Vodacom Contracts Pathetic Service

Worse possible service you can get. I took a contract from vodacom for a new laptop which was advertised to come with the Microsoft office 366 personal. The laptop arrives without the licence. I notify vodacom the next business day about this. One week as gone and it’s a game of cat and mouse. Apparently the department is not contactable as they are back office so the only number you can call is the call centre who keep giving you the same answer. This is absolutely shocking. Even after specking to managers a week later they are requesting pictures of the packaging. I feel there is no accountability. There is a give a **** attitude with the Customer service agents. It’s like they can’t help you they will refer to back office. The licence was definitely not in the packaging so the right thing to do is get me an office 365 and sort this problem out. But apparently it does not work like this. Everyone is looking to push the blame to the next department. Worse experience ever had in my life, I totally regret taking out this contract.

So receive a call from a guy named Mahali from vodacom social media due to me posting this on hello peter.
The same old story of escalation persists with no accountability.
I still don’t have my licence apparently it’s escalated again.

I just can’t believe vodacom.There is absolutely no regard for me as a client sitting with laptop that cannot be used. It seems like internal politics among them and their sub contractors etc has become my problem as a client.

Vodacom eventually sorted my issue out today 3 October 24.
Took a really long time but eventually they did provide my Microsoft license today
