10yr + Phone Number Deleted Without Consent!

I have been a Vodacom customer for 10 yrs + and have been working overseas for years. This time I get back to discover my number which I’ve had for 10 yrs + has been DELETED WITHOUT MY CONSENT!

How can you just delete a customer’s number without sending them an email to check if they no longer need the number before you delete it!?

I have spoken to a lady in a store who phoned customer service who said the number cannot be retrieved. The lady in the store logged a call back with the IT dept to see if they can reconnect it somehow….

This is crazy! As a freelancer, your cell number is your business…. In today’s age your cell number is connected to EVERYTHING!

If it turns out my number cannot be brought back online, I will NEVER have another contract with Vodacom again and I will warn all my friend, family and colleagues.

A very unhappy customer.

May I add… how would someone who had a the same number for 10 yrs + know you cancel numbers after 110 days……?

Also, you need to have the COURTESY to EMAIL the customer before deleting the number so they have an opportunity to respond!!

If you are unable to retrieve my number, I will NEVER be a customer of Vodacom again and I will tell all my friends, family and colleagues of your awful service.
