Cell C it on the brochure doesn't mean you get it

It seems what Cell C advertises and what they do are clearly different. Firstly the phone I wanted on contract wasn't available and out of stock and I wasn't kept up to date so I eventually chose another contract on Monday 13 July with another phone and on the brochure it clearly indicates that a free cover and screen guard is included. I was then informed by Angelo that it is a printing error. When I asked him if it is false advertising he said basically yes. I was informed by him that it was a mistake from Samsung and their manager informed them it was a printing error. However on Wednesday I contacted 2 other Cell C stores and asked if they included the cover and screen guard and their reply was yes. I was even informed that the message was given to all branches. When I asked if the message would have been available to the branches by the 13th of July I was informed that that would have been the case. Thus false advertising seems to be a part of Cell C service at Kolonnade Mall. I would like to receive my cover and screen guard as was advertised.

I want to thank Cell C Kolonnade, especially Mr Jeandre Jordaan and Me Pelma Kabini for sorting out the miscommunication and lack of communication issue I had with the branch regarding a phone cover and screen guard. On the 15th of July Me Pelma Kabini contacted me and we resolved the issue. After consultation with Mr Jeandre Jordaan they also provided me with a free screen guard and body glove cover that is of a much higher quality than the one I was supposed to get. I spoke to Mr Jeandre Jordaan and informed him that I also work with people and that I am also fully aware that miscommunication and a lack of communication harms the business. I asked Mr Jeandre Jordaan that clients must be told before hand if there was any printing errors or changes are made to the products as it can effect their choice of phones etc. Thank you Cell C Kolonnade for following up so quickly and turning my frown upside down and I hope that communication with your clients will be clear and that a lack of communication and miscommunication is a thing of the past.
