Data *******

<p>I have (had) a pay-as-go data contract, with a modem, which I hadn't used for a few months. Last week, I paid for 3g of data. However when I still couldn't connect I went into Vodaworld to try find the problem only to be told that the number and sim card had been cancelled since I hadn't used it for 3 months. I was offered a sim swap but advised the data I'd purchased last week was forfeited.</p> <p>I was unaware of the automatic cancellation, which I could have lived with, but I find it a ******* that the money I paid has just vanished into the vast Vodacom coffers, never to be seen again and no possibility of recovery or even transfer to a new number.</p> <p>Needless to say Vodacom will never see or hear from me again.</p>
