Upgrade - sent incorrect SIM, no delivery of replacement

<p>On 25 May, I received my new phone as part of my upgrade. However, I was sent an incorrect SIM (the phone takes a nanoSIM, I was sent a microSIM). I immediately logged a support request to be sent a replacement SIM card (S3-GV13K-KFJUI). By the 28th May, I had received no communication (despite your department's promise to send a replacement SIM within 24-48 hours). I logged another support request (003S~SCR4). I was told the matter is under investigation. I've had no further communication.</p> <p>It's now a week later, and I can't use the upgrade because I STILL don't have the correct SIM. The upgrade was done online, so upgrades customer care says they can't help. When I try to call the Online department (082 178 44) the call is hung up immediately.</p> <p>Please would SOMEBODY fix your mistake!</p>

I FINALLY got through to the Online Upgrades department - apparently there is no record of a replacement SIM being requested on the 25th of May. I have been advised that it may take Vodacom 7-14 days to deliver a replacement SIM, so if I want it any sooner, I must go to a Vodacom shop, buy a new SIM, and then contact Vodacom to reimburse me. The level of service is APALLING. I have to run around because of Vodacom's mistake?!

Finally sorted!

A big thanks to Safiek Andrews, who couriered the SIM to me and organised a SIM swap, saving me from further hassle. Thanks also to Anita at Customer Care who called me frequently to apologise, even when no progress was being made and she had nothing good to tell me - thanks for being brave enough to make that call anyway.

So glad to finally be done with this upgrade!
