Excellent Service from Start to Finish

The experience over the phone was very good, and the cancellation process was straightforward and easy to go through. Jennifer was also very helpful throughout the call and did a great job assisting me with my cancellation. She was very informative and clearly explained what needed to be done next in the cancellation process, which made everything much easier to understand.

Really smooth process of purchasing a new phone and sim. Quick dispatch and communication.

The only thing i had to do was change my number over which was a bit misleading on the website when i purchased the phone as you enter all these details when you complete the contract, i assumed it was automatically completed.

But didnt impact the overall experience.

Straight to the point.

Well, the customer care person (Michael) was straight to the point. He was equally very explicit and audible. He managed my expectations pretty well and was done pretty quickly too.

Good Morning Richard,

Thank you for taking the time to speak with us following your Trustpilot review.

Firstly, we would like to sincerely apologise for the experience you have had with us, the courier and the network. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we’re pleased that we were able to speak with you directly and work towards resolving the issues you experienced.

As discussed, you requested for your number to be ported to the network again, and they have confirmed via text that the port is scheduled to take place today. Should you experience any further issues with this, please get back in touch with us and we will be happy to raise this with our account manager at the network to investigate further.

We have also arranged a gesture of goodwill, which will cover your first month’s line rental. This should be paid within 3-10 working days.

We genuinely hope that the steps we have taken have helped to improve your experience, and we appreciate you taking the time to speak with us and give us the opportunity to put things right.

Kind regards,
MJ

Reply from Fonehouse

Good Morning Denise,

We’re very sorry to hear about the issue you’ve experienced with your handset. We completely understand your frustration, particularly as the phone becoming excessively hot is not the experience we want our customers to have.

As you’re unable to be without a phone while we go through the exchange process, we have arranged for the handset to be returned once we receive the handset back, we will arrange for the contract to be disconnected accordingly.

We apologise again for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Kind regards,
MJ
