Nightmare Cox Mobile Activation

My wife and I decided to switch to Cox mobile due to promotion and it would cut our monthly phone and internet expense by $100 a month.  I was recently laid off for a second time this year and my wife is currently having to file for disability.  So, this savings would help us.  I received the phones, and they were labeled with her name and one with my name.  I activated them only to find out they labeled them incorrectly, so the one labeled for her had my number and vice versa.  I reset the phones and now neither of them are working.  I cannot reactivate them.  I have been dealing with tech support and the local store for close to 3 weeks without resolution.  I contacted Corporate and they have been involved for close to two weeks and everybody gives me the same answer every day.  It will be fixed tomorrow.  The corporate rep. is now not calling me back as he says he will.  He tells me he will call me in the morning but does not.  I call his number and leave a message so he will eventually call me at the end of the day.  I had put out multiple resumes with my phone number and have missed many potential job opportunities due to this issue.  My wife has and upcoming Disability phone interview tied to her number and if she misses it, it will take another 2 to 3 months to get another one.  I have raised an FCC complaint etc. but nobody is helping in my opinion. Please some help me resolve this issue.

I have been dealing with one of your corporate reps and was told it cannot be fixed. They need to exchange the phones but now I am passed the 14 day exchange policy and have to wait until next week to resolve if it can because he waits til the end of the day when anybody who might be able to fix it is gone for the day.  Top it off, he tells me he cannot compensate me for the loss of potential wages, time, etc.  Not to mention we will now lose the $100 a month savings for the next 3 years.
