One of the worse firm i am dealing with. Im loosing business Bcz of their unprofessional behaviour. Moved to digital line but not been advised what to do untill I got disconnected. Took them one week to order one adopter.dont know when it will arrive. Very stressful

Im going to make this short as it could take me weeks to write my whole Business experience with chess Telecom . We paid for services that never worked. When advised we needed an upgrade to achieve coverage promised , they unknowingly tied us into a new 6 year contract . Services paid for still didn't give us sufficient coverage so we cancelled contract after 8 Years of paying on time. We signed up with a new supplier thinking our cancellation of contract to be approx £1K for original contract signed for ... to be in complete shock when a bill arrive for cancellation of contract in excess of £6K !!!!!! This figure enough to close down a small Business. We fought it for nearly a Year to the point it nearly mentally broke myself and my store Manager. In fact i did subsequently end up in hospital with an FND. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY .. THEY HAVE NO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS. THEY DO NOT PROVIDE WHAT THEY PROMISE. THEN NEARLY RUIN YOUR BUSINESS IN CHARGES FOR SERVICES THEY CANNOT FULLFILL. I hope all of you at Chess that caused us so much pain read this and learn from your crucifying mistakes and are sorry for the upset you caused and the illness you instigated.

Been with Chess for a member of years. They support us with both office telephony systems and mobiles. Service has been great. Our Account Manager, Gareth, is always accessible and able to help. Would recommend.

I had a call back on the same day as my inquiry from Kerryann, she was most helpful, spent time going through my options and I thank you for being so thoughtful

The company appears to be genuinely interested in helping its customers, no matter how small they are. I am confident that our telecom costs are significantly lower than if we had been using another supplier.
The staff take the time to understand your needs. I would particularly like to mention Laura Bacon and Tom Parkin; thanks for your help.
