Vodacom - Communication Co that Can't Communicate

We app**** for an I-phone 12 mini on the 30 September 2021, which was approved. By the 4th October we had received confirmation of application and request for banking details, to which I also received notification from my bank that the debit order request had been received by them. Thereafter I received calls from Vodacom that 1. The colour range chosen was not available - this went back and forth, each time having to choose a different colour. 2. After the back and forth being told they did not have the 64gig in stock, so I had to choose a 128gig. 3. Being told that they couldn't fulfill my order as they no longer stocked the I-phone 12mini (this after I was told that they would send the I-phone 12 mini 128gig within 3 -5 days, as it was definitely in stock) I had a 2nd agent call me as the one confirming this order obviously did not want to tell me this 4. On the 11th October 2021, after being advised that they will no longer stock the I-phone 12's as they were advised to sell I-phone 13's, I chose an I-phone 13 mini blue. I asked them to keep me updated, as this is a phone required for my work purposes. I was told that there stock should be here by month end, and have not had a message or email from them. Or a call between the times that I had given them (12:30 - 13:30) or after 4pm. I am still waiting the outcome over a month and a half later, today is the 17th November 2021

Hi Vodacom,

Beside a standard response you gave, I actually asked a question yesterday that I would like a response on.
