If Fonz no longer had the product for sale they should have stopped advertising it, instead you continued to advertise your offer for days after the product had been sold out. People will give a store a bad name when that store does something wrong like lying or treating customers badly.

Since the market reaction was crazy, the target of N 73 was increased from 200 to 400 phones with MTC postpaid lines, they sold the other 200 phones in another 2 days. The only mistake was that Fonz didn’t mention a comment "Until Stocks Last" in the Ad they placed. They learnt from their mistake and mentioned it in their next promotion. And you know the market in Kuwait or anywhere as a matter of fact, if something valuable is dirt cheap everyone wants it. And when you don’t get it, accuse them and give them a bad name. Lastly no Ad can be released in a daily or weekly newspaper without the approval of ministry of chambers, Kuwait, so there cant be any fake ads.

I will be happy to share any efforts to highlight their stupid leis.

I told the guy ok, make a subscription for me and I don’t need the modem; they refused. Later they made anther add and I got the same result…. Maybe Fonz has stupid Marketing manager that think he can make some sales by getting customers to his store. Simply this people are liars I had the same problem twice with Fonz few months ago they advertise the new ADSL Connection, when I contact them they say but we run out of the ADSl modem.

Their service is a million times better then fOnz for example. There is another phone store called Fono who are also a franchise and have numerous shops around Kuwait.
