Vodacom's shocking inability to resolve my simple issues with them. Part V.

Guys, whatever you do, STAY AWAY FROM VODACOM for your cellphone business ! The only reason why I am still with them is because I am locked in a contract.

This is the FIFTH Hellopeter posting (see my other postings under the same title for further background) that I had to make on this ongoing issue, which started in June 2018 with a ********** upgrade on my name. The ********** upgrade had subsequently been "reversed", but Vodacom can simply not finalised the issue. This can only be ascribed to gross incompetence, neglect and a serious lack of care for its customers. Bare with me for this emotional outburst, but I am at my whits with these issues ! I have experienced that I get quicker response of "care" from Vodacom when I approach them through Hellopeter. How sad is that !!!! In the latest turn of events, I can report that I was under the impression that the entire issue had finally been put to bed when an Executive Client Liaison Officer from Vodacom called me with a sincere apology for the poor service and comedy of errors that I had to content with over a lengthy period of time. She offered me a two month free subscription to compensate for the trauma caused by Vodacom. I wanted to finally walk away from all of this and accepted the offer. So, I have received the two months free subscription. However, I then noted on my latest Vodacom Tax Invoices for November 2018 and December 2018 that an additional handset has been added to my bill ONCE AGAIN ! This is probably the third time where this has happened, "resolved" by Vodacom, only to return to my bill the following month. What more do I have to do to get through to these people ????

Reviewer Update
Dear Vodacom Your following feedback refers: "Our records indicate that your issue is being attended to by the relevant department. Contact will be made with you as soon as feedback is available." This is exactly the reason why I have to make use of the Hellopeter platform. I've had numerous issues logged over the past six months. This often resulted in feedback, technicians at work, account "adjustments" .... you name it. Yet, nothing really gets sorted out !!!! How is it possible that, after my noteworthy history with Vodacom, they can AGAIN add an additional handset to my bill ? This is completely unacceptable. This is also the reason why I am seeking legal advice. I have no reason to trust Vodacom to finalize even this simple issue and I am seriously considering obtaining legal advice on how I could terminate my contract with Vodacom without penalties.
