PATHETIC VODACOM "SERVICE"

I have been trying to upgrade my cell phone contract from February 2023, I have had to go through the process 5 times and still no upgrade. 1st the company didnt want to accept my drivers licence (yet I can renew a bank card with a driers licence) Vodacom was informed and they said they will lift the rulesa dn as RAM to accept the drivers licence... This never happened. Then 2nd round I found out that my contract was cancelled (not by me but by the phone being returned, not by me). 3Rd round the contract was either not sent through or activated I still dont know the truth, but when eventually corrected, again, suddenly no stock. 4th The incorrect info was uplaoded and no stock available even after it was confirmed that the device I wanted was in stock. Round 5 again after changing and confirming the device I wanted was in stock, again was suddenly not available. It has taken 3 months to try and upgrade by Vodacom, and all they say is we apologize for the inconvenience!!! I have spoken nicely, gone through the treacherous service & treatment each time, lost my temper and just accepted what they do, as, honestly we as the client does not have much of a choice and they know it!!!! Their service is utterly pathetic!! It has caused me emotional stress, time and money wrt their poor unprofessional service!!! I am beyond dissatisfied, but sadly I should have expected it from a company that only seems to want to get peoples money and offer no service in return, perhaps the contract I requested was too small to be of any value to Vodacom! Disgruntled Beyond!!

Vodacom... As in true form and ability from Vodacom, no contact has been made with me wrt this issue, nor has the person who has been doing the last few attempted upgrades contacted me, as promised.

Below is the poor reply from Vodacom after 3 months of trying to upgrade, the last 3 times when I go through the tedious lengthy process of having to upgrade a contract again and again and again Lunga has confirmed that the device is in stock, and surprise surprise, the last 3 times once the order has been placed I get a message its out of stock.. How is this possible??

Are the operators trained to lie to the customers just to get business, does Vodacom not have the ability to know what stock they have? Or is it just a point of, we dont care about you as the customer.

My original contract had a Samsung Watch 5 BT with the contract, it has now taken so long that I have had to change devices 3 times from a Samsung A53 to A73 to A54 and now I get a Watch 4 BT which is a down grade from what I originally approved, this is all due to Vodacom's incompetence!!

The service continues to decrease in professionality the longer one tends to work with them!!!
