Misled on a tariff plan

I have been a cellc customer for more then 13 years I have referred friends and family to purchase various products. I am currently an online English teacher and because I am a long standing cell c customer I decided to purchase their 1 TB deal for R899. I purchased this on 17 October 2021 before purchasing this I had researched the price as well as what I would be receiving and for how long when I got to the store on the 17th before making the purchase I had spoken to the sales person who assured me that the deal was 1 TB for 60 days at R899 as listed on their catologue there were also promotion boards at the store with this deal before making a payment on this I once again enquired that this would last me for 2 months and again I was assured. After using the the Sim card for teaching from then on 17 November 2021 30 minutes before a lesson I wasn't able to connect to internet after calling cell c I was then told that the promotion on the 1TB for 60 days had ended and there was nothing that could be done I then requested a manager who also saw that no notifications where sent to me advising of the experation date or of the tariff change he advised he would have this escalated as I pleaded on this being sorted as this is my job and only form of income he advised I would be contacted on 18 November 2021 by 4pm which never happened ended up missing 3 lessons and NOW face penalties for this. I then contacted cell c again twice the customer service agent dropped the call on me after calling again I asked for a manager after re telling my story and providing the Ref number which cell c had smsd to me the manager karabo advised she can only see that I made contact with the manager senzo and that she could not see my case which I don't understand because I received a text with this Ref number she then said she is u certain why I was told I would be called on the 18th because the time frames are 48hrs again I put through my concern about my job which I could potentially loose only because I was misled she then said she will get senzo to call me I asked for a time frame was given none.It is now the 19 November and I have still not been contacted in any way to have this cleared up I would also like to. Mention that when my data expired I did advise all consultants my last balance as at the 16th was over 800 GB. I am absolutely disgusted at the lack of interest from cell c for their customer and for not even having the decency to assist me because I am in a huge crisis regarding whether I will have a job or not all because cell has ****** me and misled me just to receive a sale!!!

As from the 15/10/21 when you buy the bundle, you get a confirmation SMS of purchase which shows the validity.

Please can you look into my case *** you will be able to find the records as well as the voice recording confirmed by your management that no sms was sent to the number confirming this information at all I would like for this to be sorted immediately or I will be taking this further as your complaints department has still not responded to me which is completely unprofessional should I have gotten the sms or any other notification I wouldn't not be going through this tedious process I have been completely ****** and I am emcurring higher charges because you were neglegant
