How do I reach these guys

<p>Is it a deliberate tactic that MTN service center in East London does not make its contact number easy to find? I checked the Hemmingways mall website and found two numbers, ********** 076/77. I've tried calling mulitple times over the course of a week, it either rings or mostly just gives a busy tone. Its too far for me to drive out there to find out if they have the phone I want, I'd rather have that information before-hand. You'd think a telecoms company would at least be reachable by phone. I have a 15 year old contract with MTN that is due for upgrade, but I'm not getting to the information that I need. To avoid frustration, I'm seriously considering moving to another provider that values customer contact no matter the channel.</p>

Dear MTN

Thank you for the prompt reply. I have seen your brochure, it was my first 'go-to' when checking for phones. What I am really missing is a link to call and find out whether a phone is in stock or not. If it is, I don't mind driving to go and get the upgrade. I can call the franchise stores of course but usually the service center will have stock before these stores do.

MTN - please respond to the actual issue!!!!

I cannot reach these guys via telephone, like I said, it would be logical for customers to want to call this store to find out about certain things, not only walk into the store everytime they need something. I've spoken to many people and they say the same thing of the service center - its absolutely pathetic and unnecessary.
