Inconsistency

Inconsistent Information Provided by Vodacom Cancellations Department I am writing to express my concern and frustration regarding the inconsistent information I have received from your team about my contract.

On 14 February 2025, I contacted your Cancellations Department and was clearly informed that I could cancel the SIM portion of my contract (airtime/data services) while continuing to pay off the device in monthly installments. Based on that information, I decided not to cancel at the time, feeling reassured by the option available to me.

However, when I called again recently to proceed with the cancellation, I was told the exact opposite — that I cannot cancel only the SIM, and that I must pay off both the SIM and the phone in full if I want to end the contract. I tried to explain what I was previously told, but the agent I spoke with insisted that the company policy does not allow separate cancellations.

This conflicting information has left me confused and disappointed. I was not told this when signing up, and I made decisions based on what your staff communicated to me during the call on 14 February. It is unfair to customers when policies are not clearly communicated or are app**** inconsistently.

I am requesting the following:

A clear explanation of Vodacom’s policy regarding SIM-only cancellation while continuing device payments.

A review of the call on 14/02/2025 with the Cancellations Department to verify what was communicated to me.

A fair resolution that reflects the information I was originally provided.

I would appreciate your urgent attention to this matter, as it directly affects my financial decisions and trust in your service.

Reviewer Update
You claim that a premature cancellation quote was sent to me on 19 August 2025 at 14:41:47 for the number ending in 2671. Let me be clear — I did not receive any such quote.

Your agent told me they would call me back after sending the correct documentation. That call never happened. Instead, you closed my ticket as if the issue was resolved. It is not resolved.

This is the same back-and-forth nonsense I have been dealing with from Vodacom. Your agents keep making promises that never get fulfilled, and customers are left chasing the same issue over and over again.

I want the correct premature cancellation quote sent to me immediately. Stop wasting my time with excuses and empty promises. Until I receive the correct documentation, nothing can move forward.

Sort this out — or I will escalate this to ICASA and the Consumer Protection authorities.
