Hello Peter
Vodacom did call me two weeks back two different consultants and they said they will come back to me with the solution but they will try to credit half of the amount on my invoice to my surprise the handed over our account to debtors collection Vodacom take their customers for granted they don’t honour their word unfortunately we don’t have money to pay and they have to deal with case until it’s closed 🤞

Good day Vodacom
Unfortunately I have not received a call to conclude to this matter even Constance didn’t receive a call the only last call last week she got was to ask her when is the convenient time to call her for them to discuss the conclusion we were hoping that today they will call not to close the case I’m still not satisfied about the service please call me on *** to discuss this matter because the proposal we got that Vodacom will credit us half of the 20k. Please we need matter sorted ASAP as is ruining Constance credit record.
