VODACOM = NO CLIENT SERVICE

VODACOM = NO SERVICE. I tried now for two weeks to contact Vodacom in order to cancel my Data Contract due to no/poor reception. No internet and slow or no lock on. The situation is getting worse as load shedding increases! I renewed my contract in December but lost data due to download time and speed. Vodacom tried everything, which I appreciate, to boost the signal but to no avail. Vodacom then suggest that I increase my data in order to increase successful down load time. This was done but the problem was not solved! To download a WhatsApp I must walk outside of my house and it takes minutes to down load as well as poor and breaking up WhatsApp phone calls. After days of battling to get through to Vodacom due to high volumes of phone calls (Complaints??) I got through and was past on from one helper to the other for two weeks now and eventually got a reference number to cancel my contract without been penalized but were cut off! I since try telephonic contact but it is impossible to get through. I then complained to customer care many times and ID, Bank and date of debit order were requested and supp**** by me. I complained again and again to Vodacom Customer care, but they refuse to answer me and choose to ignore me! I emailed you and Vodacom yesterday and warned that I will write to Hello Peter if they do not answer me , which Vodacom did not do and is still not answering or phone back as promised. I was promised on 20/8/22 that my contract would end on 22/8/22. Still no confirmation! In the process of cancelling I was offered a new cell phone contract which I will receive on 22/8/22. That did not happen either and was delivered 23/8/22, without a phone charger, so I cannot use the phone or contract either!! (EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!!!!??????)

The reply from Vodacom is unacceptable! "Will contact you in due course" This can be in 10 years time??? I have been waiting for two weeks and been sent from the one person to the other and no one could solve my problem. Meantime I am battling with Wi - Fi and reception 98% of the time!! No internet, no Wi-Fi calls or messages calls can be made. Same with a new cell phone contract which can not be used! R200.00 to transfer data from old phone to new one without a charger!! Vodacom is getting worse by the day!! MTN solved my problems without any extra charges!! If my problems are not solved within the next two working days I will cancel all my Vodacom contracts and Vodacom can take me to Court so that I can explain myself to the Judge!

I send Vodacom a reply on their reply and had no response to date! Even Vodacom Customer care do not reply to my emails. This leave me with no other alternative but to close all my Vodacom plus Business accounts if they do not react within 24 hours!!
