Avoid at all costs. First the company shamefully tries to sale uplifts that are not needed. They had my Ipad for months, repair was sub-standard, but i was just thankfull to get the item back after... See more

Promptly repaired glass

Promptly and well repaired glass on my iPad. Advised to have the sound output jack repaired as well to ensure warranty, although it was working. I would have appreciated a screen protector being included. Fortunately I had a spare one which I have applied.
I appreciated the supply of the packaging for posting.

No phone back in over a month!!!!

Ordered an Iphone screen repair on 11th Nov. Still not got the phone back on 12th December. It is my teenage daughters phone and she is beside herself. Cannot afford to replace it. I have emailed but just recieved an automatic response. Tried to contact them but their phone just ring out. I fear that I maybe we get my phone back. Cost me £40 and an Iphone 6!! What can I do? Who can I claim from? Will our insurance cover this? I So wish I'd have just taken it to the guy down the road...

Order Number 96959.

First rate service

First rate service, highlighted a potential problem and gave me the option to resolve if required.

Not as quick as I would have liked, although all complete and phone returned within 12 days. And it wasn't obvious that I would be paying recorded delivery to send my phone to them in the first instance.

I just worked

Sent off my iPad in the post. Once arrived there was prompt and useful communication by email. I agreed the repairs to be undertaken. It was back in a couple of days even on normal delivery. The price was reasonable too. Recommended.

Amazing service

Amazing service. Not only did they quote the cheapest price locally for a new iPad screen but they had it ready in less than 24 hours. Hassle free drop off and collection.

Will definitely be using them again for future repairs.

Avoid like the plague

I do not think I have had a worse experience with any company in my 45 years.
All looked good for a start until a call stating that they would not guarantee the repair on my I-pad unless the wi-fi cable was replaced. The wi-fi was working fine.
When I got it back the pad had decided to have a life of its own by typing and choosing things without input, was not happy so e-mailed, heard nothing until I added a poor review on here when suddenly contact and they retracted that they would not warrant the repair only if the wi-fi failed (liers). Anyway they agreed to repair it under warranty and I had an e-mail stating the item had been shipped back on 1/12/17 in first class signed for, well it is now the 8/12/17 and it hasn’t turned up, have e-mailed and they gave me a track and trace number that Royal Mail do not recognise and all I am being told is be patient. This company is fraudulent and have no interest in the client, DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR, AVOID THEM.
12/12/2017-update
Well I finally received the I pad, oh hang on that’s wrong I had to collect the I pad from the post office as Fone Angels underpaid the post. 20 mile round trip later and I sent all the costs in and they gave me £5.90 back, so basically the £34.99 repair has now cost with postage back for warranty a total of @ £50. And you know what I even had to threaten action just for them to reply. I am contacting Watchdog and trading standards and will update. Darren

Hello Darren, we're sorry you feel this way. Your device was repaired and despatched but Royal Mail has not updated their service status yet. We appreciate this is annoying but during the Christmas season there can sometimes be delays with deliveries and this is outside our control. We disagree with your comments about our service as we have completed your repair quickly and despatched as promised and our customer service team have been replying to all your queries.

Kind regards,

I booked a walk in appointment to have my iPad screen and IPhone battery replaced.

Both replacements were carried out much faster than the original allotted time and returned in perfect working state.

I would definitely recommend and use Fone Angels again.

3-5 days? I'm at 20 and still counting....

Overall this has been a VERY frustrating experience. The phone line just tells you to email (which will apparently be dealt with quickly) and below is what happens when you email...

Breakdown of a 3-5 working day service timeline:

10/11/2017: Ordered repair inc Mail-in Pack
15/11/2017 (5 days from ordering): Mail-in pack finally arrives - I could have wrapped it in cardboard myself days ago had I known it would take this long
16/11/2017 (6 days from ordering): Phone Received. I agreed that they should proceed within 2 minutes of the 'action required' email landing.
17/11/2017 (7 days from ordering): I'm informed that something else *could* be damaged, would I like that replacing for extra £35. I reply no thanks
20/11/2017 (10 days from ordering): Acknowledgment that I don't want the additional repair to be carried out.
04/12/2017 (17 days from ordering): I ask for an update via email. No reply.
05/12/2017 (18 days from ordering): I asked for an update via FB and Twitter. No reply.
06/12/2017 (19 days from ordering): I ring and get redirected to email again...

This is a business phone which I thought I could manage 3-5 working days without. Its one thing the repair taking time, but the dismal customer service on top?.... I strongly advise you stay clear.

Hello Mark,

Apologies for the delay with your order. The device we received was different to that ordered (you ordered a 5S but it was an SE) so this had to be reallocated to our technicians. Your device has now been repaired and has been despatched. Any further issues, please let us know.

Kind regards,

Very pleased with its service and I have referred fone angels to my friends.
