I purchased a new cellphone with vodacom& they advised me to get insurance for it and get it covered. I have been paying for the insurance up to date and have not missed a payment since the purchase. The cellphone got stolen and I tried to make a claim - the financial company that administers Insurance claims for Vodacom refuses to approve the insirance cover because they say that the contracty sim card that I purchased the phone with was not being used at the time of the theft. Nobody from Vodacom explained to me that I could not use... read full review »

On the 27th of August 2009 I solicited the help of Global Visas Cape Town, South Africa.

Sony playstation Portable
SSDD August 9, 2010
Whilst playing, I'm asked if I want to quit without hitting the home- or power button, regularly during the game. No one has an answer. If I knew the PSP would give me so much headache I wouldn't have bought it. Why does Sony release a product that isn't fully operational? ?? It only happens with "bigger" games such as God of War: chains of Olympus; Dante's Inferno, Tekken Dark Ressurrection. I hope Sony has come up with a solution or a working version that could be installed that will solve this annoying issue. I... read full review »

On the 05/08/2010 I boarded a bus which looked full as 10 passengers were standing. I later heard a driver talking to someone that he did not know what we were afraid of as there were lots of seats at the back, only thing is the wild, rude group of adults misbehaving. I then decided to check and I did find a sit just within them. I found a group of 7 scattered all over 16 sits, deliberately making it impossible for anybody needing a sit to use it. They screamed, commenting about my courage to sit, and testing my limits to actually see if I... read full review »

Don't believe anything about what they said, especially don't buy anything with your credit card on their website. All what they say and sell are rubbish. Last month, I went their website, and paid about 4 US dollars to review about their so-called start kit. All are nothing but rubbish and empty talk. Then, I left. When I received my bank statement this month, I found they charged me another 59.95 US dollars without my authorisation or notice me first. When I ask them, nobody give me any clear answer about this. I am really frustrated by this. So, my friends, please remember my lesson and my warnings. regards Jon read full review »
