Can't get more useless

I used to have a cellular contract with Autopage. Extremely poor service and ********* practise left me with no choice but to terminate the contract and move to pay-as-you-go as I wanted to keep my number. I recently purchased a new phone and needed to do a sim swop. I went to Vodacom who despite being willing to assist were unable to as the number is still allocated to Autopage. I went to Autopage Melrose Arch and they told me that they were unable to do a sim swop, and were so useless that they had to take me to Cellular City (Awesome service) to send an email to request that the number be made available. three days later this had not been done, and I phoned the Autopage call centre who after about 15 minutes of getting the runaround was told that this had in fact been done and I could return to Vodacom. I did so, guess what, still not released. I then went to Autopage Northgate, and exactly the same happened where they claimed that they were unable to help. Phoned the call centre again, told it had been done. Today I went to the Nicolway Autopage and was told to go somewhere else as they could not help me. What absolutely terrible service.
