Disappearing Airtime, useless call centre

i have been having a problem with my airtime disappearing, its been months now, but everytime i called i got told the "your apps are using up your airtime" story, i stopped calling and tried to manage this problem myself, now i can only load airtime in bits and pieces to avoid it just disappearing with no explaination, monday R55 was loaded for me, i used some of it to buy data to use for whatsapp which is the only app i had open on my phone , all the other app i use on my work pc, so i always make sure they off and they were off, my R28 disappeared 5minutes into whatsapp as confirmed by the agent, but as far as i know whatsapp cannot and has never used R28 in 5minutes esp when i had data, so since i had all my applications off , no one can explain to me what happened to my money, iv let this disappearing airtime situation go for months cos i knew i wont get any assistance calling in, now R28 is a lot of money, i need this sorted out, call centre is so useless, i was on a call with someone for 30minutes, who kept putting me on hold and giving me information thats invalid to my call, the prev agent "logged a call" and promised a call back which ddnt happen, ive been with vodacom for too long but i cant keep spending money on airtime that just disappears.

Good day

We regret taking note of your experience and thank you for bringing it to our attention.

I could not reach you when I called.

Please check your usage on your handset by going to Settings>Cellular>Scroll down to see apps using data, but please go to the end of the page to see when your last reset was.

As soon as you can see your data usage, please reset your statistics at the bottom of the page. This will refresh and reset your counters to zero. You will then be able to see what is using data on your device going forward.

I have loaded some airtime on your number as a good will gesture.

Regards

Moddy
