Vodacom is the ABSOUTE WORST...

Vodacom, you are the absolute WORST company to deal with. You deserve 0 stars, the 1 on this review flatters you.

TWO WEEKS of trying and I still have no ****** clue why I supposedly owe you for an mobile account that expired in 2015, and was mysteriously revived by Vodacom in 2016/04, with debits going of my SA account (I was working overseas since 2014 up to mid 2017) up to August 2016 and then somehow the debits stopped (even though there was plenty of money in my account to ***** for you, I’ve drawn the statements for you to verify) yet the outstanding amount accrued until I was handed over to debt collectors (without my knowledge) and listed as a defaulter (AGAIN without my knowledge). Yet Vodacom was able to contact me on another account LINKED to this one on email, but not on this issue…

I have called Vodacom Collections, Cancellation, Legal and Accounts several times over the last two weeks, put on hold, transferred, cut off (3 ****** times after being on the phone for more than 15 minutes!!!), left on hold for 18 minutes (I ended the call eventually because not coming back to me after being on hold for that long is just RIDICULOUS) and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING came from it. No one can tell me anything about this account other than the amount I supposedly owe (now over R2 200). Today I found out that the number was deleted by Vodacom in December 2017, and basically all associated records were trashed. So Vodacom says I owe them, but they can’t give me anything as to why.

Well done Vodacom, well done (sarcasm). I have been a customer since the 1990s, but you will never get another cent from me again. You managed to make Telkom look good…

Yeah, I am not holding my breath. I have spoken to more than 10 different people at Vodacom Accounts, Collections, Cancellations and Legal, and the only thing I learnt since finding out I was blacklisted without my knowledge is that the number was permanently deleted by Vodacom in December 2017... No one at Vodacom can tell me anything other than that. Today I was on the phone to Vodacom for 5 minutes when I was put on hold because the Vodacom representative wanted to speak to her supervisor. When the call reached 23 minutes I ended it, because it became clear she wasn't going to get back to me. This is your level of service.

Your reply is all promise and no delivery. All that happened was I received an SMS today saying "Your service ticket with reference number EC-1JBC-3NFJG8 has been closed. Thank you Vodacom". I don't even know about this ticket, but thank you for closing it, I guess?
