Those are common insurance practices. You've done a good job so far, but keep on it. I'd tighten my callback times. They'll screw with you until you're desperate and try to lowball you on a settlement amount.
What state are you in? Since so much time has elapsed your Insurance Commissioner's office may be able to help. Look them up online. (google 'state "insurance commissioner"') They should have a consumer protection hotline you can call.
Be prepared to file a complaint. I wouln't drop the bomb before you've called for details, but depending on the case even the mention of a commissioner complaint can motivate adjusters that use poor communication as a tool.
