Hi there,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I’m deeply sorry that the engineer left without setting up or checking your 86-year-old father’s handsets, leaving him unable to make outgoing calls. I understand how worrying and unacceptable this must have been, particularly if he relies on his phone for support or emergencies. Please contact his service provider urgently, explain his age and circumstances, and ask them to treat the loss of phone service as a priority. They’ll be best placed to complete the Digital Voice setup and arrange further assistance if required. Please accept my sincere apologies for the incomplete setup and the considerable worry caused. ^Abir

Our Openreach engineer was excellent

Our Openreach engineer was excellent. Arrived on time, polite, professional, listened to our concerns before starting to make sure we were happy with the plan. Ensured everything was up and running without errors before leaving.

All carried out with minimum fuss…

The installation was carried out on date agreed, the engineer was both friendly and efficient.
The only glitch was that the cable was not delivered on time so I used the online link to reschedule. When my husband reported the problem it was dealt with efficiently . I would suggest in future you use royal mail and its tracking service rather than Evri.

Hi Joan,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I’m very sorry that you’re still without internet 24 hours after the engineer’s visit. I understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be when you expected to have a working service following the installation. I would request you to please contact your service provider and ask them to urgently check the activation of your service. If they identify an Openreach network fault, they can raise this with us and arrange further support. Please accept my sincere apologies for the ongoing loss of service and inconvenience caused.^Abir

Hi, The engineer rang us first to say he was on his way, once he arrived he was very polite and answered all our questions, he got straight on with the job and didn't stop till he'd finished. Good service.
