Unable to dial out as well as forced to be charged for out-of-bundle rates

<p>Good day </p> <p> </p> <p>I am a vodacom user for over 7 years. I have recently upgraded my cell phone to note 5 with gear s2. o a xs contract. I have not been able to make external calls for a whie now, almost 2 months as it keeps says:"your cellular service has been suspended...". I have called 4 times to the customer call centre and have still not been able to resolve the issue, 1st time they put me on hold for 30 mins without an explanation, 2nd time they dropped my call, 3rd time to be honest Lady named Mbali gave excellent service and it still didnt resolve the issue, i just called this morning when I had a free moment and am still awaiting a callback</p>

I have also been getting charged out of data bundle rates as it always says successful when I purchase a 2G data bundle but it never shows on the balance or vodacom app, its absolutely unfair that my bill has now gone to R1200 from the normal R750, I am quit sick of their service and actually wish i cancelled instead of upgrading.

A Gentlmen called me a few minutes ago and has assisted me with regards to the out of bundles rates and has made a plan to assist me in regards to the out of bundle rate, I am still unable to make outgoing calls but the customer care assistant I called this morning assisted me in telling me why the restriction is on the account and it has something to do with regards to the contract upgrade, as for the Gent that called me , he was very couteous and helpful in explaining to me what was going on with a few clients'(including me) billing issues.

Apppreciate the call back from Vodacom......hopefully I am able to make outgoing calls soon
