Vodacom New Upgrade Rules

I did not have a bad experience with Vodacom. I just want to make everyone attend to the following: When you are now due for an upgrade with Vodacom, you can get your new device BUT you still have to pay off your old device until the end of the contract. In the past and still with MTN, when you are due for an upgrade, your old contract is immediately cancelled and your new contract starts in the following month like it was for the past 20 years. Be very very careful as you will be sitting with an old phone at the start of your new contract in 3 months. Rather wait until the end of your contract where you can then shop around with the other service providers for specials. According to Vodacom, these new rules only started about a year ago.
