Appalling Service from Vodacom !

I wrote a review on the 9th of October. Vodacom send a generic reply after a few days and someone actually phoned me, but nothing has happened regarding sorting out my issue. I have been paying for an upgraded contract since July, yet I still don't have a usable phone. I have been waiting for over 7 weeks for Vodacom just to pick up the unwanted phone that was issued to me under false pretences and is not Google compliant. I have phoned Vodacom 17 times and no one can give me any indication of when the faulty phone will be picked up by RAM. They can't issue me with a reference number and every single time, I have to speak to another person and have to tell the same story again. I have even offered to bring the phone to them, send it via RAM myself, but no joy. I just feel so powerless.

After being a Vodacom customer for 21 years, I have never been so frustrated. How difficult can it be to send a courier to pick something up? Who knows how long it is going to take to get a working phone out of them, probably another 21 years?

Reviewer Update
I phoned Vodacom again. According to them, RAM phoned me (this never happened) and I told them I'm keeping the faulty device?? (Lie!) Now they have cancelled the collection and it will take another 14 working days (more like 14 weeks) fora another collection.
Yet, no one phoned me and I can prove it. WHY would I keep a faulty phone, that I have been waiting for them to collect for Over 8 WEEKS! . I also apparently can't cancel my contract, till the device has been picked up... O, and also can't speak to a supervisor...
