Get Connected In Aberystwyth

I went to the Get Connected shop today in Aberystwyth, just opposite the KFC. I needed some help and spoke to a lovely guy named Karl behind the counter, he totally sorted my problem in no time.

Will be my first port of call for anything phone related in future.

I am giving Michelle in Brecon Branch 5…

I am giving Michelle in Brecon Branch 5 stars. I had a renewed contract with the Customer Services department last August 2022. Alex told me I could upgrade early (due November 2022) over the phone and would save me money.
What rubbish!
Even having been with Get Connected for over 6 years, they started taking 2 payments a month. Dozens of emails and phone calls, still not resolved.
Turns out they had my date of birth WRONG amongst other details.
Many promises to refund the overpayments, just starting to get some of it back.
Now my phone stopped working over a month ago. No connection.
Turns out they sent me a new sim card which was WRONG again!
In desperation, I went into Get Connect, Brecon, even though it seems, customer services and the shops are different. Customer Services is pinching customers from the shops and claiming to save money over the shops. Two independent shops told me they could have saved money! I was lied to.
Michelle, in spite of it not being her "deal" was amazing. So kind, helpful and spoke to the helpdesk asking all the right questions I knew nothing about and they had sent me the WRONG sim card. They were also very helpful and sending me a new sim card out within a few days.
Massive thanks to the fantastic Michelle. I had had recommendations about her sorting out loads of cases like this.
Michelle should NOT be put in a position, sorting out the incompetence of the Customer Services staff who hide behind emails and telephones, when Michelle is face to face and more than happy to sort out their mess.
Give her a huge payrise!
Thanks, Michelle, if you are reading this, if not, I hope it is passed on.

Great experience at the Mold store

Went into the Mold shop and spoke with Jay and Alex, they gave a great service and sorted me out a brand new phone at a great price, i'm now paying less than what i was and have more data and a new phone. The lads were very friendly and even transferred all my stuff off my old phone onto my new one free of charge.

Thank you, fantastic service

Had a call from Get connected regarding my current phone contract expiring, I do not normally like to do things over the phone but what a truly seamless easy process given that I switched network providers to obtain a better deal, many thanks to Tasha for her time and efforts with sorting everything for me and for the free case !

Went to Get Connected Bridge Street…

Went to Get Connected Bridge Street Evesham.
Served by Rich, he was very courteous, polite and very helpful in helping me purchase a new phone.
He spent some time transferring everything over for me and nothing was too much trouble for him.
I would highly recommend this shop and add that Rich is a credit to the company.

Treorchy Get connected

I've popped into Treorchy Store this afternoon, looking for a new phone contract, jess was more than helpful and willing in this aspect. She got me a better deal than I had with with the bloke I dealt with 2 years. She was most helpful and nothing was too much for her! I will be raving about your Treorchy branch to all my friends! She is a credit to your company!
