“I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the recent customer service experience I have encountered over the past three weeks.
The primary issue I have encountered is the lack of effective communication between departments and the prolonged duration of my ongoing query resolution. Despite multiple attempts to seek assistance, I have found myself repeatedly passed from one department to another without achieving a satisfactory resolution.
Furthermore, there were instances where I was placed on hold, only to be advised to wait for a moment while your representative sought confirmation from their manager to update my account. Subsequently, I was transferred to a different department without any prior communication or explanation.
I have also received assurance on two separate occasions via phone calls that my issue would be resolved, with the expectation that it would be updated in the system.
My initial concern pertained to the absence of insurance coverage following the change of ownership of my phone. However, upon subsequent inquiries for an update, I encountered a lack of awareness regarding the matter. I was informed that they would need to review the phone call records, but I was also advised that the likelihood of a resolution remained uncertain.”
“Probably the most immoral mobile company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. I had one of their WIFI which I paid for monthly. I reported it as stolen and was told clearly that it would be replaced or the monthly deal cancelled. I heard nothing so assumed the matter was settled and cancelled. Four months later I get notification from my credit company that EE had registered a default - I received absolutely no correspondence by letter or email. . I called EE several times and was met with pure and utter ignorance and rudeness on a scale I have never encountered. They are the most disgusting and immoral company who have zero respect for their customers and the lowlife staff who deal with these matters are a nasty bunch. I wish A Plague on all your houses”
“Just spoke to Anthony on the phone. What an absolute asset to your company, sorted everything out for my 90yr old mother. A very happy customer. Thank you”
“One of the worst networks I've ever been with, they missold me a phone and said there's nothing they can do as it's my word against theirs. They couldn't even send me a pay as you go sim card despite me explaining I need a phone for work. The shop passes me onto customer service and customer service says they can't return my device as bought in store even I'm well within my 14 day cooling period! All they care about is selling you a phone then when you're with them, they couldn't care less! Would give them a zero if I could.”
“It seems easier to get out of the mafia than leave EE. I had a mobile wifi box for years. I was well outside any contract and didn't end up needing it anymore so tried to cancel. I tried to call and could never get through. I tried to email yet no email exists. I ended up writing 2 letters, again no response. I still was charged by DD so ended up cancelling my DD.
Now I get endless letters from them threatening to disconnect me (please do! like I asked) saying I owe them money and continue to manufacturer charges for a service I do not want, need or use. Good luck with taking me legal. EE If you think people are going to take your nonsense, you are sorely mistaken.
Even their complains web link doesn't work. What a shambles this outfit are. NEVER get involved with these people. They are shocking.
They continue to hassle me, and have sent a letter saying if I pay them for this ongoing mobile broadband, then they will consider having me back. They threaten with an outfit called Moorcroft debt recovery. For so called debt THEY created!
LOL You couldn't make it up. AVOID like the plague.”
“I am EE customer from 24 months but now my contract is ending tomorrow and i am happily moving from EE to any network because of many reasons…Reasons are already mentioned by many reviewers and i am endorsing the fact that EE is not deserving more than one *Star* Rating…
-Customer Service is 0/10
-Extra Charges for no reason
-My contract monthly payment was increased from £68 a month to £94. Please don’t be scammed with EE discounts…”
“On Saturday morning my signal completely disappeared leaving my household (two phones and one 5GEE router) completely without internet or the ability to call and text.
Their website says ‘there’s an issue that should be fixed in 16 hours’, it’s been 72 hours, I’ve called them three times just to be told no one is looking into it yet. EE are expensive, because they’re ‘the best in the UK’. But that doesn’t seem to be true now at all. 1st and 2nd line support can’t do much about the issue and can’t pass me to anyone higher to talk to. Absolute joke, EE don’t care because it’s just a one mast issue (there’s only one mast for my area).
Don’t buy into the self proclaimed ‘we’re the best’. When there is an issue because of THEIR OWN ACTIONS they just don’t do anything about it.”
“Nothing I say can adequately convey the uselessness of this company (EE Store) and the utter frustration of dealing with them.
They took £900 from me for a new iPhone (just the handset, no contract etc.) and then for some bizarre reason decided that they needed copies of utility bills, driving licence and passport. All of these were provided. I happen to live in New Zealand most of the year but still have a house in the UK so my driving licence and passport are NZ.
Remember, I am buying a phone from them and they already have my money. My documents confirm my ID, my shipping address in the UK, my billing address, a page of a bank statement from the UK bank the payment was made from and even my address in NZ - apparently none of this was good enough and no one could tell me what more to provide. This transaction would take 30 seconds on Amazon - a day later I was still trying to email them to figure out how to get my money or my phone.
I found myself in the strange position where they had my money, had all of my personal details and documents, would not ship the phone, were impossible to contact and didn't offer any resolution. No amount of phone calls would resolve the situation.
