2 phones. I received a message saying a quote was generated. The next morning I received a message from RAM saying they have a parcel for me.

Not being at home, they didn't want to give the device to my husband. I phoned upgrades to find out which device they are delivering and was told the normal iPhone. I told them it's the wrong device and was told to tell RAM to return the device. On 15.12.2016 I told RAM over the phone to return the device to Vodacom to enable me to upgrade to the correct device.

On 19.12.2016 I logged a request to have the upgrade reversal done. On 21.12.2016 the reversal was done with return number K ********** .

On 26.12.2016 another service request was logged to have the future open quote cancelled to enable me to upgrade.

Between 19.12.2016 and 26.12.2016 an ISD was logged as well.

I'm told that all their managers are on leave - how pathetic! I refuse to speak to a team leader as they all promise to phone back before the end of the day and the never get back to me.

I'm receiving messages that the service requests are closed, but nobody is cancelling the quotes to enable me to upgrade.

I have now gone to social media twice who is just as pathetic. With 2 reference numbers received from them, they haven't done anything about this matter either.

The best part of it all... I am being told that I need to start paying for the upgrade that I don't even have the device for when I requested to have all my contracts cancelled with Vodacom. Not to mention that they can't cancel my contracts because of the future open quote.

Vodacom, I'm sick am fed up of fighting with you guys. Just get off your ### and close the future upgrade quote to enable me to upgrade my line or cancel all my contracts...!

Vodacom wrongly blacklisted and treated so unfairly by vodacom

I am disappointed with vodacom.In 2014, one of vodacom's subsidiaries offered me a new contract for a cell phone. I agreed only on condition that I will keep my number. When the time came to switch to the new contract, I was informed that I cannot keep my number. I contacted vodacom and mobile elite. They agreed that they are at fault and took their phone back.
I am now blacklisted and no one is taking accountability for it. I have been sent from pillar to point. The contact centre is very incompetent. I am at my watts end here. Can somebody from vodacom please take accountability and remove my name from the credit bereu.
To say I am disappointed with vodacom is an understatement.

Vodacom re: vodacom upgrades

Re: Upgrades
Good day
Please note that I cannot get hold of anyone senior in Upgrades (and I have been trying for two weeks now) in order to sort out an issue with double billing on Handsets. In 15 years of having a Cell Phone - this is the first time it has come up and I was not informed of the possible double charged and Vodacom sent me a SMS that I was due for an Upgrade. I have been battling with this issue since October and dispite promises by Team Leaders to have it sorted out and refund me the amounts charged as well as deduct the double billing from future invoices it has not been done. What kind of Customer Service is that? They ask you how easy is it to get through to someone who can help? It is damn near Impossible!
You eventually get through and then you are put on hold for over an hour and have to hang up. Really?
I wish I had never upgraded with Vodacom and they have definitely lost a future customer.
Regards,
Chelle

Vodacom request not attended to

I have lodged a request for cancellation of the recurring data services and Blackberry internet connection service, in November. Today again I called the call centre to inquire about the December invoice with the new amount of R 711.49. I was assisted by Vivian, who said she will send a reference number which she has not been sent. she failed to attend to my request just like the previous consultant I spoke to. Investigate my account and reimburse all the money that you have been unlawfully taking from my account.
Ill wait for your response

Vodacom unauthorized charges after cancelling contract

I phoned to cancel my contract way in advance, only to find out that they still take money for the next two months.

Phone number [protected]

This is theft.

If Vodacom do this to a few customers imagine how much money to they steal for the clients!

This is unacceptable!

They phone me back on 2/12/2016 with ref 1#[protected] promising to pay the money back only to find out now that they are not willing to pay back my money.

I phoned this morning and after waiting to speak to the supervisor I put the phone down after 10 min.

Vodacom unauthorized payments taken of my account

Purchased Laptop from Vodacom @ Makro. Two year contract. First instalment went off fine R459.00. Second instalment R2013.00 . Queried with no help or direction at all. I reversed payment at the bank. I assumed it was Vodacoms fault. In the meantime, line was closed and current instalment not taken off. Amount escalated to R3200.+-, queried once more. Still no help. Went through and paid. Applied for phone, was declined unknown as to what the problem was. Went through the reactivation process. First time around consultant at Pavilion said he sent through paper work but actually did not. Second time same documentation was sent from Westwood. Was informed R285.00 will go my account within 48 hours which did not. On the 28/12/2016 R7808.20 went off my account. Spent an entire morning querying with different people in different departments. Frustration on my part is indescribable.
Back to the bank to reverse amount.
Vodacom has no legal right to take off a cent more than what I signed for on the contract for the Laptop. Especially such a large amount.

