25 CALLS & 4 WEEKS LATER - QUERY CLOSED BUT INCORRECT UPGRADE NOT REVERSED

Following the escalation and subsequent reply on 01 July 2020 via email and subsequent telephonic and email onversations, resolution is still pending. I received a query “close-out” notice on 21 July on *** on the reversal of incorrect upgrade. I followed up today 2020-07-21 10:30 to ensure reversal of incorrect upgrade of my 3 Vodacom numbers have been done and downgraded to prepaid to enable porting. Unfortunately, I was informed by operator that all 3 numbers are locked into a contract untill 2022 and he cannot assist and that there is no reference to “close-out” notice on 21 July or reference to issue *** logged. I require the incorrect contract upgrade to be REVERSED and all my numbers and downgraded to PREPAID to enable porting : 082***x 060***x 071***x ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LATEST LOG OF EVENTS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-07-21 10:30 Follow up call (18 minutes) [With assumption that upgrade has been reversed as above] Operator Freedom Request Downgrade to prepaid of 1 account and cancellation of 2 Confirm number I am querying 082*** & Verification done Cannot help me as Contracts in place until 2022 I will need to speak to customer care I requested him to verify *** The reference nor issue appear on my profile He will transfer me to Customer service to enable me to escalate issue Customer service is where I started!

31 July 2020: Issue has been resolved (At last!! - Thank you Hellopeter!!):
1. Upgrades on 3 contracts reversed
2. All 3 contracts Downgraded to prepaid
3. Ported main number to Afrihost-MTN prepaid. An incredible flexible and cost effective service. It is prepaid, with the benefits of a contract.
