About Carphone Warehouse:

The Carphone Warehouse was founded in 1989 to bring mobile services to consumers. The market has always been complex and our aim from the very beginning has been to offer our customers simple, impartial advice while also offering outstanding value. As a result we have grown from a handful of stores operating exclusively in the UK selling mobile handsets and contracts, to a European-wide platform of over 1,500 stores in 10 countries, providing a wide range of mobile and residential telecoms services.

I bought a Pay As You GO handset from Carphone warehouse in Dec,2013. It was with Orange network. Pay as you go customers are allowed to upgrade after 6 months of buying their product subject to fulfill the requirements. In this regard, 2 months ago when I contacted with Carphone warehouse customer service, I was told that the number which I gave them was not a valid number. Whereas the sim and set both were sent by Carphone warehouse. Then I went to the High Street shop of CPW to justify this one. I got the same message. Later, I showed the receipt as sent by CPW to justify it. I was told to contact Orange customer service to rectify it. When I contacted Orange network, they said it was a valid number adding that CPW system is wrong. Even Orange offered to upgrade with them. But their product was out of my range. That's why I did not go through. When I contacted CPW for last time, I was given the same message. Since then I decided not to buy any product from CPW. Rather I preferred to buy online from Ebay. Last week when I relate this matter with one of my friends, he told me that he had the same experience as I had. So the Pay As You Go customers, please be careful from them.

Purchased a pay monthly Samsung phone on line for pick up in store at Carphone warehouse in Clacton. It took three days to arrive at the store despite being promised it would be delivered in two days. The staff at Clacton store were unhelpful because it was an on line purchase, I had to phone customer services to sort it out, Customer services credited ten pounds to the account to spend in store when collecting the phone. When collecting the phone the staff at Clacton provided shoddy customer service by failing to set the phone up, failing to tell me there was a ten pound credit and failed to email vodaphone to get the phone registered on the network. The carphone warehouse deals might be good but the customer service is very poor.

I went to Carphone warehouse in Frome today. Only to be ignored along with 2 other waiting customers. I left after 20mins. I then decided to use their online service, ordered the phone I desired. For next day delivery. Only to recieve an email 5hours later saying it is not possible, expect a 24hour delay. It's not the first time this has happened. *sign*

Recieved the phone i ordered online very quick indeed. The service i have had since has been none existant with regards keep my number through pac code. Was told by a member of staff at my local store when i colleted my phone from store to just put my new sim in and it will be ready. After several hours of trying to call the shop( getting no answer), the network i'm moving to no record of my number) and carphone warehouse customer service only to have a machine with no option on there relevant for my problem.. i headed back to my local store only to be told by another member of staff it will take two working days to transfer provider.....well it's been more than that and still nothing. Tried calling my local store, no answer...again!!!! Sent an email to customer services to get an automated reply saying they hope to get back to me within 48 hours. (Whoopee do)... moral of the strory is if you want to keep your number dont do it through carephone warehouse online!!!!!

NO after sale customer service My iPhone 4S broke 1 week before warranty they dragged their heels. Apple technician confirms it's a manufacturing fault. Got nowhere with on-line customer service so mailed a letter to their head office in Southampton, with copy of my invoice and Apple fault report also quoting Sale of Goods Act 1979 just in case. It's been 3 weeks haven't heard anything back, getting my lawyer involved now as this is just disgusting service. I will never buy from them again!
