Vodacom no customer service

I've been struggling with Vodacom to rectify my account from June 2021. Till date my handset is repeatedly blocked. On the 2nd of June I received an sms to inform me that my cellphone cover was canceled. I followed up by sending back an sms stating that it was not canceled. With no response I called vodacom customer care who in turn transferred me to the Insurance department. Calls kept dropping and I had no luck. I then drove to a Vodacom store only to be told they can't assist me. I proceeded to insure my phone with another company. Late in June I received an sms stating that it was sent out by mistake. I again tried to contact the insurance department with no joy. In August my phone was cut off and I was told that it's my fault and I will have to pay the insurance. I stated to them I am insured and don't wish to be double insured. There's nothing we can do is their only response. Vodacom has opened my account each time after a couple days of fighting but now refuse to do it again. I have managed to remove the insure from September month but my phone will now only be unlocked once the overdue insurance is paid. Take note that I pay my full contract each month without having the joy of using my phone. Vodacom says its the insurance company and the insurance company says its Vodacom. This while I can't use my phone for business. Are we really only a number to you?

Dear Vodacom,
When is due course? I have been waiting since June 2021? Still no call, email or any form of communication.

Another call to vodacom and another advisor that will get back to me. To date my phone is blocked. Services paid up to date. Still blocked as I am responsible for their mistake. Insurance department blames vodacom and vodacom blames the insurance department.
