Lies Lies Lies

<p>I am appaled at the service Vodacom have given me. </p> <p>One year ago I recieved an SMS saying that my platinum status had been renewed for a year. I was not aware of ever being a platinum provider. But after several phone calls and being routed from one department to another, I finally was told by a Vodacom agent that I was now a platinum customer and that one of the benefits was being able to get a new handset every year. I was very excited about this as I could now give my son a phone.</p> <p>I was never told that by getting a new handset I would effectively be renewed for another 2 years. Something I would not have done if I was given the alternative. </p> <p> </p> <p>I only realised this when I wanted to check when my contract was up for renewal. And disvovered that I was not liable to Vodacom until 2017. </p> <p> </p> <p>I have now received an SMS saying that my platinum status has not been renewed again and I am now stuck with Vodacom until 2017. With no explantion as to why and what changed?</p> <p> </p> <p>This is unnaceptable as I never once was told that I would be in my contract for another 2 years otherwise I would never have made that choice.</p> <p> </p> <p>Vodacom **** to me and I now have no new handset, no premium service and I am stuck in a contract that I was would never have had. </p> <p> </p> <p>The one guarentee I have is that based on this service, I will be moving myself and my company's personal contracts off Vodacom ASAP</p> <p> </p>

So. Vodacom have contacted me and their response. Send a terms and conditions for being a platinum customer. My response. How does this help me now or resolve my issue. You never informed me of this before I signed up. Now you expect that sending me this info now is a resolution to the problem. Either renew my status, explain to me properly why it was not renewed and what you can do to assist me or release me from my contract. Don't send me terms and conditions after the fact
