Good service received.

Good service received.
Good deal on the contract.
Phone wasn't actually in stock after taking my order.
This was communicated next day and was given the choice of waiting or accepting a different colour, this was no problem as my 1st choice was received 3 days later.
Recommended company.

Felt tricked but too late to cancel

Applied twice for my handset and contract as for some reason it didn't go through with my first attempt and as such I lost the money off discount which was very underhand also I had thought I was getting earpods as my gift but it had reverted to the watch which i don't like or use

Good Afternoon

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're sorry to hear you're disappointed with your experience.

We've looked into your orders and can confirm that the manufacturer had changed the promotional free gift at the time of your applications. On both of your orders, the eligible promotional gift was the smartwatch, and unfortunately, complimentary earbuds were not included with either application.

We can also see that your first order was unfortunately declined following the network's credit assessment. Your second application, with a different network, was then successfully accepted. As these were separate applications, the pricing and promotions available at the time of each order were applied accordingly.

If you paid any upfront charges for the declined order, these would have been automatically voided rather than taken. The time it takes for the funds to become available again depends on your bank. Most high street banks typically release the funds back into your available balance within 3-5 working days, while some online or digital banks can take up to 30 days to remove the pending authorisation.

We appreciate this wasn't the outcome you were hoping for and understand your disappointment. If you'd like us to discuss your order in more detail, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our Customer Services team.

Kind regards,
MJ

Would recommend ✨

I had an excellent experience with Fonehouse. As my first contract was coming to an end this month, they got in touch to explain my upgrade options. McKenzie was fantastic. He was patient, professional, and happy to answer all of my questions without being pushy.

He took the time to understand what I wanted and my budget, then explained the upgrade deal thoroughly so I knew exactly what I was getting. The deal was excellent and much more affordable than going directly through the network provider.

Brilliant customer service from start to finish. Thank you, Fonehouse! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Set up insurance without consent

Having posted my one-star review, I was contacted promptly by Fonehouse who have rectified my issue and agreed that their website needs to be clear about what the insurance policy offered entailed.

Set up insurance without consent.

Took my order (and payment), promising next day delivery and then told me there was a delay on my order. When I contacted them a day or so later, the colour phone I'd ordered wasn't available. I ordered an alternative, and all seemed fine until I realised that they'd set up an expensive ongoing insurance policy without my consent. (They advertised one month free insurance with the order and never communicated that this was optional,nor ongoing).

Online Payment Issue But Good Phone Customer Service.

Had a issue sorting payment through the website which occurred over several days (weekend). No doubt about it though the deal was the best I could find so I waited till the customer service team were open.

The phone customer service with Michael was easy and sorted the issue no problem. Quick and easy service. Found the deal I was after, ran through the T&Cs with efficiency and made sure I had what I was looking for.

A decent overall experience, would have been 5 star if it was not for the server error for online payment, but can't fault the customer service line.
