At VodacomData:
I am having the exact same problem as described by cavedog. I was on Vodacom for years. My boyfriend advised me to transfer to Virgin Mobile but I was unimpressed so ported back to Vodacom on Monday.
Every time I called 100 to activate my account the call cut, I called customer care, they said they were having problems with their 100 number and would send through a manual request. Since then I keep having the same error with 100
"I'm sorry, your recharge account has been suspended". I have called customer care about 30 times in the past 2 days, as well as vodacom porting department which i was transferred to eventually. I have had sms's to say
"your suspension has been lifted" but when I call 100 it still has the same error of
"I'm sorry, your recharge account has been suspended".
All these calls where I get told the same things: "turn your phone off for 10 minutes then try again" or "have you tried dialing *100*01*...#?", "have you tried calling 100?" (yes of course I have- but it won't let me through), "we will have it sorted within the next 24 hours", "we have lifted the suspension" to no avail are
driving me nuts!
Pleeeeeeease help! I need my cell for work purposes too!
