Excellent service from Chess moving our mobile phone contract. A fantastic deal financially with no affect on service. Natalie was with us every step of the way and answered all questions quickly and comprehensively to ensure everything went to plan. I would highly recommend both Chess and Natalie.

How to lose customers

Call after call after call every time ended up with some un-helpful person who all they could say is open a support ticket! eventually gave up! Tried later to be answered by some artificially inseminated crap that was more than useless. If you didn't give it something it could hang its hat on it ran home to momma with the dummy swinging behind.

I was given the task of taking over an association website that some previous fool had signed up to this rip-off organisation. Yet another do-gooder that knows better than the professional! Trying to explain that the previous account holder had passed away and we were working with very little information just constantly fell on deaf ears. After 3 hours of persistence and going through page after page of information left behind, we eventually found the access code to get into the account independently of their so called award winning help desk. All we want to do is switch the dns to point to a new website. Does their system offer this? NO! Best you can do is put a re-direct on. But then that fails as well and DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY!

Chess is a amateurish disaster.

We've been using Chess for many years

We've been using Chess for many years, and they've always been incredibly professional to work with. Our current Account Manager, Gareth—who’s the only one I can recall over the years—has been fantastic at handling anything we’ve thrown his way. I’d definitely recommend Chess to anyone looking to have their mobile contracts well managed.
