Phonely - highly recommended

The whole process of switching the phone to digital was painless and very efficient. Comms were superb. A query I had was answered promptly by Abbey without having to hang on the phone all day.

Laura has the patience of Jove!

Laura has the patience of Jove!
I discovered that the call blocking on my existing DECT system was rejecting all unlisted callers because the pass number that needs to be entered by these callers was no longer being accepted. Therefore I've had to disable it, but am confident that the Phonely call screening will deal with most of the unwanted calls.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Stephen.

We're delighted to hear that Laura was able to help and provide the patience and support you needed while troubleshooting your call blocking setup. Technology can sometimes throw up unexpected challenges, so it's great that you were able to identify the issue with your DECT system.

We're pleased you've chosen to rely on Phonely's call screening, and we're confident it will help reduce unwanted calls while ensuring important callers can still get through.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and for your trust in Phonely.

Excellent customer service

I recently signed up with Phonely. Customer service and keeping me informed has been excellent. Today was my switchover day and there was a slight technical problem. I was able to get through within a couple of minutes and two call handlers- Laura and Katie, were professional, patient and extremely helpful - no being passed to different departments- and the problem was soon solved. So far can only praise the service I have received.
