****** Vodacom Data - Contract Phone

The past few months I have to buy extra data bundles despite the fact that a 1GIG data is part of my contract. I never had to buy extra data - but all of a sudden data get used up for no explainable reason. I've received a sms on Sunday, 20 August 2017 that I've already used a certain amount out-of-bundle data, so I've immediately purchased an extra 1GIG for the amount of R149 and received a confirmation sms saying that I've purchased the 1GIG data and that an amount of R149 will be deducted from my account. Today I've received another sms saying that I've used more than R340 out-of-bundle data. After querying it, I've been told it doesn't show that I've purchased any additional data despite the confirmation sms. Where is that data that I've purchased? And what will happen to the "out-of-bundle" rates amount already billed to my account? I was under the impression after receiving a confirmation that the bundle have been purchased that I am using my 1GIG data bundle. Vodacom data going missing is not only Top-up or pay as you go clients.

3 days has passed after my complaint but no consultant as promised by Vodacom had contact me to assist with my query as yet. This is pathetic and unacceptable!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is Monday, 28 August 2017. I have contacted Vodacom on Friday the 25th of August 2017, I had no feedback or call from them as promised. I had to phone them again, I spoke to Tebogo from Vodacom Customer Care after explaining my whole situation I had to go through authentication which after he transferred me to the "back office". Sibusiso answered, taking me through the whole authentication again and I had to explain my whole story again, I am still holding for an answer, I am already 11 minutes on the line with them and still holding - I am still holding it is 13 minutes now . Ok, now Sibusiso told me he have to find out from the "back office" because apparently Tebogo transferred me to the "solutions" department not the back office as he told me - I am still holding it is 17 mintutes now. I am still holding - it is 18 minutes and counting. I am still holding - it is 21 minutes UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Sibusiso came back to me after 22 minutes - with some answeres and trying to explain what is going on. In total I hold for 29 minutes.
