I spend R40-50k a year at Vodacom to be treated like *******...

<p>I'm on Vodacom's RedVIP package and that name is 50% right and 50% wrong; I'm red alright, red with anger because a VIP is the last thing that Vodacom makes me feel like.</p> <p> </p> <p>Item 1: I can't login to Vodacom.co.za. I call their supposed Red Crew--infuriation experts in my experience--only to be told they can do nothing and need to escalate. They pass the buck, I'm told I'll get a return call in 48 hours... nothing. Still don't know what's happening with my access.</p> <p> </p> <p>Item 2: The Vodacom voice password for Customer Care (082 111) is stuck in the middle of registration. Every single time I call, it asks me to complete my registration and wastes a bunch of my time only to tell me that I've been successfully authenticated once I've completed my registration. When I phone again, same thing happens.</p> <p> </p> <p>Item 3: I've had to call in several times to get someone to swtich my account to pre-paid so that I can get away from Vodahell. Today, I finally managed to get someone to action the change; however, I've yet to receive a confirmation SMS or e-mail and I'm not exactly certain that my contract will be cancelled as requested. I'm going to e-mail Customer Care so that I have a record because come 1 April, I'm cancelling my denit order instruction.</p> <p> </p> <p>Item 4: Amost every issue that's involved issues with service has not been resolved by Vodacom since I joined as a customer in 2011.</p>

Hi Casandra,

While I appreciate that you've managed to get my online profile sorted, I sincerely doubt that you've fixed the issues with the way Vodacom treats its customers. Bottom line, I've had to fight with Vodacom for years to solve some pretty basic issues.

As indicated on the call we recently had, Vodacom has destroyed its relationship with me due to perpetual bad service.
