Upgrade disaster

Vodacom contacted me on 6 Oct for an upgrade. I did the upgrade and entered into a new contract due to what was agreed upon for the add on benefits for my 3 cell phone lines. I received a new Samsung S20+ with no upgrade of my contract. When I enquire about my upgrade the consultant realize that I have received the phone for free. Then my bill was rectified and still no add on benefits. I have spent many hours since with the retention, upgrade division and general enquiries with several ref no and promises from consultants to get called back. Every time I phone Vodacom I must listen to a ridicules' message that tells me that my contract is upgradable in Oct 2023 and that my new contract will expire in Jan 2024. Wow, what a disaster. I cannot believe that one person have to negotiate to get the benefits for this *********** company after they have called me to sell me the benefits. Can someone at Vodacom with managers authority please call me to fix my problem once and for all. I want the benefits that was explained to me that lead me to enter into a new contract. This is the worst of worse business experience I have experience in a long time.

I was not contacted via WhatsApp or through a phishing ****. It was Vodacom itself. A ******* will not send me a new S20+ and add 20gb data on my Vodacom contract. ******** will also not send me the tracking and delivery ref no of my new phone. I can even supply you with the Vodacom Track-your-order number. I feel that Vodacom took me for a ride with their consultants who are sales driven. Makes false promises and let people enter into contracts that Vodacom will never released them from because the calls are recorded but never listened to. I have requested in all my calls that Customer care, upgrades and retentions listen to the recordings. I am asking again. Can the person who will respond to my query please be one with manager authority. I am currently not very happy with Vodacom's customer service.
