Suspension without warning

My Vodacom account is in arrears. I phoned accounts in November 2025 to make payment arrangements, as I previously had done. The lady I spoke to said she can't help me because my account was only on 30 days outstanding, I can only make arrangements when it is on 60 days outstanding. Yesterday (08/12/2025) both my and my husbands phone stopped working, we can't even access our banking apps (which works when even when we don't have data). Today (09/12/2025) I tried to make a call, and got a prerecorded message saying my account is suspended. I did not even get a warning email or anything stating that this will happen. I then went to a Vodacom shop for assistance and they gave me the following number to call, ***, stating that even thought my account is suspended I can still make calls to this number. Turns out I can't.

So now my phone is locked, I can't access my banking or anything. With no warning, and after I did call to make payment arrangements and was denined. This is utterly unprofessional. I've been with Vodacom for years.

I want an email address for Vodacom accounts so this can be sorted out. Seeing that I can't even call them. I work retail, so phoning me won't help, as I'm not allowed to have my phone with me. I want an EMAIL ADDRESS.

Once this is sorted out and I'm paid my outstandings, I will proceed to cancel both my contracts with Vodacom, because just dropping your client just like that even when they did want to make payment arrangements is disgraceful.

So today (10/12/2025) I get an official email, after I had to complain on this platform? As stated on my previous post, I can't take calls, and since my phone is now blocked, I can't even phone Vodacom. Please supply me with an EMAIL ADDRES of someone I can contact to make arrangements.

And the struggle continues. Someone did contact me via email, thank you for that. I explained my situation in a three point email, stating my grievance and asking for assistance, as well as stating that I want to cancle my contracts. I get a reply back not even touching on any of my requests, and informing me my contracts will be extend. My request for cancellation was completely ignored. I've since sent follow up emails, but no one has gotten back to me. First my email was not answered at all, and now I'm being ignored. Please help me to just cancle my contracts and convert the sim cards to prepaid.

Please answer my emails! You can send me threatening sms's, but you ignore my emails. Horrible service.
