Contract ********s

So I get myseld a smart voice basic month to month package because I don't do contracts. I pay R700 for the handset and all goes well. I needed a temporary data solution and after speaking to a telkom consultant they offer that I can add it to my already active package but i can also cancel at any time since fibre would be coming to our area. So a year later i call to remove the data and only keep the original smart voice basic only to be told i cannot do that because its a 24 month contracts. I dispute this because at no point had the consultant told me I'm entering into a contract. I never do contracts EVER. Also because they gave me a device i need to pay to cancel the contract. I paid full pruce for my device. So they say the original call will be screened to check of the consultant had told me about the contract and I will be called back within 24 hours. It's been a week so I'm already raging about what awaits me. Nect consultant wont know what's going on and will need to escalate. Clearly this is Telkom new MO **** people into contracts without their knowledge????
