Non existent customer service and follow up

been a loyal customer for over 21 years and not a single month have i defaulted on my account.i have been battling with my account since May 2021 and to date nobody has taken ownership and solved my query, i tried calling the call centre now and my number was blocked due to high number of calls from my number. i have been patient and every time i speak to a person i am promised a call back but nobody follows up and even asked for my contract to be cancelled and then they called me back and then too the order is messed up. i am at my wits end with Vodacom. i have filled their surveys, followed all the channels thay they requested me to follow and responding to their sms to say i am not taking the contract only to fine out that they have ugraded my contract. they never give you a contact number but you are constantly promised that they will call back. my contract has been downgraded and now when i called customer care my number was blocked . i was told to call ********** to have my number unblocked @R2.40 a min and whilst on the call the call cuts with sms coming through saying i have exceeded my balance. how is it possible? Because this is vodacom customer care. i had an unlimited package and now they down grading me. Customer service is non existent. To solve the problem they can just go back and listen to the recording and i have requested that just now and guess what the call cuts and no one returns the call which means i have to go threw the same process again. I will be surprised to get a call back or to have my problem solved. 4 months and counting. well done Vodacom. this is how loyalty gets rewarded

why is it that you guys put systems in place but dont adhere to your standards. i just want the contract canceled as i did not agree to the deal that you sent me. i clicked on the sms to say it was incorrect and you guys still sent me the incorrect device and the person who spoke to me on the 18th August for the deal match never called me back. i sent the device back and still you guys cant cancel the deal that i never agreed to. i followed exactly what vodacom requested and i am still getting the run around. how difficult is it to just speak to one competent person to solve the problem. it does not seem like customer retention is a priority at vodacom and neither is customer service...... shocked but not really at the level of service i received from vodacom... like i said before loyalty does not carry weight with vodacom....
