Terrible service - going in circles

I have a data only sim only deal which expires 3 March. on 25 Jan I was called and offered an upgrade to a SmartData 5GB TopUp deal at the same price I have been paying for last 2 years. I received a contract stating that the cost is R215 with a discount of R135, which brings me back to the R80 I was paying. I received the invoice for Feb stating that not only had the "new" contract begun on 25 Jan, but I had been charged for it at R215. I have called customer care to try to sort it out but have had no luck. It has been escalated more than once. I have had sms's stating that the issue has been resolved, but no-one has managed to resolve it. When I tried to cancel the contract I was told that I can't yet because a new deal has been agreed upon. The point it, I am going in circles. I've had to repeat the issue maybe 10 times now, and each time I am told it will be escalted and promises are made that someone will call me. The only call I have received since first contacting customer care was on Friday 12 Feb, and I was told that someone wouold contact me, so someone called to say that someone will call. Pathetic service.

Good day Kerryn 

Thank you for posting your review. 

It disappointing to learn the above and certainly not the standard of service we want for our customers.

 Apologies for the service you have received.

We'll escalate this matter for further assistance.

It's been escalated a few times already. So tired of having to repeat myself and being passed between the different departments

I have just received a call from someone who clearly had not even read the complaint I have. He proceeded to tell me that only the upgrades department, who I have spoken to before, can assist, and when he tried to put me through, I get cut off. This has happened each time someone tries to put me through to the upgrades department, forcing me to have to make another call. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE FROM THE CORRECT DEPARTMENT CALL ME?
