I had a problem making a call last week; the call simply wouldn’t go through. Today, I called customer support and spoke with Chris, who provided excellent assistance. He swiftly solved my problem and was very knowledgeable. I also received excellent care from him. He guided me on how to send credit, invite friends and family, and more—things I didn’t know before. It was a fantastic experience. Thank you, Chris, for your great service.

Thanks to CHRIS for Excellent Customer Service

When I had difficulty topping up, the problem was resolved by CHRIS who, over a few returned calls as promised, gave EXCELLENT SERVICE.
When he said that he would call back, he did so until the Technical Team he called resolved the issue.
CHRIS is to be commended for his FRIENDLY, POLITE and HIGHLY EFFICIENT service. I was very impressed by the way he followed progress right up to solution.
TESCO Custromer Service was excellent in my opinion. If only some other online companies could follow their example, we'd live in a happier world...

Superb customer service

My calling credit of around £25 had expired as I missed topping up the account every 180 days. Their very helpful agent Rizwan reinstated the full balance and extended the expiry date!
