vodacom online upgrades offer **** deals

Online upgrade done on 12 nov 2018...Confrmation with reference received and even RAM waybill number recieved...only to find out ( after 6 weeks) that they do not have stock of the phone and will not be getting any stock of the phone... after making use of media platform (facebook) i received feedback and a phonecall saying that the upgrade was cancelled with reason no stock...i was told that they would create the deal for me again. I still have the recording of the call ) it did not happen. I received an email whereby i was offered a complete different deal with a higher monthly premium and much lower value phone. I responded that i cannot accept the new deal and should be offered a similar deal than what i signed up for with the same monthly premium and a phone with similar specs than the online deal that i have agreed to online on 12 nov 2018. It seems like the deal never exisisted and I cannot believe that in the whole of South Africa Vodacom are not able to get a cat s60 , Why offer it on the website and promote deals and promises that cannot be honoured. In a few days it will be 3 months and still nothing from vodacom.

Reviewer Update
Vodacom could not honour the deal and now I get offered a downgraded cat s31 as a relacement . The aim in life is to move foward and upgrade . Why offer me a downgraded device. Cat s61 would be ragarded as a similar device with similar specs , not the Cats31. (Refer to GSM arena for comparison.) The CAT S61 is available and if vodacom is not prepared to offer me the CAT S61, at least make me an offer for another decent phone such as the samsung A9 or S9. I have been with Vodacom (Vodac contract number ********** since 10/10 1979 with the same cell number. It is 20years plus, so why not return the favour by offering me an decent upgrade rather than an insulting downgrade.
