18185.co.uk Beware problems?

2»

Comments

  • I also have had trouble contacting 18185 recently.

    Been with them for a good while but had a pre-recorded message recently saying my card details required updating (I had just had a new card).

    I uploaded the relevant details via their website and all seemed to go OK until a couple of days later when I got the same message.

    I have emailed them twice but they have not seen fit to reply or acknowledge my mails. At the moment I have bypassed the call router box so of course I am making all my calls via BT.

    Whilst I would like to return to my previous call arrangement (18185/1899/Primus as per Heinz's recomendation of ages ago - thanks Heinz!) I do wish I could contact 18185.

    I need to update my payment details but can't login at the moment. Is anyone else having a problem logging in at the moment?

    I am entering my telephone and customer number correctly I have even checked my customer number by phoning the freephone number to have it read to me.

    TIA

    I'm having no problems logging in - but, as I always recommend, did that via the below link AND on Internet Explorer, not Firefox.

    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    They do occasionally have problems with their website but usually remedy problems within a day.

    In my experiencxe, the key to being able to get access when the website is working appears to be to use IE though.
