VODACOM IS THE BIGGEST *****

I got into a vodacom contract for data for 24 months. they've been billing me a larger amount. they call me this morning to tell me they increased the data prices and hence i have a larger amount. no wait first they said they think it is VAT. Apparently it is in their policy that they can increase the amount as they wish. I mean is this even lawful- we agree on a set amount for 24 months then vodacom decides as it pleases to increase the amount? This is madness. I have set myself to pay that amount for 24 months, i chose it knowing that i can manage it! I am so shocked. This means even when we get into the agreement, they are purposefully planning to rob you- giving you an amount less than what they intend to charge you, it has not even been 3 months. This is wrong in so many ways. With the new laws i thought these networks will no longer be robbing us when it comes to data. i am appalled!

Vodacom deserves to be given a negative star rating! even Zero is too much.

Hi, I was debited the increased amount in March as well. So I’m not sure how the contract price app**** before it was passed in April as you say. Also not sure why variations in your data prices affect fixed contract terms, what’s the point then if having a fixed contract with an agreed amount if it will keep varying as you see fit? I did not sign up for this deal that you guys have decided on
