In poor Taste

I think it is in very poor taste especially in these hard times to take advantage by "conning" customers into buying things they can't use. I am a prepaid client and have to refill my data account. as always I received an SMS to remind me of my data balance when it it low. in that message it said dial *124# to get social 1GB at R39. Now finally someone to lower their rates to relive a bit of financial burden. Boy was I wrong because when I dd purchase this data it did not appear on my phones balance but separate as Social Data tickets. When I phoned Vodacom to ask what that was I was told that Data can only be used with Facebook ,Twitter or Instagram. As I have none of the above - Shoot me- the data was lost and I had to buy more for my phone. You tell me if I am stupid to not understand form that SMS very poor and misleading. I am very sad that in hard times like this companies can still be allowed to get away with this.
