Horrible communication and no stock

I app**** for a Telkom cellphone contract around 2 weeks ago online and awaited contact from Telkom. I was told I would be contacted within 5 days of applying online. To this date there has been no response from Telkom. I then decided to go in store a week ago to apply for the contract. I was told that they are out of stock, but should get the phones within the next week or two, which I was fine with. Today we went there to see the status of the stock, only to be told that stock would be arriving in 3 or 4 weeks time. I am currently sitting with a phone that barely works and desperately need to get a phone. I then decided to take another cellphone only to be told that they only have stock of 2 phones(both completely out of my price range). How can you advertise 20 phones when you only have 2??? Why should I wait almost 2 months just to get a phone from Telkom? I have to use Telkom as they have the best signal in our area as we stay in a farming area out of town.
