Vodacom are ****** and their staff worse and lazier than Home affairs

I have been a Vodacom customer since the inception of cell phones in SA. That is a long time....My contract was due to expire 30/11/2020 and I was contacted by the upgrade department which I declined and proceeded to cancel my contract. With Covid and salaries that were cut and jobs becoming redundant it was my decision to not be bound by a contract that could bite me later. I got this call end Oct and cancelled meaning end Nov Im good. I received an account with line charges for Dec which I paid. January I received nothing so my contract has eventually been cancelled. Feb I suddenly received an account with two months arears charge of R1035. I tried all avenues, spent a whole day on the phone enquiring why it was not cancelled and all I got was we do not see any cancellation and if you do not pay R1035 we cannot cancel and you will be charged even though I do nit have the services. I had people sounding like they were asleep and cut off after holding on for ages...people sighing because they had to answer a call only to cut me off again and no-one would put me through to a manager...I had to deal with lazy *********** staff at Vodacom . One lazy helped a bit to get me through to cancelations. She even phoned me back to get me through...her name was Prudence Selebogo( what a star) but the joy was short lived a Nicolene dropped the phone on me again. Are there managers at Vodacom???? if so they are as scarce as the vaccine . Vodacom your service sucks and you should be ashamed. After paying I got a reference number and about 2 hours later a message saying I am in arrears. I want my money back..

Now I get a response. The only time a consultant must contact me is to ask for my banking details to refund my money otherwise they will sound like the rest of call centre and cancellation staff ....no savvy and rigid...strictly memorised answers. I want a manager to sort this out not a consultant.

So, here I am just as frustrated as before. Vodacom has refunded me a portion of my money, but still left the charges for March subscription on. This is not my issue, as I am soooo lucky to have received something however Marchs should also be credited. During this whole frustrating process they have blocked my data number ***which is my 10 gig contract that ends in October. I cannot wait. I am honouring that contract by paying for a service that they have suspended, However I am paying the R200 since Dec with no data available. I also received a sms informing me that they have blocked this number and that I must contact them. Telephonically it is impossible. Now on My April account is the Deduction for the data number ***even though they have blocked it.

Vodacom...are you not embarrassed by your staffs work ethics????? You are a joke. If there is a vacancy for Customer Service manager, I will make myself available to help you save face.
