Useless app, terrible service

Once again Vodacom manages to impress with their supreme inefficiency. The Vodapay app offers the option to swop to an eSIM. They immediately take the R25 from your account, but then tell you it was unsuccessful and to phone customer care. The customer care agent’s only advice of course is “go to a store”. Why have an app, and a service, if it doesn’t work at all? Useless all around. You think people have nothing better to do in a weekend than sit around in your store for hours, desperately hoping for someone competent enough to deal with the simple matter of a sim swop.

Reviewer Update
Your agent has responded to say they can only refund me by means of airtime on my number. That is complete ******* and it contravenes the CPA. You were unable to deliver the service for which I paid, and you are therefore liable for a refund in the same manner that payment was made.

I will not accept airtime instead of a refund.
