Telephonic deals not what it's promised to be

Got a call from Vodacom on the 19th of December, Told me I'm due for an upgrade and offered me a deal. I've asked the lady (Nontanto) if the call is recorded in case I'm not getting what's promised. I received the phone on the 29th and it's not what she said it will be. Got a sms this morning and the monthly amount to be paid is R119 more than she quoted. Called customer care and was advised the phone will be collected and a new deal has to be made. I've asked about the current deal and was told that it was wrong and a new recording will be made with a new deal. What is the use of making recordings if they can just say that it was wrong?

I'm still being charged for the upgrade, Made several calls to the call centre and every time I was told that the issue has been resolved. Tried to call again today and after putting on hold for several minutes, the call was dropped by the agent when answered,
