Title: Message
I travel a lot on business, and use my mobile a lot abroad.
My average bill is around £450 per month (still cheaper & easier than using hotel phones).
Here is the thing, last Dec, I took up BT cellnet on the overseas call-saver plan (or whatever they called it at the time).
My PA normally takes care of expenses and I rarely get to see my bills or expenses. Anyway, when I tried to get GPRS (a lot of hassle getting signed on to the service) I took a look at my last bill to see if GPRS had been started..
Surprise! No discount on overseas calls since Feb!!
My PA called them, they said (after a lot of waiting on the phone and being shunted about to different teams) yes they had made a mistake and when they transferred to the new system the international call saver option did not come across.
Now here is the funny part:
They claim because I get monthly bills and I did not spot their overcharging, I am only entitled to a partial refund.
The analogy is that unless you catch someone stealing from you at the time or soon after they steal >from
Sounds fair? No wonder telco's are in trouble if this is the way they treat customers.
Any comments??
