Useless and don't care.

I've been with Vodacom for 15+ years. I got bombarded with 3-5 calls per day until I finally answered. The sales agent tried to convince me to upgrade my account. I kept saying I wasn't interested and eventually I said just do it. Upgrade through none of my phones work. Went to the Vodacom shop, the agent says to me that they are not allowed to upgrade a phone account to a Home Internet, because that only works on routers.

So she request an upgrade reversal. Vodacom's response is that they reverse the upgrade, but my service will only be connected on 1 June 2024. So they expect me to sit without a phone for a month.

I've been back to the Vodacom shop every second day to get feedback, because I can't even call 135 from my phone.

This is my home phone and my business phone. No one can call me and I can't call anyone and I don't have a landline.

If only the rest of their service was as "aggressive" as their sales agents.

Well, Vodacom can ONLY contact me via Whatsapp or email, because I cannot receive calls... Remember that Vodacom approved both my accounts being "upgraded" from phone accounts to Home Internet accounts.

That is still unacceptable! Both these numbers are the ONLY phones we have. They serve as our personal phones and business phones. So for this month our phones are on home internet (not able to make or receive calls). You’re basically saying: “don’t worry, you’ll be able to phone again next month.”

NO. this is YOUR F*** up and now I am punished for YOUR flop.

Not acceptable.
