Disappointing and Misleading Contract Services

Vodacom has suspended my account for refusing to pay for a handset device I never signed up for or received. I am on a sim only deal. I have been querying since April 2025 why my account includes that fee and they sent me from pillar to post and bouncing me between their customer service line and Elite Mobile.

Now I begrudgingly have to pay for something I do not have because I cannot work without the service. So disappointing. I will be moving to a different network after more than 20 years of being with them purely because of how ***********ly they have handled my query and instead chose punitive actions for my refusal to pay for something I did get or contract for.

Thank you for reaching out and resolving this matter.
I confirm that the synchronization has worked and my line has been reconnected to the network.
I look forward to receiving the credit on my account for the handset installment.

 Dear Nwabisa,

Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns to our office. We appreciate feedback from valued clients like you, as it helps us identify areas for improvement within our organization. As we discussed, we have deleted the contract cover insurance from your line and credited R200.00 handset installment billed for 10 months. We have also completed the synchronization.

 Please allow up to an hour for your line to reconnect to the network. 

Regards, 
Consumer Website Team 

Best regards,
