Money I spent on Telkom prepaid data due to Vodacom incompetence: NOVEMBER 2022 • 10 Nov - R100 • 12 Nov - R100 NOV Total: R200

DECEMBER 2022 • 8 Dec - R100 • 13 Dec - R100 • 19 Dec - R130 • 25 Dec - R300 DEC Total: R630

I spent money on Telkom prepaid data and also had pay my Vodacom bill for a pathetic service and product. Is this moral??

In Nov a lady called me offering 2gb of prepaid data to compensate me. I don't have a Vodacom prepaid sim. I told her I want cash refund. She promised me she will get back to me. To date no feedback has been provided.

In Dec I was promised a call back from technical team. To date no one has called me. Today is 10 January, and yet no one has called to resolve my refund.

It appears Vodacom wants to brush this under the carpet. I honoured my part of the contract yet Vodacom does not provide a service they agreed to.

As a client you would be in trouble if you short pay Vodacom, Yet they feel it is ok to not provide you with what you are paying full price for.

Its baffles me that a JSE listed company is so pathetic when it comes to service delivery. Baffles me even more that I had to load Telkom prepaid data to use in my home.

Reviewer Update
I have sent an email. I have called your call centres every week. I have sent messages on FB comments and inbox. I have sent the necessary info requested on FB, yet your staff ask every week for the same info. It is mocking to have to send the same info all the time, yet not be helped. The info is there, they can read. Why ask for info and then do nothing about it? When I following on the same complaint they ask for the same info again.

To date no one has contacted me regarding my refund. The last time I called the contact centre they told me they did try calling me. I asked them which number they called, they said they tried calling me on the router number. Please inform you staff to have some common sense. You cannot call a router. My complaint is about LTE which uses a router and your network. Call me on my contact number. Please can we try to be smarter.
