*****

I am writing this to find someone who can help me. I have been struggling for the past 5 months with no luck with Vodacom. My phone which is not on contract was blacklisted by Vodacom because I owed 400 rands. I then paid and have always now paid in advance since but my phone which is not on contract by the way is still blacklisted . I went to Vodacom two weeks back on a Friday and they said they have requested for it to be reversed , should be fine in 24 hours by Saturday. I waited again 5 days I called with no luck until someone answered on Friday the 28th who also said they requested my phone should be fine in 24 hours on Saturday. I called again on Friday the 4th and still dame thing have to wait 24 hours my phone should be fine . No luck again. Today I called to a point where I was on the phone for more than 60 minutes and was told my query has been escalated.

I actually don’t know anything more to do. No one can help me and I seem to just be lying for data for a line that I can’t use and I can’t really just throw away a phone coz I spend a lot of money buying it. I wish someone at Vodacom can do their work .

Please may you help me understand this . I hot a call from a consultant on Tuesday abs he requested some information to get the phone unblacklisted. I won’t be spiteful and it his name here but I think Vodacom is really testing me
So help me God.
He said it should be sorted or get back to me before end of day. Nothing was done checked the phone so many time from evening to yesterday morning .
Yesterday around 7 I switched on the phone and it started showing network but tried to call it Says number is not working. But at least data was working. 30 minutes I checked it was back to not working. So should I continue to pay for a line that I can’t use . Should maybe sue Vodacom for the emotional stress that me and my child has gone through because of their mess. I am giving you until 4pm to sort this .
