Never renew or upgrade a contract with Vodacom (part 1)

<p>I have had a data contract for 3 years - this month I "upgraded" it. Last night I ran out of data (no sms notification) and my account was locked. This despite the fact that I have an open account and have signed all the disclaimers stating that I will pay out-of-bundle rates in the event of data running out. SIX phone calls to Vodacom later . . .my account can only be reactivated in 3 days time. Amazing how your debit order is right on time every month though.</p>
