No customer service

On Wednesday I upgraded my contract, since then I have had no access to calls inward or out, no data connection and only 3g signal. I have called customer care daily, been through technical, RICA, retention's and customer service departments, I've made contact on email, asked for escalations with no success.

I still have not been given a reason for the issue, or a timeline for solution, the escalation call has not been responded to. All I have been told is that for some reason the contract does not show my sim as RICA registered, but on the RICA system it is RICA registered.

This is not a new simcard, my phone and my connection was working 100% prior to the upgrade. I upgraded as I was happy with my service, however this has been a massive exercise in frustration and there is no ownership of the issue or system to resolve it.

Thank you for assisting, I'm not sure who activated sms roaming as this must have been done in the upgrade process. Its unfortunate that it took 7 days and multiple service requests for anyone to pick this up.
