International Roaming failure

Vodacom have failed miserably to ensure that I can receive calls while in the UK. I visited a Vodafone shop and called Customer Service to ensure Vodacom and have been assured Roaming is active but I have no access to a UK network. I loaded airtime which disappeared . When asking about this I receive "copy and paste" response that it was for out of bundle calls and content services. I have never subscribed to content services and without access on roaming how can I be making calls. When this is raised my emails go unanswered. Shows that Vodacom do not care about their long standing and loyal customers as they seem unwilling to resolve my issue. No customer service at all. With Christmas around the corner I am out of contact with friends and family in SA as Vodacom service does not work.

Please be so kind as to explain why I can not connect to a UK network if roaming has indeed been activated.

Auto responses are extremely annoying. I need my sim to be active on a UK network. My partner has no problem with MTN. When someone phones my number it goes straight to voicemail

Vodacom have confirmed my view that there is no concern for their long standing customers. Vodacom responds privately however the promise of a refund for the disappearing airtime is an empty promise as it is disappearing again despite i still have no International roaming. Vodacom doesn't seem concerned that their customer can not access UK networks. When you respond to them on this platform you receive another automated "copy and paste" response. 2 days and the problems have not been resolved.
