Specialist:Radio Maintenance,Port Elizabeth,Vodacom
Since its commercial launch in June 1994, Vodacom has been South Africa’s number one cellular network operator. Whether measured in terms of customer figures, network rollout or product innovation, Vodacom has achieved pole position more often than any South African mobile network.
Even before most people were aware of the coming cellular revolution, Vodacom attracted 50 000 subscribers in the first month of operations alone.
Today, we want South Africa’s best customer service to be the cherry on the top of our earlier achievements. Benchmarking Vodacom’s operations according to global standards set by our shareholder Vodafone Group will help us achieve this.
