Tescomobile Reviews 

For the last 3 months I’ve had virtually no signal strength apart from one bar , tried to contact Tesco mobile today couldn’t get through to anyone so I tried to send a message to the virtual assistant who responded with sorry I didn’t quite catch that . Lol pathetic

I went into Tesco store to seek help with phone. I waited 40 mins then walked out. Only one person serving. I'll find another provider.

I have a new mobile phone contract with a sim that has not worked for days. Keep getting told a different story every time I call customer service. It appears I cant even cancel the contract without the sim being active. This was meant to be my sons first phone which he was very excited about but now very disappointed as am I that I cant even cancel it.

I wouldn’t even give these lot 1 they are the most rubbish service provider you could ever go with, please guys don’t make the mistake to go with Tesco mobile

Following messages from Tesco mobile to transfer from a Pay as you Go 3G SIM to a 4G one, the process has been nothing short of excruciating and is not fully resolved as we speak. Went into my local Tesco Mobile store to do this, and bought a new 4G phone at the same time. 24hrs later (Sat) the transfer of number had not happened so I rang Customer Care who advised me that the store manager had messed up with the number transfer. The agent sorted it out and said there would be no more problems. What he didn't tell me was that week- end didn't count in the 24hr turnaround. 4 days later and 2 further phone calls, the number has transferred, but not my existing credit. A further phone call revealed that the credit balance transfer 24 hours later. I can't top up because the system is still not recognising my old number, so I can receive but not send. This has all the hallmarks of amateurs trying be professional and failing dismally. I dedicate the one-star awarded to the helpful customer care agents who do the best they can but are hamstrung by an inadequate set up - not their fault.
I don't think Tesco read the negative feedback as I don't see any responses from them to other poor reviews. Tells you everything you need to know!

I called Tesco Mobile for advice on switching my sim following an upgrade. I spent 45-60 minutes with an operator trying to switch my old number to the new sim card and luckily the call operator was unable to help. He also advised I had two contracts which should be merged which was not the case so this was the second piece of advice not required.

I then called again and spoke with someone else who simply advised I needed to put my old sim in the new phone and it would automatically work which it did. The first call was clearly a shambles and handled as such.

My mother was paying over the odds for a Vodafone contract she did not need (over £40 for a 50gb data contract for someone who barely turns the phone on!)

I tried to help her move to tesco mobile having been a customer for 13/14 years but it has been such a nightmare im cancelling my own contracts

Phone arrived (delayed) but they would not activate the SIM, she kept being told "wait 24 hours" for days on end. She didn't know what to do until i did a 100 mile round trip to see her and they tried to tell me the local mast was down (despite being on a tesco mobile myself with full signal)
We eventually arranged a return that did not happen I cannot work out why because despite them acknowledging the live chat arranged it - they did not do it - we checked on livechat twice at the time after being given different dates but apparently its OUR fault because they didnt give a reference or do the collection - claiming it wasnt logged at all, and wanting me to make a further trip to be there with her to arrange e a collection again ...despite me having screenshots and later confirming they saw in the live chat it was!

My mother lives probably a 100 mile round trip away and being elderly she just does not understand whats going on, they now refuse to speak to me and expect me to take another 100 mile round trip to try and make a phonecall to get anywhere.
My mother is now having to see a doctor about high blood pressure and stress caused by this!

Tesco mobile support is dreadful, sending out invalid password reset links, appalling call waiting times

Absolute terrible service and incorrect information provided.

visited on Saturday to buy a new phone. Only one sales assistant present. Customers walked in, walked out as assistant was with me for about an hour. She did her best. I bought her flowers as she looked so unhappy. Somebody else should have been on duty but he was on a break.

Luckily i don't make calls often, but literally every call has at least a glitch or a disconnection. Coverage is terrible. I cant get through to customer services. It doesnt even ring. Texting for my PAC doesnt work to change network. If i toggle flight mode, miraculously it all works fine for a couple of minutes then back the same. Avoid.

I ordered a SIM card and waited more than 2 weeks while being told every day that it'll "arrive by 6pm" while also being told it'll be sent by 3 different courier services. Have just been told today it was never posted and they have no idea why. I've now ordered a SIM card with ThreeUK at NO COST and it's due to arrive tomorrow. Do yourself a favour and opt in for a real phone provider.

