Cannot Port number

<p>Hi There</p> <p>I have been trying to port my number to Vodacom for the last two days. I went to a Vodacom Shop, purchased and Rica'd a Nano sim card. After following the sms portme instructions i received two confirmation sms's from Vodacom, all of this was done before 17: 00 on the 24th and the 25th of May. I waited the entire evening for the port to go through. In the morning i caontacted the Vodacom porting help desk only to be told that the Vodacom sim card that i purchased from a Vodacom shop cannot be used for porting as it is a promotional sim card. So i went hunting for a non promotional sim card at every single store that sells sim cards, only to find that every store has the exact same sim cards, 50% POWER BONUS SIM CARDS. Why is Vodacom becoming so frsustring and useless? Instead of making the whole porting process seamless and easy Vodacom makes it extremely difficult. Where do i now find a NON PROMOTIONAL SIM CARD FROM? WHAT IS A NON PROMOTIONAL SIM CARD? HOW DO I TELL THE DIFFERENCE? Vodacom if you want to increase your subscriber base makes things easy, not harder. </p>
