Vodacom cancels insurance, doesn't bother to tell the customer

My husband has been a long standing customer of Vodacom, over 10 years. He has always taken out insurance with the contract upgrades. He dropped his phone and sent it in to be fixed only to be told his insurance was cancelled 10 months ago. He didn't request for a cancellation, apparently it was an error in the system. No one ever informed him of this! Now he's been told he must pay the 10 months missing in order for his phone to be fixed! Utterly ridiculous!

Reviewer Update
Update: all of a sudden my husband has insurance again. Send in the phone again. First told we must pay the excess when the phone goes back to the shop. Then excess must be paid before its sent back. Ok fine, excess is paid. Hear nothing back. Then told we have to send proof of payment. Send it through. Told it takes up to 14 days... to read an email? Come on. Phone again, Patience says she'll call right back. Never does. Phone again a day later, now they have no idea where the phone is. Absolutely disgusted. Hubby will not be renewing his contract.
