Im a repeat customer

This is the second time ive purchased a phone in 2 years from thus company.

Id like to share how happy I am with both experiences.

2nd purchase, phone arrived next day, it on Three network, and it was the BEST deal around, Even Three themselves couldn't beat this deal.

This deal was for a brand new iPhone 13, every other place I tried was for a reconditioned phone for that money.

An excellent customer experience

It would have been five stars but I had to contact Sales by telephone as the website did not allow a simple contract renewal to be carried out on-line. The Sales-agent (Liam) was friendly and helpful and understood what was required. He explained things clearly and he arranged the renewal very rapidly. An excellent customer experience!

Unacceptable failed delivery

10 minutes before my phone was supposed to be delivered, I got a message saying that at the delivery time (10 minutes into the future) no one answered the door. I was home the whole time. Then I was told it was going to be redelivered 5 days later. My precious contract got cancelled due to the smart switch feature allowing to change phone. This left me without a phone for the best part of a week through no fault of my own

Couldn't understand anything the guy was saying - had to cancel as felt unsure and unsafe. Very hard to communicate.

Further to your reply -
The order was cancelled prior to delivery and I have the receipt of postage for the return.

Recently renewed my mobile contract through Fonehouse. This is the second time I have bought a contract through them. They contacted me towards the end of my first contract and after I researched the market, they offered me a good value contract which I took. Thank you MacKenzie for bearing with me while I decided what was best and which network to go with.
