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

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

Really not my favourite company to deal…

Really not my favourite company to deal with. Had to phone up to request a return number (which you don’t even need anymore!! - apparently the website is outdated). When I phoned up had a rep tell me that no one was available to talk me through the process and that they would call me back within the hour -which I couldn’t do so we arranged a different time for them to call. No one called me at the specified time. So… I called them, was put through and had to sit through a 10minute talk about how to return the phone. This info gets sent over email anyway so having to call up is a complete faff and pointless part of the returns process. They need to streamline this and stop wasting customers time.

Good Morning,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and, in particular, for the delay in getting back to you at the agreed time. We understand how frustrating this must have been and apologise for the inconvenience caused.

When processing a handset return, we are required to go through the relevant terms and conditions with the customer over a recorded call. This is an important part of the process as it ensures the customer is fully aware of the return requirements, including the condition the handset needs to be in when it is received back. If this recorded conversation does not take place, we are unable to send the return information by email.

Our website is not intended to provide an alternative returns process. The requirement to contact us is there to ensure the return is processed correctly and that the handset is sent to the appropriate location, reducing the risk of it being sent to the wrong address or not being received correctly.

That said, we appreciate your feedback regarding the process and the time taken to complete your return. We will review this internally to see where improvements can be made and how we can make the experience more straightforward for our customers.

We’re sorry again for the inconvenience and appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback.

Kind regards,
MJ

Applied for a mobile contract with Fonehouse. The next day I had a email to say I was successful and my phone will be with me the following day.

Phone came the next day, updates throughout the process.

Very happy I come across these on my google search. Good monthly payments that are cheaper than going direct to the supplier.
