Vodacom sells Dual-SIM phones but block the 2nd SIM slot

Dealt with Oz from Vodacom Shop in the Pavilion - a very ********* sales person!

Less than 24hrs ago my girlfriend signed a contract to get the new Huawei P20 lite. This is a Dual-SIM phone, and we even discussed the Dual-SIM with Oz the sales agent. He FAILED to inform us that Vodacom has in fact locked the 2nd SIM slot so it is unusable!

I contacted him this morning, and straight off the bat he tells me "We don't advertise that it's a Dual-SIM phone" and that it cannot be rectified and the contract cannot be cancelled.

Fine, looking through your deals you don't advertise that this Dual-SIM phone, with 2 SIM slots, is in fact a Single-SIM phone - BUT you don't advertise or inform the client that it is a Single-SIM phone either!

This is such a let down, we want the 2nd SIM unlocked or the contract cancelled!

Nicci has just told me what was discussed. Basically you have told us to go back to the Vodacom store and beg the Manager - ***?! Not good enough, the reason I logged complaints is because the store was so unreasonable on the phone
