DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS GUYS

DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE GUYS
Make sure you don't make my mistake, They have Three and Fonehouse have orchestrated a disgraceful scheme whereby all contracts that include devices continue to be charged at an additional rate after the device repayment period ends, unless customers actively cancel the contract rather than allowing it to continue on a rolling monthly basis. This appears to have been premeditated, as it is included in the Terms and Conditions they rely on to refuse refunds of the money they have wrongly collected. And stop the bullshit with your silly reply with: " we are sorry, bla bla, we cannot retrieve details of your problem as my reference number / contractis in the review

Website crashed but Calum saved the day

Website crashed as my upfront payment processing resulting in the payment pending but order not going through. Very frustrating as entering your details is a lengthy process.

Thankfully though I rang up and Calum saved the day by going through the process on phone

Thank you Fonehouse Harpenden

Thank you Fonehouse, Harpenden for the excellent advice and customer service you provided regarding a problem I had with my mobile phone battery.
