Fed up by Vodacom lies

In November Vodacom Rewards phoned and in the recorded interview the young man offered me at minute two, the "Reward"of: and I quote: "no longer paying R 249( the amount of my Vodacom cell phone contract) but an amount of R 199, a SAVING of R 50". Not once did he mention additional cost but kept assuring me " No additional cost, and then he tells me my reward is this Router with all this additional data per month At minute 6, I say yes to this saving on my new contract, having been assured that it will be lowered to R199. He then hands me to a supervisor and when I hear her say additional cost, I say:" NO,NO he said no additional cost" She hands me back to him and he assures me its because she can`t see my profile and what my account is. So I say ok. My first account arrives at the end of December, it is R501 per month. When I phone to query, the lady tells me it is because I said yes to an additional cell phone for the Router. Then starts my Saga. I phone customer care, I tell my story, they do a security check, they can`t help me and they put me through to the next department and so it goes for 3 days, backwards and forwards. they make me phone the rewards people , they send me to cancellations, they say no and put me to the next one. I finally get the recording and feel vindicated that this was false information given to me to trick me into saying yes. And so 2 weeks later, I am still being sent from one to the other.How many other people have been ******* as I was, and how many are not able to fight this as I am, hour by hour on the phone.

Thank you so much to Hellopeter. Not sure how you do it but my "second" contract is cancelled and Vodacom says my refund will reflect on my statement. Sincere appreciation, what a service to " little " people like myself who feels so helpless against big business.
