Absolutely awful customer service

Absolutely awful experience with Carphone Warehouse.

I upgraded my phone and have all the documentation clearly stating it was an upgrade. However, without my consent or knowledge, they processed it as a completely new contract with my network provider.

I was never informed about this “new contract,” and every piece of information I received from them indicated it was just an upgrade. As a result, I’m now stuck paying for two phone plans, something I only discovered after contacting my provider to ask why my upgraded plan wasn’t showing on my account.

To make matters worse, the customer service has been diabolical. No manager is ever available to speak to, and no one calls you back despite repeated promises.

Completely unacceptable and extremely frustrating. I would strongly advise others to double-check everything and think twice before using Carphone Warehouse.

Upgrade without hassle.

The guy that served me knew what he was talking about and didnt try to give me the hard sell which is usually something that puts me off buying from a company. I appreciated his advice and honesty. Have shopped with carphonewarehouse for years and am happy to continue to do so.

I have been scammed by your call centre…

I have been scammed by your call centre staff and will be taking legal advice. Funds were taken from my husband account and 2 contracts were taken out in our names, thanks to online shopping which doesn't check whether you have the consent form the actual account holder. Bad business, low security and corruption
