Horrific Vodacom service

The customer service of Vodacom is absolutely horrific. My husband passed away in 2024. Since then I have been battling to put my children's cellphones on my name. Been to the Mall of the South Branch 3 times. they say I can't afford it. I must come back. But in the mean time I have been paying this account by eft. So last time I was at the branch they said I must phone the call center. I phone the call center and they said they cant help me. I must go to the branch. After telling them AGAIN he has passed away. They said OH no you must speak to a different department the deceased department. I told them but I have been telling you this for a year. Then I got through to the deceased department they said oh hey have flagged his account now. It is going to be suspended. I told her how can u do that??? This is the lines of my children. How do you want me to get hold of them??? She said but he has passed away.. I told her I KNOW!! I am trying to sort this out for a year now and been paying this account every month for a year!! I asked to speak to a supervisor. Apparently there is not one available!!! Ask to be phoned back and still no one has phoned me. So I do not understand why this is such a big problem. Why would they rather cancel phone lines that is my children's phones then just help me get the problem sorted that I have been telling them about for more than a year. I cant wait for the contracts to end so I can move to a company that has some compassion for someone with a death in the family and not add to my stress and anxiety.

You phoned me just to tell me please email this department and lets hope for the best.
Still no resolution. Your own supervisors can't even give me straight answers!!! Just I am not sure!!
Unbelievable shocking!!
Please people stay away from Vodacom
