Terrible upgrade experience + Lack of customer service

I have been a loyal Vodacom customer since cell phones became popular in South Africa. I currently have 7 contracts with you for the entire household and even extra handsets. On 4 May I contacted your upgrades contact center to migrate 2 numbers to a different package. For no apparent reason, the consultant proceeded to change a third number to a different package as well! What you need to know about this third number, is that for almost 2 years I have not paid any subscription charges on the line – it came as an extra on one of those double deals with 2 handsets, and I never even activated the SIM so it was never really a concern because it didn't cost anything. But all of a sudden there are now subscription charges on this line! I called back immediately on the 4th of May and asked that the upgrade - which I never requested! - be reversed on this line, which I believe has been done. Yet my invoice for May still show these charges, and the bill so far for June (online) still shows a subscription charge, as well as a charge for Legal Advice. I have called almost every day this week hoping someone can fix this, yet every time it only gets logged but nothing seemingly gets done. Who do I need to speak to or what needs to happen for this to be sorted out? I am not appreciating the poor level of service I am getting from Vodacom. To top it all off, the 2 numbers that I called to upgrade are being charged more than what was told to me by the consultant! I am seriously regretting signing up for another 2 years with you people.

When exactly will you be providing feedback because I just received my invoice for May, and it is still not fixed. I called you people last week already, even before I logged this report on Hello Peter, and yet no one has been in touch.

You people are still charging me for this line! Almost two years with no charge, and due to some idiot trying to be proactive and upgrading a line without me even asking, now there are charges on this line! Please, for the love of all that is holy, can someone sort this out!!!???

This has been the worst, most infuriating and frustrating issue I have ever had to deal with! Every consultant I have spoken to seems to be unable to resolve the issue. It always gets referred to the "back office" and I am told that I would receive an SMS with a reference number and that someone will call me. I have never received any SMS, and I always needed to make contact with you to find out if there's any progress because no one ever calls back. This is by far the worst customer service experience I have had to endure.

Still no feedback from Vodacom - worst customer service provider ever!
