trying to get an upgrade i am entitled to get and then trying cancel my existing 4 YEAR CONTRACT.

First I tried to upgrade but no success despite everyday I get SMS asking me to up grade so now I am trying you cancel my contract with Telkom and port my number.

I have been told by Telkom I can do that. They sent me a cancellation form which I returned on the 28th Nov '17. I sent further copies as no acknowledgement was received on the 29th and 30th Nov '17. I rang (over 4 hours holding on) and they would tell me nothing.

I tweeted and was told to PM details. I sent the following 4 days ago but NO REPLY.

Copy below of PM minus personal details QUOTE: I first tried to upgrade the phone on 072…..00 and after holding on to upgrades for over 2 hours each time I was told by 2 different Telkom call centre persons I couldn't upgrade on the plan I first took out. I could possibly if I travelled 60ks round trip to Century City. I am registered disabled but neither of your employees were interested in that. I then went a local VODACOM outlet in Constantia who said They could draw me up a contract with an iPhone I wanted but I would have to cancel my contract with Telkom and they would PORT the number . On the 27th November,28th November,29th November and 30th November I cancelled my contract using the cancellation form emailed to me for a months notice to terminate my contract on 31st December 2017 AND sent IT TO ********** To none of these emails did I receive any form of acknowledgement from Telkom Mobile re receiving any of them. I rang your care centre and the 3 different calls were met with complete disinterest. The answer was I couldn't expect an answer within 7 working days and they could not give me an answer in the mean time.I hung for a total 4 hours for these enquiries. In the meantime I have received an Invoice payable on 1st Jan 2018 for the service for January. Also Vodacom have app**** for a porting of the number a week ago but have received no satisfactory answer and have been told I have not app**** for a port of number. Last Friday I phoned UPGRADES again and after letting it ring for 3 hours 42 seconds they said I could have an upgrade but I would have to go to Canal walk even though I was registered disabled to upgrade and get a phone but I should have to check first. I then phoned the communal number for very limited shops and said they said they "might" have some on Tuesday but would not reserve on for me even if I was disabled . I rang today and they said they had one only and it was first come first serve. My original plan was to upgrade and stay with Telkom. I am still willing to do this as long as it is for collection and before Xmas. Telkom are being very unhelpful in either upgrading me (customer for 6 years plus) or porting my number. IN SHORT 1: I want an upgrade to an IPhoneX Space Gray 64 Gbs with 2 Gbs monthly data before 24th Dec 2017

OR

B. 2: You Port my number before the end of this week 15th Dec.2017.

IN LONG I WANT SOME CIVIL, EFFICIENT SERVICE which NO ONE at Telkom seem capable of.

I have just spent a further 2 hrs 45 minutes trying to find out if my cancellation has been received. NO is the answer because we don't always acknowledge emails for 21 working days. How after 21 working days do I know if it has been lost or not if no one can access this information. This way I can never cancel my contract and port my number. Eventually I was cut off because I would not accept their answer, They would not connect me to a manager because that was that..CLICK by them.
