Reviewer Update

As I have logged the complained on Friday 15 July 2016, and received the following ref nr: 1- ********** 9229, the consultant said it takes 48 Hours for a response

As it is now 19 July...and I phoned today to follow up, the new consultant advised it takes up to 16 working days

Now I ask you, NO ONE can advise if there is setting on my account to give any notifications for the following month for data limit

So in my conclusion, it will take pretty much a month for any feedback, as I have not received any response from my complaint, I had to PHONE myself...

And then I will receive another HUGE BILL, after a month, with no notifications on my account, and the whole complaint will recall itself

Can anyone tell me, how does this work, that there is NO response, or any technical detail on my account that shows, I will receive notifications, PLEAS EXPLAIN

Thank you
