Vodacom Insurance Ripoff!

I received an sms stating that you will be increasing my insurance premium on my cellphone by R23 extra a month! This is absolutely unacceptable. My cellphone is no longer worth its value (R10001 - R15000) as it is over 2 years old, and with any insurance principles on technology, why would it cost so much more to insure a device that is worth so much less!

There is no need to increase by so much, we are all suffering from lockdown and the downturn in economy!

You are making so much money already, why are you insistent on bleeding your customers dry for every cent that they have!

I want my premium reviewed and reduced, otherwise I will cancel my entire contract.

So now that I have cancelled my insurance and made alternative arrangements regarding my cellphone (stuck with Vodacom, much to my better judgment; I get a call today from someone offering me what I wanted in the first place. I mean, how much more *********** can you get @Vodacom ??? REALLY!!!!!!! And I had to wait for 7 hours on Monday before someone would answer the chat for help!
