Useless, good-for-nothing, worst company in SA!

I am very upset, disappointed & frustrated with Vodacom. I am at wits end & the only thing to do is jump ship & join another service provider. 1. My wife bought a new phone on contract & although the website states FREE SIM & CONNECTION, she did not receive a SIM card (which we had to purchase of R60) & she was charged the connection fee of R85. This is clearly a misrepresentation. 2. I have done an upgrade on my existing contract & after waiting just short of 3 weeks for the phone I wanted (due to no stock or every other phone I wanted had a different price on the website compared to what the call centre agents advised), I also did not get a SIM card & I received the incorrect phone cover. I mean who packages a phone & a completely different phone cover, couldn't the person read & see there was a problem??? Now I cannot get the cover I wanted from Vodacom 4U Fourways Mall or Clearwater Mall as either there isn't any stock or the store does not agree with the call centre in that I can make an exchange & I have to return the phone together with the cover for a change in cover, if they even have it which means I'll be waiting for weeks just to get a new cover & not have a phone!!! This is just useless from a company that calls themselves the best in SA... The best at B.S. if you ask me!!!

It has been a week since I've received communication that I would be contacted by Vodacom, but no one has called me. I am still within my right to cancel this contract & return my phone & I think that's what I am going to do. I've been far to good a customer of Vodacom for far too long to be treated in this manner. I shall take my business & money elsewhere!

Reviewer Update
I now believe that Vodacom is not the company they used to be & they are not who they say they are - they are the best at conning customers to join or stay with the network & hide behind the T's & C's the entrap us. In my previous review I complained about the incorrect prices that the online agents wanted me to pay as opposed to the price that was advertised online. With that said, I was then offered 1GB free for 24 months as I renewed my contract. Now the 1GB was taken away from me. Secondly, I am now charged for 2 handsets (R160 - old & R129 - new). How is this possible when my contract came to an end & I therefore renewed it to receive my new cell phone? As far as my contract is concerned, I should only be paying R129 for a handset. Thirdly, if I had a copy of my contract then I could take this matter to my lawyers, but unfortunately I do not & I am gatvol with chasing Vodacom to sort out the **** they've caused.
