Bad service!!!

Bad service!!!

My phone can't connect to the data because of this ****en damn upgrade of yours. First my phone was upgraded to an open line and I couldn't be able to make calls because of that. And now I can’t use my phone again for WhatsApp, emails, or anything that needs the data.

Why do I have to suffer so much pain with my own phone that you don't know how much I paid for it? I have been charged for the data I can't use. I'm currently connecting to my wifi but the data i was billed for are no use.

I'm really not happy with all this nonsense and feel like reversing the money you've debited in my account and cancel with you immediately. There's lots of service providers out there that could do better than you guys. It seems like you've forgotten that there are other competitors out there.

Reviewer Update
Vodacom has played with me and I can't recommend anyone to make use of vodacom as a service contractor. My line is on top up plan, when the sale lady called me for an upgrade, she changed my plan to an open line without my knowledge. I have a full three weeks asking them to resolve this without getting any help. I've been taken back and forth and told to wait till the 1st of September 2026. Meaning I can't use my own cellphone because it's on an open line plan. I was told to make use of another phone. Which phone? Was I provided with another phone by Vodacom to use? They couldn't say we can compensate you with someone much to use in the meantime. I'm so disappointed and this has made me to hate vodacom and I'll advise people to make use of other service provider if they don’t wanna feel the same pain I felt. It weekend now, and the whole weekend I won't be able to use my phone. Does Vodacom know the pain of having a phone but can't use? My phone is like a toy. It can't make calls but could only receive calls, what's that. That’s bull****.
