What kind stupid do they employ at Vodacom. It is so bad it is laughable. I bought an eSim for my iPad Air and had it activated at home from a QR code I received in store. At the store where I boight the eSim they explained that to get the phone number after activation I will need to contact customer care and provide them with the number on the qr code document used to activate the eSim. I then reached out to customer care via social media and I was subjected to the most unprepared and dumb experience. The representative kept insisting that I should authenticate myself to the.m by providing them with the details of when I last recharged the number. I repeated several times that the number is new and has never been recharged as I don’t even know the number l since it was activated in an iPad which does not receive sms. This robot of a person would not get past this verification insisting in information I could not have if I don’t know the number. What kind of abuse is this to your customers.

Hello, I am currently in the USA and return on 18 October 2025. I unfortunately could not activate roaming on my new eSIM since your service agents declined to confirm what the number on the eSIM is and vodaApp needs the number to activate roaming
