Fantastic!

We’ve had a fantastic experience working with Start Communications. The team have been brilliant throughout, providing a professional, reliable and responsive service.
A special mention to Kerry, our Account Manager, who has been excellent. Whenever we’ve identified an issue or needed assistance the team have been quick to respond and get things resolved, making the whole process straightforward and stress-free.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!

Service is great with short SLA's

Service is great with short SLA's, usually hear back from first contact in under 30 minutes. setting up an estate of users or even switching carriers is easy with Start comms. Technical support is also great with the exact same promptness i get from other departments, and issues are worked on right away and i am never left waiting for updates

It's now coming up to a year of my contract

It's now coming up to a year of my contract and I couldn't be happier with the service. They are beyond quick at responding any queries by email and whenever I have a query and want to speak to a human,I can simply call them. the last provider I dealt with you had to fill in full description on a portal and then somebody overseas would decide how important the query was and in what timeframe they wished to get back with you. Not with Start Comms, they are friendly, highly efficient and solve any issues right away. The best decision that i made was swapping over to them.

Slick & Efficient

We have just moved over to Start and they make a refreshing change! Their systems are slick and efficient and the switch over was made seamless by Beverley & Martin on the day!

New phone system

We recently had our new phone system installed by Start Communications, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. The team were professional, efficient, and made the installation straightforward. They have also been extremely helpful in answering any questions we've had since the system went live. We're very pleased with the service and would happily recommend Start Communications.

Amazing Service - Highly Recommend this Company

A great response from the team - when we needed to have a new broad band line installed after our previously provided line supplied by another provider failed.
The provided back up support and communicated closely with us through out the process and installed a new line in recorded time.
Amazing service

Knowledgeable and practical

Richard was a great help when we needed to switch suppliers in a short time frame. He explained the switch process clearly (more clearly that other suppliers I was also in discussions with) and the solution meets our relatively small brief exactly as we need it to.

Highly recommend the switch!

We changed suppliers across to Smart Communications which felt like a big decision with a large account and continued service being imperative to us. There were cost savings on paper which so often don't come to fruition but that was not the case here. Everything we were promised was delivered, from a substantial cost saving and excellent customer service. Kerry and Richard came to site to ensure a smooth process and we could not be happier with the transition and the ongoing customer service from the whole team. SIMs are delivered by hand, sometimes the same day and there is always someone to help immediately if we need assistance. Thank you for saving us money and delivering quality customer service, all day, every day.

Start Communications made the switch over of all our communications so easy. We moved 19 sites over to Start and Beverley kept us informed every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for more - thankyou.

Strong communciation & friendly service

We would typically wait a little longer before providing a review, as we prefer to allow a business relationship time to develop. However, following our initial meeting, we felt confident that this team could support us in moving away from what had become a restrictive and one-sided arrangement with our previous supplier.

Their approach has been clear, transparent, and consistently supportive throughout. Communication has been strong, and they have delivered on their commitments as promised.

On this basis, we feel it is appropriate to share our positive experience at this early stage, and we are confident that this will continue as our working relationship develops further.

Richard and Kerry were absolutely fantastic and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Our existing provider unfortunately decided to turn our phones off before the transfer took place and Richard went out of his way to get it resolved within 24 hours.

All of their hard work was really appreciated and we couldn't be happier now we have moved! All the hard work was much appreciated.

We recently changed our mobiles over to Start Communications. We were kept well informed throughout and the process ran very smoothly. One of the new SIM cards turned out to be faulty but Start were excellent in resolving the problem very quickly.

Excellent Service, Smooth Transition. Happy Customer.

We can't rate Start Communications highly enough. We were having awful problems with our telecom provider and our business was being affected hugely. It is very difficult to choose a new provider when there are so many in the market. We were very lucky to meet Richard, Tom and the team. They listened to our requirements, made informed suggestions and tailored our system to suit our business. Reece and Beverley then handled the transition smoothly and were very quick to make adjustments as we needed them. We have had no problems whatsoever since joining, which has made a huge difference to our day to day operation. We would highly recommend them.

Start Communications 5*

Start Communications provided a professional and smooth service from the start. Their pricing was competitive and on the day of migration, the support team were on hand, without the need for any lengthy 'ticket raising' processes! Would highly recommend.

We recently moved to Start Communications’ new phone system and upgraded our broadband, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. The deployment was well planned and smooth, with clear communication at every stage. The engineer was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to ensure everything was installed and working perfectly before leaving. The broadband upgrade has been a noticeable improvement in speed and reliability, and the new phone system is easy to use and has already improved how we work. A special mention to the support team as well – responsive, friendly, and genuinely helpful whenever we had questions. Highly recommend Start Communications for their service, expertise, and ongoing support.
