No Words

One Day about two months ago I suddenly realised that my call line identity had been deactivated. Apon querying whats going on I was advised that my number had been allocated to a new contract taken out by a different customer.

It is now almost 2 months later having spoken to, in order, Thandeka at Customer Service, Mpho at customer service who actually helped get my number back to prepaid but the person who actioned it forgot to transfer the number back to my name under ref # ***, Coniah not sure of the spelling at contracts, Kerin at contracts, Rethabile at Customer service who was adamant that assured me that all I needed to do was contact ***** Disputes and it will be sorted.

I was then assisted by Keabetswe Lerumo whom I visited at our local outlet before contacting the call centre who advised that there was nothing he could do, to complete the form and sent it to ***** Disputes.

I then received a response from Thavho who advised that it is not a ***** related query and to contact customer care. I responded to Thavho explaining the above and it is 2 days now without a response.

I hope this direct my issue to someone who can resolve my issue as I am being severely impacted by this. Sometimes my data is no longer active, not knowing who is calling me and not knowing when my data is going to disappear really creates exciting experiences.

So today 20 November 2024. I am now sitting completely without a number. My number has been deleted off the system. I now have got no means to get any OTP's, they cannot call me to follow up or advise on the outcome. I am restricted from certain operations and cannot even get access to my estate because of this. I have in the interim bought another SIM card so that I have access to basic services while waiting for this to be resolved. I can be reached on ***.

Thank you for finally restoring my number and thank you for the 1 gig of data loaded as a gesture of remorse for all the inconvenience you have caused me. I have a flight at the end of the month and no cannot get a passport renewal date before I leave because guess what? Vodacom decided to port my number without my consent and then instead of just rectify the matter as quickly and easily as they caused it but left me to run around for 3 months not knowing when Im going to have internet, when I won't be available on WhatsApp, not knowing when I won't be able to access my estate or if my clients and vendors cannot get through because of an issue that I was not aware of. Thank you Vodacom. For 20 years of loyalty. This is the thanks I get. Not even the courtesy to restore my account as you found it. Give yourselves and your team a pat on the back. Your loyal customer.
