Take 36month contract or take nothing.

I'm guessing you can't give a zero star review.. So my previous contract with vodacom was 24 months and more expensive phone...contract done and cancel...all cool... Decide to get another phone but abit cheaper and decides to choose 24 month but to find out NOPE if you want the phone you will have to take 36 month contract or leave the phone.. All of a sudden my credit score is bad ? My banking app says its over the moon good.. never missed 1 payment on my previous contact.. so I'm guessing telling the sales person I need the phone gives them the right to bully you into 36month contract...Well done vodacom keep up the great work..
