VODACOM CONTINUES TO ***** AND DECEIVE US!! NO HELP OFFERED AT ALL!!

In SA laws changed regarding data - if you have a contract your data cannot "expire" - once you pay for it the ISP needs to give you that data. My phone was recently ****** so I took a new pre-paid contract of R580 (give or take). After a few months I noticed that my airtime balance does not increase (the sim card is still sealed, never opened) - I use my main and first contract, not the new one. However, after I called Vodacom I was, for the first time ever, notified that I, IIIIIII, signed and agreed to FORFEIT MY MONEY, MY DATA!!!!!!! In other words, they changed their T'c&C's to include that we now forfeit our data/airtime, since they cannot take it back or have it expire. I called to inquire about this and resolve this. I was told that my issue was escalated. The next morning I receive a sms telling me to visit the T'c&C's to see that I forfeit my money to them after 2 months and that my query is now resolved. ***!?!?!? I called again to escalate, long story short, they cannot do anything, help at all with ANYTHING, I WANT, NEED, to CANCEL my contract now and they said they would email me the cancellation form, OBVIOUSLY this never came.

1_ ********** ********** I requested to be put through to someone who can help me or speak to me or actually escalate the case and not act as if it is resolved after they send me a sms saying its resolved and NO ONE COULD OFFER ME ANYTHING. They told me they cannot change the T's&C's for one customer. ABSOLUTE DEEP DEEP HATE FOR THEM, HATE!!!!!!

This is really getting rediculous! Again, without being contacted, as promised by this automated response up here, I receive a SMS telling me my issue has been resolved. This is getting to the Telkom level of TOTAL LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE!?!?! How on earth is a CEO or any lower level of management okay with these type of excuses of service??? I would change my name and try to never be associated with a terrible company like this if I was employed here!?! Do you seriously just not give any ****s for any customers????
