No service due to Strike!

I have a sky contract with MTN, not cheap if I may add <br> <br> Last year October I started a new job, which required a contract phone with a open line, so I got the contract, now I have the problem, I'm going back to my old job, I phoned my local MTN store to find out if I can migrate to a more affordable contract, at first no one could help met, they keep on telling me to phone 808 and find out from them, when I phone 808 they tell me to go to my local MTN store, right so I went back to the store, finally they sent a email and got me a price. After about a week I phoned them again to ask if they could find out what the amount would be if I cancelled my contract completely, and so the same story started again, told me to phone 808, so that's what I did, spoke to someone there Ref number *** and the lady told me that that department is on strike, now that strike has been going on for weeks according to the staff at my local MTN store.<br> <br> Now I have a problem, as I start my new job on 1 July 2015 and I cant afford the contract anymore, so everyone is on strike and I need to keep paying until everything is back to normal. <br> <br> That is just unacceptable.<br> <br> Waiting for MTN's feedback
