Cellphone Billing

<p>My cellphone package I was using was not working for me ,I decided to change to RED VIP. This package was disccued with a Vodacom consultant over the phone as follows.</p> <p> </p> <p>-5GB a month</p> <p>-Limitless SMSs</p> <p>-Limitless minutes</p> <p> </p> <p>I then recieved my billing for the month of October R6347.27 of which R3900 is for Data usage. Confused as I was I decided to contact Vodacom. Three phone calls later twenty minutes each, dealing with a consulatant who put me on hold for ten minutes to log the complaint.</p> <p> </p> <p>I asked why Im been billed R3900 for data as my understanding is once my data runs out I would then have to purchase data manually. I asked the consulted to pull a three month report on my data usage which equited to under 5GB a month. This clearly shows that the billing is incorrect as I was billed for over 80GB for the month of October.</p> <p> </p> <p>The consulatnt could not assit rahter logged a ticket not been able to assist with debit of R6347.27 . I dont understand how a company of this rank could make these kind of errors! Im highly fustrated which lead me to look for a new service provider that is more efficient.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

Reviewer Update

Subject to the response from Vodacom two days later I recieved an email offering to credit my account of which I was grateful due to this not been my fault at all for incorrect billing.

Further along the email the consultant made mention that their billing is correct and I need to check my Android usage which totaled 7GB. Vodacom billed me for an amount of 85 gigs, I then responded with a screen shoot of two months usage which showed 5GB September and 7GB October.

No response further.

I then recieved another mail telling me Im wrong again! I responded with the Android screenshots and still no response which is a sign of gaulty in my oppinion.

Vodacom shops are selling Samsung smartphones advertising all the great features but blamming incorrect billing on the Andriod devise.

Almost a week later and no constuctive feedback or courteesy call!
