I was told it was a 2017 latest model excellent high speed and the sales consultant ****. It was a slow 2016 old model. The model was dropped off late Friday afternoon. I charged the unit overnight. The device was defective. The battery kept showing it was depleted and I could get no bars. After spending about no less than 20 hours on the phone from Saturday & Sunday and Monday & Tuesday. It is Thursday. Vodacom sent standard copy and paste response they will investigate and to date nothing. I am still waiting to fetch the device and cancel the contract which I cancelled Tuesday morning 1 August 2017.</p> <p> </p> <p>I spoke to Aftersales at Mondo and was informed I am in the cool off period after expressing my complaint. I cancelled and asked them to fetch the device Wednesday before 12:00 and to be sure NOT to charge my account or debit my account.
