Vodafone Live ********** charges and subscriptions

I was on the Vodacom site today to send one of those "quick SMS" messages and browse the available upgrade deals as my old phone has started giving up on me.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw that my "Bill so far" for December was about R200 more than my bill normally is. The last time my bill was higher, I had gone out of bundle on data, so this was strange as I have my WiFi on permanently while home which I was the whole December. Upon opening the "Bill so far" I immediately noticed the following line: Description Amount (excl. VAT) VAT(14%) Total Amount Vodafone Live R 184.17 R 25.78 R 209.95

This stands out to me because I never subscribed to ANYTHING on VLive or Vodafone Live. This is *****. The operator I spoke with was very helpful and canceled the ********** subscription, but he does not have the power to reverse these ********** charges. I see many people have the same issue with ********** VLive/Vodafone Live charges - it is time Vodacom stops this *****!

They probably try to sneak this through over December because they think people won't notice with all the festive season calls and messages.
