Unsatisfied customer

On the 22nd February 2026 I went to Vodacom in springs to purchase a new iphone the latest one I was told that I do not qualify. The person who assisted me informed me that I qualify for iphone 13. I didn't have any issues with that she then informed me about the terms of the contract I signed and left with the phone. When I got home I realized that it was pre owned and she never told me me me that it was pre owned. The store was closed when I realized that it was pre owned I then phoned the following day to ask that the contract be either canceled or they give me a new phone as it was concluded in bad faith an that had I known that it was a pre owned phone I was not going to accept it. They refused to assist me and it cannot be canceled. I was angry because when I went to Vodacom and spoke to the lady I said I was there to buy a new iphone not a pre owned iPhone and she didn't have the curtacy to explain to me that the phone she is giving me is pre owned. I'm now stuck with a phone I don't want and have not used it since purchasing it.

Reviewer Update
Please be advised that the customer was informed that the unit is a Certified Pre Owned (CPO) device prior to purchase. I spoke to the customer the day after purchasing the unit as the consultant had also offered her alternative options due to the customers credit limit ,but the customer was only interested in an Iphone and the pre owned unit is the only Iphone option that would allow based of the customers credit .

The customer was made aware of this option, Thank you .

Above is the response form vodacom. It does not make sense to me that if I was informed that the unit is pre owned why then will I phone them the next day on 23 February 2026 in the morning soon after they open their shop around 9 am and complain. I was even put on speaker when I was talking to both the manager and the consultant. She even apologizedand that I told her tg hat I wantto cancelthe contract. The message above just shows the level of dishonesty and I will advise people to purchase their products online or through the phone as conversations are recorded.
