| This section
outlines the level of service which you should expect from
us. All time is UK local time.
SERVICE
HOURS FOR CONTACT BY TELEPHONE
Service hours are currently 9.30 am till 5.30 pm Weekdays,
and during these hours you will be able to speak to us by
calling (44) 870 760 5405.
NET MESSENGER
AND E-MAILS OUTSIDE NORMAL SERVICE HOURS
Contact requests, net messenger
and email communication: This is by far the fastest
way of communicating with us. We are very hot on responding
to reseller messages and often respond to emails within a
few minutes of receipt! Generally contact/emails received
during service hours will be dealt with within 1/2-2 hours,
and outside these hours and at weekends and holidays, we try
and reply within four hours.
Our service phone system explained:
When you call (44) 870 760 5405., these are
the options you will hear
:
Option 1 - Top-up - we will normally action
within 1/2-2 hours.
All we need here is your name, account number, a contact phone
number, the amount you wish to top-up by (minimum $200 by
phone) and your credit card number, expiry date, start date
and issue number if applicable.
Option 2 - Report a Fault - we will normally
respond within 1-2 hours..
This option is to enable a fault to be reported by phone.
Please don't forget to tell us your name, account number,
the destination you are having problems with, the access number
you are using, and the destination number you are dialling.
A description of the fault is also always useful; e.g. dead-air,
continuous tone, crackly line etc...
Option 3 - Problem
- we will normally respond within 1-2 hours weekdays and four
hours eveningd and weekends.
This option is intended for less urgent problems.
Option 4 - Speak to
an operator
During service hours, we will pick up your call usually within
3 rings. If all our operators are busy, we will not place
you in a queue. We will transfer you to a voicemail system
where you can leave a message, or try again in a few minutes.
BEYOND SERVICE
HOURS
Net Messenger or similar is very
effective. Contact/emails received after 9.00 pm and until
12.00 Midnight, will also usually be dealt with within 1/2-2
hours. Communication received after midnight and up to 2.00
am are very often also dealt with within 1-2 hours but officially,
we will deal with these the following morning! Telephone
messages received after hours will be given similar priority
to contact / emails and dealt with as above.At
weekends, similar rules apply, ecxept that after hours response
times will be 2-4 hours.
FAULT RESOLUTION
Please bear in mind that, apart from general
systems failures which are very rare, the resolution of faults
and in particular the time taken will depend on:
- the calling destination (e.g. Afghanistan
will usually take longer to resolve than say Australia);
- timing of the report (faults reported at
weekends can take longer as we need to test calls to destinations
and this depends on the availability of the other party),
and of course
- the exact nature of the problem (it could
be a simple rerouting requirement or it might be something
far more technical).
For these reasons, we cannot establish a meaningful service
level for faults.
Some are resolved within
a few hours, others take a few days. What is clear though
is that out of say 250 plus destinations, at any time, there
are 2 or 3 with a fault! We are sorry if yours is one of those
2 or 3 but we undertake to make every effort to ensure that
any inconvenience is kept to an absolute minimum.
