INEPT CALL CENTRE AGENTS AND BACKOFFICE

I have no words to even say... I no longer have an invoice or should I say it is 0 value, however my number has been cut and data on mobile router cut. This may I say, after trying to discuss with the call centre in March 2023 and was told a dispute would be raised and would be finalised by end of April - that is really a long time to wait. I have also written to them on several occasions to which I get a 'read notification' but no response - this was in February and then again in March and again in July - I will just add here that I am stationed on a ship... so this has been on both my returns to SA, the latest in July and after having picked up that I do not have a line that i can communicate with. The reason for the call to contact centre in March was because I had received an extremely high bill when in fact as mentioned I work on a ship and therefore am using various other prepaid sim cards form differnet coutnries. So what is thebill for - for roaming... and what was the email for in February was to ask Vodacom to please reverse a charge (which I requested the very next day after purchase) as I had purchased a roaming package which was a promo for R99 and only after I purchased did I realise that it cannot be used on a ship (in very small writing) - not to mention that Vodacom had in fact charged me R199 for this and not the promo charge anyhow. Now all in all I have made attempts to get this sorted out and by the way after calling the call centre in March I still made my normal installment plus extra and the following month again... but I did not hear form Vodacom - I stopped the payments. I am happy to resume payments as soon as Vodacom have the courtesy of getting back to me.

Reviewer Update
Well after receiving a response to this review stating that a consultant would contact me... it is now 11 days later and I have still not heard from a consultant nor have I had my service re-instated.

I have been a Vodacom customer with the same number since Vodacom's inception and have never has such bad service. Having just gone through some of the other reviews,y see that this is an ongoing issue and looks like my problem is unlikely to be resolved, so I will take this up with ICASA if I do not get a this resolved within the next 2 days. I am about to leave the country and will not have the means or time to discuss this further.
