Need help but no one available to contact to ask!!!!!!

I’m in Australia for 20 months. And trying to get someone at vodacom to help us and nothing!! Just that Tobi that is total waste of time. I’m unable to, suddenly, to call my wife or my daughter’s cell phone numbers. And they can not it seems call out either. I can call a RSA number it looks like but suddenly they cannot make calls??? Why? Can’t get help either from vodacom

The error as I reported throughout this period is simple: "call failed"......
That's it!!!
I am simply unable to call my wife's cell number or my daughter's cell number. If I dial +***7 on my phone using my Vodacom SIM card, I get a "call failed" error !!!
And you do not seem to be able to call me either??My iPhone is here in my hand and I've received no call from you.
So that then problem we've been trying to get solved since moving here on 04 September 2023.

Good afternoon

That is an OLD email and I rep**** to it at that time.

We followed every step they suggested and STILL ARE unable to make or receive vodacom calls. I even said that in my reply email and in my various complaints!!!

Point is, since that OLD email VODACOM have not helped us further and in fact just keep reverting to the same questions they asked me years ago, and I’ve answered multiple times, it basically done nothing to resolve this problem.

Nothing.

So after months & in fact since September 2023, we have been begging Vodacom to help us!!!!
And nothing!!
Just excuses and zero resolution!!
Just delay tactics and zero constructive resolution.

Guys, what a poor example of Customer Service and caring for their customers!!!!
