Goodday
WE have tried now for many months to get these issues resolve. With no reply or any feedback or action.
I do not think it is fair from you to keep on with this behavior or lack of attention to solve this.
I ask again can you please resolve these issues.
Thank you so much.

Good day
In May I spoke to a person online regarding my account!
There are some numbers that is in not in use for many years.
They do not even exist anymore - they gone.
I WANT TO CANCELL IT!
WHY CAN YOU DO NOT DO IT?
I told the person that those numbers is not in use anymore - it is money that I pay for nothing!
He told me that he did cancel it, while he spoke to me, but that I need to pay for June 2020, because it is too late to cancel payment for June.
I agree to that. He said in July I will not again pay for it, AND WHAT HAPPENED IN JULY?
I paid again for it!
Early in this month {August} I phoned again.
The lady {Thuwana - spelling I don't know} I spoke too, told me that she will investigate and came back to me, and what happened? Nobody called me!
So the question is? WHAT IS GOING ON?
Do I need to go to a lawyer to help me or what?
The numbers I want to cancel:
H6-M03SV == 0825968351 == R392.99
H6-M6K06 == 0768424354 == R110.00
H6-M7P9G == 0726424043 == R110.00
H6-M9J79 == 0827187505 == R110.00
H6-MA213 == 0609670769 == R110.00
I hope that this matter can be resolved now.
Please let me know what is going on.
Kind regards

Upgrades
I Marina Clasen [protected] recently upgraded on my 2 contracts. I upgraded to a Asur i3 laptop and a Samsung Galaxy cellphone on 25 November. My goods haven't been delivered as of yet since RAM couriers did a pathetic job. My packages has been returned to Vodacom but nobody informed me how my upgrade will proceed and when I will receive my goods. Can I please have a feedback on this upgrade

Vodacom Fibre
Had Vodacom fibre connected to my home approximately one month ago. Internet has been down for 95% of the time. Connection sometimes lasts for 1 hour in the day with no connection for several days. Called the fibre customer service 4 times but still no connection. I have 23 months left on the contract with no connection but have to pay my monthly subscription. Is this not fraud? Charging for no internet connection. Can't cancel as I have to pay the full outstanding amount for the remaining 23 months.
Fibre
-name is Lisa Sibanda
- Vodacom Fibre Number is SO201117-277235.
I placed my order about a month ago and since then I had no contact from vodacom, today on the 15th of december I am calling them again to follow up on my order and I am told that I have to wait for 21 days for my wifi to be installed,
I called in 2 weeks back again and I spoke to justin boer from vodacom he rest assured me that by last week thursday my wifi will be installed,
Since then I have been communicating with him via email to find out what is the delay is for but no response from him.
I am very unhappy with what vodacom is doing,
I had expressed myself in the beginning that I need the wifi for the beginning of december,
Now I am spending more money buying data because I had not budgeted to do so in december.
Please do check the emails and see that no communication was made rergading the waiting period.
Hi I'm a vodacom fibre field agent I can assist you with your issue.. Here's my number [protected]
Deducting acc damage insurance after contract expired
My cell nr [protected]
Account nr [protected]-6
My contract expired with Vodacom and I was contacted by Vodacom for Airtime subs - U choose flexi rental R56.52
At first they only deducted the airtime subs, but now the last few months they are deducting the accidental damage insurance again with the amount of R118. Why is this happening? This is not a new cellphone contract. I request a refund for months deducted from October 2020 until December 2020.

