Lost data

Ref: 1- ********** **********

On 23 May 2019 I got a message that all my data was suddenly gone, without me doing anything different from usual routine.

The next thing I loaded 2gigs at R249 as I had no idea what was wrong. A few minutes later this data disappeared.

I urgently need data so I loaded again 2gigs at R249 only for it to disappear again.

At this time I called Vodacom and they could not fix the problem and were clear they will not refund anything. They told me the day was consumed by Apple Music and iCloud which is completely incorrect as I had changed absolutely nothing on the phone.

They told me to turn these off and load data again as they can’t help me.

I turned this off and loaded data again for 2gigs at R249. A few minutes later this also disappeared.

At this point I’ve lost money and frustrated without data. I called them again and they logged a call which they tell me will be resolved in 7 days!

There’s customer service issues but I don’t undertake to interpret this one.

How does one resolve such if the service provider has given this kind of service?

I’ve just called them again now I’m the evening and gave the reference number only to be told there’s no update.

Frustrated and confused.

Reviewer Update
So Vodacom says I used the data and are not refunding me for anything.

They claim that I listed to apply music, which I listen to everyday, and in a space of a few hours used in excess of 5Gigs even when the trend on my usage shows that it is nowhere possible I could have done that, especially considering the time of the morning.

Not even a call to explain all this incorrect information.

Lesson, customers have no power in this country and our Telcos continue to abuse us...Such horrible customer experience!
