Anthony was excellent

Anthony was excellent. An order didn't go through online, and he processed it without any bother. It was a bit complicated because of the student discount and a special offer. He was informative ptaient and friendly. I felt confident and comfortable switching to 3 after over 20 years at Vodafone. Well done, Anthony; you are a credit to your team and thanks so much for your personalised service.

Excellent Customer Service from the Sales Team

I experienced an issue when attempting to place an order on the website, so I have downgraded my rating due to this. However, I spoke to Michael from the sales team who placed the order successfully over the phone with me. He was very helpful and efficient - 5* for customer service!

Inconsistent security checks for similar orders

I recently placed an order for a kids' phone (£12) on my account and it was approved smoothly without any issues, even though I am a visa dependent. However, when my wife placed a similar order for our kids from her account (Order Number: FH02968337), additional security proofing documents were requested. She works full-time, has a proper contract, and meets all criteria, so it felt a bit unnecessary and inconsistent to drag out the verification process for such a small order. I hope Fonehouse can streamline their security process to make it more consistent for families.

Good Morning Noman,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re pleased to hear your own order was approved smoothly, but we’re sorry that your wife’s order required additional verification and caused frustration.

Our security checks are designed to protect our customers and prevent fraudulent activity, but we appreciate that the process can feel inconsistent, particularly when placing similar orders within the same family. We’ll share your feedback with the relevant team as we continue to review and improve our verification process.

We hope the additional checks can be resolved quickly and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
MJ

Excellent deal price over 2 years

Excellent deal price over 2 years with the right amount up front (that I partially funded with an honest trade in deal) and then manageable monthly payments.
