155 from a non vodacom cell

[zanzibarwinds]

Ok

I am getting desperate to try get some form of support from Vodacom and have decided I will attempt to call 155.

Problem is my current cell phone is Cell-C and dialling 155 basically tells me to "piss off", is there a normal number I can phone to get support please?

Poor service - It should at least say "Please Piss Off thank you for calling"

The reason why his Cell C sim is telling him to take a hike when calling 155 is because 155 is a "internal" Vodacom number. If you dialing from Cell C or any other network than Vodacom, then your network dont know where to route the call as the number does not exist as 155 outside of Vodacom. You have to dial 082155 to tell your network that the call must be routed to Vodacom.

What seems to be the problem?

Were they unhelpful or did they tell you something that you didn't want to hear?
