cellc lists my number as deactivated which is on another network

I tried to port my number *** from telkom to cellc and failed. When I called the call centre they told me that the number was permanently deactivated. Therein lies the problem. I left cellc via a porting process but they registered it on their system as deactivation. It means cellc can recycle my number again and assign it to another person whereas it is very much active on the telkom network and it is my main number! Who does that? Who ever wants to join cellc please think twice. This horror is happening to me precisely because I once ported my number to cellc and then left cellc again for another network through a porting process. Cellc please fix this problem. Do not list my number as deactivated. Delete it from your system to prevent you recycling it. Will gladly use this hellopeter review as evidence in any litigation against you should the need arise. I am writing this review with data from the same number *** from the Telkom network. How is it deactivated?
