*********** help line and network systems

I am on prepaid on cell c. I used to have a contract with them about 8 years ago before migrating to Vodacom. I have now ported back to Cell C and was on the 66c prepaid plan. Without asking me Cell C changed me to the all in one plan. I have tried on self service to change back. I get a message that it failed. I call your call centre and your prepaid department says they still see me on contract. Your contract department can't help because they say I can't tell them the last 4 digits of the credit card that expired 6 to 8 years ago. A week ago your prepaid department said they would esculate it for me as now its showing my number as permanently deactivated I have tried to post my number to a different network and I can't to do that because cell c won't release the number. I have never seen such incompetence in all my life!

Hi Kevin 

Thank you for contacting Cell C.

On Monday the 27th of September. I rep**** back to the message immediately to change it back. On the 7th of October I got a message saying it was changed back but it hasn't been.
It is also a problem that nobody can help me in your call center or self service options because your system still thinks I am a contract client or that my number has been deactivated. When I put my number in at the call center it says that my number doesn't exist on the Cell C network. I have to put another Cell C number in just to talk to someone who then still can't help me.

Exactly what I rep**** above. It says Your request to change to 66c is being processed. You will receive an SMS confirmation shortly.
I then receive an sms that says: We were unable to change your tariff.
