My cell phone service is 'auto-pay' and comes with triple minutes, and 1 GB Data per month per payment cycle. Currently paid up.

I'm here visiting at a place along the Colorado river with spotty cell phone coverage. I still regularly get cell phone text messages and have called out a couple times. I was unaware that since I rarely used my cell phone here, but did get text messages,  that they would shut off my service due to lack of use.

Eventually, a couple days ago, (I've been here for days 24 days) I get an email from them stating they had deactivied my phone, but showed the wrong phone number in the body of the text? And I soon found out that they had also clawed back my Data allotment.

Went online and reactivated. Data allotment was not restored. Meanwhile, I've gotten several emails about the deactivation/reactivation and each and every one shows the wrong phone number. Not a one of them shows my actual working phone number. They all show a different service end date from mine as well.

Called their service center...use to be I could request a USA tech agent and after 3 transfers would get one, this time, 11 transfers and it was a hard to understand Indian agent who pulled the old 'talk at the same time the customer does repeatedly so they get angry and hang up' gambit. I did hang up.

Earlier today, I drove 4 miles where I could get a very strong signal and used the phone as designed so it has been reactivated. Just now checked online and still no data re-allotment. 

This clawing back of alloted data is just wrong. It's something I've paid for, THEY turned off my service without order or request, it's THEIR system that is mistaken about the phone usage, and when my service is reactivated, the SHOULD reactivate the data allotment.
