Prompt and excellent customer service

Actually, very shortly after I posted the review below, a woman (Jessica I think she said her name was?) called me and sorted out my issue and I've been able to get through to Ireland with the 'fix' she set up. Thank you - I'm happy to amend my review to 5* based on this prompt and responsive customer service!

Have others has problems connecting to Planet Telecom?
I can't make a call to Ireland via the access number. I called Customer Service and the guy, although friendly, is unable to help me except to suggest I'm dialing incorrectly which is not the case! On the last call he just wished me well and left me with the problem!

Planet Telecom

We have received excellent service from Planet Telecom and would highly recommend them. Jonny, Jenny and the wider team are always friendly, helpful and quick to resolve any issues.

As a small business, it is particularly reassuring to be able to pick up the phone and speak directly to a real person when we need support. We have also found the introduction of the Cisco desk phones, alongside the mobile app, extremely beneficial.

Thank you to the whole team for your continued support!

DOES NOT WORK

DOES NOT WORK. I signed up for an account and added some money. I called a bog standard Johannesburg dialling code which are not premium rate number but it didn't work. I called their help line but they just insisted it must be a premium number. As a South African, I am 100% certain it is not. Poinless service. Now awaiting a refund.

Your reply is incorrect. The number is a geographical number. Yes it is a business but an 011 number is a Johannesburg geographical number. Spin what ever way you like, your service is not fit for purpose.

Having lived in Johannesburg for 26 years I beleive I have some knowledge of how South African phone numbers work.

From Wikipedia: I can not post a link.
011: Witwatersrand region around Johannesburg, currently code for the entirety of Greater Johannesburg

Special Numbers start 08
Premium numbers start 09
Cellular numbers start with 08 or 07

Oh dear, I'm sorry to read this 1 star review about our cheap international call service.

Our solution is designed to be used for landlines and mobiles and the number you were calling did not fall under those two categories, as it was a business, and they were using a non-geographic number.

I agree, the terminology used can be a bit confusing, but alas, it's how the categorisation is fed to us, unfortunately. In our industry, 'Premium' as a word covers a broad set of numbers of that don't fall under the landline or mobiles umbrella, rather than it necessarily being a super expensive line. We'll see if we can adjust this language.

We immediately agreed to a refund and processed it instantly. I've personally checked and it should be with you now. Feel free to contact me if it's not.

Again, very sorry we weren't able to offer the service to those numbers.

Fantastic customer service

Our internet had gone down over the weekend, intermittently in and out. I contacted planet telecom and was instantly called back from Jonny. He not only has sorted all of our internet issues, he has gone above and beyond keeping me informed of all works carried out. He has even contacted me today to make sure that our internet is working correctly going into the weekend. Big thank you to Jonny 🙏

UPDATE: Planet Telecom to the rescue

I deposited £5 with Planet Telecom and received the confirmation from PayPal. However, twice I've tried to make a call (UK to USA) and each time I get a recording saying I have NO credit and the line disconnects!
UPDATE: I have since spoken with Planet Telecom and they immediately corrected the problem and also gave me a little top-up for my trouble. I am now one very happy customer!

Fantastic

Planet Telecom have been fantastic for our business. They helped move a number of sites away from BT for phone line and broadband, which all went smoothly. Great customer service as well.
Would highly recommend.

Amazing Amazing Amazing

Amazing Amazing Amazing! Saved my business from a terrible phone system that was not doing what we were promised! Callam was not pushy at all, he actually listened and went away to see if he can help, 24hrs later i was brought out of horrid agreement and brand new system with ai technology was installed, my staff absolutely love it (so user friendly) and the ongoing support from Planet has been second to none. Highly recommended 👌🏻

The product didnt work for me

The product didnt work for me . I Asked for a refund.

They said they refunded and it would taks 3-5 days untill the fund went back to my card.

2 weeks later I had to ask for a refund again.

This is when they started the refund process.

They tried to keep my money hoping I wouldn't check my bank balance and foget.

I do not trust this company if they are willing to try to scam my £5.00 refund.

Hi Adam,

I'm sorry to read this. For context: the cheap international calls £5 refund was processed at the time but couldn't reach you, as the email you gave for the refund didn't match the one on the account. The moment you raised it this morning, I processed it manually, so it's resolved.

I do want to note that the emails sent to my team were very abusive - not something anyone should have to deal with over a delayed £5 refund that was already in hand. We're always glad to help when approached reasonably, and would have resolved this just as quickly that way. It's now sorted regardless.