Still waiting.
Fibre installation
I'm paying for a fibre contract 8 months already and it has not been installed in my unit. I was promised that I will be installed within 3 months. I was only given a router with monthly 100G data. Vodacom refused to switch to uncapped data due to the delay in the installation. I have since learnt that there is wi-fi cables in my area but I have been made to wait 8 months for installation, paying a full subscription. I'm a loyal vodacom customer of so many years. I won't be renewing my primary contract with vodacom, I feel abused. My 4 children could not study and attend online classes during the lockdown due to this experience. The TV box I had purchased for streaming was a waste. My conclusion is that vodacom does not care about me and my family. I just wonder if all customers of different races are treated this way.
Online store product advertised - no stock for more than 2 weeks and was told until february no stock
I applied for a Gaming Laptop on the online store and got approved, the first laptop I waited 2 weeks with no stock coming in, then applied for a different laptop, also no stock, online store telling me they wont have stock until maybe February? Why advertise the deal if there is NO STOCK?
Contracts that a offered over the phone
Here we go again two years along the line and I have endless problems with vodacom. I am really really disappointed.
On the 23rd of september 2020 a lady phoned me regarding my contracts with vodacom. I first told her that I wanted to cancel 3 of my contracts with you and make them prepaid. She convinced after along struggle to make two of the contracts numbers [protected] and [protected]) to be as follow: I pay r89 and get r125 airtime per month (before this she gave me other options that I did not accept) but this deal I said yes to if both these numbers are changed to r89 per I will keep it then. The data account I see was changed as discussed to r 36-00 thank you for that. But the other two accounts are still almost r 200. This new reduced contract I was told will be from october 2020 and when I go onto my vodacom app it shows that these two accounts were not changed.
I am tired to always fight with vodacom to get what was agreed upon this is poor service. You guys phoned me and convinced me to take this better deal. I wanted to cancel my accounts. If this is the way it is going to be everytime I really will seek another service provider who will keep true to their word.
I am sending you this email because you were the one that helped me the last time as well. See email from 2 years ago.
I am really disappointed with this. Would you be able to assist me?
The main cell phone number is [protected].
I received this order number: [protected]. But I think this was for the data bundle account. If this can help you solve my problem. (the data bundel I had to phone another number and I spoke to a man regarding this and he did what he said he was going to do. The data bundle number was changed as discussed).

Resolution to incorrect contract upgrade which finally impacted all vodacom accounts and credit score
Vodacom complete lack of customer services, and incorrect upgrade of contract has resulted in complete lock of account, multiple months of billing on wrong accounts, and now finally a complete mess of my Vodacom account and credit score
In Summary,
Where it started.
I upgraded my data package, [protected], with Vodacom in January 2020 through your online agent (contact no. [protected]) that contacted me. The data contract was agreed to have 100Gb anytime and 50Gb nightime per month. After receiving the modem was able to use only night time. Contacting Vodacom it revealed that I was give a 50Gb nighttime contract only. I then tried cancelling the contract during the "cool down period". The agent though, proposed that we investigate the issue to get correct contract, and that I will still have the option to cancel if this is not resolved.
o Please note - at this time I have already spend all my airtime for 2 months phoning your agents to solve this issue
After 2 months and 3 investigations with Vodacom and your agent I still did not have it solved, and we agreed that the contract will be cancelled since I am running a busines with no internet!
(Please note - I never received in communications regarding what is happening in this whole last 8 months from any logged investigation. Everyone I contacted had no answer and just said I need to log a new investigation)
Up to this point I have been paying the approx. R800/month for the [protected] Data contract. I have not used
Vodacom then continued debiting my account monthly, after logging numerous investigations with Vodacom to resolve this contract ([protected]). I then phone accounts in April and May 2020, and threatened to reverse the debits on my accounts since I could not afford the payments, where I am spending R1000 with another supplier for data at that point.
After 2 months of threats I then reversed the debit from Vodacom at my bank in May. Vodacom then blocked all my accounts and I could not make any outgoing calls
The next month you debited my account for the two months, June. Following that I reversed it again, and issued a letter at Vodaworld, Midrnad helpdesk revoking Vodacom authority to debit any money from my account (26 June 2020). During this time a new investigation was logged
New Investigation: After 2 emails to Vodacom enquiring around what is happening with the investigation I gave up! I have spend hours of time, while trying to keep my company afloat during COVID. THANKS VODACOM!
o NOTE: CANNOT USE ANY OF MY VODACOM ACCOUNTS SINCE ITS ALL BLOCKED BECAUSE OF NON-PAYMENT
13 November I went to Vodacom again to try and resolve this. Was told by helpdesk and Vodacom accounts that the case has been handed to your MDD (debt collectors). I was also ONLY THEN told that data contract resolved and debited R3246 on the 22 July 2020. NOTE: Still no communication to the client up to this point. This is credited to my Vodacom account, that conveniently pays of the running bill there for services I could not use, and Now I supposedly should still owe R2206 for services I could not use!
16th MDD Phone Call: Phone MDD on the 16th November and they said that the case is not with them. (Spoke to Sihindile) Phoned Vodacom accounts again on the 16ht and they said I must email legal
Phone accounts on 21 November requesting to at least convert the following accounts [protected] and the Uchoose 60 Line Rental, to prepaid while this is resolved with legal. Was told I cannot convert but must first speak to legal.
I am compiling a timeline of all investigations, phone calls during this period. Will forward this to you at legal.

