Absolutely horrible Customer service and after sales service

I bought a phone on contract last year.

It arrived at my house faulty.

I spent another few weeks with vodacom trying to JUST REACH them to tell then the phone does not work.

They sent me one that worked eventually.

Recently the camera stopped working. It shakes and makes a vibrating noise.

Now , i cant call Vodacom because i keep getting put on hold or the line drops.

The line drops are a VERY common thing.

And then its just calling and waiting for hours from the start.

You cant email them. You cant message them.

So now recently. I stopped paying because they don't come back to their customers jot do they help them.

I emailed. They told me i cant call, because i havent paid.

I said i know. Because the camera does not work. The phone still is in warranty. But i keep getting dropped and i just dont have time to sit for 3-4 hours a day trying to reach Vodacom to tel them the phone is broken just gor the call to drop and the process starts again.

Hence why i am resorting to this website

Dear Vodacom.

The account has been paid. And up to date.

I still cant contact you.

Your employees over email tel me i should call vodacom , but how am i supposed to make calls if the phone cant call? I dont have people around me. And this is becoming a nuisance.

I want my phone fixed, a temporary phone equivalent to this. Or i want my money back so i can take my business to a different service provider who actually reaches out. Please email me asap. Regards

Zirk

Now I am told to go into a vodacom shop and leave the phone there for then to send it away and assess.

I need my phone to make calls, and the camera to video-graph content.

If it is in standstill i start losing income as I already am.

I will take it in to a vodacom in my lunch period today.

I do however expect a temporary phone equivalent to the one i currently use so i can continue to work; generate income an move forward otherwise, i will be expecting my money back. You can take your phone.
I will take my business to another provider
As this is unacceptable.

Outrageous.

As you also understand what 2 factor authentication is- i cant log into anything. Paypal? No.
Google? No.
Facebook? No.

I am completely ****ed as of now.
And all you tell me is to take my phone to a branch so it can be booked and sent away.

Then what? I must just sit in ****** limbo for how long and wait for you to tell me the device is beyond repair or the repair will take this long etc?

And then what?

I want answers. Before 11am .

You can email me. You have my email address. Or Facebook messenger me.

But this will be sorted out today.

I have had ENOUGH of companies just not giving a damn about their clients.

Vodacom Is now completely ignoring me.

I have NO way of contacting them except via email and facebook messenger.

What a trashy company. I am disgusted by you. I wish i never took out s contract with you at all. Quick to help someone sign their ****ing life away. But if there are issues you run and hide your heads in the ****ing sand. ***ards.

Cunning and dishonest.

He WORST customers service i have ever had from a mobile service provider.
My simcard reads, then it doesnt. Then it does. Then it doesnt. Now just doesn't read jack ****.

What the ****. How am i supposed to
Pay?

Sign into any of my banking apps?
Paypal??

The camera doesnt work.

And all i get told is “take your phone to vodacom. Okay sure. Lets take this phone, the only means of payment i have, and hand it in for you to send it off for God only knows how long without a temporary replacement so i can go about my daily life and necessities.

Please explain to me the logic behind this.


I want to know if this contract can be cancelled.
I want my money back.

I am taking my business elsewhere to a provider that WILL be there. That will help. That does care about their clients.

You ****ing ****.
