Great service and kept informed at all stages. They even called to say a colour wasn’t on stock and gave us the option of a different colour for next day delivery.

Great service

Great service, they don't waste your time, very clear for what they need when applying for a monthly plan, also better offers than going straight to the mobile network company, pretty good on time delivery... thanks!

Probably a scam

Probably a scam, definitely a waste of time. I applied for a phone (s22 5g) got accepted, was sent a phone and simcard, phone didn't work. Was told I had to pay for the return but would be reimbursed (I'm still waiting). After having to call myself because nobody contacted me, they informed me the handset is no longer in stock and I'd have to cancel the order and start a new one. Took them a week to cancel the order. finally got around to reapplying, they went through the system, took a second £2.50 processing payment that I'm still waiting to be returned, only to tell me I've been refused the second time around. Checked things out and I've been informed my credit score has been knocked down due to this companies weird possibly illegal actions. avoid at all costs

iPhone 16 pro max supplier mistake

iPhone 16 pro max supplier mistake

I ordered through Metrofone as they came up on USwitch as the cheapest 2 year cost. They are a joke. Zero communication, then when I got hold of them they said my colour of phone choice (black) was out of stock for atleast a few weeks.

They had not contacted me I called them. They then agreed to swap the colour to silver and it arrived 2 days later.

Since then iMessage and FaceTime don’t work as they ported the number incorrectly, Vodafone won’t help as it’s through Metrofone. Apple confirm it’s a supplier error not a hardware one.

I would only buy direct from the carriers moving forward as these middlemen remove all assistance you would normally get.

Helpful staff

I was able to speak to a member of staff quickly and Amiee was really helpful. My query was about not being able to unlock my phone.
