Crazy data charges for data not used, even out of bundle rates when I have a data bundle.

Last month there was more than R300 added to my bill for out of bundle data charges that I did not use, I had data left that just miraculously disappeared in one day.

So Vodacom did an investigation and said there was no problem and gave me app usage for apps i do not even have in my phone that apparently used the data then they gave me a once off complimentary 2gb data bundle, I dont want the data bundle, I would have bought one if I needed it and I know how to watch my data, look at all my previous accounts I do not use out of bundle data as the prices are ****************! I dont want to pay this extra more than R300!

Now we are in a new month, I have data as I have monthly data bundles, suprise suprise I now see my bill so far there is R22.77 data charges while I have data available!

I want all these charges reversed on my account!

Perhaps I should also open a ******** case of *****/Theft against Vodacom and start civil litigation!

What boggles my mind is that I have been a loyal Vodacom customer for more than 10 years and have never had any problems until now, what the hell is wrong?!!!

Upgrades I think not, I will be cancelling my contracts when they expire, and I thank you!
