FROM BAD TO WORSE

On the 9th of December I upgraded my cellphone contract for one of the phone numbers I have using the vodacom website, and I upgraded to a RED Flexi 280 Plan. Despite putting in the correct number multiple times on the website during the process, the wrong number has been put on the RED Flexi 280 Plan. I contacted the call centre, and they advised that I need to cancel the contract and send the phone back. There is nothing wrong with the phone, and I do not want to send it back, I have spent money on screen protectors. After telling them this I got cut off. To date no one has come back to me. I went into the branch at Cresta today and I have been told there is nothing they can do because Vodacom branches are now Vodacom Franchises!!! Franchises cant deal with online orders. Is this another way to leave customers without service.

Its mid Feb and I'm Still waiting for my issue to be resolved. On the positive side I can say that all the people I speak to at Vodacom are nice. They try very hard to resolve the problem I have but their help desk system is hopeless. When I give them my account number or phone number the call service agent cannot see any history of my complaint/issue. I have to explain the story each time from the beginning. What a waste of time for me and for them. I'm starting to feel very sorry for the staff at Vodacom. I'm sure that not everyone they deal with is patient. I'm pretty sure the call agents are as frustrated as I am. Vodacom management need to do something to fix their ridiculous systems that aren't working.

Its now 10th of March and whatever is happening with this problem has gotten worse. Now Im being billed for 2 phones - only one ordered. I gues the virtual reversal didnt work!!

I am also being threatened that the service is going to be cut off due to part payment. Sorry Vodacom Im not paying for a phone I havent recieved and a contract I did not request.

CAN THIS PROBLEM PLEASE BE RESOLVED!!!
