deceit to customers.

Vodacom has become buyer beware company? I upgraded a contract online in 2021. It was a sim only, even when I wrote to complain just a month into the contract on November 2nd, that I did not upgrade the tablet nor was I given or expecting any, up till June 2023, I am still be billed for an item that should normally have cleared in 15months. On a home internet sim, I upgraded in June 2023 to a package advertised` at R249.01 but the first bill for the month of June, I was billed R260.77. The difference may be just about R10, but we are talking of times 24. Of all the explanations I got was that Vodacom in the recent past decided to increase the price even though the package is still being advertised at R249.01, However has already decided it will be billed for at R260.77. That is pure deceit to customers.

Unfortunately your latest September,2023 bill is still billing me for a handset that was never delivered nor requested for .in 2019. I expect a refund from Novenber,2019to date and not this your continuation of billing on the unsupp**** handsetFind insert the email I wrote you then which unfortunately you have still not corrected for almost 4 yrs. Even if I took your handset since then, 24 months would have long expired.

November 2021 is the first month on my new upgrade on the above number.I just received a quote from vodacom with an inclusion of a Handset Installment at R30. However this upgrade has no Handset included nor have I received any or do I expect any.Please kindly reconcile this error.Regards,Emilia Maloi***
