No SIM for 4 days and counting

My new handset was supposed to be delivered on Friday. DPD failed to do this despite having 3 people in my house at the required time with the PIN number ready to give. They lied about no PIN number being given.

I was sent an email to say that my number would transfer over on Friday afternoon despite me NOT activating the PAC code so I have been without a SIM and therefore no phone calls or texts or use of phone outside of WiFi since Friday 1pm.

I am now on day 4 of no SIM and apparently my handset is being held at the depot. I believe they are sending a verification code via text which I obviously can't receive as I haven't got my new sim in my new handset which is sitting in a depot!

I cannot express to you how disappointed and angry I am at this entire experience. I appreciate that the DPD actions are not your fault but I do not understand why I have been cut off and left with no phone number for 4 days.

Next day delivery took three days with dpd.. Waited in over the weekend (cancelling my plans) for DPD to not show up at all, they couldn't tell me why the driver had marked as missed? right in the middle of my time slot, then when I called to speak to a manger i was told no manager there. Absolutely shocking, they almost made me cancel the whole thing. I suggest using a different courier

Fantastic service

Very good explanation of the various plans and phones available and sold me a phone tailored to my needs and didn’t try to push the most expensive one .. helped keep my plan affordable and suited to my lifestyle. The advisor Joshua was extremely helpful, polite and informative, which is why I keep returning as a customer

Really helpful salesperson.

My son had an issue with his order - the upfront payment had been taken but apparently the order hadn't completed. By the time we chased it up, the deal he'd ordered wasn't available anymore. The sales person we were passed onto, Eitay, called us back at a more convenient time and spent time creating the same deal and making sure the order had gone through. He was really respectful of the fact that my highly anxious son didn't want to speak over the phone - he just did a quick check with him for security purposes. He was a really friendly and helpful person to deal with. Thank you, Eitay!

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
