Non-cancellation of my contract and more charges

I would like to share my bad experience with Vodacom.In March I phoned to cancel one of my contract phones with them as I am struggling to pay for 3 contracts.I told the lady since my ********** 723 number contract ends in April I want to cancel it and use the Wifi router instead.The lady advised me not to cancel but take a cheaper contract of R39 and receive R55 airtime monthly.I refused but she said I use a lot of airtime this will be better for me.She never advised me to also call to cancel my insurance aside.On the 20 April I realized my debit order is way over from R709 to R817.I called to enquire and I was sent from pillar to post.I reversed the R817& deposited R540 I know of later on I paid the balance of R277 something. I phoned again and I was told my matter will be looked at checking the recording as well.No one updated me on that.I received an sms that I owe R100.88 I don't know which no one told me about.I don't understand why I keep phoning and my matter is not taken seriously.I phoned to say I want to cancel this 083 contract again but still my bill is very high.I don't understand why when someone cancels you don't cancel as requested or do as promised.Now I receive a statement saying on 20 May I will be charged more than R900.As I said in March I cannot afford this but now it's getting worse.Once again I cannot pay more than R600 for phones.Vodacom has disappointed me and I don't want anything to do with this network anymore.They don't care for their customers complaints and act on them.I have been leaving messages to be called on my office number ********** 325 /7 and no one has phoned me yet.I am sooo frustrated now I don't know what to do anymore with Vodacom.

Good day I have not received any call from Vodacom about my complaint instead I received more bad experience.When I phoned again to find out about my bill and the reason why my wifi router gets finished before month end.The lady explained to me that the morning 5gig I receive start from 5am to 23:59pm and night 5gig starts at 23:59pm to 5am.This is a shock to me as no1 told me this.The person who sold me this package just said you receive 5gig morning and 5gig night.When I was using my data after 5pm I thought I'm using the night data but NO I'm still on morning.What I realised about Vodacom they are Misselling,they sell what you want to hear.How was I supposed to know their night is on early hours of the morning while I'm asleep?I was also told I am forfeiting my data if I keep it for 2 months. I really want to get rid of my accounts with Vodacom as they don't sell in a right way.I believe they should ask mostly at what time do you use data when selling this product.How can I use data while I'm sleeping ?I am really furious about this.Imagine that my contract only ends in September 2019 and I just want to end things now. I am still waiting for their call and as I said not in my cellphone during the day but on my landline ********** 111 or ********** 325/7.
