Love and hate

I ‘lost’ my N95 last week. Actually it fell out
of my pocket while I was pretending to work in an
armchair and some kind soul gathered it up, switched
it off and locked it safely in their office until I
could collect it the next day. In the meantime I had
to call the network (3) and get them to bar the SIM
card and the phone; and then re-instate them the next
day when I got the phone back. It was one of the best
customer service experiences of my life. I came off
the phone loving 3 and everything about them - even
their patchy coverage in my area. Yesterday I had to
put a call into 3 to get the PAC code for a second
mobile phone, used by my youngest daughter who’d
already signed up to O2. They kept me on the phone
for nearly half an hour, didn’t listen to me, offered
me deal after deal when I’d already explained that I
wasn’t interested, that it was too late, that we’d
already signed a new contract with someone else. Oh
and then they hung up on me. I came off the phone
hating 3 and everything about them. When my current
contract expires and I move on, I’ll be using one of
many mobile phone deal comparison sites. I like
Omio
the best and you can read about that and the
others in an upcoming issue of
Web User.
