First they send you text messages about special deals but you can’t actually sign up for any as your not a new customer and secondly the rewards program is useless still waiting for a reward been 3 months now and no help from either company so have now switched to 1p mobile who use the same network

Awful signal, terrible customer services.

Their appeal is they are cheap, but the signal comes and goes, some days it goes all day. Customer service is terrible, I bought a roaming bundle when I went on holiday and it wouldn't work, tried to get a refund for it and they wouldn't give me one, firstly claiming the bundle was used, so I sent them the screenshot of the unused bundle, they then said I couldn't claim a refund for bundles that had expired, bare in mind this email conversation started a few days after I returned from my holiday, and is still going on today after about 5/6 weeks, it takes them days to respond so this conversation is taking weeks. They also ask for a ridiculous amount of amount of account info when you 1st contact customer services. Going to go with another provider.

Dear Sarash,

We understand how frustrating it must be to spend 5–6 weeks going back and forth with customer service, especially after providing evidence that the bundle was unused.

Could you please help us with the speed test screenshot along with location and postcode details with us.

Dear Customer,

We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused. We understand your frustration as your £20 top-up has not been credited to your account, and you were unable to get the issue resolved despite providing the transaction reference number.

Please share the £20 transaction details, and the reference number you previously provided with us so we can review the payment and investigate the missing top-up further.