RAM Couriers RAM Couriers delivers modem and sim Card Ref: K192 9014
5- 12 February 2020
Internet Connection Issues - Only works at night time Modem received, but could not connect to internet during daytime. Contacted Vodacom and enquired as to reason why there is a connection issues. Vodacom Customer support gave different reasons at each phone call.
1) At first they tried to reset the Vodacom signal. DID NOT WORK
2) Then Vodacom support indicated that I used all available data, which was not possible since it was used for 2hrs.
2) Third call, Vodacom Support indicated that contract only 50GB night time, no daytime data. NOT CONTRACT TAKEN OUT
3) Fourth Call, Vodacom Support indicated that now the package is 50GB day and 50GB night time with additional 50GB night time, but my 2hrs used supposidely depleted my daytime 50GB? Not possible
Investigations were logged around contract type. Did not record these Investigations Numbers
Summary: VODACOM HAS NO IDEA WHAT PACKAGE IS AM SUPPOSE TO HAVE UPGRADED TOO.
February 2020
Vodacom points Resolution to Mondi Mobile Vodacom states I must resolve with Mondi Mobile as upgrade agent. Continuous phone call

28 April Agreed Cancellation of Upgrade on Data Contract. Obtained another service provider to operate my business
April 2020 Three payments debited for Data contract with no service. Could not continue to pay, since I had to take out another contract to operate my business. Customer service was contacted. No Accounts available due to COVID. Instructed 2nd time that I will reverse the debit.
May - June 2020
Return of Modem Modem with Data Sim was packaged and at reception of company for 2-3 months.
NOTE: An Incorrect data packages serves no purpose since there placing a sim in my modem to gain a couple of MB to run a business is pointless. That was why the Data contract was never used until Jan 2020, when it was upgraded to a package that could serve home business. Night time data of 50GB has no value since I am not going to wake up between 11pm - 5am to do my work!
Failed collections: RAM couriers phoned twice past 5pm in week days stating they are at my company to collect the Modem, but company closed and no one answering since its past 5pm (Note - it was approximate a month between these two events)
I phoned Customer Support numerous times requesting during this period, requesting that I deliver modem to choice of Vodacom shop to close this ISSUE. Vodacom every highlighted RAM will collect and there is no other options!

Request to convert to prepaid:
4) Primary Number - [protected] :
a. Convert/Cancel Uchoose flexi

5) U choose Line Rental - Convert or cancel (no idea what this is)
6) [protected] - Convert/ Cancel
a. I don't have the SIM
Use of the Vodacom accounts has been blocked because of non payment. I notice in November it working again
7)
23 November 2020, Email Legal Eventually email legal to request resolution, negotiation, and support.
GEUSS WHAT - NO response up to 30 November. No Surprise?
27 November 2020 Identified Vodacom primary line - [protected], allowing phone calls again.
Made payment for the primary number for this month
30 November Current timeline and request negotiations/ support etc to Vodacom Legal, Customer Care, Accounts
Lets see if there is any response?
Conclusion:
I had no use of Vodacom service, which Vodacom billed me every month, May to September 2020. I cannot see how I must make payments for months where my account was locked by Vodacom.
Hard to cancel old unused contracts
Sitting with 3 x unused contracts that are being paid for every month, should be a quick, 1, 2, 3, step to cancel on line but no such luck. Told by a consultant that the Cancellations.retensions email does'nt work and have to come in (this during covid), and on top of that whilst talking to the consultant, she put the phone down on me when I queried the fact that I find it amazing that it's quick to keep charging for additional stuff, but will not cancel on an online request. I also seem to be charged R 500 more on my last payment. I need the following cancelled with immediate effect and a full comprehensive invoice / statement for October / November as I have not asked for any additional costs per month other than once off data here and there. Numbers to be cancelled are (which i have been trying to cancel but still getting charged for) are:
076 3331951
064 9065459
082 6865975 and also now 082 441 8625 as there are no viable upgrades available.
I have also been trying to get a price friendly upgrade on [protected] to no avail, very expensive.

