Vodacom Runaway Data Billing

<p>My account bill with Vodacom has been about the same amount month after month and then all of a suden it goes up by R6000 extra and when I qurey it they say I used R6000 of data. This is clearly a big mistake as I would never use R6000 of data in one month.</p> <p>I logged a complaint with Vodacom and they said they would investigate the problem and get back to me. I aslo paid my account the normal amount I pay every month as I dont have R6000 lying around. Then Vodacom blocked my outgoing calls and after phoning them they say this is standard practice and they cant up my phones back on.</p> <p>I have heard of may poeple been over billed with huge data usage out of the blue and Vodacom do nothing to help with these problems and just expect everyone to pay these crazy amounts. </p>

Reviewer Update

Someone from Vodacom came back to me and after a few emails back and forth they credited my account for the overbilling on the data portion on my account. Thanks Vodacom for recognising the problem.
Please change the way you charge for data after bundles have completed . Many people have this problem and I have heard of account running into tens of thousands due to runaway data bills.
