Terrible Customer Service

Your phone gets damaged. You take in for repairs with your supposed trusted insurance comapny. a month and a half later, after over 25 phone calls and having paid the excess fee, still.... no phone.<br> <br> Lets do a time-line to illustrate my absolute frustration.<br> <br> - day 1. call insurance to report the incident. await for collection <br> - day 3. phone has still not been collected to get repaired. call in & organise for a pick up time for the next day.<br> - day 4. phone is not picked up<br> - day 5. i call in again to understand why phone has not been picked up<br> - day 7. phone is picked up only on the condition that a loan phone is not given to me as they are out of stock.<br> - day 15. phone is still at repairs and has not been worked on<br> - day 17. i call in and am told that find my iphone has not been deactivated<br> - day 19. after numerous phone calls find out that my log in details were incorrectly recorded<br> - day 27. i call (yet again) and am told a replacement phone will be given as it cannot be repaired. i pay excess fee.<br> - day 35. i call in (AGAIN!!) to be told my unrepaired phone has not yet been released from the repair centre!!!<br> <br> The biggest runaround by a supposed reputable company!!

Hello Gracia_kal,

We are truly sorry for the breakdown in service and for any inconvenience caused.

We can confirm that both our Repair Centre and our partner repair centres have been experiencing high volumes of bookings, hence there was a delay.

We've now escalated your complaint directly to the management team within our Insurance Department to get in contact with Smartphone Plus and to get the claim processed and resolved ASAP.

We will touch base with you as soon as we can get feedback.

Regards
Tim
