Appalling service received from Vodacom

<p> </p> <p>I am truly perturbed by the service that I have received from Vodacom.</p> <p>I lost my phone on the 22/03/2017. On the morning of 23/03/2017, I called to block my SIM. Which was eventually done after speaking to the second call centre agent.</p> <p>On the 24/03/2017, I called the upgrade department to enquire about a premature upgrade.</p> <p>To cut a very long story short, I was assisted by Bontle who indicated that she would assist me with the premature upgrade and confirmed that she processed everything and that I would be receiving my phone in the week of 27/03/2017.</p> <p>On calling the upgrade department on 27/03/2017, Cashiers confirmed that no upgrade was processed. Cashiers indicated that the only thing Bontle added was the promotional bundle which was added onto my billing, which I asked him to remove as he indicated that the bundle should not be charged for.</p> <p>This indicates that Bontle **** to me about doing the upgrade. I am truly perturbed by the services I have received from Vodacom. I have now been without a cellphone for 5 days as of today and due to your employee’s lie this time period will not be lengthened. I would like to know what Vodacom is going to do to rectify this unacceptable situation.</p> <p>I called upgrade department again at about 11am and spoke to Sibongile, I requested to speak to a manager. She indicated that her team leader Mpho would call me back in the next few minutes. I still waiting on her call from Mpho</p> <p>I have never experienced such bad service and it is truly disgusting as I’ve been a Vodacom customer for almost 19 years(including being on prepaid initially and then moving to contract)</p> <p> </p>

And the plot thickens...besides the fact that I'm still waiting on a consultant to call me...when putting my SIM into a device for the first time yesterday after the SIM swop was performed, I could not make any calls cause the line was suspended...REALLY!!!! I called the customer care and they gave some long story as to why it was suspended and that she activated it and it should take effect within the next 20 minutes to 6 hours... Needless to say even after almost 24 hours it was not working.

after calling the customer call centre this morning(29/03/2017), I was eventually helped by the first call centre agent that actually seemed to know what she was doing. Karen from the call centre sorted out my suspended line in good time. Thanks Karen. For the first time there seems to be hope for Vodacom thanks to Karen. Now if all call centre agents can please learn from Karen, then maybe your service would not be as bad.

but as mentioned above, I'm still waiting for a consultant to call me icw my initial complaint. Clearly my "call" is not important to them
