The Cancellation Friction Index

Vodacom South Africa requires customers to cancel by calling 082 1958 (or 0821904 for fibre), emailing [email protected] for premature cancellations, or visiting a walk-in store, no online self-service cancellation is available for contracts. A 30-calendar day (or 20 business days written) notice is required; early termination before the contract end date (24/36/48-month terms) incurs a premature cancellation charge covering one month's subscription, unbilled usage, and any outstanding hardware/subsidy balance. Unused bundled minutes or airtime are forfeited at termination with no refund; a cancellation quote is valid 14 days. No pause or freeze option is offered.

Evidence

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights, scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
