Appalling reception

Appalling reception. No comparison with previous excellent reception with Vodafone. When I complained was asked to do tech things that as an 82 year old are beyond me. Need a landline for personal safety and banking but conversations keep cutting out so not at all helpful

Laura has the patience of Jove!

Laura has the patience of Jove!
I discovered that the call blocking on my existing DECT system was rejecting all unlisted callers because the pass number that needs to be entered by these callers was no longer being accepted. Therefore I've had to disable it, but am confident that the Phonely call screening will deal with most of the unwanted calls.

We're delighted to hear that Laura was able to help and provide the patience and support you needed while troubleshooting your call blocking setup. Technology can sometimes throw up unexpected challenges, so it's great that you were able to identify the issue with your DECT system.

We're pleased you've chosen to rely on Phonely's call screening, and we're confident it will help reduce unwanted calls while ensuring important callers can still get through.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and for your trust in Phonely.
