Pathetic Service!

<p>I just upgraded my Vodacom contract after much thought and consideration but now I am having regrets. This is due to the terrible service received from Vodacom customer care when I have been calling in to do a sim swap because of the upgrade. I called yesterday evening and was put on hold for 15min only to then be told "the system is offline and we cannot continue". I then requested to speak to a supervisor and was put through to Mr. Raymond who promised that as soon as they are back online he will have the sim swap done and call me back. This was now a total of almost 30min on the line. It is now 22:13 on 25 August which is 24 hours later and still no sim swap done. I even called the call centre again this evening and went through the whole verification Etc. amd was once again told system is offline. I requested to speak to a manager/supervisor and even asked for Mr Raymond but they put me on hold for almost 10min and never came back on the line. I called back and then someone answered the call but all I could hear was music and people talking but nobody talking to me to assist so had to cut the call. I called back the third time and then the lady asked me a whole lot of questions for verification and said I did not answer correctly so the account is locked and I should call back once I have the correct information. I mean what kind of service from the network who claims to be the BEST??? Unacceptable!</p>

I have still continued to try to call in but was cut of fat least 3-4 times without anyone answering my calls. Eventually an agent answers and says she can't assist because she does not have access to do sim swaps. Once again, PATHETIC SERVICE!

so it's been 10 hours since Vodacom said someone will contact me but still nothing. I will reiterate the fact that Vodacom has the worst customer service.

I am so disgusted at the service received from Vodacom. To date I have not received a call from Vodacom regarding the difficulty and inconvenience with the upgrade process, sim swap and call center service. To add to all of this I now have had a problem with not having caller ID and this seems to be since the upgrade/sim swap (I am not sure exactly). I have called the call center this morning and stayed on the line for 15min only to hear from Kelebogile (the call centre agent) that the system is offline. She then said she will call me back when the system is back online. Thankfully I did receive a call back from her but disappointingly the feedback was negative from her. She said my account is in arrears and suspended. This is ridiculous coz my account has always been paid up to date and is on debit order. And also if it was in arrears Vodacom would not have processed the upgrade. I urgently request a call back from a senior manager and for this mess to be resolved and some kind of compensation from Vodacom for all of this hassle and inconvenience.
