Get connected Treorchy branch

After failing everywhere to get an iPhone 12 in white for my daughter as a Christmas present, out of desperation I rang Get Connected in Treorchy. Within 10 minutes, Jess rang me back and said she could get me one with the same deal as other major operators.
Absolutely excellent service and nothing was too much trouble for Jess. She is a credit to the company!
Would definitely recommend Get Connected and will return in the future 👍🏻

Rebecca in your Aberystwyth branch…

Rebecca in your Aberystwyth branch severed myself and my daughter on Tuesday 4th of January. She was a delight to deal with. Friendly, clear and very helpful. I hope her bosses get to read this as she is a credit to your company. Will definitely be back when my phone is due for renewal. Thank you again Rebecca!

Thank you for the excellent service…

Thank you for the excellent service (Ryan from get connected in Tonypandy, Rhondda). I was very impressed by the efficient, friendly and prompt service when I bought my new iPhone in November.

I would definitely purchase another phone in the future from get connected :-)

Geoff is the best!

I have to say thankyou so much to Geoff in Bridgnorth. I came in yesterday with my mother and he was absolutely outstanding with helping my mother with her new phone! He was so kind and sweet and did everything possible to make sure we were happy when we left! Thankyou Geoff and we will be back in soon! Claire x

Tommy (Church Stretton, Shropshire) helped us change our network from EE to Vodafone which was cheaper. He also went that extra mile for me to transfer all my data. Would recommend him to anyone.

Amazing service today at the Newport

Amazing service today at the Newport, Shropshire store. Ian was a legend and sorted me out with two new contracts that even managed to save me money for what I was paying just for one. For a true technophobe, he ran through everything and set up the new phones. No hard sell in sight, just customer focused at all times.

Go Direct to Service Provider, you'll get contracts cheaper.I had used Get Connected for years

I had used Get Connected for years, even though I knew I could get a cheaper contract if I went direct to the Service Provider. But the latest they have totally shafted me on a contract I never asked for. I did ask for the contract to be cancelled, unfortunately it was outside the 14 days, as I didn't know I had a problem with the phone until I received emails from people saying they'd been trying to contact me. Plus a phone they knew I had to send back to the Service Provider (So I could my PAC number) and they've been informed via a copy of a Webchat that it's down to Get Connected to chase to get the phone back to them and not me.

Reply from Get Connected

Hi Ms Spencer-Smith, unfortunately you did not ask to cancel the contract within the cooling off period and you also sent the handset we provided you with to a different company. Whilst we can understand it is frustrating for you now you have taken another contract out with a different provider before cancelling this one, we were unable to do anything to help you on this occasion. With regards to the advice you say you have received, we would recommend you take advice from your local Trading Standards Office. We are sorry to lose any future custom from you and wish you all the best for the future.

Jonah helped me today

Jonah helped me today. I will definitely be back when I’m eligible for an upgrade. A very pleasant young man who was very knowledgeable and didn’t use jargon to confuse me like I’ve found in other shops. Thank you! I’ll be back
