Fone World, Dorchester, excellent service

We went to the Dorchester branch of FoneWorld for a Pay as you Go emergency phone. We had excellent, helpful & patient service from Nick, the manager, with assistance from Omar. The phone was kindly set up for us. Thank you. Glad we went there.

Fone World Queen Street Oxford - fantastic service and showed!!

Hats off to Krishna for stellar service managing to rescue my mums precious memories from her defunct phone. Krishna fixed the old phone and miraculously and painstakingly transferred the data onto the new phone, way past his going home time- we are so grateful. We will highly recommend him to others 😊👍.

Amazing service!

Krishen in the Oxford store was superb!! He spent several hours arranging and setting up my parents phone and even registering them with a different network provider. He is a huge asset to the company! I would thoroughly recommend the store to anyone needing technical assistance and advice.

Look around first and read reviews

I only bought a charger for £25 today in Derby branch. It was certainly more than expected to pay as I’d only paid about £10 on Amazon in the past. However I was given a 1 year verbal guarantee that I would get it replaced. Disappointed by nothing in writing to substantiate this.
I’m only posting this review as I noticed a third of reviews got 1 star so I suggest all customers look around before committing themselves to any purchases.
PS It will be interesting to see if they keep their word regarding guarantee if anything goes wrong in the next 12 months!

This business doesn’t deserve 1*

Merryhill store. This business doesn’t deserve 1*! So on Friday 6th December I brought a iPhone 13 Pro Max (no price advertised) ok we negotiated the price that suited us both which was fine. I then had second thoughts because the battery health was poor which then the worker had agreed to replace the battery which I was happy about. I returned after 10 minutes. The worker was still working on it. then he came out and then advised me that the screen had been replaced also which he failed to telling me that before I made the payment for the phone when I got home I noticed not only was the screen repaired but also the camera was also replaced. Two days later, I had to return the phone because the phone screen was damaged by green pixels which means that the screen was replaced incorrectly. I then had to go out of my way to go to the store after work When I went back they just made a excuses like the phone was dropped when there was no damage on the screen at all. Trying to put the blame on myself. I wasn’t having any of it and I demanded a refund and I got the refund back. This shop will sell you a phone make out. It’s in good condition when secretly there’s been many repairs on the phone and they fail to inform the customer on this.

DO NOT GO HERE


(Merry Hill & Solihull Store) Took my phone here to merry hill store to get the screen replaced as it had cracked, was charged £80 so paid it. Seemed fine for 10 minutes after getting it back, once we left merry hill on a saturday afternoon (rush hour) to head back to home (an hour away) it came to my attention that the screen was raised higher then it should’ve been and the lightning of the screen was pink. I called a friend and the phone started pushing buttons by itself, ending the phone and dialling random numbers? Since we were on the way back at this point, we stopped at touchwood shopping centre and spoke to the guys there, they explained they can’t refund it after “speaking to someone on the phone” don’t think they spoke to anyone actually and they were just waffling. Apparently the stores aren’t connected and they were really slagging off merry hill store. Fair enough they can’t refund it but admitted to having other customers go in there who had problems from merry hill also, and they replaced there issues for free, but we’re going to charge us £45? We then said we would go and speak to the apple store, and they were really pushy, trying to make us get it replaced there, not sure if it’s because we are young but we wasn’t going to fall under the hands of liars. I now have to go elsewhere and pay another £100 to get it fixed as there is no possible way I can get back to merry hill due to living an hour away.

Solihull - fast and good value repair

My son noticed part of his iPhone screen wasn't responding properly while we were out in Solihull. Apple wanted over £150 to look at it (the phone's probably not worth that), and couldn't do it there-and-then.

Went round the corner to Fone World and they fixed it in half-an-hour for less than half what Apple wanted, and threw in a screen protector to try and make sure it didn't get damaged again.

Zaman in Bath Fone world is amazing!

Zaman in Bath Fone world is amazing!
My wifi chip had come loose in my laptop. I was hesitant to leave it with anyone. Zaman opened my laptop in front of us straight away, fixed the issue and gave my laptop an internal clean- all for no charge. He was friendly and patient and answered all of my questions!
I cannot thank you enough, thank you Zaman!

I took my daughter's iphone 8 to Braknell branche to check it for a not charging issue ..they kept the phone for two weeks never phonet back to let me know what the issue is. So I went in an collect it ,straight after I went to another shop repair, they straight way did noticed screws missing ,battery not contacted and loose rattling, a part missing,,so I took my phone back to them and explained all the issues they had caused. One of the guys who does repairs he took the missing parts from another phone and replaced it ..when all the was done he did not even apologised, here is your phone and off you go,,,,unfortunately very bad experience with Bracknell branch
