WHAT IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH VODACOM?
<p>It's difficult for me to pick one star as they deserve 0. </p> <p>1. Firstly, I had to struggle for about 6 months to transfer my contract from my ex's name onto mine. We both had to go in and sign on 2 separate occasions as our paperwork was lost! Then they did it incorrectly as well and we again had to sort out queries.</p> <p>2. Then they deducted more money on my debitorder than they should have on 1 November 2016. I called to rectify this and received an SMS stating that I would be refunded in 7-14 days. Still nothing. When I called again and again no progress was made. I have now called more than 15 times and spoken to numerous departments. On one occasion the calls were more than an hour. So I have now wasted approximately 10 hours of my life just to get the refund that I am entitled to. Weird, seeing as I pay every month and if I should not pay they would immediately take steps. But I have to wait 3 months for a refund which should have been paid in November already.</p> <p>3. We usually received SMS's that our data was only 4MB left. This has been discontinued and I used R300's airtime in one day due to their failure to send the low data SMS's. When I called about this I was informed that it is not just me and everyone is not receiving SMS's due to a technical problem. This has now been about 4 weeks and multiple data bundles and airtime used as a result thereof. </p> <p>I have been a loyal customer for more than 10 years and always spoke fondly of vodacom. I am extremely disappointed and now cannot wait for my contract to end so that I can switch service providers. I have never received such terrible service in my life.</p>

Dear Client
I would like to apologise for the service received and all the inconvenience caused. The credit for the double subscription charge was credited and will reflect in the Vodacom account reducing the balance.
. To receive the data bundle notifications at an alternate cell number, you may send the following SMS from the SIM card of your data contract: “ALTNUM 0*********” (i.e. the cell number you want to send the data bundle notifications to) to 123. Please wait for the corresponding SMS which will confirm that the notifications to the alternate number were successfully activated.
I have also loaded R300 airtime and 1GB data on your number as a gesture of goodwill. You can go to your PlayStore settings to change the way installed apps are updated. To save data costs turn off Auto-Sync (Google Account) as well as Backup and Reset feature in Settings menu. To close background activity, hold the HOME button down. To see which apps used your data, go to Settings - Data Usage (change usage cycle to display a specific day).
