******* BY VODACOM

<p>VODACOM UPGRADED ONE OF MY NUMBERS WITHOUT MY PERMISION. THEY DID PHONE ME TO ASK WHY I DID NOT UPGRADE UPON WHICH I TOLD THEM I AM GOING TO UPGRADE IN THE FOLLOWING WEEK. WHEN I WENT TO UPGRADE AT A VODACOM STORE, I WAS TOLD THAT VODACOM HAS ALREADY UPGRADED ME ON ONE OF THE NUMBERS WITH ONE GIG AND NO DEVICE? I WAS PLANNING ON UPGRADING MY TABLET TO A P9 DEVICE AND UPGRADED THE SECOND NUMBER TO A SAMSUNG A5. I HAVE PHONED THEM MANY THIMES TO RECTIFY THIS MATTER BUT WITH NO SUCCES. THEY SAY THEY WILL CANCEL IT BUT THEY DON'T RESPOND AT ALL. EVERY TIME I PHONE VODACOM YOU SPEAK TO A NEW PERSON. </p> <p>THE PROBLEM- I AM PAYING A DEVICE FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS WHICH IS NOW THREE YEARS OLD AND VERY OUTDATED. BY THE TIME I AM DONE WITH THAT CONTRACT (WHICH I HAVE NOT SIGNED FOR OR GAVE PERMISSION FOR) THE TABLET WILL BE 5 YEARS OLD. THEY UPGRADED ME WITHOUT MY PERMISION. I CAN'T GET A NEW DEVICE UNLESS I TAKE OUT A NEW CONTRACT WHICH WAS NOT IN MY BUDGET. I CALL THAT VERY DISHONEST AND NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL.</p> <p> </p> <p>THEIR SERVICE IS TERRIBLE!!</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

Thank you for the feedback but Problem still not solved!!

Why can vodacom have the option on their side for me to upgrade but the store manager from the vodacom shop do not have the option on her system?

I PREFER NOT to speak on the telephone with an agent because then I have the same problem all over again. I want to upgrade at a store where I can choose my options.

I am still paying an old contract and still can not upgrade unless I take out a new contract. Back to square one.

I am still very unhappy because according to legal advise it is ***** from Vodacom to upgrade me online and without permission.

Today is 6 March and still no progress. This upgrade without my permission was done early in February. After spending hours on the telephone- Vodacom could not solve my problem.
