Vodacom useless yet again

So I went to Vodacom Pavillion today to take a new data contract. After waiting over an hour in the queue, I was finally called up to the consultant to assist me. He had punched my details on the system and found that I had previously taken a contract with vodacom which was expired and paid up. He however advised me that the status of my profile is Active meaning that I currently still have an active contract with Vodacom which I know nothing of. He also didn't pick up that there were any active contracts on my name and said that this is a system issue that occurs. To get this resolved and take the new contract, I will have to call the Vodacom call center and report this to them who will refer me to the correct division. I advised him that I had this same issue a few months ago when I wanted to perform a Sim swap and the call center did the change and my sim swap was successful. He advised that there's nothing he can do until the status of my profile is changed again. Apparently the division that can assist do not operate over the weekend and I will have to call them tomorrow. I waited in the queue to take the contract for over an hour just to be told this which is absolutely unacceptable from my point of view as the customer. How am I as the customer supposed to know that my profile hasn't changed on the Vodacom system which I have no sight of? I work in the IT Retail Space and know how systems and customer service is supposed to work and this is absolutely disgusting customer service.. If I want to take this contract, I must phone this division to sort my profile status out and then go back to the store, wait for over an hour again in the queue and will probably get some other excuse as to why I can't take the contract. Vodacom seriously need to review their system and implement a monitoring tool to eliminate these issues.

I am still awaiting a call from a consultant... Have called the call center and was advised by Promise that her Manager Lerato will call me back shortly. Been over 4 hours and still no call back. Disgusted by Vodacoms Customer Care

So finally, the guy from Vodacom called me advising me that my contract has been finalized and approved and I should come to the store and sign and collect. The contract I wanted was the Black Friday Deal which was 20gig day and 20 gig with the Huawei Wifi Modem for R199 per month. When I got to the store today, the guy told me that I can't get the modem cause that deal is over. I was angry because I'm now losing out because of vodacoms incompetence. I am paying the R199 for the data but not receiving the modem that I supposed to get. Why must I as the customer lose out because of you'll mess up? I expect a manager from Vodacom to call me cause Im not willing to let this go.. I will take this up further if I don't get a call
