Superfast & easy as 123 well done ;) (new contract + next day phone delivery)

On 23rd of March I placed an order and immediately cancelled it after realising handset was a bit bigger in size. But the customer service person said it had been already dispatched, so therefore you will have to return the handset and then will do cancelletion. Next day I expected the delivery but never turned up. Cheked tracking in DPD it is on way back to Mobilephones Direct. Later on I realised my simcard is dead as the network (O2) already executed the number transfer, since then Im without phone until now. Next day I placed second order but they blocked it with excuse of other order has not been closed/cancelled. I made number of fruitless phone calls. On 30th of March I received email from them that they received the handset back and on process of cancellation. I called them on 3rd of April and was told that it may take another 2/3 days. Yesterday I realised O2 charged me £40 (first bill). And today rang Mobilephones Direct but hung up on me twice. On third attempt I asked her not to cut me off and update about my cancellation. She said still waiting reply from o2 but she has no record of email sent to o2. When I call o2, o2 says they have not received any emails. I do not know why I deserve this? I have been without phone for over two weeks. All I need from them is Pac code so that i can keep my age old number. And it may take one email to O2 to get that, and it seems they are not interested...... Lifetime experience.........let's see how it ends

I was told on phone to claim by end of August for my first bill generated. First I was told to submit June bill by end of August for myself and my wife. I just did on 2nd August and both were rejected. Called customer service again and been on hold for last 25 minutes! Never again. Beware of Cashback scams they run and do not trust what they advice on phone. If it helps your call quality team, I was told: my first claim should be for the bill of June and that gave me 2 months i.e. till end of August to submit my claim. I only found out when I tried to make a claim that it should be May bill, not June bill. I haven't heard anything back yet so am not sure who is going to get in touch and when.

Do not give your credit card or debit details, company like this pass information to other fraud agencies out there like UK mobile contact, if your a victim call Action fraud free.

Terrible company, first of all I received my sim over a week late, then when trying to claim cash back they originally stated over the phone this was done in one instalment after having the contract for a stated amount of time, then when I go to claim this I am told it has to be done on set months in your contract and if you miss it you lose your money.

Quite possibly the worst customer service Ive came across, half way through delivering my "next day" handset they requested the courier return to sender. Then lied about actioning such request and tried to blame it on DPD. I wouldnt bother with them again.
