“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.

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.”

“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.”

The manager at Woolwich was very professional, apologised on behalf of the company and provided the right sim. This is professionalism at the highest standard. please send my appreciation to the manager at Woolwich.”

“I bought a pay as you go phone online on Orange. I had the phone delivered in 2 days which was good, but that's where it ends. I received a sim pack which allegedly had the £10 top up on there already which is impossible but still I believed them. After waiting over 4 days for the top up to come through and speaking to them via online chats on numerous occasions, I was promised that I'd get the £10 refunded into my account. I had to confirm my account details with them which I did and I tripled if not quadrupled checked my details before hitting send. They confirmed it was the correct account details as I purchased the phone through the same account and was told the money would go straight through. I again accepted their apology and fell for their lies. My money STILL hasn't come, neither has the £10 top up I paid for. Never again will I do business with them and neither will my close friends and family as they know about this. What's £10 to these millionaires? Why steal from a repeat customer? Shame on you.”

Hi Ali, Thanks for your post! I'm so sorry to hear about the experience that you've had since buying a Pay As You Go from us. I can assure you that the service and experience that you have detailed is not what we expect. All Pay As You Go phones do come with £10 top up pre loaded onto the Sim Card, this is then activated within a maximum of 48 working hours of having the phone. I'm so sorry that for some reason your top up was not activated correctly, and that it took so long for the £10 to be refunded, this will be fedback to the relevant department. I've taken a look at your account and I can see that you have since spoken with our Live Chat Team and they have arranged the refund for you. This payment should now be in your account as we advise to allow a maximum of 6 working days. Again I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused. Thanks, Sam.
