After waiting more than six days for my number to be ported across from another provider to Vodafone, there is still 'No Service' on my newly purchased phone. Vodafone, quite deliberately, mislead their customers into believing they will receive a service within 24-48 hours from one phone provider to them. Well, their on-sellers say advise that it will take "24-48 hours" for the number to be ported across to Vodafone. This service is disgraceful and misleading at best. Browsing Google and the forums within Vodafone, and referencing many customers over the many months within those forums Googled, suggests that this phenomenon isn't abnormal but quite common. So, despite Vodafone knowing that they have significant issues in porting numbers across they deliberately and willingly tell their on-sellers that "24-48 hours" a number will be ported across. It should only take a few hours at best, yet for many, many months this hasn't been the case. Vodafone's disgraceful act in misleading customers (including myself) is mind-blowing. I am also now expected to pay from the "service" being delivered from the moment I signed the contract on my new phone, yet I still haven't had any service. It is pitiful. "Power to you"? I don't think so. Such a seemingly easy task in porting a phone appears to be more complex than Einstein's theory of relativity over a Vodafone. My main issue is that I haven't even technically began using their service yet somehow have managed to be dragged into the mire in a black hole-type vacuum that sucks - well, it just sucks. Nothing else. I'm not a religious man but I pray to God (which ever your religion is) that by some divine intervention someone out there realises that this basic service in porting numbers across at the requested time must dramatically improve sooner rather than later in order for Vodafone to keep customers. I have no idea whether I should quit Vodafone or stay the course.
