Got a phone with EE, paying £50 a month for it to not work outside the house! Total joke

Hello Jessica, Thanks for your post! I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing problems with your phone and in particular when you're outside the house. I'm not sure if this is a fault with the phone or more of a signal problem, so there are a few things that you can try. If it is a problem with your signal then you will need to speak to EE and escalate this with them. They will be able to complete some in depth signal diagnostics to see if they can improve this - they may even have signal boxes that can help. If it is a fault with your phone then we have a great Tech Team that can help, and they will complete and run tests over the phone with you - their number is 08448 712233. If they are unable to resolve the issue and there is a fault then you are covered by your warranty for a free manufacturing repair at our repair centre. You can get your phone booked in for a repair at any one of our stores or you can call them directly on 08448 712269. Hope this helps. Kind Regards, Sam.

Very poor service received from all aspects of purchase, Set me up a new contract when I asked for a upgrade that I was due, told me you couldn't listen to the call but then could all of a sudden when my wife chased it up on my behalf, still have not got a working phone which your staff in store couldn't have been less helpful about. the deputy store manager at Gillingham branch must have seen me in the shop at least 6 times barley acknowledge me and every time looked and me like he just wanted me to go away, and to top it off apparently it is partly my Fault that I didn't notice Web match were setting me up a new contract when not once did they tell me this over the phone which was confirmed after you listened to the call . so overall I'm am disgusted at your service and in future will strongly put people off using P4U unless they want to feel under valued and like no one seems to care about customer service.

phone delivered on time, but transfer of number to new sim took some time, but assuming this is the networks issue and not phones4u or our updates from phones4u given a low priority?

Hi Michael, Thanks for leaving your comments. I've taken a look at your account for you and I can see that it was an Orange upgrade that you took out with us. There is a 4 day delay on the connection of your new Sim Card, this is an agreement that we have with Orange. It allows you time that way to make sure that the phone is delivered and also everything is transferred so it's not lost. You should find that your old Sim Card is still connected for you, and this should not disconnect until your new Sim Card is connected. Thanks for getting in touch with us. Thanks, Sam.

Not good value for money, much better deals can be found elsewhere

Hello Rebecca, Thanks for you comment. We do try and be competitive with what we offer and do look at what else is available in the market. A lot of our contracts/deals do come with free gift and we do run a lot of promotional offers, however, these are subject to availability and change. If you do see something elsewhere, then it is worth mentioning it to our Sales Team and they will try their best to match this for you. Thanks, Sam :)

Complete lack of knowledge and information. Not informed that current sim card would be obsolete within 2 hours of agreeing new contract leaving me without any way of communicating if leaving the house. New phone was to be delivered within 2 days, managed to book the day off only to get an email stating phone would be delivered next day!!!! (Boss about as happy as i was) 3 months in and got an email and a letter stating that the insurance i took out had not been put in there system due to an administration error and wasn't covered (even though my bank statements showed otherwise). 4 months in and after numerous calls regarding previous issue they have now changed the insurance claims policy., and after sifting through all the jargon basically they want me to pay a ridiculously large excess for any claim if i had to make one. (will now be cancelled by the end of this month) In short - Phones (never again) 4 me

After Phones4U telling me a deflated contract price over the phone, and me being completely shocked to see the true price on the contract notes, then refusing to release the phone call recording until after my legal right to cancel had expired, I would never recommend this company to anybody.

Upgraded over the phone, I wanted to keep my original number which I had for about 15 years, your phone rep didn't listen to anything I said! He was only interested in the sale. Have advised all my friends family never to come to u !!! I did ring to complain and was told I would get a call back - never received !!!

I needed my mobile MIC looked at or repaired, it seems the service is built around the sale and not the customer after the sale. My moble continues to offer limited volume, I will not be using phone4u again. Brian Royal 07903063333

Hi Brian, Thanks for getting in touch. I'm sorry to hear that the MIC on your phone is faulty and is affecting the volume on your phone. We can certainly take a look at getting this fixed for you, and with your HTC you do get a 24 month manufacturer warranty. It may be worth speaking to our Tech Team first of all as they will complete some diagnostics and tests over the phone with you first to see if they can resolve this - their number is 08448 712233. If the fault still persists then you can get this sent off for a free of charge repair with our repair centre. To get your phone booked in you can visit your local store or call them directly on 08448 712269 and they will send you out a pre paid bag. I'm so sorry that no one has looked into this for you already and that you've not had the best of service. Thanks for highlighting this to us, as we will make sure it is fedback so improvements can be made going forward. Kind Regards, Sam.

Although at the time I thought you had spent time finding me the best deal, I now totally regret not just renewing with O2. The phones took ages to arrive and I was having to pay on my old network as well as new network because of this. I was told I could take an international bolt on only to find one didn't exist. I would never recommend this company. Feel free to contact me at stevedeaville@hotmail.com if you want more info.

I have been waiting for nearly 6 weeks for my phone to be repaired, and after consent phone calls and being put on hold for up to 20 minuets at a time i was promised a new replacement handset from a m7 to a m8 which i thought was very good, but 6 weeks and still waiting, not being able to use my data, calls and text which iam paying for, thanks . I am very disappointed with the service you are providing and will not be back to upgrade mine or the 4 other members of my household.

Hi Neil, Thanks for your post! I'm so sorry to hear about the experience that you've had with us and that you have had to chase your refund. I've taken a look into your account and I can see that you have been dealing with our High Level Complaints Team. They have now arranged the refund of your phone and this will show in your bank account as a BACS payment. I'm so sorry for the time that this has taken, and I can already see that it has been fedback to the departments concerned. Kind Regards, Sam.

I pre ordered two phones with phones 4 u not so long ago and it was the worse decision i ever made. I was totally ripped off with the deal I got with phones 4 u. I was told it was the best offer. I shall never be shopping with phones 4 u again. Please look elsewere before you go to phones 4 u.

Hi Farhan, Thanks for your post! I'm really sorry that you do feel this way. We do like to think that we are competitive with the deals that we offer, and all of our deals are subject to availability. If it is that you do see a particular deal elsewhere whilst shopping around you can always mention it to our Sales Team and they will be more than happy to see if they can match this.
