No Service Delivery at Vodacom

I upgraded to an S9 online. After using the phone for a few days, I discovered that the phone has "dead zones" on the left side of the screen - where keys/letter/numbers doesn't work, and I have to retype constantly. I reported the issue to Vodacom Cape Gate. They told me to call the Online Team. I called the Online Team, and they told me to take the phone in to Vodacom Canal Walk. When I got to Canal Walk, they called someone on 19-Nov-2018 to arrange for a pick-up. I haven't received a phone call yet for someone to pick up the device. So I called online services again on 22-Nov-2018. I spoke to 3 ladies, all of them promised to send me an email to confirm what we spoke about. They also told me that they will send me an reference number. I received nothing!!! My first 14-day window went passed already. I have not used my new phone for a full week now - still waiting for a pick-up. I also chose a Summer Deal, which allows me to get a voucher, I haven't received a voucher number or anything as well. I'm paying double the price of my previous contract, with a broken phone and nothing else to show for it. All I wanted was for them to give me a new phone, and pick up the broken one. I feel like cancelling my Vodacom contract, and going with someone else instead.

Hi, I'm still not happy with the service I'm receiving. I received a call from ********** 7. The lady explicitly said that she will investigate my issue and call me back. She never called me back! Then, I left the office already, then I receive a call that RAM Couriers is at reception! First of all, no one even sent me an SMS to confirm that RAM will come and collect the device today, and till this date, I have never received a tracking order or reference number for this issue. So, RAM could not collect the device today, because I was already 40km away from my work place. Well Done!

I demand to speak to a manager tomorrow morning! I'm done begging for service and I'm tired of empty promises. Either I speak to someone that can help me, or I cancel my contract, and port over to Telkom next month.
