Tesco Mobile Customer Service
     

TESCO ARE YOU LISTENING I DON'T HAVE A PHONE, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CALL YOU.
SO I EMAILED. THEN I EMAILED AGAIN. NOW IT IS THE NEXT DAY AND NO RESPONSE
SO I SENT THIS

DEAR TESCO

I HAVEN'T GOT A PHONE

I HAVEN'T GOT A LANDLINE

SEND ME THE ENVELOPE

OTHERWISE WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, CALL YOUR 0845 NUMBER FROM A PAYPHONE, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THAT WILL COST BUT BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF TIME I USUALLY SPEND ON HOLD WHEN I CALL YOU, I IMAGINE IT WILL BE A LOT.

I HAVE GIVEN CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO, NAMELY TO POST ME AN ENVELOPE CONTAINING ANOTHER ENVELOPE FOR ME TO POST MY PHONE BACK TO YOU, SO YOU CAN FIX IT.

NOW, BEARING IN MIND I DO NOT HAVE A PHONE, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FORWARD THIS ONTO THE RELEVANT DEPARTMENT SO I CAN HAVE SOME HELP WITH THIS VIA EMAIL. OTHERWISE I WILL BE WALKING INTO MY NEAREST TESCO STORE AND DEMANDING TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER AND DEMANDING TO BE ALLOWED TO USE THEIR PHONE.

PLEASE REPLY TO THIS EMAIL

I DIDN'T GET A REPLY TO THE EMAILS I SENT YESTERDAY, ,I'VE HAD MY PHONE FOR JUST UNDER A YEAR AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO MAKE THIS REPAIR TAKE SO LONG THAT I'M NOT STILL UNDER WARRANTY

SERIOUSLY SORT IT OUT PLEASE. I'M REALLY NOT IMPRESSED RIGHT NOW

Tom Oakley: i don't have a phone so can't call

Tom Oakley: i have an incident number

Tom Oakley: 264651

Pete: I'm afraid, the handset support team can only help you with the envelope for the handset repair. 

Tom Oakley: well do they have an email?

Tom Oakley: this is ridiculous

Pete: I can help you with there contact details and you can call them from any landline number. 

Pete: I'd have for sure sorted this for you if things would have been in my hands.

Tom Oakley: So the only way to contact them is by phone

Tom Oakley: in the year 2012

Tom Oakley: there is a department of a huge mobile network that is not contactable by email

Tom Oakley: it's like someone in senior management has made the choice to make it difficult to get your phone fixed on purpose

Pete: I can understand this and we are working for on the email contact support for  handset issue. 

Tom Oakley: I wonder why that might be

Tom Oakley: so I need to call the Tesco Mobile repair centre on 0845 300 6660 right?

Pete: That's right, Lines are open Monday to Friday: 8am - 9pm, Saturday: 8am - 8pm and Sunday: 10am - 6pm. It's free from most landlines. 

Tom Oakley: ok as well as this, who can I contact in the 'tesco i want to make a serious complaint about how stupidly you run this company' department

Tom Oakley: it is utterly ridiculous i can't just email

Pete: I'm sorry to hear this. However, I've already taken this as a feedback for Tesco mobile and have forwarded the details to the relevant team. 

Pete: I'll also help you with the link for the email. 

Pete: One minute please. 

Tom Oakley: mmk

Pete: Please click here to Email us.

Pete: Is the link working for you?

Tom Oakley: yeah that link works, but basically i just need to phone? I don't know if I'm going to have access to a landline phone until at least tomorrow

Pete: I can understand how it's to be without the phone these days. 

Pete: However, we don't have the access to send you the envelope for the repair. 

Pete: We really apologize for the inconvenience.

Tom Oakley: Who is 'we'?

Tom Oakley: can you not speak to your boss

Tom Oakley: he can speak to his boss

Tom Oakley: who can talk to someone from this departmentr

Tom Oakley: to tell me that there are no channels between different departments in the same company ... i don't understand why this is

Tom Oakley: it makes no sense

Tom Oakley: at all

Pete: Do you've a number where we can call you back for this?

Pete: I haven't heard from you for a while. Are you still there?

Pete: As you haven't said anything for a while, I'm going to close the chat. I'm sorry we couldn't finish it.
