Beware no WiFi calling
Be very cautious about taking the utility warehouse mobile services.
We took out the the £10 mobile service as part of bundle. Due to poor mobile signal in our village, and the fact that NONE of their mobile packages have wi-fi calling, we ended up with a phone that couldn’t be used most of the time.
I asked if I could cancel it and was told that if I did, the ‘bundle’ would cost another £150 a year. So We were trapped ... a phone service we were paying for but not receiving, and no way to get out without paying a fortune. Was told ‘just put it in a drawer if it doesn’t work’. And then pay again for another service ...
In the end they agreed to supply a signal booster box with a discount for the first year . The box costs £2.15 a month. It works pretty well, but it’s an extra box attached to your WiFi router.
WHY DONT THEY JUST DO WIFI CALLING? It’s on all the EE packages, and it’s quite unusual not to have it.
I know this is a very specific situation, but be aware.
It’s my partner’s phone, she seems ok with it now, but what a carry on.
