Misleading/poor service

I have been with Vodacom since 1998. I was due for an upgrade in 2017 but choose to retain my device as it was still in good working order. My monthly fee was subsequently reduced. Earlier this year I was contacted by a Vodacom representative who indicated that they could offer me a "better" monthly fee. I agreed to this. But, the monthly fee actually increased. Furthermore, I recently decided that I needed to upgrade my device, but the automated Vodacom system indicated that I can only upgrade in 2020. I called the call centre on 31 July to report this matter and indicate that I had been mislead by a Vodacom representative. I was informed that I would be contacted within 48 hours. I am still waiting for a response (despite a follow-up call).

And now Vodacom has increased my Bill by R500 for "equipment" with any explanation and closed the call via sms. Very poor customer service!

Sibongile Khumalo from Vodacom called me late on Friday afternoon and was very helpful and resolved this matter in a few minutes. I was very impressed.
