CELLPHONE INSURANCE TAKEN OUT-REFUSAL TO PAY CLAIM

I have a loyal customer for MTN for over a decade and have not had any issues until recently. I took out a cellphone contract with MTN in December 2016 for an iPhone 6S smartphone, I already had an existing contract with 24 hour mobility for a Galaxy S5 which i took in 2014. The cellphone contract in question was an upgrade on a previous contract. The cellphone in question was given to me at the MTN Shop in Phalaborwa. I am still paying for this top up.

When i took the contract i was asked to provide an alternative number which i gave and this alternative number has been in use since then.

Unfortunately on 10/01/2018 both phones got lost when attending a funeral service.

I blocked both phones with MTN. One on the same day and the other the following day. After numerous calls to MTN, I was told that they could not pay out because the phone was used with a different sim card than the one on the original contract. When i told them about the alternative number they said i must bring proof that it was insured. I have requested a copy of the contract that i signed agreeing to those conditions and i have not received any. Now im told they number on use is a 060 number and i dont have or no such number. I really considering moving to a beyter network. What worries me the most is that there's bad customer service. I have to call eveytime to get and update and when i ask why no communication im told mtn is a big company dealing with a lot of people. So they have time to call and nofity customers of the progress.

MTN insurance declined my claim and told me they have cancelled my policy. But even after declining my claim and cancelling my claim money is still being deducted how is that possible. As if that was not enough, I got a call from MTN saying I must return my phone because it was replaced.
