The store manager and his staff were woefully lacking in technical knowledge of the phone they were selling us even though we expressly explained what we needed the phone to do. When we tried to exchange the phone for one that worked in the way we wanted it to, the manager refused to help us. However, he said he could help if we handed over the brand new phone he had mis-sold us plus an extra £50 and he would miraculously produce a phone that does work but that we weren't allowed to mention any of this to the Carphone Warehouse. He would not tell us exactly where he would be obtaining this amazing replacement phone but did say he would meet us behind the store on his day off to complete the exchange. Now he is adamant that we buy the phone he suggested from him without notifying Carphone Warehouse or we would be stuck with the phone he originally mis-sold us. We have tried to contact Carphone Warehouse to discuss this but they will only help us if the offending store manager refers us to their helpline! It is infuriating.

Provided an upgrade to my o2 account that o2 could not match!!!. The assistant explained in full detail the transaction and stated if i get any problems to call back. Alas on charging the batery the on screen display told me the battery was fully charged and to switch off the charger, i found out to my cost this was not so and on telephoning the Bath brach, told me to take my phone to another closer branch where they would exchange the phone. My perception of Carphone warehouse has dramatically changed.

Service was nothing special, but overall I got a great phone for a great price.

Very poor experience with Watford Branch. They refuse to change a phone bought in March 09(sent in for repair in May 09)The phone switches itself off at random; often the vibrate stays on for 10 minutes & won't turn off; but CPW say it is because we have damaged the input part. HOW would this affect the phone vibrating constantly?

Though the interaction with the representative was fine when I had a recent problem with my phone (polite and willing to help), it achieved nothing. I was told to call O2 (my service provider) instead. My understanding was that I was a Carphone Warehouse customer, but this is not the case. CW merely sold me the contract, I am actually an O2 customer. There is, therefore, no benefit that I can think of to buying a mobile phone from CW. Cut out the middleman and go straight to the phone provider would be my advice.

I am writing here with regards to a wrong billing that has taken place on my mobile phone account . I have been chasing for the refund of £397.24 for nearly the last 2 months and have not seen the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ yet. Every time I try for getting the refund, I am being promised that it has been authorized and will be in my account shortly. I don’t even get to talk to anyone beyond your second level - Fanatical Team. I am extremely frustrated and find the service levels appalling. I hope my complaint here will help in the issue being sorted and the amount being refunded to my account immediately.

I have used CPW for many years and have had nothing but excellent customer service and good advice. The staff have always been well informed, courteous, friendly, patient and helpful. I don't work for CPW and am sorry for people who hae had bad experiences. I would use them again.

I bought a Sony Ericsson C905 handset in The Carphone Warehouse on December2,2008.And I paid by credit card.I went back to Hong Kong on December5,2008.The VAT Refund Receipt with envelope(had a Customs stamp) may lost because it is not shown on Global Refund Company when I phoned them.That's why I requested a Duplicated VAT Refund Receipt from The Carphone Warehouse.But The Carphone Warephone didn't give this to me to claim even I sent few e-mail.I still have lost £41.00 VAT to claim.Its service is so bad.
