Disappearing data and airtime

I have just recently signed up to cell C and so far its been not good

The phone used R150 of my airtime as data , which has never happened before . then i loaded on 200MB of data and it was gone in 20 minutes. I was not doing anything major on my phone.

iCloud back up is turned off , roaming is turned off. wifi assist is off .

i called the call center and the first agent , pretended there was line disturbance and cut the call ..

The 2nd time i called I was told I have to wait till the end of the month for a data report ... Which means that what ever the issue is it will only be resolved in 2 weeks time , can you imagine how much data I will have to load on to make it till the end of the month

This is leaving a very bad taste as I have just joined cell C , depsite their bad reputation is still did it ...

So I want an explanation for what the hell is going on here, because I have never had this issue before

Airtime and data do not disappear as there are causes such as content subscription services, out-of-bundle data rates can quickly deplete airtime, new smartphones, and faster networks mean data is used quicker etc.

We will get one of our consultants to assist and provide a data validation report.

I have never had this problem before with other service providers, this is the first time this has ever happened. My phone has never used my airtime as data and It has never used 200MB in 20 minutes for the purpose I was using it. Also the fact that 200 mb went in 20 minutes highlights this issue I see there have been other complaints regarding this: https://www.hellopeter.com/cell-c/reviews/data-disappearing-and-bad-costumer-care- ********** Also your dear consultant told me I have to wait till the end of the month for a data validation report, which is out of the question. I want this problem solved in less than 24 hours I have spent R200 in airtime/ data in today alone, its absolutely disgusting