Vodacom nicolway 4u service

I went on behalf of my mother and brother to receive their upgrades. I provided all necessary documents including a letter from the account holder. The employee who "helped" me was rude, disinterested and managed to take an hour and 23 minutes just to give me the upgraded phones. During the time that I was there an employee started yelling at the manager in the middle of the shop telling him that he is "acting like a child" in front of about 15 clients in the shop. Another employee could be heard loudly complaining about customers in the back room. Not to mention, the employee helping me could be seen through the window into the back room just standing there for about 10 minutes at a time before coming back to give me the phones. Eventually after and hour and 10 minutes I was told that the account manager needs to be phoned by him to confirm the upgrade; the account holder did not answer the call and when I asked what we should do all I got was a shrug. Eventually after another 13 minutes I managed to get the phones and pay (at snail's pace I might add). Every time I go to this Vodacom shop I leave in an absolutely terrible mood. Every client in that shop is treated with the exact same disgusting attitude by your employees. The Nicolway store has to seriously sort out their internal affairs as one of the clients mentioned this morning. ThIs Vodacom shop is an absolute disgrace and I am fully convinced that my family and I need to change service providers like so many other people have. Vodacom's service is disgraceful and the employees are incredibly rude and have no idea what is going on. I spent over R500 rand today and truly feel as though I wasted my money.

Vodacom contract cancellation not done

I had several contracts with Vodacom, but the ones in question are two Tablets.
Both 2GB MBB 24Mnth Contracts were due to expire in November 2016 after 24 months. One on the 8th and the other on the 29th.

End of October I went to the store to cancel them only to be told it needs to be done the beginning of November. On 1 November I sat in the queue to cancel my contracts. Not only was it my birthday but also 10 days after my Cesarean section so you can imagine how annoyed I am now that it was all in vain. I requested both to be cancelled and moved to prepaid. This was done by the agent and on the 3rd of November I received confirmation via sms. I assumed this was the end of it.
Knowing my contract was cancelled in November I purchased a Once Off 2GB MBB which can be seen on my statement.

It only recently came to my attention that Vodacom then also charged me for Subscription Charges (2GB MBB 24Mnth Contract). So my contract was never cancelled as requested but carried on as a R149.00 pm. The other contract was successfully cancelled.

So not only did I spend money on a 2GB once off, I was charged for a 2GB because they did not cancel my contract. I was however not given 4GB but my balance checks reflect only 2GB, so either my once off overwrote the 2GB contract or vice versa.
I will not pay for a service I never got. Either refund me my R149.00 or give me the missing 2GB.

As if that was not enough, I have incurred over R 675.05 in out of bundle data charges because I EXPECTED my contract to be cancelled therefore leaving mobile data on would not matter if applications tried to use background data. This would never have happened if Accounts had done their job. I refuse to be liable for this and should I not be reimbursed, I will take matters further. I have been a loyal customer for many years and expected more.
So horrified I rush back to the store that cancelled it, asking them how this can happen. They looked into it and confirmed that both emails were sent for cancellation and they did not know why one was cancelled and the other not. They called accounts and I was put through from one department to another each time explaining the issue. Eventually someone was willing to assist only to tell me that their system is offline (every time I need assistance this is the case) and I should call the next day. I refuse to call again because I don't have any proof that I called nor the time so the agent from the store told me their accounts lady was coming in and she would rectify the issue with me. He wrote her a detailed letter and promised me she would sort it out and email and call me. Another week passed and nothing. I went back to the store and told them nothing was done and they gave me this email address.
I am beyond fed up wasting my time chasing around to get a contract cancelled that I asked to be cancelled 2 months ago. Not only this but I have incurred insane charges and my bill is at R1161.66 which I surely cant afford on unpaid maternity leave with a newborn.

I have had contracts with Vodacom for over 10 years. Recently i have decided that 3 of my 4 contracts are coming to an end with a 2 - 4 months remaining. In October 2016 i got a quote from your cancellationd department and have paid the balance of these contracts to be ended on 30 October 2016.

