Normally, when I escalate something, the guys will first get all the records and look at it in detail before they get back to you. This might take some time.
 
Slightly off topic, but I believe v3g has taken some hits in this thread:

I got myself a Data SIM on the 2nd of January. It couldn't connect after they said it was activated, so I logged two calls. A week later, it was still not working, logged another call. At wits end, I decided to speak to v3g ... he was in the US (on holiday nogal), and sent my request through to the correct people. Once that process was started, Vodacom was in contact with me every day, asking to test, seeing what's happening, etc etc. A week later it was sorted ... yeah, it took some time, but without v3g I probably would still be using my N95 as a modem.

So thanks v3g, you guys helped me alot!
 
no i dont blame v3g, i think he is very helpful and also to note that i have never had a problem with my 3g card for the last year and a half, im sure this must be a billing issue across the board as i have spoken to all of my friends and family whom have 3 cards and they all say they last bills where in the thousands
 
Over billing

I have the same problem. Same days, same duration/bytes all at 11:55:00 pm. Something is wrong with Vodacom's billing system.:mad:

Hi. I have the same issue. After being overcharged R20 000 for my December bill, I get the following on my January bill

December 17 11:55 86400
December 18 11:55 86400
December 19 11:55 86400

Ive given up asking for help, as every time I get the same response back "If you want more information you need to subpoena Vodacom"

- Data monitor provided is not accurate
- Reports on Vodacom website is inaccurate (If you can access the website)
- SMS's to alert you for data usage is not guaranteed, and does not work (haven't received any this month)
- Softblock is not guaranteed and does not work.

How are we suppose to control data usage?

Last resort is ICASA, not sure if that will help, but I have sent them a detailed description and details of the incident. I encourage other people with the same issue to do the same. Maybe if there are enough complaints, a audit will be done on the Vodacom billing system, or is this just wishful thinking?
 
yeah even on my itemised billing the 11:55pm thing and thereafter its charging like R5.31 every minute
 
My wifes bill for usage in December is all so a bit odd the same entries as on Bob2000 post.

I the time we had the card (last 6+ months) did go over the 500mb bundle, in December was 200+ mb over?
 
Those dates were the dates for which there were no billing records initially. These were added in the later bill run.

As explained somewhere above. some subs were not billed for data usage in December and that usage did not reflect in that month's bill.

The records were added into a later bill.
 
Over Billing

How can I be billed for extra usage when I am still in the middle of a 2gig contract?
When I monitor my usage daily and buy airtime to convert to a bundle if I am close to using up my 2gig. How can the 86400 on 9 different days reflect amounts from R137.87 to R4.27 on separate days. These were manual inputs and have not been allocated to the correct account. The last 2 weeks of December are my quietest days in the year.

i think we all are seeing this overbilling, vodacom should just scrap their dec jan billings

If you don't agree with hat they did, PM me all the details including your rationale, etc. I'll forward it on. Check my sig for what to include.
 
Below is a sms I received from Vodacom in respect of my overbilling query.
''All billing is correct.''
This is the type of reply I would expect from one of our govt depts or local govt, not a world class public company. EISH!!!!!!!!
Furthermore the Reports section of My Account at Vodacom4me is not available so I can't check any other of my accounts.

Dear Customer please be advised that due to technical problems we had delayed billing tickets in Dec and Jan that is why it is included on your Feb invoice, all billing is correct. we apologise for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards, Vodacom Customer Care (Thandi Gogo)

I agree,this is horrendously frustrating.
