Corporate Upgrade!

I went to Vodacom world to get my contract upgraded - account is in my name, but I get sponsored billing. I phoned their Corporate Line yesterday (18/01) to get all the relevant information etc so that I can get everything in place (can only be processed due for upgrade 19/01.)

I went to Vodacom World due to the fact that the Corporate Line told me if they order it it will take 3 days! My current phone is not working since 5/01, so I am in need for a new phone - I can't wait another 3 days - I have already been without for nearly 2 weeks! I work right next door to Vodaworld so I quickly went over. After nearly an hour of visiting three different counters (Accounts in WICC, Info in WICC and Vodacom Shop) I got the answer that I need to do it over via Corporate Accounts and that will take a minimum of 48hrs. Highly irritated, I phoned Corporate - NOW they suddenly have to create a deal for me and will phone me back - I am still waiting couple hours later. Now what should have been at the earliest Monday will probably only be next Tuesday - if I am lucky!!!!! Why come yesterday they could process it directly and now they need to phone me? Meanwhile I am still without phone

CUSTOMER'S FEEDBACK NickSwann Time and Date 14:28:17 | Mon 23 Jan 12
Quite Impressed: After I lodged this report, I have had several other issues.  After speaking to our Account Manager, it has been resolved.  I am very happy to have received both speedy service (eventually) and the deal I was offered initially.  My only issue is why it should have taken me so long and had to go to such lengths to get what I wanted and was optioned in the first case.  But for now I am a happy customer.