I call weekly and send my docments as the customer service is #### and everyone says " its not my job".

Vodacom problems with cancellation of contracts

I left SA on 01 August 2016 and requested premature cancellation amounts on my Vodacom data contracts so that I knew I was paid up and the contracts cancelled before I left.
I paid the outstanding amounts which were quoted to me and I also completed the premature cancellation paperwork which I emailed to the cancellations department with proof of payment. That was on 05 July 2016.
I have been struggling ever since to have the contracts cancelled.
I am now living in the UK and am having endless hassles getting responses from Vodacom and having this matter sorted out. I can't understand that it can be this difficult.
I have now received threatening emails saying I am in arrears and to sort my account out before further action is taken. I refuse to pay Vodacom any more money and I feel they are trying to extort more money from me.
I need this matter sorted ASAP. I am NOT impressed with this shoddy customer service. Can Vodacom not do anything right?

Vodacom customer service - repairs

To Whom It May Concern:

I have been contract holder with Vodacom since 2009 and I am appalled at the type of service that is provided with "Loyal Customers" such as myself. Besides contracts with Vodacom, I also have my phone insured through Vodacom.
I have a Samsung 6 Edge which started giving problems by rejecting the charging cable and a pink line forming on the screen. The only way that I could charge my phone was by using the pod which is supplied with the Samsung 6 Edge. When I took it to Vodacom Kenilworth on the 29 November 2016, Zaahir Moses assisted to book it in and complete the insurance paperwork. I submitted all my documentation with the application. Which included my Identification. On the 30 November I received a phone call from somebody at the the store and they said that the application was incomplete because I did not submit Identification. I was at a family function at the time. I said that it is ridiculous because Zaheer took everything and made copies. This person insisted that I leave ( please note that I am due to give birth 13 January and in my final stages of a complicated pregnancy) and email them my identification if I want my phone repaired. I obviously have no choice to do this because I would want my phone to be done. I also asked if Zaheer is there to confirm what documentation he took from me, and the person said that he is on a break. I asked that he called me back. He did not.
After countless phone calls to Vodacom Kenilworth to find out by Zaheer what is the problem and why would they say that I did not submit ID when I did. He eventually is in the store to take my call. I asked for the manager and he said that he is the manager. Which completely surprised me because as a manager, you have a far greater accountability for your actions then the rests. He said there was a mistake and that he did have my copy of ID. I already left a function and emailed by this time (3 days earlier). After more phone calls of none responses from the manager Zaheer, I eventually just spoke to a female Robyn to ask what the status of my phone was. This is now 12 working days later. Please note, my insurance phoned me the week previously to tell me that the job was R2800.00 of which I only need to pay an excess of R900.00. Robyn gives me the same response which was smsed to me two weeks previously that the phone was awaiting parts. I said, Robyn, please, that is the exact response I received two weeks ago, surely it cannot still be awaiting parts. She said, we have up to 14 working days. I agreed to that policy but at the same time said that gives them 48 hours because she is not very helpful with the manner in which she answered. I eventually phoned the Tygervalley repair centre to enquire about my phone, only to be told that the part that they ordered was faulty and that they need to reorder a part. I asked what is with the lack of communication because now they exceeding the 14 day policy which Zaheer and Robyn pointed out. They said that that is not policy and depends on the job at hand. Again, I question the communication of Vodacom. Every department says something different. Finally, after 18 business days, I receive a phone call from Kenilworth branch saying that I can collect my phone. The lady, Robyn says that there is a cost of R2800.00 which I will need to pay in order to release the phone. I say, Robyn please man, the insurance said that all I have to pay is R900.00. She is adamant that it is R2800.00. I phone the insurance department and they confirm that once again, Kenilworth store does not have their facts together and it is only R900.00. I ask that they please phone Kenilworth and sort this out as I can no longer deal with the incompetence of their staff. I receive a phone call later from Robyn stating that it is only R900.00. I collection my phone from Kenilworth only to discover that the problem of not charging is even worse. The first time I have to charge my phone, which by the way was 2 hours away from Cape Town, it did not work. Not only does the charging port not work with the normal plug in charger, but the pod was not being accepted either. So what kind of repair was done that took 18 business days to complete. I asked Zaheer what sort of manager does not return calls, he says that he heard I call but the messages was not to call back. Yes, I am calling you to discuss the weather Zaheer... Please man, get better people in positions. Today, when I took my phone back to be repaired, he says, I am not the manager, only the assistant manager, "that is still not good enough for your customers, Vodacom"
You need people fit for purpose to be the face of your stores. I cannot see how you can abuse the trust of your loyal subscribers. The only thing I am looking forward to in 2017 is cancelling my contract and moving to MTN...

