New Phone Contract

David at the Porthmadog shop has been on this occasion, as he always is, extremely helpful and committed to looking after his customers.
He is extremely competent and good at explaining things in a fast-moving ever-changing environment. I always recommend him when I get the chance

Please be aware when you upgrade your…

Please be aware when you upgrade your phone that although “Get connected “ state on their website that you have 14 days to change your mind for whatever reason, this is not in face the case. I was allegedly told that there was a no returns policy and somewhere on the paperwork that I didn’t scrutinise word for word before signing, it said the same. I don’t think I am the only one getting caught out in this way, I feel I was mis sold.

I don’t think it is good practice or fair to have conflicting policies within the same company. Please beware if upgrading in these smaller businesses as the customer is certainly not viewed as “always right”.

Hello Ms Pugh,
Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to read that you were not happy with your experience in store.
As stated to you, unfortunately, there is a no returns policy as stated on the paperwork you signed and as advised to you in store.
We did try to offer you a variety of different options to try and find a solution and unfortunately you declined.
We are sorry we could not help you on this occasion.

Excellent Service, I would recommend.

I wanted to change my mobile and the Manager in the Porthmadog Branch, was very helpful and explained all the options. When I made my decision he transferred everything from my old phone to the new. I was treated with patience and courtesy and was assured if I need any further advice he was there to help.

Matt in the Ludlow branch was fantastic yesterday. After dropping my phone into water and then not able to do anything with it because the screen and back of the phone was cracked beyond worthwhile repair he set up a new phone and migrated all of my info across despite me not being able to remember a single password or PIN number and all done without making me feel stupid! Can’t rate the excellent service highly enough.

Excellent service

David always gives a clear guidance and assistance. I'm grateful that he does so through the medium of Welsh. I'm a novice when it comes to dealing with technology but I never feel awkward to call in and ask for any help.
He is smartly dress, pleasant in his manner and takes his times to explain and ensure that I understand how to use my phone. David is a credit to your company.

Always excellent reliable service

Jack at the Leominster branch can always be relied on to provide an extremely helpful, friendly and professional service.
I needed advice on an upgrade and he explained clearly the best option for my needs and use and set this up for me.
It is so reassuring to know that I can rely on Jack to resolve any issues I may have. Highly recommend!

Making two older people very happy.

Changing our contract was made so much easier with the help of David at the Porthmadog store. I am in my late 60's and don't really understand how phones work today, he explained & helped me so much. He is a credit to the company and my husband & myself need be able to go and see someone who can understand our frailties in this mad world. Please carry on the good work.

Abused by store manager

I represent a vulnerable 88 year old, on his behalf I sourced a pay as you go mobile from Get Connected in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. The handset was overpriced compared to other retailers of the same unit but the gentleman was prepared to pay extra for same day set up and point of contact in a store. However, there were issues with the handset which rendered it no good so a refund of £120 was promised. The store manager was unable to replace the unit into the box properly and was responsible for the box being damaged but said the refund was being processed. When I phoned a few days later to report the refund had not been received, I was told to go to the shop and collect the phone as the refund was now not being issued because the box was damaged. On entering the store he shouted and swore at me in a very aggressive tone and banged the phone down on the counter shouting "there's your F'ing phone, now F off out of my shop" (full swear words used). I refused to be bullied out of the store even though I was by now shocked and intimidated so he threatened to lock me in! I pointed out that's false imprisonment! Members of the public gathered and the police were called. Long story short, I had to repeatedly ask Head office for refund and drive to another town to take the phone back as the branch I had been dealing with now closed. I was not refunded for fuel and received no apology for being threatened and abused on their premises by their staff. Absolutely appalling response to an 88 year old man being ripped off and a lone 60 year old woman being abused. They should rebrand themselves GET CONNED. Dreadful company, do not trust them. The response to my review is that a staff member from next door disputes my account. I am taking legal advice about this and have several witnesses who heard him booming swear words at me. I will not accept their response as it is not true. I urged them to view their cctv but conveniently it’s not working and they said there could be no investigation- I myself will now visit store staff in neighbouring stores but it is disgraceful that my integrity is being attacked after having already been abused and received no apology. I am in contact with our MP, that’s how strongly I feel about this and it reinforces that they are not an honest company

Hello Ms Harper,
Thank you for your review, we are sorry to read that you are still unhappy about your experience.

As we have advised you, we were unable to investigate your complaint with the Manager in question as he had unfortunately left the business of his own accord due to the incident. We did speak to a neighbouring business owner who witnessed the majority of it and that person unfortunately did not agree with your assessment of the situation.

We did however, as you state, agree to the full refund of the device (despite the damage) which was done totally as a gesture of goodwill in an effort to find some common ground.

As stated, we are sorry to read that you are still not happy, but we do wish you all the best for the future.

One of the most helpful people I have come across. I had a problem with my phone on holiday in Lampeter. Called into the shop not far from closing time but Karl went out of his way to help me and solved the problem. Thank you. Jean Chinn MBE

So I was having problems with my phone for a while and knew I would need a new phone and my contact was up.
The very Nice young lady called Lauren in Port Talbot helped me and found me a contact which I was very happy with and also set up my new phone because I am not vey good at this stuff she stayed late to get it done as I couldn’t remember a lot of passwords which took even longer.

She was so helpful throughout she did stuff so I could have everything from old phone to new one which I would never been able to do.

I will be back there when my contract ends.
