False 'Upgrade" from Vodacom

Vodacom messed up my contract data and airtime with false "upgrade" promises. I had a good contract going. Sufficient data and airtime to get me through the month. Then a sales man called stating that he would improve on the data and airtime; it was a promotion and wouldn't cost me anything extra. Yeah WRONG!!!! He said that I would get extra data and airtime for R20 less, super! Then the 4 strange quotes appeared on my SMSs. All extra, all higher than what he had just said. This was for two accounts.

I disputed after they deducted from my account. They shuffled around but I demanded the recording. I never got it but the amount was reduced (NO REIMBUR*****T!) and the data and airtime was reduced as well.

I now have an awful 'contract' with VODACOM, where I have to buy airtime and data as from 7th of each month, or thereabout, because I don't get my 20 gigs as promised.

I've also received an SMS stating that in February the VODACOM fees will be increasing!!!!!

What a money grubbing-customer duping-false news-no customer Care-*******-greedy *******s-money guzzling- ugly company VODACOM is.

I get nowhere with the sales people on the phone. I hate phoning VODACOM to try get this sorted out. So Hallo Peter is my voice.

Reviewer Update
I have looked at previous unhappy reviews and wonder how VODACOM management and Board can be satisfied with their performance? The company ethos should be "Grab what you can by any means necessary" I would be ashamed to work for this company knowing that they rob people of their hard earned money. Greedy *****ing *******s!
