“Purchased this card for the first time ever(£10)....”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Sincereg148 on 12/03/2018

Purchased this card for the first time ever(£10). When numbers are dialled, it kept repeating "your call cannot be connected" over and over again. Called the customer service and the goon tried pretending that he could not hear what I was saying. Tough it is ten pound, I will, definitely, make the effort to complain to trading standard; and everyone should do the same.

I second you on that!!
I bough a post office calling worth £5. The card stated that I have 60 minutes however the card lasted for only 18 minutes....I called the customer services and I was told someone will call me back to solve the matter but I never heard from anyone. I've been trying to call since without success.
POST OFFICE CALLING CARDS ARE A SHAM! DO NOT BUY THEM!! #BOYCOTT

“Very easy to purchase but absolutely useless. A £5...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 09/05/2011

Very easy to purchase but absolutely useless. A £5 phonecard which normally gives 35 minutes to a Ghanaian mobile phone gave 21 mins. Then would not connect a single call, each attempt took 1 minute from the card. Finally was left with 13 minutes of which 8 were used on an actual call.

8 minutes out of 35? Total rip off

Same problem. I bought £5.00 phonecard today, tried to make a call to China. Never get connect to , , , even though I tried the other two alternatives(which are four numbers on the card) but still can't connect and auto message keep saying please enter the number you want to dial. So I phoned the customer
service but the lady whose answering my call was helpless. She asked me to try the one I haven't used and said she can't do anything now. Then I think that am l lucky got one more number to try and may get connect like she told me....... not luck at all! Wait till tomorrow and try again but never buy those phonecards from Postoffice ever again. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

“I bought the phone card to call my daughter in...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 21/02/2011

I bought the phone card to call my daughter in Spain..9 times out of 10 I could not get through. If I phoned without the card ..you guessed it..I got through. When I phoned the help line I too got fobbed off...someone would ring me within 24 hrs but yep you guessed it again..no one called to help solve the problem.. I WILL NOT BOTHER WASTING ANYMORE MONEY ON THESE CARDS OR THE RUBBISH SERVICE I GOT FROM THE POST OFFICE.I will look elsewhere now...and I work in a post office.! 0/10 for the card -10 /10 for the service p.s had to do a one star rating...it was mandatory!

“Been trying the last hour to ring malaysia. No...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 12/12/2010

Been trying the last hour to ring malaysia. No explanation why the call cannot get through and when I got on the expensive mobile phone the lines were crackly and cut off again with no explanation.
Not going for another card - not even for the free calls.

“I used to be a fan but have swapped as: ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 07/11/2010

I used to be a fan but have swapped as:
1) It didn't even work on the weekend I wanted to call in September
2) The rates are actually higher

Finally, when I called the call centre to ask why I couldn't use the service I struggled to understand what she was saying.

Good bye Post Office

Written on: 03/04/2008

I disagree with this review because... Giving such a poor rating is grossly unfair when there are numerous far worse & more expensive calling cards available on the market.
