Bad Product

I recently upgraded my Vodacom Cellphone Contract @ Cellucity Hemingways. Had screen protection fitted on the devices. The one phone just went dead,took it back to Cellucity Hemingways who received it on 16 September 2024.It was sent to Vodacom Vincent Park,received when 20 September 2024,as it was dispatched via Courier services.After numerous follow ups I received I call on the 25 September the phone is ready for collection. I arrived at Vodacom Vincent Park they refused to give the phone to me as it will be couried back to Cellucity Hemingways it's company protocol. I called the Manager at Cellucity and explained to her that I am not happy as I was told the phone is fixed meaning I can collect my device. She arranged for me to collect my phone at Vodacom Vincent Park.Upon receiving the phone I asked if the phone is working I was told yes.I charged the phone and noticed its not charging at all,I returned to Vodacom Vincent Park and said the repairs done I doubt it was done right. The replacement parts fitted was also faulty, this morning I received this call that the parts will be returned for new parts. I have not used the device since 15 September to date,they refuse to give me a loan phone and neither do they want to replace the headset as it's still under guarantee, so if the replacement parts is also faulty what guarantee do I have that the same problems won't occurred with the device in future, so much for 30 years Vodacom and myself being a client of yours for over 25 years!!!

The product is faulty it was on Hellopeter also why sell faulty products to consumers, you refuse to replace it instead you want to repair it with additional faulty parts.

Received a call from Vodacom Hellopeter team early this morning, Received no feedback again. VODACOM Vincent Park East London didn't even contact me today or updated me iro the faulty Handset, it's really an eye opener they happy to bill you every month but the service is bad and it seems a telephon call solves the issue at hand.

No new job number assigned no update from the store phone is a dead duck since 15 September 2024 how long does a repair take? Phone was repaired with faulty parts, who dispatched the faulty part's? As a consumer I have to suffer now,while I am being billed for a device I cannot use I won't even receive a credit to my account, when will the new guarantee start or be effective from,since they worked on the phone what I'd guarantee on the workmanship as it was proved it did not even last 1 hour when I was handed the phone back. This is now the limit with Vodacom SA really.

Received an sms this morning from Vodacom Job Number *** is ready for collection,i arrived at the store at 10-15 am,Vodacom Vincent Park,only to be told the people who will release the phone will only be in at 11am that's the hours they start,i was told it's a computer generated sms,so what is wrong with this picture.I had to wait a hole 45 minutes for them to arrive and wait an additional 20 minutes in store to be assisted.I will definitely not make us of Vodacom in the near future.Burton Brown East London
