Modem And Data Card

I purchased a modem with a data card from Vodacom on 25 May 2021. The card with the modem was delivered to my home address within 3 days. When I went to Vodacom to activate my card the technician told me that I do not have 20 GIG of data on the card but only 10GIG during the day and 10 GIG from midnight. I immediately cancelled the contract on 29 May 2021 which was within the cool off period. Now I am waiting for a month to get Vodacom to collect the modem, which I have not used. I am not allowed to take the modem and data card to the nearest Vodacom store, they have to collect it from my home, how ridiculous?. In the mean time I have to pay the device and data as Vodacom does not cancel the contract if the device was not picked up from my home, only then they consider it as cancelled. It is very, very bad service, they were quick to deliver the device but I have to wait a month for them to collect it. I have made several calls to Vodacom already, wanted to speak to a manager but they refuse and TRY to help which did not bring me any further to resolve/cancel this contract. If someone from Vodacom calls me ever again for any contract update or selling anything, I will just put the phone down because if that is the way they assist paying clients who made use of their service for more than 10 years I do not want to deal with them. What more do you have to do to cancel a contract which was within the cool off period? Maatjie Prinsloo ***

Good day

Thank you for the call I have received from Vodacom (Phindile) was the contact person. However, I am still waiting for the modem and data card to be picked up or any arrangements made with me to pick up the device. In the mean time I have to pay this device because according to Vodacom if it was not picked up yet, the contract cannot be cancelled yet. How ridiculous is that? The device was delivered in 3 days but now I have to wait months for it to be picked up and in the mean time has to pay it.
I am really not a satisfied customer.
I hope to hear from Vodacom soon regarding this.
