VODACOM SUCKS

We recently took the phone that we bought and insured about 2 years ago in for repairs. We were advised that the claim has been declined because they don't cover the phone System Error. We then asked for the insurance contract that we signed when we bought the phone but Vodacom was unable to produce it. They then told us that their insurance has changed from Cellsure to Vodasure and they cannot find paperwork that we signed when we initially took the contract. They then sent us the blank contract which didn't have our details and was not signed. Firstly they did not inform us that they are changing the insurance secondly they cannot find the paperwork that we sign. What is more disturbing is that Vodacom has been taking insurance premium every month for this cellphone but then they have an audacity to give us excuses when they are supposed to process an insurance claim. The fact that they cannot even find the paperwork that we signed is horrific. Why would I take insurance and pay for it every month if my needs will not be met when I need it most. I take insurance on all my phones because I want peace of mind should anything would happen on my phones. The fact that they have changed their insurers has nothing to do with me. As a client I should have been informed when the change happened and I should have been warned that there are things that they don't pay for. This is ridiculous. You take insurance because you want PEACE OF MIND

Reviewer Update
Vodacom STILL HAS NOT RESOLVED MY QUERY. The last time I heard from them was last week Monday, 18th April when one of the employees called me to tell me that the relevant department will call me to resolve the matter, first of all I don't understand why someone would call me about a call then no call comes through. THEN yesterday I receive a long overdue SMS advising me yesterday that they have changed insurance administrators - HOW CONVENIENT!!!!!!! 1. Why weren't we advised that the administrators have changed when they changed them which was a few months ago? 2. Where is the paperwork that I signed when I took this phone and insurance? 3. ARE YOU GOING TO DEDUCT INSURANCE PREMIUM THIS MONTH FOR THE PHONE THAT HASN'T BEEN WORKING FOR A MONTH? 4. THE QUERY HAS BEEN ESCALATED 4 TIMES AND NO ONE IS GETTING BACK TO US. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO RESOLVE THIS QUERY - THAT'S ALL I NEED TO KNOW!!!!