The consultants are quick to sweet talk you into new contracts and they phone you constantly and even "pester" you into taking it, but when you want to cancel one of those contracts it becomes an impossible task. I wish Vodacom would would employ these same consultants at the cancellation desk. I have been struggling for months to cancel one of my unused contracts.
My sim card is not working
I had to do a sim swap for getting a new phone now my number is no longer working I have done 2 sim swaps already thinking it was the actual sim that was faulty but it does not seem to be the case. I logged a service request on my line but still nothing has happend. I need this problem resolved asap. This has caused me loss of business and is unacceptable. The number that I am having a problem with is [protected]
Upgrade package/account
Good day
RE: Vodacom: I4309875
I have upgraded during the early time of lockdown, where a sales person spoke to me and my wife to get a better package, I was told the account will be around r1200 a month that never happened, I am up and down to vodacom outlets to try to fix this problem, every time I am told "we will take the extra data packages off" that vodacom add to the account every month! This never ever happened! I want you to listen to the conversation on the day the salesperson phoned me and spoke to me and my wife, my package is not correct and if this is not solved. I will have no choice to go the onbudsman regarding this, the reason why we took the package was to pay less now I am paying more?
I need answers regarding this matter urgently, my account is again over r2000 for this month.
Thanks Colin Cillie
I am experiencing exactly the same problem. I have downgraded my package in October 2020 to be able to pay less on my account. Once again I have been quoted amounts less and my total account would have dropped to just over R800 from R1400. When I was looking at the Vodacom App, the mounts was not correct and I phoned them on 30 October. They have corrected the November account but when the invoice were produced for Dec 2020 the amount was over R2100.00. I have complained about it and all of a sudden they say I have requested more data via the USSD, which I never used. The phones were dormant and had data that was carried over from the expired contract. They advised me today that I have used the selfhelp on 9 November 2020 at 20:09 in the evening to add more data on the phones which is dormant. Even if you check there is no usage on them. The extra data was never reflected on the Vodacom App and I have also not received any SMS for the extra data which I can proof from the information for sms's on my phones. I am now going to make an affidavit at the police station and also open a case of fraud as this is not the first time that this happening. Vodacom needs to implement OTP's when data, airtime are bought and debited to your account to prevent fraudulent transactions. Also sms's and /or e-mail needs to be send to the recipient so that this can be picked up earlier.
Thanks, Elize Breytenbach
Device insurance
I logged a call in October 2019, indicating that I wanted my insurance cancelled as I had gone with another supplier for insurance. The insurance amount was cancelled for one month in November and then reinstated again at a later stage. I did not take notice of this till around April 2020 and realized I was still paying device insurance with vodacom and my new supplier. I queried about the matter around June of this year and was assured the policy was cancelled. it still continued to go off. I then went to the Northgate branch where I was assisted by Lianne, she advised that insurance is dealt with by Finrite and contacted the agent there who was dealing with the matter: Leesum Phillips | Policy Agent
Finrite Administrators (Pty) Ltd
I received an email from Leesum assuring me the policy was now finally cancelled a year later and that I would receive a credit refund for the money that was taken. He could not advise on the amount but I should receive the refund at the end of Oct.
I communicated via email to him closer to the end of October and he then said that he was not sure when this pay would happen and then disappeared from communication completely. I called the call center which as you know takes up to an hour to answer and I spoke to a team leader who assured me he would call in the next day to give me progress but surprise surprise no call. These kind of follow ups and consistent chasing people takes time and energy.
I called through yesterday 25th November and an agent advised that no supervisors where available and that she would get Someone to call me back. No call!
I am currently due for an upgrade and I have been with Vodacom for many years with pretty much the same disgusting service on most occasions if not at the branch then at the call center. The only reason I have stayed with Vodacom as a provider is owing to the inconvenience of changing suppliers but I am at that point now. Not that I believe it would mean anything to the large amount of profits already being made, I am just a drop in that ocean.
This is hard earned money that you have taken from me for months and I find it highly disgusting and unethical that there is no line of sight in paying me back what is due!
Incompetent staff
I have been calling for 6 months to cancel a data line contract which the contract has expired. Every consultant says they will cancel it but never does! But its easy for vodacom to increase the price of said data line. Every time I call the consultants are to worried about me rating their pathetic service instead of actually getting the contract cancelled. Now I have to pay more for a service I have baan trying to cancel!
Fibre
Three months ago a applied for Fibre to the home. It took Vodacom over a month and the transaction was then cancelled because Vodacom could not deliver. They claim to have had issues with FrogFoot.
Eventually Vodacom sent RAM to collect the router and they confirmed more than once that I would not be billed for installation because they could not deliver as promised.
Two months later I received an invoice via the Vodacom APP for R1700.00
I have tried to get it rectified for two weeks because my debit orders go off on the 20th of the month. I have had no help from Vodacom.
Every day I phone and e-mail and the same story. Peter is working on it.
Peter needs to pull his finger and get this sorted. Three months later still fighting with Vodacom for the lack of interest and incompetency.
Cancellation of contract
On 22 Sept 2020 I requested that my contract for cell no [protected] be cancelled and that (1) a reference number and (2) that I be informed as to the date of the cancellation. On 6 and 13 Oct 2020 I sent follow up emails to Kenosi Leshoro. No response. On 20 N0v 2020 I called cancellations and requested to speak to a supervisor. I was told he will call back. today is 24 Nov. No call received. I also need to know what the closing balance is. Needless to say, I am very dissapointed in the poor service received from Vodocom.

