Terrible Service

We have been calling Vodacom for about 3 weeks trying to do an upgrade....Each consultant ask me to speck to another department. I was asked to email a deal match to ***. I have sent him 2 emails and no response. I then contact the social media team who deals with Facebook queries on the 28th June. They took all the information and sent it to the back office. A gentleman called me at the beginning of last week to say he is handling this matter. He called me at the end of last week and told me that they can match the deal but want to give me a 128 gig instead of a 528 gig phone. I told him to check on this and come back to me. as this is not a deal match but a deal comprise. He has not came back to me. I contacted the social media team ago and they said it will be escalated to management and still no response. I am now told again I have to wait. I have been a loyal client to Vodacom for more than 20 years. Is this how Vodacom treats a loyal client? Is Vodacom too big to help a single client? Does no one in Vodacom reply to clients? Am I expected to wait more than 2 months for an upgrade? Does no staff member follow through with a query? This is unacceptable. Vodacom spends so much on marketing and their staff damage the brand with such poor customer service . Maybe the staff need to be trained in how to interact with customer and ensure the queries get sorted out. I am so tried of all these issues which could have been easily avoided if staff take responsibility of assisting client rather than behaving in this manner.

Reviewer Update
I was contacted on on Friday(21st) by Ismael from the deal match department and he informed me that Terius will contact me on Saturday....I did speak to Terius on Saturday...He did send me some deals...The issue was that the deal I wanted was on Telkom business and the Vodacom contract was on personal and it could not be matched... I then found the same deal on personal contract...Why could Vodacom not find this as easy as I could ....I was contacted by a lady on Monday who assist with the hello peter issues....I explained everything to her and she said she follow up with me on Wednesday/ Thursday....Nofollow up. Reginald called me on Wednesday to inform me that the deal was matched... he said he will call me that afternoon for a delivery address...No phone call....I sent Terius a mail on Thursday regarding this matter....No response....I have now sent the online department all these issues ....lets see if they contact me...For me to contact the right person in Vodacom will take me a long as time....Again I need to keep following up with Vodacom...This was an opportunity for Vodacom to correct the poor service from my previous review but again the service is terrible and no on does their job ...No accountability..Staff do not do their job that they get paid for ...We have been with Vodacom for over 25years....Is this how Vodacom treats loyal customers....I don't know what more do I have to do as a client regarding all these issue??...Do i need driver to Vodacom to get help with an upgrade? Disgusting customer service
