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.

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!

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 ?

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.
