Call it downgrade as there is no upgrade by Cell C.

Well again upgrade time and all I get is sorry.

I upgraded my one number and I was told it only qualify for R410. So that I do not have a problem as my wife is using that number and don't use as many minutes and data.

Now I am looking to do mine and I only get R460.....???? I am paying more than R1000 currently, but they can't assist me with an increase.

This is now the second time that when it comes to upgrading my phones, I am being downgraded on what Cell C gives you.

More than 8 years being a loyal customer and paying my account. This just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The consultants are very nice and assist where they can but ultimately being told what they are willing to give you for a contract is ridiculous, especially when I know for a fact that what I am paying now is more than that. Why was this not a problem 2 years ago. They called and assisted and done.

I must also add that the total amount is not exceeding the amount that I am currently paying now.

Maybe it's just time to call it and move on to companies who wants to assist.
