De*****ing of PrePaid Data Custormers

<p>Vodacom has this prepaid service Just 4 You (J4Y) that offers promotions on data and voice calls and you have to dial *123# to access these promotions.</p> <p>So I dialed the *123# looking to find what data promotions are on offer and there was one of 1GB for 7 days at R79. I then recharge with R100 so I can be able to buy this promotion, only to find that the promotion is no longer an option but replaced with a 2GB for 7 days at R109. </p> <p>What kind of ***** is this, why are we being deceived or ******ed like this? I can't recover my R100 back now which was meant to buy 1GB, and Vodacom will now consume that airtime quickly through out of bundle rates that are already high.</p> <p> </p> <p>This is one of the biggest ****s and mind you this is not the first I go back to the J4Y service only to find once you recharged the promotions disappear.</p> <p> </p>

Reviewer Update

I'd like to state categorically that

1. there was no resolution on this matter.

2. I have not received any call from Vodacom agent as promised to this day.

3. I only receive an e-mail saying this has been resolved without any prior communication to resolve the matter.

I do perceive this as misrepresentation and means to put a blanket over this matter by creating ill conceived perceptions. This is very saddening coming from a company like Vodacom who portrays itself as self righteous, ethical and practice good governance.

Please do the right thing.