Asked if they could meet an offer on another company and was to it would be better for me to switch. I switched for both myself and my wife. When I tried to get a refund on my credit I was told that I had to know exactly how much and could find it on 4488 or my online account. 4488 will not ring because I have switched and we have never had an online account as it was PAYG and just rang up when we needed a top up. I was told it was for Data protection and could not proceed, so they just stole our money.

As mentioned by others too many issues to detail. We had issues with 2 new phones which took weeks to sort out, multiple trip to the local store who were appalling & multiple phone calls to customer support. Promises of return calls, which didn't happen. Mobile data is unusable at present because of issues in the local area & we were told to use WiFi, but we're paying for mobile data!!! Multiple phone calls, trip to local store, days without service & mobile data still poor to unusable & they added £30 credit to the account.

Had to speak to custormer service. they where less than usless and blamed it all on me. They was so rude how tesco mobile is still going I will never know. I have been with them for years and always been loyal, well no more time to move on. I suggest you do the same if you have any thoughts of using them. so sorry Tesco Mobile but you really should connect with your customers better

Absolutely useless such a shame as price for contract would be good. Phone 3 times couldn't open me a business account only wanted me to do personal then take payment from a business account which is not legal from HMRC - .
Tried opening online could not find my address so failed. customer service non English spoken, barely understandable and didn't understand me.

By far the worst customer service I have ever encountered. If you’re “lucky” enough to be put through to their back house support team, good luck trying to decipher their appallingly written messages. Spent nearly 4 weeks and several wasted hours trying to fix a very simple problem with these characters. Please take my advice and avoid their mobile network at all costs.

Oh dear Tesco. I've been with you for many years because you had an intelligent UK call centre. I haven't had to speak to you for years until now. I discovered you've outsourced your call centre to Capita and even worse, it's now offshore. The whole world knows that's a recipe for crap service and disgruntled customers. All to save money and keep the shareholders happy. To add insult to injury your web site is wrong/confusing so I was forced to ring 4455. I wanted to change my monthly SIM- only rolling contract to a 24 month one to save a £quid. Web site says " to change your Pay Monthly tariff ring 4455." So I did and went through all the ID rigmarole (I understand why), Only to be told I should be talking to Sales 0n 4422 not Customer Care on 4455. Who's bloody fault is it that I rang the wrong number????? Had to go through more ID stuff AGAIN to eventually get what I wanted. AND the only reason I braved the phone was because doing it on the web site clearly would have resulted in the wrong thing. I logged in and chose my new tariff but it then wanted a payment. Uh oh I thought. I already pay by DD so smelled a rat. I abandoned my online journey and reluctantly resorted to the phone. Of course I was right. My DD would continue as usual on same day but just for the new £ amount. No upfront payment required of course.
TESCO MARKETING (you people with the coloured crayons)- GET YOUR WEB TEAM SORTED AND TRY TESTING SCENARIOS AND OUTCOMES. AND KNOW YOUR PHONE NUMBERS. You're paying Capita for unnecessary calls. Why can't large corporates nowadays organise a p *** up in a brewery. Maybe it's the know-it-all Gen Z's and millennials. They just don't care. Or maybe the employer treats them like dirt so this is their revenge. Sadly the product managers and Marketing probably don't even bother reading these reviews and I've just wasted my time trying to help improve things.

Been with Tesco Mobile for 20 years plus and the customer service used to be top notch…sadly they’ve gone downhill rapidly, dreadful customer service and product knowledge.

Tesco mobile appears to have an email address, but they’re not sharing it with anyone.
I have an issue with Tesco mobile and I want to contact them via email. I find that talking with someone via the phone I feel intimidated, and something gets lost in between.
In searching for Tesco mobile’s customer service email address I found this, quote:
“Email us. If you send us an email we will get back to you on your query within 48 hours.”
But if they are hiding their email address, then how is it possible to send them an email? It’s impossible?

It should also be impossible for me to connect to the Internet - according to them. They tell me that my iPhone runs on a 3G network, and that access to the internet is no longer possible. Both are wrong. My iPhone runs on 4G network and has no problem connecting to the internet.
It is that which I wish to email Tesco mobile about. But as I cannot email them, then I shall block all text messages from them. Because I do not need their silly text messages.
