Disappointed and Annoyed

I have been a loyal customer for 18 years with Vodacom. Super excited for my upgrade time. Explain this to me Vodacom, when I went to a branch for my upgrade to downgrade my contract added bonus was black Friday deals. Put the quote through the system, recieved my order in store yesterday. Excited I went to collect my upgrade package. Having it in my hands and looking at it all excited. With the printed out original quote infront of me on paper. All of a sudden I have to pay in an astronomical amount. I have been on debt review for many years and was still able to upgrade and I made payments as my vodacom contract was the one item I cherished the most and advised everyone involved even vodacom head office in Midrand. The consultant was devastated on this sudden charge with the original order and items on the counter.

I tried to complain directly to Vodacom via email but I received 2 emails stating I must speak to Tobi, a robot. That was the last straw.

So here i am stating my dissatisfaction and utter and complete let down from the one account I had to bring me much joy every 2 years.

On that note, I am going to cancel with Vodacom and migrate my number to another service provider.

Cheers from a previous loyal customer

Reviewer Update
Dear Vodacom, so now based on the customer care consultant's misunderstanding on 10 November 2023 - yes the manager listened to the recording and stated there was a misunderstanding between both of us as per the month i was enquiring about, i clearly said November 2023 and the amount currently, it was confirmed by the agent. Firstly I received an sms stating my vodabucks for paying my account, message received 10 Nov'23. Phoned customer care to ask is my account paid, he advised yes it was paid in store and even offered the store location twice of the amount that is currently outstanding in your books. I am going to take this matter further as the customer care agent advised me incorrectly (the manager said yes my account is paid in October, of course it was, but I queried about November) I am holding this customer care agent liable for the amount outstanding. I know there is a recording of this conversation that the manager listened to as well, covering for your untrained employee.
