The forgotten Vodacom client... "sorry sir you dont exisit on my system"

I have been with Vodacom for many years. I have threatened to leave them many times but now is the time. This business is borderline ***********.

I still have unresolved issues with Vodacom dating back years and no doubt they will do to this review what they have done to my others ie lets connect privately and we will resolve your issue. The problem is they never do.

My most recent issues is regarding an upgrade, something you would think they would be interested in. I Pre Ordered the S20+ on their site, selected the upgrade option etc etc. At the end I get a message saying someone will be in touch No one has been so I call the dreaded call center with 2 systems. I speak to a nce lady who informs me that they have no record of me on the system she can acess, but she can only access the new system and will need to get someone to call me back who has access to the old system. What a bunch on nonsense! The funny thing is today they debited my account so they clearly do have a record of of me somewhere :-)

Needless to say I haven't received a call, In fact I have never go a call back from Vodacom when they say they will call back, even from management. Terrible service.

I have sworn to leave them many times, but come May I will be moving to MTN.

If you are a Vodacom customer service agent and you are reading this please don't ask me to discuss this off line. Lets discuss it here rather, I would love the world to see your level of service in all its "glory"

I am still waiting for the relevant person to contact me. Someone who can address the issue of why when I call the call centre I am told that Vodacom does not have my Information. I have been a customer for 15 years for goodness sake.

The only person to contact me was only interested in upgrading me and not answering my questions. I want to speak to someone who can answer my questions with regards to my data, where is it and how I can be assured that it complies to POPI!

So, I have not heard anything back from Vodacom. Clearly this business disregards their legal responsibilities when it comes to POPI, and the privacy of their customers data.

I want answers Vodacom!!!!

It just blows my mind that Vodacom will say they will get hold of you and never do. This has happened continually and I am really dumbfounded by this total lack of common decency. If you say you are going to do something just do it. You used to be so much better than this. I am still waiting for the answer on where my Data is!
