Disastrous service from Vodacom

I live in Kensington B, Randburg. I have been unable to make or receive calls at home (and I work from home) 95% of the time since November. Vodacom confirmed that they have a problem with the "Tower" in my street, Van Der Stel street and that nothing can be done for at least 6 months as they have to get authorization from the municipality to erect a new one. They told me that I need to cancel my contract with them (That ends in March), they will not charge me penalties, go onto pre-paid so I can port my number to another service provider . I have tried to do this now for 3 months without success (and don't go to their shops, they cannot help you, even tried their H/O, the landline is not been answered).I have spend hours trying to get a hold of them from my car (as long as it is at least 300 meters from home or I go to the local shopping center parking lot). IF and WHEN their various "call centers" answer after sometimes hours and I have tried various ones, they promise to "escalate" my complaint and revert back on e-mail (as I can't answer calls at home if I don't have a signal). NOTHING! This morning, lucky for me I was not home, got a call from them asking me if I am happy with their service and if I still want to cancel the contract I have had with them for 6 years. The last "record" they have in their system is dated....November. Every calls I made since then does not appear. Mind boggling. I am loosing 1000's of Rands in lost business. Anybody out there that can help? I am desperate.

I indeed got a call from a lady called Daisy last week Wednesday or Thursday (Lucky I was not at home and could receive her call) but again I had to tell her the whole story as she was not aware of this calamity. As usual she could not believe my predicament, profusely apologized and promised that someone would definitely contact me by e-mail within 48 hours max. Guess what? NOTHING as usual. As for the Vodacom message above, it is a joke. You have been attending to my "query" for the past....3 months! And I do not need someone to contact me again that will "escalate" this mess, guys, it does not work. Nobody cares. If only I could speak to someone that can actually do something about it. This is worst than a disgrace!
