Default Mobile phone shops without phones ?

Anyone work at a mobile phone shop explain this?
How is it they can advertise a phone yet none have them in stock
Nothing special either but a viewty on pay as u go
Went in Carphone whore house, Phones 4 u and o2
All had a phone on display at sub £100, yet none had them in stock.
Fair enough... But we should get a few in next week?
But was also told that just before crimbo a month ago lol !

How does it work when they can only get a few at a time, or none in this case?

bogus deals in the window that dont exist to entice you in hoping you will buy something else instead as you cant wait? holiday shops were/are known for the same thing.

I thought of that by the time I'd got to the 2nd shop, but assumed they were above that
Maybe not

if none of the shops have stock of the same phone it could be a problem with the supplier ?

Don't bother with that phone, you WILL hate it.

Unless you like carrying the little stylus around with you, you cannot scroll down the screen without it taking you somewhere else.

Got one for my father, it lasted a week before we took it back and exchanged it for something else.