Wrongfully debiting my account
I am sick and tired of vodacom who keeps debiting my account after I have cancelled my services with them.
The last time I called I was told that only one of my contracts were cancelled and that I had to cancel the other one, I was also told that I would be refunded but not once have I received my money. On the 20th of november 2020 vodacom debited my account with r215 yet I have cancelled all my services with them. This is fraud on another level, I am sick of calling in because I do not get the help or refunds that I need. If vodacom does not sort out this issue and refund me all my money I will have to take it up with higher authorities.

Today, 24th November 2020 I called Vodacom customer care service about my query. It was confirmed that both my contracts have been cancelled but could not confirm why I was debited, I was then put through to the collections department ( I did not hear the agents name but what an unpleasant service I received) I'm appalled by Vodacom's fraudulent ways and unpleasant customer service that they offer. They told me that was my last debit for invoices? and I was put in arrears by this company for CANCELLED CONTRACTS! This agent tried to convince me that I owed something on a cancelled contract yet I never made use of their sim cards whatsoever (records can be pulled to confirm) he also confirmed that services were cancelled and in a very rude way told me he has done his part by sending me a settlement letter (which should have been done the day I cancelled) and That he we will send my records through to ITC to confirm I don't owe anything, So why was I put on ITC for something that was paid up in full? my credit score has been negatively effected and I am livid. I will never do business with this company again and i will surely be taking legal action against them
Billing us r1400 for installation
We took a fibre contract that was free installation and the first 3 months free. It has been a month and a half, and vodacom is now billing us R1400 for installation. I have phoned them and opened a dispute. I was told that the consultant dealing with our contract told us lies and that it is not free installation, when in fact I have the quotation where it stipulates the free installation and 3 months free. Our internet was cut on Friday and we were without internet the entire weekend. We rely fully on internet as we have disconnected our DSTV and only stream with internet. This morning I am still battling to sort it out.
