Sorry made an erorr in speling on heading.

I know I know , I have vented about VC for years and I should never have taken out a few lines that I did, now I know why I left them in the first place.
Anyway, here is what happened, one of the lines ended in April, so in feb, I told them via call that I wanted to cancel my line. Eventually after 40 minutes on the phone I managed to get it cancelled giving them enough time to do so, it took so bloody long becasue VC cancellations are actually their sales department, for 40 odd mniutes this lady tried every trick in the book to upsel me.
Eventually I just agreed to get off the phone. I then sent an e mail to them telling them I dont want any services, cancel the line, I dont need to keep it alive.
No reply.

So I called in 2 days ago and discovered that they had left on some idiotic product for R28 per month.
It isnt about the money its about telling them to cancel and they didnt do it.
So again, called their cancellation dept. This guy tried again for probably 30 minutes to upsell me, its acutally ridiculous how they refuse to cancel a line.
I had to basically tell this guy, listen I dont have all day to sit on the phone, Cancel the bloody line or put me through to your supervisor or someone else who can. He still tried to make me accept some stupid bloody product the eep the line alove and get discount on other products.
I just kept quiet after telling him to tell me when its done I am not listening.
Has anyone else gone through this with Vodacom?
Its ridiculous, and you cannot e mail anyone, nobody eplies.
 
Yes, told the guy I'm cancelling for a reason, I don't want some other product
 
but they dont take no for an answer, do these guy get incentives to make you stay? He literally offered me anything I wanted
They do yes, but I told him no simple as that. Line has been cancelled

Same , was sitting in a vodacom store on loadspeaker trying to cancel elderly guy stupid data contract.

They just keep telling me why I need a contract to keep the number. Was ridiculous
 
MTN tried that bull with me and I got real nasty with the lady on the phone.

Told her it's simple. Stop the contract and put it on pay-as-you-go - don't bullshit me.
 
You know whats amazing?
Not 1 reply to my complaints on e mail from this company, not 1.
But I short paid my account this month, you can bet Vodacom have called me 15 times a day and mailed me non stop.
Now I know why I hated this company, serves me bloody right
 
Again, cancelling another contract, exact same bloody sh!it from them.
Someone should report these guys to ICASA - is it so difficult to cancel a bloody contract and listen to the customer?
You basically have to tell them to stop talking - I dont want to migrate - cancel the bloody contract!!!!
This time I recorded the call.
I wonder if these agents get commision on this.
In the end I said do an early cancellation because they refused to cancel it on the system.
I swear these ganets get commisions on making you do some kind of retention
