Upgraded contract but still billed incorrectly

I have received a statement for March 2023 for more than double the amount I normally pay. I called Cell C (084135) on the 7th March and spoke Azilwe to query the statement. Azilwe had advised that she was not able to access the statement and advised that she will get her Team leader to call me. I still have not received a call, I called back today (9th March) and on the voice prompts, I was advised that I was due for an upgrade. I went through to the Upgrade department and spoke to Rhulani who assisted with the upgrade but was advised to call back to log a query on my charge. I then spoke to Hlengiwe who explained that because I received the benefits for March, I will then be charged the ridiculous amount (R693 when my initial contract was R249) as I was not in contract (even though I just Upgraded). Hlengiwe has advised that she will ask her Team leader to give me a call which I doubt will happen as I was still waiting for a call from Azilwe's team leader from the 7th March. This message was forwarded to Cell C on the 9th March but of course I did not receive a call or a response. Please assist, surely there is a way to waiver the fee as I have upgraded my contract.

Kamogelo attempted to contact me on the 15th March but I was not available, Kamogelo then sent me an unprofessional email (No subject line, no contact details) stating I was unreachable. I then responded requesting a contact number as I have attempted to return call but the number did not work. Dominique has contacted me on the 21st March and advised that my contract did not reflect as an upgrade but as a new contract therefore the R693 was reflecting, Dominique then advised that she will request for the call recording and call me the next day between 12 and 1pm. Zinhle contacted me on the 22nd March and requested for my id number as this was not on record and advised they will call me back with feedback. Still awaiting feedback.

Someone has contacted me on the 28th of March but I was not able to talk at that time, the agent had advised they will call me back the next day but no one called. My account has already been debited with the incorrect amount. Please provide me with a contact number as Cell C seems to take forever to get back to me.
