Mobile Signal Check - Check you have coverage

We recommend checking your mobile coverage by considering the following factors:

Your Location - The further you are from a mobile phone mast, the weaker your signal will be. This weaker signal affects quality, reducing call clarity.
Your Local Environment - Hills, buildings, basements, or underground locations can all impact your phone's signal.
The Weather - Weather conditions like rain and snow can temporarily degrade your router signal.

Additionally, keep in mind that you may not always be connected to the same mobile cell tower. Networks manage customer connections based on the current load on each cell site. You might be switched to a more distant cell site if the nearest one is too busy, which can result in poorer audio quality. Multi-network SIM cards cannot detect network faults or congestion issues. Click Here to check your coverage. You need to check Vodafone, O2, EE, and Three mobile network to see which would give you the best coverage Inside the home. If you are in any doubt we would recommend having a fixed Digital line instead. Click here for fixed Digital line services

All new orders are covered by a statutory 14-day cooling-off period beginning on the date you agree to our services. In some cases, we can expedite your installation or activation. However, if your service is activated within these 14 days, you waive your right to cancel. If an ongoing order is cancelled, no additional orders will be accepted for the same name, address, or telephone number for 36 months from the cancellation date.

Credit Limit and Credit Check

When you apply for any telephone or Broadband service contract with us we will perform a hard credit check on the user and the address the service is being provided at. We may also credit check the bill payer if different to the user. This will involve a credit reference agency to confirm your identity/s. They'll also examine your financial records and borrowing history. Using this information provided by the credit-rating agency, which in our case is Creditsafe. We will then make a decision whether to accept you for the contract/service you’ve applied for. This decision is made solely by our credit-checking team based on the information from Creditsafe. A credit check is ONLY performed once a direct Debit has been set up with us, as this is regarded as an acceptance of our terms and conditions, and intent to apply for a service. If your credit rating prevents you from getting a contract from us we may offer a tailored solution for people with bad credit. If your application is accepted a credit limit will be placed on the account for any chargeable calls. This safeguards our customers from running up a large bill. If this credit limit is reached outbound calls will be barred other than 999 freephone and the NHS helplines. However, if you have a Care Alarm this may cease to operate if your credit limit is breached. Call spend Warnings can be set up within our online billing system, and we strongly recommend this is done. Please note.

Care Alarms and Digital Services - Important Information

If you have a care alarm on the premises, you must inform us BEFORE placing any order.
According to Ofcom regulations, we must be notified if there is a care alarm system on your premises, even if it will not be used with the new digital service. We need to confirm that the alarm will continue to function when the new service goes live. This ensures that those who rely on the alarm for emergency services will not be left unprotected.
We are unable to assess your premises and equipment ourselves and can only relay the information you provide. Therefore, it is crucial that you contact your alarm provider before placing an order. You need to verify that either the alarm does not require the new service to function or that it is compatible with the new service.
Failing to ensure that your alarm will continue to work may endanger the lives of residents.
