data and airtme not loading, but money deducted

<p>over R200 in data/airtime deducted from my account and loaded manually, and yet NOTHING reflects on my phone! phone Ismart and a lady by the name of Mary tells me that since teh "upgrade" cell c does not allow for online banking data/airtime transfers?? Upgrade, but we are going backwards? i explained that i tried to load manually as well and still nothing with data, i manage to laod airtime, but within minutes there was nothing on my phone again, with NO APPS open except whatsapp, and a total of less than ten messages came through, and no updates. I ask what has happened to all of the data/airtime that went off my account, and i am told i have to cancel it with my bank! how am i supposed to prove to my bank that i never recievd the data/airtime but they have taken the money off my account?? Mary says there should be a code, i explained i was on my online banking, there is no code, but you can clearly see where the money was deducted. Mary told me that all clients were sms'd to say we could no longer load data/airtime online, i said i never received it, she said well maybe my number wasnt on the list!! i explained that even the data/airtime i get from them every month was not on my phone. i know it is not Marys fault, but one gets very frustrated when you are paying for a service and receiving nothing in return, frustrated is an understatement!</p>

so after a week of calls to Ismart, queries being escalated etc, having to explain my story EVERYTIME i call in, being told that i was sent an SMS last year November to say we cant buy airtime and data online, which i never received, i no wet told that its nottheir prolem, i must sort it out with my bank!

then we just skim over the fact that the data and airtime that is loaded by Ismart (cell c) is not on my phone either, also just dissappeared, no mention of that!!

where is my data and airtime that i have aid you for already?

Good Day Kerry,

As per our telephone conversation, an sms was generated to all SmartMobile customer in November confirming that all SmartMobile customers can no longer purchase a data bundle direct from Cell C using the SmartMobile account.

Please kindly recharge with Rand value airtime as advised, and convert this to data using our FREE self-help option on *140#, option 2.

Kind Regards,

Customer Service Representation

Sabi,

I would appreciate it if you answer my question instead of yet AGAIN skimming over it by answering with an automated message from nine months ago.

i am talking about the airtime and data preloaded by you guys every month, the money you take off my account every month and have for nearly two years, where is that airtime and data???!!!
