WARNING: Vodacom Cell Phone Business Contract locks phone when data depleted

I am on an multiple employee business cell phone contract with Vodacom. My phone has now been soft locked early in the month for the second time in 3 months, because I reached the limit of my data allocation!!!! Just stop my data when I've reached my limit, don't lock my phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am on call for the next 2 weeks and probably have about 1000 minutes remaining, which will now fall away' and I'll only be able to call or SMS again on 1 October. It is impossible to check my balances on this business contract, because when you call *111# the balance always says 0 MB, 0 minutes right from the beginning of the month. If it is impossible for me to check my balances, how on earth can I manage my usage?????????????????????? And again: IF I RUN OUT OF DATA DURING THE MONTH, JUST STOP THE DATA OR DIP INTO MY AIRTIME LIKE MTN DOES, DO OT LOCK MY PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT LOCK MY PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT LOCK MY PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, did I say...