Aliyah

Vodacom stupidity

Vodacom is Useless

On 22 Dec I went to a vodacom store to perform a transaction, the consultant found that someone else's name had been added on my account, replacing my name, although my I'd number and all my other details were correct.

A call was logged for it to be investigated and corrected, i was told it would be done in 24 hours, all the documents were sent. The next day we were told again it would take 48 hours, today in the shop we were told to go to Vodaworld. Now I must drive to Midrand?

I called to complain and after being transferred multiple times and being placed on hold for ages the consultant can't find anything, logs a new call and asks me to resend documents already sent on the 22 and 23 December.

She also tells me it's going to take 3to 7 days.

How r#####ed are these people? They ####ed up, it's their stupid mistake, I have multiple contracts with them for years, have never skipped a payment, pay them a small fortune every month and now I must suffer and be inconvenienced for their stupidity! Unreal! Maybe if I stop the debits they will respond, or they can go get their money from the person whose name they added there.

Vodacom not getting feedback on "once off charge" of r9200.07 since 15th of december

Good morning

Reference number: i-[protected]

I'm getting billed for the amount of r9200.07 for "equipment - balance of contract". I upgraded my contract at the end of october 2016 and did not cancel anything and is thus billed without my knowledge or concent.

I've flagged this with the service provider (Cellu city) who did the upgrade on the 15th of december on behalf of vodacom. They logged a detailed service request with vodacom and up until this moment I haven't received any solution/feedback from vodacom - after every call I had to make to get an update/feedback they only said that they're looking into the matter, will forward an urgent request to their technical department and will phone me back. Not! As mentioned, i've contact vodacom on numerous occasions (Spoken to about 12 consultants, even managers, from the so called client care department, then solutions, at last received an email from the merchants department just to say they will phone me the next day (Ha ha ha! And I believed them... No call received). Spoke to another consultant and manager today and got the same message... Replied to their eager "let us know if your query was solved within 24hrs, I did and yes! Someone phoned back - the line cut, they've tried another time, line cut again and sorry dear client - vodacom is now done with your sorry "please hear me" request. I'm not going to add names but can for reference purposes.

I've had it... Vodacom - you're not going to bill be for an amount I have no idea what its for... I'm not their biggest client... But i'm a client. I've upgraded 4 of my 6 contract I have with vodacom recently - something I regret dearly today. So much for brand loyalty...

Maybe i'll get some feedback now?

Vodacom obnoxious service staff at vodashop gateway

27 December at approximately 6pm, my wife and daughter went into the store to submit a phone for repair.

Rodney (who refused provide his full name) "attended" to them. While my wife was trying to explain the situation to him, he was already shaking his head and saying no although my wife was still talking. He made absolutely no attempt to understand the full story and kept cutting my wife off every time she tried to speak. While I understand that Vodacom has certain Terms and Conditions relating to device waranties, the least I would expect is for your staff to hear the customer out before shutting them down. Rodney's attitde was condescending and in no way helpful and I would have expected more from Vodacom, with whom I have had multiple accounts since the advent of cellular in this country.
Yesterday's display of "we don't care" has made me re-assess Vodacom as my service provider of choice since service is a word very obviously missing from your vocabulary.
After leaving Vodacom, we went upstairs to Samsung where we were assisted by a very pleasant young lady who managed to resolve the issue with the instrument in a matter of minutes just by listening to the full story.

Yours sincerley

Vodacom network coverage

Dear, I have been struggling for the past 2 years with network coverage in my area 22 Oxford street, Evander Mpumalanga . I am unable to do basic things like: make/receive calls, do banking when I am in my house as a result they have broken into my house and I was helpless because I can't even dial emergency numbers. The strange this is I am paying for 100% service to vodacom but in reality it does not exist. I do however think that this is a total rip off, I have log calls and nothing happens. I am advise to escalate this matter to ICASA. This is my cell phone number [protected]. email address: ezra.[protected]@vodamail.co.za
