Hello Mr Gladwin
I am sorry that you feel that you have not had a good experience with us here at Tamar Telecom.
If a customer does not setup a Direct Debit, then unfortunately we are not able to take regular payments.
After looking in to various accounts that you held with us I can confirm that in your case you had one account with a DD that failed and another where one was not setup at all.
We send invoices via email on the 10th or every month and even when a payment is overdue or dedicated customer service team do make many attempts to contact customers before any form of disconnection takes place.
Customers get 14 days to pay an invoice and even then we do not disconnect straight away and I take pride in the level of communication our team takes to prevent us getting to the point of disconnection.
We appreciate customer feedback our service is certainly not a scam and I am sorry that you feel this way.
Kind Regards
David

Hello, we have already address the situation with your account, extra charges were only applied when the commitment to pay invoices on time were not met, as advised we provide 14 days for invoices to be paid, we also attempt to contact you when invoices go unpaid before any charges are applied, when invoices remain unpaid then this is when there is a late payment charge applied, when invoices then continue to go unpaid as they have we give around 14 to 18 days on top of the initial 14 days for invoices to be settle ( all the time trying to make contact to facilitate accounts being brought up to date) before a reconnection fee is applied, The amount you have quoted in your review however is not correct as you have quoted a higher amount than we actually charge.
In the case of your account we had offered to waive the reconnection charge but you chose not to respond to our offer and instead leave us a bad review.
I am sorry that you are not happy with the extra charges for not paying your invoices on time, we have many times prior to these reviews tried to offer a solution to you. We are still happy to offer the waiver of the reconnection fee if you wish to contact us.
Kind Regards
David

Not fit for purpose VOIP, Think twice
I don’t usually write negative reviews, but when a service directly impacts my business, it needs to be called out so others don’t make the same mistake.
In short: the VoIP phone system does not work reliably. On every single occasion, outbound calls have failed completely, the person receiving the call cannot hear us, and we cannot hear them. Inbound calls connect, but consistently drop after around 32 seconds.
Today alone, my business lost a genuine lead because of this issue. An anonymous caller rang, the call dropped after ~32 seconds, they called back, and it dropped again.. followed by complete silence. Because the caller withheld their number, I had no way to return the call using a working phone.
After several hours, the lead rang again. I tried to quickly explain the issue and ask for a contact number so I could call back on a reliable line. Before I could do so, the call dropped yet again. At that point, the opportunity was lost.
For a small business with a limited marketing budget, this is unacceptable. When leads finally come in, the phone system should be the one thing you can rely on. This one cannot be trusted.
I’ll be moving to another provider immediately.
I'm tech savvy and have no issues with the multiple other softwares I use in the business, my mobile phone line works absolutely fine too. I've called them to discuss this in the past to be told they would investigate. I've also checked the settings they asked me to. All in all a massive disappointment and you're better off just using your mobile number for business calls as it is far more professional than the line disconnecting, or not hearing one another.

Good afternoon Mr Romero
I am sorry to hear that you have not had a good experience with our VoIP service, I appreciate your feedback, I can assure you that your experience is not what the vast majority of our customer experience, we would be more than willing to have our tech team continue to look in to the issues that you raised, sometimes further call examples or information are required to help with fault diagnostics. Unfortunately no telecoms service can be 100% guaranteed fault or failure free, not even a mobile service, we will always do our utmost to work with customers to resolve issues as quickly as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your honest review.
Kind Regards
David

Simple and efficient products. Great customer service.
Have had a virtual phone number through Tamar Telcom for 8 years. It was easy to set up and has been totally reliable. Any queries I have had have been answered quickly and in a way that I could understand. Only leaving now as we are retiring. No hesitation to recommend.
