VODACOM you useless when porting over from MTN, no help.

Good day, If you are thinking of moving (porting) over to Vodacom rather don't. I will explain my experience.

I ported over from Mtn to Vodacom on the 31st of October 2024 and right now right from the start I cannot receive ANY Mtn calls. Now you can imagine having the same number for over 30 years and using it as a Business line and now after all these years I'm having this issue.

So NUMEROUS calls to Vodacom business and lots of reference numbers it's still not working. I have gone to Vodacom to even do a sim swap to no avail. It's the 14th of November and none of my Mtn number customers can get a hold of me. I have lost out on business due to my customers not being able to contact me. I cant forward my line to another number with the hopes of receiving calls. I'm stuck and completely Irritated with the amount of incompetence at Vodacom. Now Vodacom is saying that I must call MTN because the problem is on their side which is not possible due to joining Vodacom with a working MTN Pay as you go line. I asked Vodacom to please reverse my porting so that I can at least have a working line again but they are refusing and still not getting my line to work so what must I do now.

So If you don't want to go through the same issues stay far away from Vodacom.

Someone from Vodacom called me Yesterday but since then no other call received and STILL I cannot receive any MTN calls. VERY AGGRAVATING...

Finally my number works again, thank you to Furgie (hope I spelled it right) for getting back to me and confirming that after 21days my line finally works like it should. Hopefully Vodacom also learnt from this issue so that the next person won't have to suffer so long.
