Avoid this company

I visited the Abadare store today and was in the process of taking out a phone contract. During the process, I noticed they never mentioned that the contract only included 3G and 4G coverage, with no 5G available. As soon as I saw the contract details in the email, I immediately questioned it because 5G coverage is important to me.

The salesman told me there was no 5G coverage in my area, which is simply not true, as I am currently with EE and already receive 5G coverage where I live.

At that point, halfway through the process, I clearly stated that I had changed my mind and no longer wanted the contract. I had not signed any paperwork or physical documents, yet I was told the contract had already been “sold” and was basically forced into continuing. I left both the SIM card and the phone on the counter because I did not want the contract.

I also contacted head office to make a complaint, but instead of dealing with the issue properly, they transferred me straight back to the same store and the same employee involved in the situation.

Very disappointed with the experience and the misleading information provided. I could have received a far better deal with EE. I would not recommend this store based on my experience.

Hello Maryam,

Thank you for your review; I am sorry to read that you are not happy with the service.

As discussed with you in store, there is no 5G coverage at your postcode yet on Vodafone, but it will be available in the future.

We understand that since taking the deal you had a conversation with your previous supplier and decided to take a deal with them. We understand how frustrating it is to be offered something you prefer after taking a deal elsewhere, but we are happy that we satisfied your requirements at point of sale.

We are sorry that you are not happy this time and wish you all the best for the future.

Great Service!

I came into Get Connected Bangor looking for a new iPhone and I honestly couldn’t fault the service. Dan explained everything clearly, helped me find the best contract for my budget, and even managed to save me money compared to quotes from other network shops in the area. No pressure selling at all, just genuine advice and friendly service. The whole process was quick, easy and stress-free. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new phone!

David from Porthmadog office always goes above and beyond.Been going there for few years now. He is polite and easy going, gives you the best options and is never pushy. I'm not tech savvy and he is always patient. Helped to transfer everything from old phone to new one. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Will be going back in a couple of months to sort out my broadband. Thank you David,see you soon!

I found a deal for 80 Gb Vodaphone Red 2 year contract but Get Connected are not interested in honouring it ? Is this a fair way to conduct a business? It’s not like they are going to go bust ?

Hello Mr Jones,

Thank you for your feedback.
As stated to you, that page should not have displayed the deal that you found so we do apologise for the confusion.

As also stated, the deal did not exist with Vodafone no longer, so we were unable to physically put you on that contract.

We did contact you to advise we did manage to find a deal that was a sim only with Vodafone, giving you more data for less per month but we did not hear from you.

We are sorry that we could not help you on this occasion and hope that you find the deal that you want.

Ive been to the pothmadog shop twice now to both get my contract and renew for an updated one
Not only did David go above and beyond in helping me the first time setting everything up when no one else would take on my contract he basically did 90% of the work the second time
He explained everything in minute detail and answered any queries i had and eeased any tension i had
I would 100% recommend using the shop if you plan on getting a new phone or contract all the staff were beyond helpful

I took my elderly neighbour to the Ross on Wye shop to ask for assistance with her phone and laptop. Dave went over and above to make sure that he solved all of her issues. He never rushed her or trivialised the problems. We were delighted with this excellent service and would like the company to acknowledge that Dave is an exceptional employee.
