“WILL NEVER USE DIALAPHONE AGAIN”

Visit www.dialaphone.co.uk

My experience with dialaphone has been the worst customer experience I've ever had to endure. There is a serious lack of communication on their part and their phone system is terrible, it's almost impossible to speak to a human. I signed up for a 20.50 panther tariff, just had a letter from Orange saying I'm on a £26 a month tariff. As a student, £6 a month extra is not something I can afford to pay. It also seems as though they LIE or overexaggerate as I was promised a £60 refund of the initial...

“Just don't buy anything from them!”

Visit www.dialaphone.co.uk

We bought a phone contract from them with a free TV. The phone arrived next day but after the 28 days specified there was still no TV. We emailed dialaphone who didn't bother replying. We couldn't get hold of anyone through their expensive automated system. In desperation we pretended we were new customers and got through within 30 seconds! They denied all knowledge that we had a free tv gift and instead insisted we had signed upto £130 cash back. This is definately not the case. Basically dial...

IMPORTANT NOTE. IF YOU DO RETURN YOUR ITEM TO THEM THEY DEDUCT THE TOP-UP WHICH YOU ARE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO KEEP - EXPLAINED AT BOTTOM After buying my mobile it didnt arrive on time as it was a birthday present. So had to go to shop and buy it. So started bad. Then when the phone eventually arrived I organised for its imediate return. There Phone system is a nightmare. Why cant they take lessons from places like first direct that we dont want to spend 5 minutes choosing option after option. Anyway...

I tried ordering a Samsung S2 through their website, at a good price. The first time I had the wrong expiry year for my card. I corrected it and resubmitted twice more. Still rejected. I phoned the bank and found their website had been sending the same wrong date for all three attempts. I get a call from local support the next day to try to sort out the issue (they were polite).

Ordered an iphone 4S on 17th October. It said 2 days until delivery. Still waiting on the 26th. Their call centre line is automated, so its near impossible to get through and keeps hanging up on you.

Me too.. I ordered the 16gb white 4s on 18th October. I kept getting the daily message saying it would be delivered the next day.. then again the same thing would happen. I called Dialaphone and they said they are getting more stock on 21st November and that's when it will be sent out :( .. It should state this online when you order the phone! How annoying.

I ordered the iphone 4 on Friday 7th October and I am still waiting October 13th . This would have been fine if the over enthusiastic sales person did not tell me that I should receive it best case, Saturday 8th or worst case Monday 10th. Unfortunately it still has not arrived and when trying to contact dial a phone there is no option to speak to anyone regarding delayed delivery so I had to go through the sales team to put me through. The long and short is that the sales team give you these unrealistic...

I wanted a Galaxy S2 on Orange. I was a bit anxious about ordering it from Dialaphone. They had great prices on the phone and plan but negative reviews on the Internet made me a bit concerned about the service level I could expect. My order was processed quickly and efficiently. They have a comprehensive online customer service web site which helps a great deal for tracking order progress. On both occasions I spoke with them on the phone I was attended quickly and ably (I did press the option for...

“Terrible Customer Service”

Visit www.dialaphone.co.uk

Ordered on a saturday, turned up on a tuesday. Good phone, good price, free laptop, everything ok. AND THEN - the speaker on the phone broke so you cant hear the call, an O2 technician in the o2 shop confirmed it was a fault. O2 would not repair or swap the phone, as it was bought through dial a phone. DialaPhone do not offer a swap service, they send an envelope, the phone has to be sent off, and in the meantime, you have no phone. Called the insurance company, and they dont offer a replacement...

I am an existing dialaphone customer since Nov 2010 and at the time the overall experience was time consuming and generally not that good.

There is only a message that says "Our records show that your order has been cancelled. Due to data protection, we are unable to provide specific information for...

Visit www.dialaphone.co.uk

Have dealt with this company in the past. It would appear to be a fantastic service up until the point where customer service is required. Then you are treated to a constant loop of automated services. When you eventually log a repair, you are advised they will send out an envelope which you have to take the time to take to a post office to return registered mail. Then, if you're lucky, after three weeks without your handset (and with dialaphone unable to offer a replacement) you will recieve a...

Visit www.dialaphone.co.uk

Quite simply if you can't get the address right on a delivery and your a mail order company,you might as well not bother. I recently ordered an upgrade and where I haven't seen a better offer anywhere else it is apparent that the company cut their costs on the quality of the staff. I had specifically requested the handset to be delivered to a work address, which they did and at the same time set the SIM card to the other side of the country at a billing address I'm rarely present at. I have a phone,...

Effective cost of contarct is £8.80 pcm with 100 mins, 500 texts and 500Mb data. The phone is good - check reviews elsewhere - this is a review of dialaphone. I was VERY sceptical of this offer. Total cost over 18 months will be £160 which was less than the cost of the phone alone at the time! Was concerned...

I ordered the phone on a Thursday evening and was promised delivery the following Monday. I was positively surprised when it arrived Saturday morning by Next Day Special Delivery. The phone is great, however a little bit to heavy for my liking (due to the QWERTY keyboard) so I will switch to another HTC Desire phone, no fault of Dial a Phone though, who offer a...

They send a confirmation of the order with a delivery date and then cancel the order without telling me. "no stock", apparently. Appalling automated customer services telephone number that has more menus than a Chinese takeaway. No way of speaking to a person and get cut off if there isn't an appropriate option. Their website is also appalling, initially adding two £10 top-ups to orders when only one is compulsory, with no way of deleting the second. When new stock arrived, the payment...

I would advise anybody wanting to buy a phone from dial-a-phone to avoid them like the plague. Customer service is inept to say the least, no information is given - I had to make repeadted phone calls to the sales dept to get anywhere - the customer service contact numbers DO NOT WORK!!!, you are NEVER able to speak yo a person!! The order Iplaced was after a full seven days of trying to chase the order cancelled from under me due to as sudden "lack of stock". When I chased them about it the CS...

I was looking for a new contract phone, the Blackberry Curve on O2 with 1000 mins, 750mb internet and unlimited texts all for £35 a month was advertised on dialaphones website. I was pleased with the offer, especially as it came with a free 320gb PS3 (worth nearly £300) I placed my order on the 18th December 2010. I chose to have it delivered to work address on the order form. (on Monday 20th December I was emailed asking for a fax of proof of work address - I did this within an hour)....

When I looked at the reviews at first I was debating to go for it, which I did, and is was the best decision. A great deal, phone service very polite, delivered on the day agreed, no falts at all and i was able to use the phone Immediately which was great. No hassle, No fuss, would strongly recomend it to one of my friends and will deffinatly use dial a phone again for my next contract. PS: All the bad reviews are from people that didnt get the service they wanted and that is a small portion...

Visit www.dialaphone.co.uk

I am so annoyed with dial a phone I would not recommend to anyone. The number of direct debits that are set up against your account is ridiculous! I have just had £17.94 deducted from my account. I knew I had cancelled insurance but this is some kind of gadget support which I wasnt aware I had but had been set up as a standing order. I would not use this company again no matter how much they tell me I can save as I have been charged so many extras which I have received no details of!! I am...