I needed the phone as my existing iPhone died on the flight to the UK. I am now about to return to NZ, EE still have my money and I have no phone. Their representatives just make things up as they go along and no one takes responsibility. Dealing with them begins to feel like you are part of a huge scam.
If you enjoy grief, stress and the epitome of incompetence and inefficiency then this is the company for you - otherwise choose about anyone else; no one can be this bad.”
“I recently had an experience with EE that was far from satisfactory. I needed my call history for insurance purposes – a request that I presumed would be straightforward, especially given the urgency of the situation. To my dismay, I was informed that it would take over a month to provide this information. This delay now means I have a broken car in front of my house for an additional 30 days, waiting for insurance to address it.
Having been a Vodafone customer in the past, I was taken aback by the stark difference in efficiency. Vodafone could provide such information within minutes, making EE's prolonged timeline all the more frustrating.
Additionally, I found the staff to be unhelpful. It seemed they were rigidly adhering to protocols without considering the individual situations of their customers. In my case, the urgency and context were overlooked, leaving me feeling disregarded as a customer.
I value efficiency and understanding in customer service, and based on this recent experience, I believe EE has much room for improvement in these areas.”
“I escorted my sister who wanted to buy a pay as you go card for a trip abroad. She clearly explained this to Fatima, a sales person who then sold her a simcard. To confirm what we could use the card for, my sister asked if she could use the simcard for making calls from abroad and Fatima said no. We then asked for a refund and she rudely replied that they do not do any refunds nor do they receive any training to do so!. When we insisted on talking to the manager, she started shouting at us and even called the mall security to try and get us to leave. EE should up it's game if it wants to keep it's loyal customers. Having arrogant and rude sales people does not help your bussiness.”
“I set up roaming with EE before I travelled abroad. The fee was £15 per month to make calls to the UK or the USA and there was supposed to be a certain amount of data thrown in as well. However despite EE taking my money I found that my mobile phone did not receive calls and was unable to make calls 90 per cent of the time. There was ZERO mobile data. I also discovered in August EE had debited £35 from my bank. I called EE up and they said there had been a mistake and they would deduct a certain amount off my next bill. Also in September I noticed a further £65 had been debited from my account by EE and I was still unable to make or receive calls and there was no data. I called up EE again and after a lot of time trying to get through to them I was told there had been a mistake and my roaming contract had been cancelled and I was paying the standard rate. I said I wanted a refund and was told to call back later if I wanted a refund. Subsequently I made a written complaint and asked EE to respond in writing and I have not received a reply. EE pride themselves on being the best in the UK. The thing they seem good as is running a scam with roaming. The audacity is that I had caught them out once in August and when I alerted them to the problem EE did the same scam again in September. Also after I raised this in a written complaint to EE the company have not bothered to reply.”
“It is impressive that this person has charged me again for the cell phone that I already finished again after having spoken with them last month That they will change my contract to a rate you just say And even now they have charged me again for the device they can't get enough of robbing me, they clearly rob me again”
“Your all is very important to us. Please listed to this sht music until you eventually get 'issed off and then hang up. Thank you for being a valued customer!”
“Awful company, I’ve had a new EE sim for just 6 weeks and have had constant issues with patchy service, dropped calls and missed texts. I called and talked to a technical advisor who confirmed from looking at my call and data record that there are issues with my service in my home and work postcodes in South Devon. I was asked to try and downgrade my mobile data from 5G to 2G(?!) in my phone’s settings, but then referred to a second technical advisor to review the time stamped data that showed the issues clearly on his screen. The second advisor he passed me to however said he had to call me back as there was an issue at his site with being able to see these call logs. When he called back later in the evening he gave me a ridiculous story about the call data log not being clear or showing any issues at all, this all while his voice dropped in and out on a scratchy line during our call! Basically EE are not going to honour letting me out of my contract even though the service is shockingly bad and not reliable. I work in social community care and I have had issues affecting clients while out and about because of the terrible phone service. Don’t trust EE, they are cheats and the mobile signal is appalling.”
“I am pay as you go account. I asked to have adult material removed. I have my licence to drive. Fully accepted in any place. It not fake so why does ee this is not acceptable. Called ee give me a code. I have my password when registering my sim etc. It would appear this company is not safe to use.”
“I am a long standing EE colistomer . Increasingly the service provided by the company has been very poor and patchy.
I have called several times about drop outs to calls, lack of messaging etc. All related to the signal I receive. Yes, it’s in the country but I live on top of a hill!
I recently bought a new iPhone 16pro. I get little value for money from the service provided. Making these comments goes not make me happy. I have suggested the company set up a new mast-the current one being down the hill from me and microwave propagation is difficult!
NOTHING has improved-so where do I go from here. Some years ago the company said effectively ‘go find another provider’!
In all of this I have to say the customer service personnel have been very polite and kind . So -EE- PLEASE FIX MY PROlEms!!”
