Dial a phone

Answer??????? The Nokia 3310 I bought from Dialaphone! I’ve never really been into mobile phones. I had the outlook that if someone wants to get hold of me, they can call me at home or at work. I really only had one in case of emergencies. However, they seem to be getting cheaper and cheaper to own, and that is what prompted me to get one. *** Where do you buy your mobile from? *** The most common way of buying a mobile is probably via a ...
...You can browse the range, talk to a so-called expert about the features and tariffs, and supposedly walk away with the best deal. Another option is a supermarket……. you may not get the technical support but the phones are a lot cheaper – although you are limited to pay-as-you-talk phones. The other option is the one that I am going to be talking about, which is through a mail/internet order company. *** Who are Dialaphone? *** ...

Review of Dial a phone

My story is one of worry and joy. I was worried because I'd heard somewhere before that companies like this never actually give you what they say they will. The reviews here on Ciao are very mixed. Either people have had very good or very bad experiences with them. There seems to be little in-between. That’s understandable though I suppose because they either do what they say they will, or they don't. In my case, the joy previously mentioned ...

Review of Dial a phone

Where do I start? I guess the beginning is the best place, so here goes …………………………. It was a quiet night in, eyes glued to the computer, all the housework done and children sleeping happily away, then ……………………… my mobile phone rings. I had no clues as to who would be on the other end of the phone, my guess is yet another ploy to sell something to me, and so my advice from experience would be to keep all contact numbers as private as possible. How ...
...greeted by a man, he did leave his name but for some reason it escapes me, and perhaps he did say what company he was calling from but to my knowledge I can not recall it happening. Any way the reason he called was because of a survey I had filled in over the internet, it was some to do with WAP phones, and he thought that I would be interested in on of there phone packages that would also include a WAP enabled phone. Like he said, as he had contacted ...

Review of Dial a phone

...every person you recommend to dial a phone you receive £20. I’ve recommended 2 people so far and have had £40 paid directly into my bank account! All you have to do is tell the person ordering to give your name and mobile number when they order. There is no limit to the number of people you can recommend. BAD POINTS Shortly after receiving my phone I received a text message telling me to call customer services. I thought this was maybe something ...
...something else important but I was wrong. I called the number and was asked if everything was alright with my phone and if I had managed to figure out all of the functions. Then I was asked if I wanted to pay an extra £2 per month so I could have a handset upgrade after 12 months…..no thank you was my reply! Their argument was that if I wanted a new handset then I would have to order a new package and change numbers, I informed them that I ...

Review of Dial a phone

I was attracted to using Dial-A-Phone from seeing their adverts in the press and thinking that the offers sounded better than anything else I could get. I was in the market for a new phone, so I called them and got straight through. The chap on the end of the line took my details and advised that they could deliver a phone to me in two days time. I would be at work on that day, so I asked if the phone could be delivered there. He said it could but ...
...copy of my work headed notepaper, and he advised me that I would need to sign for the phone and show ID, and that I was the only person who could sign for it. The following day I faxed through the headed notepaper, and called them to confirm that they had received it, which they had, and they confirmed that the phone would be delivered to me at work the next day. The following day I waited in all day at work, not even daring to leave the office ...

...purchsed by mobile phone from Dial A Phone a few months ago. The phone I purchased was the new nokia 8310. At the time, many places were offering the phone free of charge, but Dial A Phone charged me £50.00 for the phone. However, they gave me a hands free kit, free accessory set and 3 months free insurance. The reason why I processed the deal with Dial A Phone was because their insurance rates were a lot lower than everywhere else. They only charge ...

I was a customer service advisor but I was very rarely able to help customers because we don't have any control over their mobile phone. All is we were was a referal and compliants service. I took about 100 calls per day and about 90% of them were complaints saying how unhelpful we were and ...

Review of Dial a phone

I wanted to myself come and warn others about this shoddy company, but it appears as though I am not the first person to do this! I recently tried to order my third phone from dialaphone. The first two I must say went off relatively without a hitch (long story about them getting my gender wrong and refusing to speak to me cos I wasn't a Mr, but that's something else!). Anyway, I thought, they're not so bad so I gave them another chance and ordered ...
...ordered it on Friday so I could be in on Saturday morning to collect my phone between 8 and 12:30. Hurrah, I thought. That was easy. If only I had known. At 11am on the Saturday I had been waiting up for 3 hours, dressed, when I had a phone call saying the phone wasn't coming. Apparently because I had put my middle initial and not my middle name when filling in the form, the credit check could not go through. I expressed my disappointment and decided ...

Review of Dial a phone

I have noticed Dial-a-phone getting only rave reviews here and would like to send out a *warning* to balance things a little. I responded to the "FREE" phone/"FREE" everything advert placed in the papers by Dial-a-phone, obviously attracted to the idea of having my mobile in my hand and operational the next day, without having to pay a penny. I agree that the service received from Dial-a-phone was good, however I have had nothing but problems with ...

On receipt of my first bill I saw they were in fact treated as std landline numbers and I was not charged for my calls to my international call-card ...

Well, If you do want a brand spanking new mobile phone, then I recommend you check out the very marvellous Dial-a-phone.... If you haven't seen any part of dial-a-phone's vast advertising campaign, then you surely have been living on mars for the past few months.

I read in uk.telecom.mobile about a brilliant offer Dial-a-phone were doing, where they would pay the entire year's contract for you. They also offered £20 to connect a second phone. I was slightly sceptical but wanted to give it a go. The offer was for a Nokia 5110 on Orange Everyday 50. I phoned the order through, it takes a while so it's a good thing it's an 0800 number. (Internet orders are possible, I've not tried this.) The phones arrived next ...
...for some reason. You get 3 months' free insurance with almost all Dial-a-phone packages, which takes a few minutes to cancel at the end of the free period. It's an expensive premium compared to that offered by the Link, I wouldn't go for it even if I wanted insurance. The £20 offered to me arrived in my bank account a couple of months after I bought the phone; I was not terribly impressed by this, but it was free money so I wasn't bothered either. ...
