Sanna was awesome

I was having difficulties trying to top up my account. Out of frustration I decided to close and delete my account but Sanna called me. I explained my situation. She is a very good listener, knowledgeable and very patient. In no time she managed to resolve my issue 💛

I got the extra terrestrial help from Catherine which was way above my expectations from the situation or trouble l had. My banking system could approve but not allow Tesco International calling get the amount for my airtime recharge. With all the efforts of calling and speaking to 3 individuals from different departments no help was delivered and they kept on telling me to call Tesco International calling. I did so and the same person who assisted me answered the call and gave me the alternative way of recharging which has allowed me to rest instead of walking to nearby shops now l have airtime to call my beloved family who have been missing me for the past 2 days because of inconvenience from my banking system. Tesco International calling also managed to do a £3 recharge for me which confirms that their side everything is proper so what a blessing

Credit expires too quickly but the Cust service is great

Tesco credit should not really expire in 6m as calling cards are not used as much now. Rang Teso and Sanna R was amazing. Quickly sorted the issue out and cheerful while sorting this.
