Cecil - I sincerely hope that we will get a response sooner / than later from Vodacom.

They may not respond here. Take it up with them on Twitter as well - try tweet @vodacom

I am, as you, dependant on answers and feedback from Vodacom.

Vodacom latest 3G connectivity problems / concerns - Cecil van den Bergh

Request: There seems to be a reception problem at certain places along the N2 from Durban to Stanger. There are also reception problems around Durban.
in the past this was not so and it is now becoming a great frustration.
Is there any plan in place to remedy this as it has been going on for some time now and I am sure Vodacom should be aware of this.
please advise.

thank you

Cindy,

I share your frustration - but I suggest you drill deeper into the call centre / the Vodacom website for answers...

Let us know the answer / state of your frustration (in not getting an answer)

Good luck, Vernon Chalmers

Why am I a contract holder with Vodacom when I sign up for a top-up deal but now that they have reduced their data bundle prices I get told that this is only for contract holders and not for prepaid or top-up customers, kinda really confused

My Vodacom Night Owl 600 Meg data bundle is back in my account, but I am greeting this with a bit of skepticism for reasons stated as as seperate blog post: http://www.vernonchalmers.com/blog/entry/2060703/reappearance-of-my-vodacom-night-owl-600-meg-data-bundle

Chaps - thank you for your contribution, feedback (and recommendations) wrt this issue. I am pretty dissatisfied with Vodacom's online account management and staff feedback / communication of these issues.

I am sort of in email communication with Vodacom, but have my doubts of any substantial outcome (soon).

Regards,

Vernon Chalmers

That's just crazy. Try and contact Pieter Uys on Twitter - he's quite responsive - https://twitter.com/#!/uyspj

I also prefer pre-paid 3G data, (easy to purchase through www.flickswitch.co.za or online retailer like www.nivo.co.za) as you don't have out-of-bundle risk.

Good to see others complaining about this issue!

I lost ~500MB regular and 2GB+ night owl data which both expired _before_ the end of 31 Jul 2011. I checked my balances when I started the connection last night (about 9-10pm 31 Jul), and according to the Vodacom website, I had no data left. With the unreliable balance reports I just assumed it to be wrong, and continued surfing. In recent months, I used to get notifications that I've used most of my data bundle immediately after I've purchased a new bundle. Website balances are also often outdated. I've thus used these reports as an indication only, and generally mistrusted them.

The total downloaded data at the end of my connection last night was about 500MB, which I thought was the amount of data I should have had left at the start of my connection. I checked my data balances again this morning (via *111# and the website), and both indicate zero. I have also subsequently received an SMS notification that I have used all my data and that out-of-bundle rates apply. So at R2/MB, my August data account will thus be R1000 in addition to my monthly data bundle cost!

Poor customer service from Vodacom South Africa - Vernon Chalmers

Still a long road to walk for Vodacom. Just as I marvel in good service from some Vodacom, it disappear in other areas. Part of their corporate culture I suppose - thanks for sharing your Vodacom experience.
