Lack of service delivery

I have had nothing but terrible after service from Vodacom ever since I have upgraded to contract. The device was delivered without a Sim card, I called customer service immediately after delivery (Tuesday 24/10) requesting for a Sim to be dispatched. I was assured that the courier will deliver it that same afternoon, Wednesday 25/10 I called enquiring about said Sim delivery and it was once again promised to be delivered that afternoon. Thursday morning I once again called and a sales agent informed me that no Sim was dispatched as no order was logged for said Sim. At this point I am beyond frustrated as I have been asked security questions, put on hold so many times and transferred from one consultant to the next just to be told nothing has been done. I spoke to a supervisor who advised I go into a contact centre as the soonest date for a sim delivery will only be the following week. I did that, left work early and went to a contact centre. I paid for a contract sim and was promised that a sim swap and rica would be done and the sim would be active within 24hours. Well today is Tuesday 31/10 and I am still not able to use the new device as the sim swap is still an open/hanging order ever since Thur 26/10. Vodacom has sent me from pillar to post and yet they cannot help me. But do bear in mind a deduction for this new contract has been made but I cannot use the service. Vodacom I would appreciate it if you could for a change give me a call and TRY at least TRY and deliver a service to a paying frustrated client. I feel that most of your consultants are *********** as I have spoken to more than 15 of your consultants of which none of them could explain this mess.

Reviewer Update
I long for the day I can write a post to commend Vodacom on good or even average service delivery. Well today is not that day. After the issue with my sim card and sim swop I thought my problems with bad service from Vodacom are finally over, well guess I was wrong. I started experiencing problems with the device I got on contract from Vodacom and have been calling since Monday 13, November 2017 for assistance and have once again been sent back and forth, promised I would be called back and that this issue will be handled. It is Thursday 16 November and well nothing. The device is faulty, it drops calls, when sending a voicenote it records nothing and when receiving or making calls the person on the other side can not hear me. I am now told because I am out of my 14 day after delivery period they need to repair the phone, well I could not use the phone for almost two weeks after delivery as you did not deliver a sim card and the sim swop was not active. Yes, it is out of the 14 day window after delivery but If I did not have the sim card and sim swop issue I would have picked up the phone is faulty. I refuse to wait for weeks until this phone is repaired and want my current device replaced. Looking to hear from Vodacom
