Servica Vodacom South Africa

I am in Australia and my vodacom account has been blocked. Yesterday (3 Dec’19 approx 07hoo SA time) I tried to make contact with Vodafone South Africa via the vodacom app on my cell phone by using the chat facility. Of course a robot answered the call and could not assist me. I was promised by this robot 7 times to be connected to a human person.- no success for 6 hours vodacom can check my 1-hour long discussion with this what should they wish. On recommendation of the Bot I then contact their “friendly customer care” centre. I was given the very same customer care number that all of us using South Africa. (+27) (0)82 135 - we know the results - agents are very busy “hold on or phone back later”. From Australia this was unaffordable. So, I tried 20mins ago knowing that it is 04h30 in SA. Same story:- agents are very busy “hold on or phone back later” I send a Whatsapp yesterday that remained unopened for exactly 6 hours. - still no return reply. The Robot service is useless and Vodacom SA do not provide for any SA Vodacom Customer with a problem calling from overseas. Be aware of your cell phone. - As a matter of interest, I have a R250/month Australian Contract with 30 GIGA Bite data, 1 000 local minutes, 150 minutes for international calls.!!!

Reviewer Update
Referring to my previous message and the quick response from Vodacom, I am sorry to say that no consultant has contacted me up to now as promised by Vodacom.
This morning at 04h30 SA time I phoned again the standard customer care number and spoke to Reswa in Vodacom Johannesburg(?) explaining my dilemma.
At that point the Vodacom systems were down, but she promised to phone back by 06h00 SA time.
Needless to say the Vodacom silence brought me back to Hello Peter who managed to get a 1st quick response. - and thanks Hello Peter!!
Vodacom SA - please respond, you have my Australian contact No , again given this morning to to Reswa and, my e-mail as well. I have urgent messages to check, and I cant - Please!!
