Trying to upgrade a contract

According to the press this company is battling to survive but you would not think so. I went online to try to upgrade a contract - had to leave a call me backmessage as it cannot be done online. Got a call from an unknown number - when answered I got music playing. Waited nothing - disconnected - they called back same thing. The third time they called I hung un because I saw the number was 084 which I assumed was cell c. When someone eventually answered I spoke and they cut me off. I then tries to call 084143 - they give a big story about covid-19 and their hours - you take appropriate options and get told you are called after hours? I called 084143 angain took different options and finally got an agent who validated my upgrade request and said someone would call with in 24 hours. I get another call from 084145 same music - I wait - when someone comes on I say you have just contacted me what information do you want - cut off again. I logged another call on the internet - no response - so 4 attenpts to upgrade and no one wants my call.

Fix your answereing service. Don't play music when you call - say this is cell c calling you back please hold while we connect you to an agent.

Usless service.

Reviewer Update
Thanks - I was contacted and have renewed the contract - staff need traning - it should not be necessary to have to report to Hello Peter - I asked the caller to sort out the Cell C answering service as it is incorrect and also when you call a customer don't play music but tell them its "Cell C calling - please hold while you are connected to an agent". Also tell the people calling not to put the phone down so quickly but say something and listen.

The answering service explains your new operating hours M-F 8-17 - you go through the various options only to be told you have called after hours good bye.
