Insurance claim to still be paid out

I have put through a claim for a ****** phone on Jan 3, 2020 and paid the required excess amount. I have since communicated regarding my claim with different people without any success. I was told that my device is discontinued and was offered other devices which are below the value of my device and does not have the internal storage space I require. Which is strange because on your site there are deals offering the Samsung A30 64GB for contract. Thereafter going back and forth I requested that I just be refund the monetary value of my previous device so I could be put back in the same position. And of cos this was all in vain as i received no response expect to email my issue to their complaints department, which of cos has not come back to me with a response. I am being taken for a ride by Cell C, i have paid my premiums in full every month without any delay or excuse but when it comes to me receiving the service i have been paying for..SILENCE.. In your policy wording Im given a time span of a week to have my issues/claim resolved, but here I am. I will report this matter to the underwriter and if they cannot help me I will report this to the Ombudsman. Honestly I am very disappointed to have to be writing this in a situation where all could have been resolved. And by the way I better not be charged for I service I didn't receive come the date of my debit.

I received an email today at 14:14(SAST) from Terkisha- Cellc Device Insurance Claims <***>.
The email must have been copied and paste from the other emails because there is no different thing being said, feeling like I'm being patronized
So I will take it you not ready to solve my problem or you perhaps not able too.
I'm not sure for how long we are going to be dancing around the same issue.
Anyway I will take further steps to getting my money or device back
