On all phones: USSD (*135#)

If you aren’t in an internet-connected zone, you can still manage your account using Vodacom’s USSD service. Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) is a unique technology making it possible to request services by dialling a short sequence of characters on your phone, such as *135#. It’s fast and easy to use – once you dial, just follow the prompts.

In person: Vodacom Customer Care

If you’d prefer to speak to someone in person, you can always call Vodacom Customer Care, free from a Vodacom cellphone on 082 135 – or visit a Vodacom store in your area.

There are more than 2 000 Vodacom customer care representatives across the country. Their skills range from basic Prepaid support to a highly technical data help desk to deal with any questions or issues you’re having. 

You can get in touch with customer care agents on your cellphone by dialing 135, live chat at www.vodacom.co.za (Mon to Sun from 06:00 to 22:00), like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter @Vodacom. These services are available 365 days a year.

If you’re a Red customer, you can skip the tele-queues when calling Vodacom Customer Care and you’ll be assisted by the dedicated Red Crew.

*Please note, you can only upgrade online if:

  • You are the Master Account Holder of the number you are upgrading.
  • You are not a corporate customer.
  • Your account is held directly with Vodacom Service Provider (not a service provider like Autopage or Nashua etc)
