VODACOM contract with no benefits for almost 2 years.

In August 2021, I app**** for a Vodacom contract with clear instructions to keep my number. However, mu number was recorded incorrectly by their agents.

I took my phone in for repairs as it got damaged and found out that my number was not covered. That's when I discovered that the number was recorded incorrectly. They then allocated my number correctly because it was clear that the issue was a mistake from one of their agents. However, I have not been getting the contract benefits of the contract up until now. I've been calling and e-mailing and I have received promises, which, six months later, have not been fulfilled. I call, e-mail and I'm always told it has been escalated.

I'm very disappointed with their service and I cannot wait for my contract to lapse so I can leave their service. Being someone who has never had contracts in the past, this is a reminder why I had stayed away from such. South Africa needs to sort out the allocation of spectrum so that we do not have to use the communications companies. .

Hi. As mentioned before I'm a lecturer and the past month was exams. Now that I'm available no one at Vodacom is responding to my e-mails.

I was promised that I would receive assistance within 48 hours.

It’s been a week and I’m not anywhere closer to solving the problem two years later. I’m also not receiving any replies to my messages.

This is really ridiculous.

This has now become a public record for when I escalate this matter further. I have received zero help from Vodacom even after they promised to resolve this within 24 hours. It's now two weeks since the call feigning help.

Vodacom has disappeared again. My issue is still not solved.
