Be Paid £20 For Free Calls via OneTel

Edinburghlass_2

Well, into May and Onetel have now finished this offer so I guess the time has come to unsticky this thread :wave:

Since Martin opened the thread on 7 February there have been 206 replies, lots of these have been very helpful to new users signing up to Onetel so to all Telephone Board users a big thank you.

There have been 36,750 views, hopefully many of these views have resulted in people signing up to Onetel for cheaper calls and to those viewers who have signed using the Onetel link in Martin's first post an even bigger thank you.

Just received my Yellow Pages and there is an insert from Onetel in it

Here's why over one million people have said yes to Onetel

They still plug their £9.99 line rental, cheaper than BT granted but may well be a hassle later on, i.e. problems with internet connections, using other phone companies etc etc.

I'm speaking to onetel at the moment about existing customers

After seeing the post about One Tel on this site in Feb. I tried to sign up online, the system wouldnt let me, so I called them as asked on on the site. They assured me that I would receive the £12 Greasy palm rebate, the £20 call credit and the £3.99 pm refund for 12 months. It is now May and they have never credited the £3.99 per month, I have phoned them and emailed several times and each time they say "next month it will start because we forgot to put in on yr account". I spoke to someone called Pavithra on 30.03, who said it would be on the April bill, guess what ? so I spoke to someone called Geetha on 07.05, she said the credit would start from the 21st May bill, Well Ive just seen the bill online and they have not credited me!! What can I do, I have just been holding on for 15 mins then it cut off, what a company, what a shambles, wish I had NEVER heard of them.
So Martin, if you are speaking to them, PLEEEASE can you ask them to pull their finger out and credit me the amounts I have been promised!!

I'm afraid OneTel is going down hill fast and the main cause appears to be the standard of 'service' customers are receiving from their Indian Call Centre.

As a result, I'm just waiting for the next offer of free evening AND weekend calls to come along from another company and I'll vote with my feet.

At the moment I just use OneTel for the free weekend calls so they're not making anything from me.

Do you think it's worth signing up for the Onetel Mobile then?

It allows free unlimited calls between landline and mobile, and seems like such a useful feature. Shame no other companies offer this.

What's this? Free unlimited calls between landline and mobile? I can't find this on their site. It could be free calls between landline and OneTel mobile as they run their own virtual mobile network similiar to Fresh, EasyMobile, etc.

I signed up for the One tel - free leisure talk for a year through Greasy Palm - Don't do it! Every month I have been charged for it and had to phone their'call centre' they apologize and take the amount off - eventually but the call always costs me nearly £2, I am fed up with them now and am trying to cancel their service completely. Every month I am assured by them it is corrected and I will no longer be charged, but then the next bill comes through and it is wrong again

Do none of the 0800 numbers listed on SayNoTo0870.com work now then?

OneTel have stopped their 0800 numbers for c/s (I think its just sales now that has one). OneTel do have a geographical listed on their website so together with Call18866 it can cost 2p per call.
