07 Mar 2019, 15:54So Vodacom does not read any correspondence that gets sent back to them. I have stated that the device is defective and is heating up causing it to overheat thus bending the metal housing. See the correspondence I have just had and yet still get the same response. We will not repair it as it is bent. Yes I know it is bent as it is defective and over heating. No wonder Vodacom is loosing customers. Also if they wanted to pull any data from the device they would not be able to as I reset the phone as advised by the consultant to factory settings before I handed it in. I would not expect service like this from Vodacom for a client (My wife) that has been with this service provider for nearly 20 years. I myself have been with Vodacom now for nearly 16 years.

Good day
We have collected the device and started to use it again. After downloading 3 apps again onto the device it got so hot we could not hold it. This is not normal so clearly a problem is with the device. And I see another user on Hello Peter has the same problem. His device also bent from the heat. So this is not an isolated issue. Please advise how you are planning on rectifying this matter as this device is been paid for monthly and is no longer safe to use and it is a defect on the device side and not a user abuse issue. If it was bent by sitting on it the glass would of broken. If the frame heated up it would of separated from the glass as it has just done so. I am prepared to take it back to your canal walk store and we can run some downloads and use it like you would a normal phone and you can see for yourself just how it heats up.
I have the exact same phone and I use mine all the time for work and conference calls so it works hard daily and never gets a fraction near the temperature my wife's phone gets.
Kind regards
Brendan
