I didn't subscribe to this service, fortunately I was only charged for a few days. Using code *135*997# and pressing 1 revealed that there were no active services, how is this possible? I blame Vodacom for this, I have been a Vodacom client for more than 20 years, but it seems like they are not taking as good care of the customer as i had hoped.
