Vodacom wasting money and airtime over cellphone contract cancellations. Never taking a cellphone contract again if one goes through such hassle

So my 24 month contract with vodacom ran out. When I call countless times, I never even get a second to speak with a consultant but instead my airtime and money is getting wasted.

Okay so I decide to take the black and white approach and email them. When I email I’m asked to provide stuff pertaining to my account. I provide such stuff then I’m told a consultant will be in contact with me after 24 hours. The “consultant” has never been in contact. I want to cancel my contract why is that so hard? I want to use the money that I was paying for a WiFi deal. I thought I was going to get that wifi contract at vodacom but what is happening with regards to cancellation make me think twice.

Why can’t we cancel at branches if a person is gong to spend tons of minutes on the call and end up not being even helped.

So I called vodacom yesterday on *** and finally got hold of a consultant. I told the consultant I wanted to cancel the contract as the term has ended and no longer want the benefits. The consultant then told me that if I cancel my contract altogether,then the number I am using will be suspended. How is my number going to be suspended? The contract was for the phone and I paid it until then end why am I now being abused just for wanting to cancel the contract. I DO NOT WANT THE BENEFITS, I WANT TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT AND KEEP MY NUMBER THATS ALL.

If you are failing to resolve this please let me know so that I find other ways of escalating the matter.
