********** upgrade in my name

I am so appalled with Vodacom. I have a contract with Vodacom for a WIFI router which is supposed to be coming to an end this week. I have received 2 smses last week telling me that i am due for an upgrade, i did not follow up on those smses because i wasn't going to upgrade but rather cancel my contract on Thursday. On Saturday i received an sms notifying me that a sim swap and an upgrade have been initiated on my WIFI router number and as a result i need to call Vodacom ASAP as i cannot use my data.

I called Vodacom and all i have received thus far is more frustrations as no one seems to be able to help. I have made an effort to call the Vodacom branch which this ********** upgrade is said to have taken place from, they also cannot help. My disappointment with Vodacom is your poor authentication processes, how did someone who was clearly not me managed to present you with my ID (which is not lost by the way) and proceeded to leave me in this mess?! Why didn't anyone try to REALLY make sure that i am the same person at your store? I am so upset with your deteriorating service and I'm asking someone/anyone at Vodacom to help me sort this out. All your incompetence is doing is frustrating and inconveniencing me to no end. I just want to cancel my contract this week and have nothing to do with you ever again.

This is supposed to be an urgent matter that has the potential to inconvenience me much more than i can ever anticipate but no one has bothered to call me yet. I have data that i have paid for and cannot use as a result of this mess up and Vodacom is just chilled. You are disgusting Vodacom!!

Since almost a month ago Vodacom has failed to bring to my attention the fact that there is a potential second ***** initiated on my name. I queried about the ********** upgrade because that is what i was aware of and only today I am told that there was also a new contract app**** in my name. If somebody at Vodacom had done their job PROPERLY and was courteous enough to make a follow up maybe this could have also been resolved much quicker. My question is would i now have to go through the most draining and harrowing experience of forth back at police station for the SECOND time? I need this to be sorted asap, sadly with Vodacom's daunting turnaround time this has a potential to stress me out ONCE MORE. I totally detest Vodacom!!!

Vodacom is pathetic. I will never take any contract with this company and i will make sure that all my friends and family are discouraged from having any dealings with this poor service provider. Thanks a lot for allowing these ********** activities on my name (that could have been prevented) to take place and thereafter still drag your feet to solve it. I am disgusted by you Vodacom!
