Sim card never activated

I see many people have had this problem and it's ridiculous Vodacom. I took out a new contract with you, i have a cell contract too and this one is data sim with router. They told me the usual s**** of wait 24 hours to activate it. And nothing. The call center told me to wait another 2 days. Not acceptable, please activate the sim now or im canceling contract. You are all eager to get people to sign for new contracts and leave the store with device but then you won't activate the sim. We are on our own. Not cool.
