Poor service

I had a problem with my wifi which I reported mid January, I was sent a new router but this would not connect to my digital phone. I have continued to request help but we're now into March and I still have no wifi. As a small business it has been extremely challenging, embarrassing in front of customers and upsetting, not to mention loss of earnings. The staff are always polite and assure me they're doing everything they can but I still have no wifi. I sent a complaint email last week and did not even receive an apology in their response. I certainly regret entering a contract with this company and will not be renewing.

DREADFUL COMPANY

Everything is wrong with this company. We no longer want to be associated with Unitel but struggle year on year to cancel the service. It isn't good value for service, we have paid them thousands over our time and for what ? Not one, NISH, NARDAR, NOTHING. Not one enquiry from our website, which, they actually piggy back on from Webahead. The money we paid should have created a new page entirely. We don't appreciate the fact that they cannot TRANSPARENTLY supply a cancellation date/s for any of our contracts. They basically want you to miss the cancellation opportunity so they can basically relieve you of your hard earned cash for another millennia! Horrible company to deal with, certainly one I wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy. Not one good word to say. The way they conduct business is disgusting. We are now paid up for another term..... let us cancel, walk away, you've had our cash... take it with our thanks and do nothing. But oh no, not let you go that easy. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DEAL WITH THESE INDIVDUALS. YOU'LL NOT GET AWAY. EASIER TO CLOSE THE COMPANY AND START AGAIN LEAVE WELL ALONE.

Majestic Event Hire

We have been with Unitel for 3 years now and I must say was a little sceptical about this kind of service. Michelle and Melissa have been involved I’m my accountant from the start, created great alternative domain name website pages that help direct more clients to our main site. These pages now rank all on the first page of Google. This does take time but once you’re up there they do maintain the SEO, keeping you on the first page of search engines. It’s a service that once you buy into it you’ll have to keep it going otherwise these sites will drop down the search ranking's. Be prepared to go for the long term not short term to see the real results.
Thanks for the good work Unitel and look forward to the continued support.

Fake webistes, ZERO leads

We have wasted so much time and money because of them. So first of all, they cannot help to rank your website on Google. They will create fake websites that will lead to your main website (they will present this in a careful manner that you won't relise!), which will seem dodgy to any customer. So after paying them a lot of money, we have received absolutely ZERO leads, and they do not care about designing the website etc.

Please be extremely careful with this company because they are running a scheme that you will never be able to get out of the contract, and they will use made-up phone call transcripts against you when you have clearly emailed them that you wish to cancel their services.

They do not care about you after taking your money, and as I said, you cannot cancel with them because they will threaten with legal action, and they will waste your time and your employees' time, so be careful with them.

Dear BTS Cars,

I am sorry to see you have felt the need to place this review.

Regarding Google, you are not allowed to give legal guarantees for rankings. With that being said many of our customers do rank on the first page of Google which I can see one of your domains are.

The "fake websites" you refer to are landing pages for your main website. We use generic domain names i.e. a service in an area to help potential customers find your business if they did not know your business name directly. We create you a website and do the SEO behind the site to get it to rank on the search engines and we have a main website link on the website so that potential customers can go through to that site should they wish to.

If you wish to cancel you just have to give the correct notice as stated in your contract and our T&Cs. Our lines are open from 8am - 6pm with agents available to handle your query regarding cancellation policies should you have been unsure.

I can see your account is with our debt department so I will leave it in their hands to discuss the outstanding balance.

Regards
Unitel.

If I could leave 0 stars I would

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Do not do any business with this company in terms of online marketing or whatever else they do. Empty promises, lies, shoddy websites, and therefore, no results. Stay well clear.

Do not trust this company

Do not trust this company! All transactions other than invoicing are done verbally so that when their account manager lies and fail to do what he agrees to do you can't prove it. Once they have your business they make it as difficult as possible to cancel.

Dear Chris,

I am sorry to see you felt the need to place this review.

Along with our verbal contract we do also send an E-Contract which is a copy of our verbal contract.

As with most businesses we have a cancellation policy. This is read out to you and is included in the E-Contract which is sent over to you. Our cancellation policy can also be found in our T&Cs.

I can see you a no longer a customer of ours. So I will wish the best for the future.

Warm Regards
Unitel

Dear David,

I'm sorry to see you have felt the need to place this review.

Having looked into your account I can see your domain is ranking 1st page, position 1, on Bing, Yahoo & Google which is fantastic.

With marketing we cannot guarantee leads, we can only put your businesses where customers will find you, which we have done.

I can see you are currently liaising with our debt department, I will see what further things we could do to possibly increase traffic to your business.

I am sorry to see you have not had a return on your investment. Please look out for a call from us to try and get this resolved for you.

Kind Regards
Unitel
